I have several ways of earning money on the Internet.
None would make me rich ,as in Millionaire status and none will take my earning potential into the tax payers earnings level.
They are what I call Trickle feeders.
Here are mine.
Survey sites.
YouGov This site runs surveys about news ,retail and politics mainly. To join them click on Join our Panel .
They do not have a referral scheme , I get no payment or incentive for you going through the link.
They take a while for you to reach a pay out which is £50 because they typically pay 50 pence for a survey but they now have an option to buy prize draw 'tickets' too. I don't bother with Prize draws. You can expect about 3 surveys a month but they never screen you out.
Their oracle survey are for prizes only (I have won a £50 prize once)
Onepoll Run short surveys which pay in anything from 5 pence up to 30 pence.
They also sometimes have prize surveys which don't pay but put you in a draw.
I won my ipod Shuffle in one.
Again no referral scheme.
They pay out at £40 which can take anything from 6 months to a year to reach depending on how many surveys you are eligible to answer.
Expect around 4 to 8 surveys a day. Some will be screen outs.
Valued Opinions These people send regular surveys and pay promptly.
They pay in vouchers Paper or on-line and you can donate to charity if you would rather.
There is an affiliate program but I haven't opted in .
Surveys are a few a week and you sometimes get screened out.
They usually pay around £1 but sometimes a bit more.
I like the Amazon vouchers as they can buy almost anything and are great for buying Birthday gifts as you can have the gift sent direct to the receiver and the receipt sent to yourself.
Ipsos Another site that sends regular surveys.
They are not so prolific as Valued Opinions but they pay in vouchers when you reach £5 or £10 worth of points which doesn't take long.
They don't have referral scheme that works via links I believe ,you must refer using name ,address etc . So this link is just their home page .
Non survey Earnings
slicethepie This is an On-line Music scouting site.
The site was built to give unsigned musicians a chance to air their music and have honest feedback about their tracks.
Members who scout only, log in and play through the tracks.
They must listen and evaluate the music ,giving helpful feed back.
You need patience for this and an open mind.
They pay through Pay Pal .
Payment used to be in GBP but is now in Dollars however paypal converts it to Pounds for you if you want to spend it as pounds.
Members are from various countries although I believe not India because of their not being able to use Paypal.
No referral scheme that I know of.
I have been a member for a few years now and the earnings have paid for my Greenhouse, a new fridge and the concrete base we laid for our new shed. Not to mention garden tools,seeds and a few gifts.
Shop and Scan I have just joined this one having managed to be invited, so unfortunately this does not have a button you can click to join.
It works by asking members to scan their shopping and submit a photo of their receipts so that the company can use the information to see how the trends in shopping change within the country.
Payment is in vouchers.
I now have £10 in Amazon vouchers and another to cash out tomorrow.
I joined around the 18th of october so it doesn't take long!
Swagbucks http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/beefdripping
This is a site that has quite a bit to do .
You can watch videos (10 for 3 points or bucks )
Play games (play a few in a row and be paid 2 bucks as a reward)
Do surveys (rewards vary)
Use their search. (various rewards,generally paying twice a day, I have had 12 once but it is random)
On the special offers wall there are often videos paying 1 SB to watch. Many will repeat if you leave and revisit the wall. Over Christmas there has been one paying 5 SB with about 3 to 5 revisits.
If you add their swidget or visit a site that uses it, you can find codes to give a few more SBs.
Add the toolbar on mozilla and you can gain 1 SB each day that you log in.
So far earnings average around £25-£30 a month which is very nice.
It is about 850 points for a £5 Amazon voucher or a little less for a paypal $5 amount that is worth about £3.15.
If you sign up with my referral ,I think I get equal points when you earn some on searches up till you have earned 1000 points.
I have become a bit better over the last few days at accruing points so I think you can earn at least 85 in a day (one simple daily survey is 55 points on its own)
UPDATE, the surveys are still available but you dont always qualify.
However the average earning per day for me is now..
132 points per day .
This is not that hard to do even without the offers pages as the Swag bucks TV is available every day and can provide 75 points if you are very diligent(that is their maximum for a days viewing,if you watch more than that,I assume they just don't credit)
Recently,I have been playing the SBTV app via android which runs without your needing to keep clicking each video. This is a nice way to earn another 50 points in a day and the App is down-loadable from a link on the swagbucks page
Gifthulk
http://www.gifthulk.com/?ref=37507
This is much simpler than swagbucks and relatively quick to do.
You can watch videos on the offers walls.
Do surveys and complete tasks.
There is also a code box called the fountain of youth.
The codes are reported on gifthulk's facebook page once a day.
If you are in the UK it is worth looking in the latish evening as they only last around 899 submissions and then they are expired.
There is a bonus bar set in a progress bar style, if you earn enough points to fill it up, it rewards with a bonus.
The bonus at the moment is 25 hulk coins.
You need 169 coins to redeem $5 in paypal or amazon 209 for £5
339 for $15 or £10
I have just redeemed the once so far yesterday and am already up to 78 coins again.
Providing you remember to revisit, you can build points quite quickly.
I think it took 2 weeks to get to £10 which is about the same as swagbucks.
UPDATE
The last few days however,they have had very few videos which is the bulk of the points earning potential for non USA members so I will keep you posted on progress.
UPDATE 2
Well I reached payout again for GHulk. It did take quite a bit longer this second time around.
Some days there are lots of videos and other days almost none.
Also if you have watched a video on another site,it will often show as having been viewed already(especially Matomy videos) so while it can look as though there are many to view, it can crop the amount you are paid to view them.
Keep motivated
Don't be too discouraged at the slowness of earnings.
We are all quite happy to say we have done £3 for a 40 minute survey for one company and see it as a bonus and yet winge about ONLY gaining 10p a day for 10 minutes on another site.
But the £3 survey only ever comes around once a month and the 10p can be earned every day.
While the time is less well paid for, the amount you earned in a month is the same.
Secondly,there are plenty of survey sites that will happily screen you out after 10 minutes and in that case, you would earn nothing at all.
I think it is swings and roundabouts with these things.
