  • I didn't notice Ciao mentioned on the list. It works the same way as Dooyoo, except you can request payment after you have earned £5 and it is paid out direct into your bank account.

    I write for both Ciao & Dooyoo, as do many members and reviews can be posted to both sites. If you enjoy writing (not too seriously, but like putting some decent effort in) and have time to read other peoples reviews then you can do quite well using both sites. There are quite a few competitions and weekly/ monthly incentives too which can up your earnings.

    They also have a referral scheme, so if anyone does want to join or if you just want some more info let me know x

    Sorry - didn't realise. I've been a member (albeit semi-active) for several years and have always had a URL in my sig. Apologies - rules must have changed.

    Anyway, another online money tip is dropshipping. This is essentially arbitrage between Amazon and ebay. The concept has existed for years but is experiencing a resurgence - it's not unlike selling short on the stock market, but with far less risk! (i.e. no upfront expense, or loss if costs move against you)

    There are plenty of free resources, especially on YouTube, but equally there are courses with additional support info.
  • As one of the people involved in Andromo's creation, I just wanted to mention it as a potential money making option. You can create native Android apps without programming, and either sell them in app stores, or generate ad revenue.

    Many of our users generate significant side income, some even doing it full time.

    There are various online app makers available that may be worth checking out for some extra income.
  • When looking for full or part time job online there are two things to keep in mind:
    1. What kind of job is most suitable for you!
    2. What is the time/pay ratio!
    To get it right you will need to research and research which can be also time consuming. For every legitimate website there are dozens that are scam.
  • Nothing to do with me but I tried a place called autoxlist builder com and peerfly com which the peerfly pays you for placing offers or ads on your blog/site ect much better then google as it pays by paypal both per lead or revenue

    Peerfly also shows you how to set up
  • I make quite an okay amount of money on trivago.co.uk. You can write small texts about hotels or fill in missing information about the hotels. They are always looking for more people to help out and you get paid every month for the work you do :) It is a little bit like ciao where I also do some work and can recommend.
  • I would like to know if Paid offers online website is legit.

    I came across this site few weeks ago.

    Amazon / Ebay arbitrage is a breach of both set of terms and conditions. You will probably get banned whilst scrabbling around for a few pence profit once you've paid the fees and shipping costs.

    Oh, and of course what happens when you try to fill the ebay order and the item is no longer available on Amazon? Opps - ebay rating down the toilet.

    There is no resurgence, just a couple of dubious companies trying to sell their "system" and promising people that they can get rich overnight. I have seen the promo videos - lots of bling and fist fulls of monopoly money.

    Drop-shipping itself as a model is not necessarily bad, but finding good cheap suppliers is always going to be a big problem.

    The automatic "run for the hills" warning signs on the scam sites include:

    1. Images of people bathing in money
    2. Images of oversized cheques
    3. A man wearing lots of bling telling you that he has an automatic money making system - why sell it to us for a few quid instead of employing teams of cheap employees to run the system for himself?
    4. Promises of quick & large effortless profits - the only way to make lots of money without hard work is to win the lottery or get an inheritance.

    There are genuine organisations online teaching genuine ways to make money through hard work, but they are hard to find and people tend to be less inclined to use them because, I'm afraid, many people would rather believe the conman's promises than accept that they have to work hard for a living. You wouldn't expect to get rich offline by just walking into a random office and asking them to pay you without doing any work - why should the online world be any different?
