How to make a little extra money online doing tasks

We take a look at a couple of recommendations for people looking to make a little extra money from the Internet completing tasks.

We should begin this post with a certain caveat. And that is this – if you think you can earn a full time income working part time from the Internet just by doing mundane tasks like posting links across the Internet, then you’re asking to be let down.

Because you just cannot do it.

And if any website tells you that you can, they’re lying to you.

There are lots of great ways to earn a little extra cash by doing tasks like completing surveys, giving your opinion, even watching videos. But the very important thing to note here is this – you can’t get rich doing it.

It makes sense, after all. If you could get rich doing mundane online tasks that anyone could do, everyone would do it!

If you're looking for a good website to make some extra cash, we recommend two sites here that a brilliant, and they both work in completely different ways. Those sites are Fiverr.com and Swagbucks.com SwagBucks is probably the best option for most that are just looking to make a little extra cash on the Internet, since it involves exactly what we described above – completing surveys, giving your opinion etc.

Each time you do that on the site, you earn SwagBucks, and these can be cashed in for gift vouchers (or money to your PayPal account) once you accumulate enough of them. We worked it out that roughly 100 SwagBucks will equate to around $1, but you can easily make a couple of hundred of SwagBucks each day if you have an hour or so to spare. That could mean at least one household bill paid each month, or you could save throughout the year and make a sizeable dent in that Christmas shopping!

You can sign up here for SwagBucks.

Fiverr is a little different in that it is a website where people go to hire others to do small jobs, starting at $5. This is a great place to make a little money if you have some kind of talent that people are willing to pay for across the Internet.

This can be almost anything. Graphic design or illustration, programming, completing levels on video games, pranks, personalised videos, giving advice on a specific subject, drawings or paintings, arts and crafts. Anything.

You simply sign up to the site, tell people what you can offer and what your starting price is. Most will begin at $5 but you can upsell other talents or expand on your service for more money.

If you have a talent that people would pay for, you can sign up for Fiverr.com here.
