Making Reasonable Money Online

Hi guys and gals,

I wanted to make an up to dated post on this topic as websites shut down, rename and change their pay rates all of the time.

If you're like me and LOVE money (don't we all, lets be real) I have some ways that successfully made me a few buck here and there over the course of a year and a bit (Total: ~£730). Lets begin:

1. prolific -This is a survey site BUT, I found that it actually pays better than other sites like this out there. Some researchers are willing to give out rewards as high as £5 for doing something that takes 20mins (that's £15 per hour). I have even received bonuses that range from £0.50-£5. (I made around £200 within 6 months, ~£30 per month)

2. gener 8 ads -This is a really great one as you don't do anything. It replaces regular adverts with their adverts which give you a % of the money made when viewing them. Essentially you are being paid to see the ads you would normally see. This does require you to give up adblocker. However, They also have a similar thing called Tabs, when you open a new tab you'll be bought to a new splash screen which automatically has an advert on there. Every time you open a tab, you get paid (cool eh). (Up to this point I have made £220, I continue to make around £20 per month from browsing the web).

3. Slice the pie -This is a review site. You can listen to music, watch trailers, view product designs and rate them all. The website will give you like 5 questions to answer in short sentences or pick from a list. The pay isn't 100% great but, its quick to do every now and again. You also get paid more, the more "good" reviews that you complete. (I made £100 from this within 8 months).

4. Fiver -If you are a uni or A-level student with a talent in music, design, writing or languages, you could make some serious cash on here. I composed some music on here for various people and charged £25-60 per composition depending on amount of instruments/complexity. Designs and art can go for £100's if you are actually good!! However, you might find it difficult when starting out as buyers probably won't buy from you. (I don't do this anymore but managed to bag £200 in total)

These are only SOME ways that can make you money online however, I only wanted to share the sites that made me more than £10 in three months... If you have any other GOOD sites, drop em down below as I might check them out.

You realise that with all the sport basically cancelled bar a few horse races, now is not the time to start matched betting unless you plan to survive off casino offers (and hope you don't have a bad run).
