Today many communities are seeing a decrease in employment opportunities. Many of these people need to earn a living and can not afford to be without some type of income. Many of these people find themselves victims of work at home scams. The question is is there really any jobs out there online that will cost you nothing and earn you an income?

If you are searching for a lump sum pay check online gigs may not be where you should be looking to apply unless you are willing to pay to start up a business. Just as you find mail order scams many of these companies online are also frauds. My rule of thumb is this: if you must pay be weary because most times you see no results.

The things that I have found online that is free to join is not a full time job with a pay check but can earn you a bit of extra cash here and there. Many of the sites I am using here are survey sites and pay very little to be honest. However if you need a bit of cash over time if you join enough you can earn a bit to pull you out of some hard spots.

There are many people today that make a living with Ebay. Ebay is free to join if you have a email address that is paid. Most anyone with a computer has an email service through their Internet service provider and this will suffice as your paying email. Simply sign up for your free account and you can begin selling items on Ebay. You can use Ebay to sell items that you no longer need or use much like a yard sale. The only charges you have are the few small fees Ebay charges to market your items and if you use any of their special items such as borders, extra photos, or the new item icon.

I myself tried Ebay and did not have a lot of luck. I just didn't want to invest the time that Ebay required to be a success. I decided to expand my boundaries and look for other ways to earn cash online. I discovered survey sites. Many of these are scams but a few of them I found are great to have on hand for a few extra dollars here and there. Here is a list of the best ones that I have found to earn extra cash with.

* NFO-:http://fun.mysurvey.com/j oin.cfm?r=1895060

* Survey Spot-https://www.surveyspot.co m/join/Join.faces?VendorID=33& OptInSource=usgen&locale=en_US

* Pinecone Research- You must find this link online to apply to their panel.

Aside from Ebay and survey sites you can write for sites such as this one. I have earned well with Helium since joining in 2004. Membership is free and with the added Market place earnings are growing on a daily basis.

There are many things one can find to invest their time in online. There are many that are legit if you can only find them. It is a great idea to search for sites that have a positive track record. You can join forums and find many researched ideas here on Helium Knowledge. Keep looking to find what it is you are searching to do. Form allies with those who have tried it before you. Get the facts then make your own plan on how to use what you have found. Good luck to you in your hunt for online work free of charge!
