I've started looking for an online income a few years ago, but I started in seriously about two months ago. I've spent hours online and visited hundreds of websites. As yet I haven't made a cent. It is so complicated and confusing, that I don't know at this stage which survey site or blog to open first. My email in box is so full, but I'm to sacred to just delete all the emails, because just maybe there is still one that could deliver.

What I hate most is that they all promise tens and hundreds of dollars for just an hour or two's work and then on top of it all it's totally free. When you now start registering then you get to the bottom of the page and then you find out there is $29.99 or $34.95 risk free money to be paid.

You do get a 30 day or 90 day money back guarantee. I do admit that so far I did actually receive all my money back, after I realized that I wasn't going to make money and I asked my money back.

I you're like me and you know little about websites and web hosting,links, blogs and forums then this becomes really frustrating.

Now I've ended up with Helium for exactly the same reason, trying to earn money. I must admit I haven't really tried to write or debate yet. I'll still give it a go.

Blogging now seems to be the holy grail of earning money online. The complicated part seems to be advertising. You apparently now have to use Google Adsense and Yahoo and MSN to get ads on your blog or whatever. I wish somebody could explain this to me in layman's terms. There are programs that promise to explain all this and make it unbelievably simple, but once again at a price.

So, if there is somebody out there with real compassion for us poor clueless, desperate to survive souls, PLEASE HELP and explain this to us, so that we could possibly also start earning some real money.
