New to all of these things - Really confused. Help? :)

Hi there, first of all just to let you all know I have gone through the forums and read alot of the posts (probably explains why i'm still away and nearly half 4 in the morning! :D)

Basically, I'm confused. It's all quite overwhelming and exciting and I felt the need to post this in the hope that you could give me some advice on what may best suit me and my situation.

I am recently graduated and finding it very difficult to find jobs, I live with my grandmother who is disabled so money is very tight here. Any extra money to go on shopping or anything at all would be a help so I'm curious about making some extra money.

First of all, could you help point me in the right direction?

Survey Sites:

I have already signed up for survey sites like ValuedOpinions, OnePoll, and Toluna. Are there any you feel are better or just as good as these?

Cashback:

I haven't signed up for any of these because I feel that I probably won't find any use. If I'm correct, basically It's just about saving money off things you purchase right? It's not about making a profit or just money?

Ebay

Ebay is great and I have made money on there but I have run out of things of worth to buy s I won't be using it anymore. I understand that I can buy for cheap and sell again and maybe I will go down that route at some point.

Mystery Shopping

I have looked at this but I don't this would suit me currently.

Any other methods or things to try? What has helped to earn you the most money? What would you recommend? Thanks so much for this.
