    ebay

    A friend of mine used to buy and re-sell skateboarding shoes on ebay and made a lot of money. Craigslist is a good place to find deals as well. If you find something really cheap, buy it and re-post for $20 more, you will eventually get a buyer.

      which one is the best way to earn quick money??????
      I don't really think that there is any way to earn quick money on line, especially if you are looking for a lot of quick money! As to driving folks to your blog. You have to write interesting material, update it a lot and promote it at places that people reading it or would be interested in it would congregate. Takes a lot of time for most people to get a good blog going with enough visits to make decent money.

        Not sure if someone could earn money doing this or not, but one thing I see is many websites, blogs, store listings etc. with horrible spelling and puncuation. I've tried to get my son (a champion speller) to offer to correct these things for pay but he doesn't like the idea. I realize that spell checks are available, but they don't always catch the little things that computers can't catch like ware and wear. Both are spelled right but mean different things.

        So there is an idea for free on something someone can do for pay on-line. I would suggest that you focus your efforts to on line sellers that English is their second language. They are trying hard to get it right, but much of their writing is incomprehensible. Trying to sell this idea to US citizens is pointless as many are in the mindset of "that is how I write, live with it" not realizing that it can detract bigtime from what they are saying or selling.

        Anyone who has read enough of my posts knows I have problems spelling myself (I fight dyslexia daily) so go for it. If someone tries this idea I would like to know how you do though

          online

          i'd say internet marketing all the way, it's only going to get more in demand and allows for flexible working

            Hello all! I just found out I can make close to 200 a month extra through plasma donating at my local clinic. You snooze you lose on that method

              If you have the guts and the patience, freelancing online would be best. I am not able to work by servicing others like mowing their lawn of something so what I do is use the internet to generate additional income. I'm working for a few months now through odesk and although the pay is low, it is still better than having none.

                  Xtra Cash

                  Depending on your intent. I know promotional modeling pays some good extra money, you can find jobs online all the time listed on craigslist, your considered an independent contractor. And its not always really modeling, its sampling, talking to people/customers. You would be called a brand ambassador. I do this for extra money, there are tons if not hundreds of marketing companies out there with jobs and positions. Also another thing I do is secret shopping, I know alot of people feel its a scam, but if you do your research you can find the one site that promotes it and is honest and they will list a bunch of others that are out there as well. It may start to put some extra cash in your pocket as well as may get you some stuff for free since they reimburse you, they have everything from movies, batteries, party stores, restaurants... and Im sure many more. Just a thought.

                      I did download that book for free, thank goodness. It is geared for kids just graduating high school and yet not really for them. Not a lot of substance to the book. IMHO

                      • Would you guys say that all quick trick money making promo's are too good to be true?
                        Absolutely! Pretty much everything in life of value takes effort and time to achieve.

                          • Eggs

                            I know it sounds a little crazy, but most large cities have listings on Craigslist for egg donors, for couples who want to have children. The pay can be pretty substantial.

                            • Hey now! I haven't read this entire thread so forgive me if I over-looked this one. I just thought of this one ideal online job (at least to me that is). Teach an online course. I haven't looked into this myself but now that it crossed my mind I may. See if your local Adult Education schools are hiring. Community Colleges, private/public universities may also be hiring. Actually the institution doesn't even have to be local, it can be at opposite ends of the country. There is Kaplan, Devry, Ashford, Walden, Phoenix, etc. Adult Education classes are numerous from typing, to GED prep, to information technology, business, etc.

                              • hmmm

                                Great lists,

                                Well there are many ways to make money online..
                                Blogging
                                Surveys
                                Ebay
                                Affiliate programs
                                Referral programs

                                I would not pay $500 to join an online business, but if its less than $100 why not. I don't really believe in businesses that you join for free.
