A Little Work Can Go A Long Way
Here you'll find a few options to make an extra few dollars a month. You aren't going to get rich from these surveys and games, and if you do, you really need to get a life.
It's always nice to have an extra $100 in my bank account each month to go shopping with!

Online Cash Opportunities
It's really not that hard...
I have a shopping problem. So, I need to find ways to feed my addiction. Making money online is often quick and painless, and really takes only a few minutes a day (I know I sound like an infomercial).
My favorite is Cash Crate. I suggest creating a separate email address (or five) on GMail. Make sure you clear your cookies between each survey. I've made over $10 in two days (ok, not a lot, but that's minutes of work).
Cash Crate
Update: I made over $11 in two days -- and that's about a half hour of work.
I've also been trying a new one called Deal Barbie. It seems to be along the same lines as Cash Crate, but with a little twist.

Deal Barbie
Hint: You can use your earnings to directly purchase advertising on the site. I spent $6 to buy 10,000 shows for two separate banners referring viewers to other GPT sites. It's starting to pay off already.
Update: I made over $6 in the first twenty minutes.
Moola has kept me busy for many hours -- it's a website with three games that allow you to bet your earnings, and double up each time. You always start with a cent. I often don't play the games because I tend to be somewhat risk averse (even with free money!). However, I did install the search bar, and have receive multiple checks from it. A few weeks back, someone actually won $9,000 from the search -- I honestly didn't think it was possible.

I've been using Blingo for a long time. Blingo is basically Google, with the chance to win cash, movie tickets, jewelry, etc. I've never won anything, but it is possible.
XSV Cash is nice because it will pay directly into your PayPal account -- however, may of the offers are UK only, so be careful.

More to come!!
A little advice for the road...
*Clear your cookies between each survey, each website, etc.
*Create multiple email addresses -- many surveys are run by the same company, and will not give credit for the same email address.
*Run a spyware program each night -- I like Ad-Aware
*Don't dedicate too much time -- you may make up to $20/hr, but that depends on the site, the offers, etc...seriously, get away from your desk and exercise once in a while (shopping is exercise).
*Visit forums -- you'll find hardcore fans who live for the site, but you'll find good tips also.
*Have fun. Seriously. Don't get so into it that you believe that you should pay the sites for their services. The sites are making bank. You don't owe them a thing.
Also-- I really, really, really like this idea:

Brring plays a message at the start of each call -- so they give you a phone number to give out to all of these survey places, and you get paid $.05 for every call made. So what's the big deal?
A. You get money for those stupid telemarketers calling
B. The ads will help fend off telemarketers
C. You don't have to give a fake phone number -- which is considered fraud. This forwards to your real phone number.
I love it.
