    What is the best way to make money on the internet?
    Looking for any good ideas to make money on the internet over the summer other than completing surveys. Maybe buying and selling goods on ebay but not sure which products could bring in the most revenue and i've heard that a lot of the profit goes towards paypal fees anyway..

    If it was that obvious and easy, everybody would be doing it.

    Money is a valuable commodity because it is, generally, hard to get large quantities of it. If you want it, work for it.

    I didn't say anything about it being easy i was just seeing if anyone had any suggestions and had made money from it.

    And if they had, do you think they'd tell other people who'd then effectively be 'taking' their money?
    Inject some realism into your thoughts, it'll help you out.

    I was wary of this for a while, but used a website called FixTheOdds which works out everything for you, and takes you through each offer step by step, telling you exactly what you need to bet on what in order to win.

    I made £500 in about six weeks last summer, and plan to make a little more when I get paid at the end of this month. Nothing to be worried about; the only thing that can go wrong is if you make a mistake placing the bet, but as long as you're careful there's no reason that this should happen.

    I can think of a few ways, but they involve getting naked.

    Matched betting is theoretically risk-free, but the fact that bookies are ambivalent toward it tells you all you need to know. The danger is that you will probably make mistakes or become impatient, rather than any inherent flaw in the system.

    they wouldn't be 'taking' their money but just giving ideas, doesn't mean that they would copy it exactly. I know of plenty people who have done it and told people how they achieved it and no one has 'taken' anything. Obviously you're not the type of person to help anyone out.

    Nothing to do with luck- you can't lose as long as you follow the instructions. Bear in mind I had a little money to invest at the beginning; if you're working from scratch you will get there eventually but it will take a lot longer.

    How long does it take to complete the offers?

    They vary. It depends on the T&Cs of each offer (for some you'll need to place more than one bet to withdraw cash, for example) and when you place your bets for. I had some offers that were completed in less than 48 hours, and others which took the best part of the whole week. But you don't have to complete any offers you don't like the look of, and plenty of information is given about each one so you'll know what's expected of you.

    If you don't mind using twitter, one of the best ways I know to make money online is to start a twitter fanpage. This is really fun, and I would recommend it to all students because you can definately do it while your at uni, you only need to spend about 5-15 minutes a day on it.
