i'm struggling so hard to find work at the moment, is there anything i can do online to earn any money? i've tried surveys before but they take too long and rarely pay out. im good at things like, typing up documents, blogs etc, playing /reviewing games, researching. i can use photoshop and MS office, and im always willing to learn new things. Is there anything that can help me start earning any money?

    There's lots of info on here about all sorts of ways to earn extra. If you read through a few pages you'll get lots of advice.
    If you find anything online, always have a search on here as the chances are it's been mentioned somewhere.

    You could start by trying Mystery shopping, if you look at the thread for mystery shopping you will find a whole heap of information and tips to make your life easier as well as having alot of experienced MS'ers on the thread.

    Another thing you could try is a new website called ChaCha where you basically answer peoples questions by searching on google ect, although this pays an average of 7p per question if your online and can do a question per minute thats £4.20 per hour.

    Or you could try a website called https://www.musicmagpie.co.uk which basicaly pays you to sell your old music cds and games!
    Best of luck.

    There is a great site which I've previously mentioned on this forum and is all the rage right now. The site is http://fiverr.com/ and this brings together both people wanting to buy and sell various services for $5. This is a great way in which to carry out various micro jobs like article writing, backlinks, builing squidoo lenses, twitter followers and so on. You simply open up a free account with fiverr.com register your paypal account and then you can easily upload your details with effective titles, picture, description and keywords with their easy to use web platform. For every completed task you get paid $4 which is available for withdrawal after 14 days and please make sure you can do the jobs you advertise well and that it takes a maximum of 30 minutes or you'll become a busy fool. Build up your positive feedback and the orders will start to come more frequently.

    Best of Luck

    You say you're good at typing things up, blogging etc, so maybe you could give article writing a go? Sites like Associated Content (run by Yahoo) pay for your articles, although it's not huge money unless your articles are very popular.
