How to make extra cash/up income.

Hello kind people, I am on the scrounge, how can I make extra cash online quick and easy with the tools that I have i.e. my PC.
Any help and advice would be appreciated, thank you in advance.
Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Read back through the threads and pick something you like.

    Not knowing anything about you I can't recommend anything. All I can say is if something is mentioned in here it is looked at by many people and if there is anything "dodgy" about it they will warn the rest of us.

    The current ones that a lot of people are into are Slice the pie (music reviewing), if you are good with words try Writers:Share. If you have things to sell, try Ebay and in general surveys are always good.

    It all depends on how much time you have and your preferences. as geordie joe suggested, take a look at some of the threads in this forum and see what works for you.

    Nice to meet you. The first 38 years of my life were spent in and around Gateshead.

    It all depends what you like to do. Slice the Pie has been mentioned but at least one person who thought it was great not long ago has said she and it are not the best of friend now as it is hard work. Sitting writing reviews about music could get a bit mind numbing!

    Writers:share has also been mentioned and it looks promising, if you like to write. And if it ever gets up and running again.

    Most of the things on here, that don't involve selling your own stuff, are hard work. Usually they end up boring and repetitive too. That's why they pay you for it.

    I know that selling your own stuff is hard work to, but with that you are your own boss and stand or fall on your own merits.

    If I were you I would read through the threads and try as many as you can, then stick to the ones you like.
  • Lol i think that was me that said that :-)
    Slice the pie is grand if you have the patience but its a slow go and takes a fair bit of time :-) and occasionally gets a bit too much so i took a break

    there are a few things that might help i would reccomend a combination of things :-)
