Working Online

Options
I'm interested in working online, there are a number of factors which have pointed me in this direction.. The fun and different challenges you receive as well as the final pay-day.

However, after a long and essentially fruitless search... I've come back to my starting point, nothing.

The type of things I'm willing to do;
Research, Writing, Forums (Helping Set-Up/Run) and other general things such as this and will just about stretch to most tasks.. All for good pay.

Can anyone recommend somewhere to look for jobs like this?

Thanks,

RS-Sales

    Dig a bit deeper in this forum, search for 'AQA' :)

    Its very difficult to find anything that can give any kind of real income, not even a half part time jobs worth and with the hours you have to put in to earn that sort of money then its really a tough bit of work to make it worthwhile.

    In my experience of these forums the most worthwhile are:

    Slicethepie but that will make your ears bleed before long as some of the songs on there are dreadful, but its good for a while.

    Onepoll is good but you make your money pretty slowly, for me it tends to be between one and three surveys a day earning usually 10p and then 1-3 competition ones which earn you nothing but give a chance to win more.

    I used to be a member of a website called mylot that paid you to write comments but it tended to reward rubbish comments and not be nice to people who were actually made the effort to write useful or interesting points so I gave up on that but it was a nice idea as was writersshare which paid me very well but I think I got away from it just in time as everyone since has had problems.

    I have tried using my homepage friends but I wouldn't recommend it despite what others say (at times). I all too often hear complaints, I can't access my account and despite asking for my password several times (despite having used the right one to try gain access) I have not recieved any email to let me know what it is, avoid if I were you, as you won't get anything anyway.

    AQA tends to be pretty difficult to get into but if you can get into that sort of thing then I think it could make you a little money but for the effort it takes to apply then I am not sure it would account for the amount of money you would eventually be earning and they tend to chuck people off and chop and change their stances on how you should answer.

    What you are willing to do sounds similar to me, and many others around but the opportunities are scarce and rarely deliver on what they promise. Running forums for bingo halls I have heard to be successful but I had no luck and eventually gave up on this.

    I have been doing things online to earn money for a while and have earnt a total of about £50 and most of its not really worth the effort but I shall continue looking.
