However, in these tough economic times you would be lucky to have a job in the first place let alone trying to find a part-time job. So, how can we get the extra cash that we so desperately need?
For years now many individuals have been turning towards the internet to make money. I know we all can be skeptical at times, but contrary to popular belief there are many legitimate ways to make money online. I am in no way an expert when it comes to making money online; however I have been able to earn money online. In this lens, I will discuss some of the ways that you can make money online.

- Usually all survey sites have a great referral rewards on multiple levels which in turn can addup to amazing sums of money for the sponsorer. Fact is that in the end, someone will still have to take those surveys, and this can be pretty time consuming.

- I'm still working toward making money online. I'm trying to make sure all my lenses are on page 1 of Google for their keyword and applying to affiliate programs, but no sales yet. I'm also interested in creating websites, but then you have to get domain names and hosting. Paid survey sites like the ones you mentioned seem like they could help me get the ball rolling. Thanks for a useful lens!
