Finding a job can sometimes be rather difficult. Trying to make a living on-line can be even harder. With a bit of time and dedication though, it is possible. How do I know? Well I have made money myself. As a teenager, it has been hard for me to locate an employer willing to hire people with no previous work experience, so naturally I had to look for another source of income.

First looking at data entry jobs on-line, I quickly decided not to even try because most appeared to be scams. They all looked for a one time fee and then you would become just like them, posting an ad on the Internet trying to send people the same product you just bought for $50. I personally will stay away from those.

I have found a pretty decent source of income filling out surveys/offers on-line. With a lot of extra time on the weekends I have found a few sites where you are paid to fill out forms or fill out surveys on-line. Most offers you fill out are free and you can earn from as little as fifty cents per offer to up to four dollars. Others require credit cards as you sigh up for free trials, and you receive a larger sum in return ranging from two dollars to fifty dollars. These could be offers requiring a small payment, or they could be completely free as long as you cancel your account before the end of the trial period.

Many of these sites also have a referral system as well for extra income. If you refer people to the site you do the offers through, you can make a percentage of what your referral makes. Also some websites have contests, or trivia games to give small bonuses.

Sites generally pay out by paypal, check, or in gift cards. But you may ask, how do they make money if they can afford to send you money? Well they are referring you to the offers/surveys, and make a little money for doing so, and they give you a portion of what they make. Having hundreds of users being referred makes them a lot of money.

A few sites that I personally use and have been paid by can be found below:

This was the first site I joined when looking to make money. I made about $70 in a few days doing just the free offers and having no referrals.

I have made a lot of money here just off of bonuses and promotions they have. I think I have doubled my money in doing so. They have many very simple surveys/offers, especially for new users. I would recommend using this site. It may not look professional but I've made a lot more money off of it than Cash Crate.

As a teenager I've been able to earn some spending money off these sites to suffice until I can find a job. I wish anyone looking to make some extra cash to try this. It gets easier as you get used to filling out the offers and surveys.
