Money-making surveys

Firstly find out which company you want to work for there are a couple of ways you can do this.

Most survey companies allow current members to invite friends so if you receive an invitation from someone you know you can trust then there's no harm in going for it.

You could also of course simply do a Google search for paid surveys but unfortunately a Googling doesn't always give you a straight answer you are going to get a million and one hits if you simply search for "Online Surveys".

An easier way to start would be with www.surveypolice.com they have a list of all the legitimate survey companies, with comments and a place to rate each of the companies.

The following is a couple of the better online survey companies:

Inbox Dollars - www.inboxdollars.com You will receive $1 for a survey and you're allowed one survey every day, they also have a paid emails facility which may not pay much but you still read your emails do you not?

My Survey - www.mysurvey.com - look like one of the best with points being awarded for each survey completed.

1000 points equals $10 but they are forever awarding bonus points, so that racking up the points doesn't take that long

Finally, remember you won't get rich with these online survey companies and there a lot of companies who want to get their hands on your money instead of vice versa.

Blogging for money

There's a good chance that you have mixed feelings about blogging for money, it's common for some people to think it might be evil, lame or obnoxious or anything like that then the answer is simply don't commercialise it.

But if monetizing your blog doesn't offend your sensibilities then go for it, on the other hand if you think it's evil, then that's fine too.

But you must seriously make up your mind before you start, because making money in this way is difficult enough without self-sabotage kicking in and making your attempt somewhat half-hearted.

It should feel pretty good making some money from your blog, there's nothing wrong about having a healthy need to succeed.

If in your opinion your blog has real value, then you deserve to earn something from it.

But you can't be shy about the whole thing, if you want to put in some ads, then really put those ads in there it has to be the same with requesting donations, don't be shy.

There are always some who will complain when you commercialise a free site, they always do.

Is it possible to make a proper income online? Without a doubt. It will take longer if you have a day job but the opportunities exist.

What is Niche Devil?

In the words of the developers themselves it is for, "Making money by feeding the Google Monster what it wants without barely lifting a finger".

A cool, if overlong tag line, but it's not about that, it's about whether or not it's worth the money!

The initial setup is intriguing, firstly you buy MANY domains, hosting and Niche Devil, then you install Niche Devil on your on your hosting account, you run the script, insert your chosen keywords and your affiliate links for the store you're building and abracadabra, Niche Devil spits out a site with content and products in about 37 seconds. Got to be witchcraft, all you need now of course is a few visitors with deep pockets, and Niche Devil promises that too with a little help from pinging but for the moment let's take a breath and consider the pros and cons.

The script has to be uploaded to your server/hosting account via ftp and your server/hosting account must meet certain minimum requirements.

Just like the old BANS stores, Niche Devil does the same thing and look what happened there, Niche Devil is making a lot of noise about "ever refreshing" content, scraping or pulling media from all around the Internet that relate to your chosen keywords, it works well and looks pretty good but what about the legality of using what maybe copyrighted material?.

Niche Devil is also stating things like, "Hurry up, only available for 14 days" which can only raises various issues.

Why are they restricting their selling window? To get you to buy now, or are they worried about what happens when experience kicks in and we know what we're dealing with and why would you sell a product you are convinced will make everyone so rich and not just use it yourself.
