FREE ONLINE MONEY

Aims of this Zone

This zone is designed to offer information regarding, and links to, on-line sites where the reader can earn a little extra money. How much you earn will depend on you and how much time you have to spare. However, please note that none of these sites require a fee. Personally, Ethel would say, do not join any site which claims to offer you a way to make money, if you have to pay a joining fee. Similarly if the site seems to be too good to be true, then it probably is.

Ethel Smith has been a member of all the sites that are recommended here, unless otherwise stated.

Over the last couple of years many of the survey and review sites on-line have been revamped and amended. Overall they still offer some welcome extra cash. Some survey sites only pay in gift vouchers, which may be for Argos, Waterstones, HMV, Tesco, Next, Amazon or John Lewis. Others send a cheque but only after a certain level of earning has been reached.

Review websites and Mystery Shopping usually pay by cheque or Paypal. A Paypal account is easy to open and manage. If you are unsure check out Ethel's easy 1-2-3 guide to opening a personal, paypal account.

Please feel free to send Ethel Smith any details new sites of this type, which she will include if appropriate. Ethel will also include your link referral if it is a new site that is new to her.

Please enjoy this zone, broaden your on-line earnings horizon and have some fun.

Be so kind as to join the recommended sites following Ethel's referral link where applicable, and she will reciprocate if possible.

Thank-You.

The Homeofresearch website has been revamped recently. However the surveys and payments are as good as ever. Invitations to take part in on-line forums usually receive a payment of £25 to £30 for just a couple of hours work on-line. Subjects are often banks and insurance products. Ordinary surveys are fairly regular and it does not take too long to reach the £20 payout threshold.

Your email address is needed if you are happy for Ethel to refer you.

Fancy trying your hand at Mystery Shopping?. There are many such sites on-line to join. Try googling Mystery Shopping and you will see for yourself. However, take care. Only use reputable sites and never pay a fee to join. Remember that you will have to take into account costs such as:-

Travelling.

Electricity.

Paper.

Time.

Choose your assignments well in order to get the best rate of pay after such deductions. You may also have to pay income tax.

Ideas for earning extra money in your spare time

TOPCASHBACK

Topcashback is free to join and charges no annual fee. It offers a low payout as long as you leave a little time between each request. Payments can be made by paypal, cheque or to a bank. All are free but using a paypal account offers you a possible payout sooner, as the payout threshold is less. Topcashback now pay a TOP-UP which, depending on your month's activity on the site, increases your payments.

Of course if you are checking out this zone you may already be a member of Helium.com. If not referral is by email again. Let me know if this is your choice. Otherwise join direct at Helium.com. Helium has grown so much since I joined a couple of years ago to my mind it is the best review and article writing site around.

With competitions, the marketplace, bonuses and much more it is easy to achieve some decent money. Payout is made once you have at least 25 dollars in your account. Do not be deterred if this seems hard to achieve initially as you will soon see the money roll in. As always a little perseverance will help.

Earnings are paid to a paypal account.

GLOBALTESTMARKET offers payout once you have racked up 1,000 marketpoints which is worth 50 US dollars. Membership is available in the UK as well as in the US. Surveys are frequent and you will receive a small payment even if you are clicked out of the full survey.

Writing reviews on dooyoo.co.uk has become more profitable lately in many ways. Each review, over 150 words long, will receive 50p plus a small amount each time a member reads and rates your review. Reviews can be on travel, household goods, music, television and much more. The referral scheme is fairly new to Dooyoo and is via email again.

Once you have earned £10 you can be paid with an Amazon voucher. Above £10 it is in multiples of £5. So £15, £20, £25 for example. To be paid in cash you will need to have earned £50 but this takes less time than you would perhaps think.

Send Ethel your email address or join direct at www.dooyoo.co.uk

YOUGOV offers suveys with a difference. This site offers surveys that often are about your politics, current affairs, the economy and more. Each survey usually pays 50p or 75p and they are easy and quick to complete accurately. Earnings are not paid until you reach £50 which can take quite some time but is worth it in the end.
