I review some survey sites to make money that have worked for me at [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) What you have to do is complete surveys and offers for companies that want the public's opinion. By doing this, you are able to earn money very easily for simply giving your opinion or trying out sample products. This is a great service that allows one to work from home, on their spare time, at their leisure, and still bring in a nice sum of money every month. People have made up to $1000 easily on this site by just working on it in their spare time. It is not going to replace a real job's salary, but it is a very nice bonus. There are also many features on these web site, such as contests and special surveys, from which you can redeem extra prizes that would be sent to you with your monthly cheque, such as iPods, Xbox 360s, PSPs, digital cameras, gift certificates, and much more.
"If the site doesn't get paid from me, then why would they have this service going?" - The sites don't get paid directly from you, but when you complete an offer or survey, they also get paid a small portion of what you earned yourself. For example, if you complete a survey about computers let's say, you would earn maybe $2 and the web site itself would recieve $0.50 from the company also for getting you to complete the survey. These surveys take little time at all, most taking up less than even 1 or 2 minutes of your time.
Fraud is also a big deal on the Internet these days, and this site recognizes that. That is why they ask for ONLY three bits of information: Your name, email address and your home address. Yup, that is all. No credit card information, no banking information, nothing like that. All they require is your name and address so that your cheque can be sent to your home every month. Your email address is only required to confirm that you have done the offers and surveys. Fortunately, no spam mail or junk mail is ever sent out by this site and your information is never shared with any other company.
Personally I have been a member of these websites, along with thousands of other satisfied users, for approximately 1.5 years now and have earned well over $8600 by working in my spare time. This web site has been great to me, also the members and administrator are very friendly, and are always there to help you with a question or problem you may be having. So far, I've listed only positives about this site, because I can't think of a single negative thing about it. Earn money in your spare time, at no cost to you...Easy as that! I give you my word that they pay.

And if you wanted to walk dogs, you could put posters somewhere where someone walking their dog would see it. Good luck with your money-making! [ Helpful's advice column | Ask Helpful A Question ]
x0xfabulous0x answered Sunday July 9 2006, 8:20 am: Hey! I know how you feel, I need some money and I have the worst time finding people that need babysitters. Ok anyway so theres a few things you can go on. You could put an add in your local paper with your name, phone number, what you charge, and what you provide. Sceondly you could make up fliers and stick them in peoples mail boxes. If you can get at least one or two people, word of mouth will spread and hopefully you'll be getting a lot of calls. Good luck I hope I helped!

orphans answered Saturday July 8 2006, 1:08 pm: You could...: babysit, mow lawns, dog walking, dog grooming, bake sale.... etc. All you do to ask the people is to print up some flyers on ur computer, and stick them in selected houses thru-out ur neighborhood. a way of doing this is: if the person is elderly, they will hire you, because they won't want to do any of the chores, or if you know people who have dogs....
Risax14 answered Friday July 7 2006, 11:56 pm: - Mowing Lawns
- Paper Route
- Cleaning Houses
- Pool Work
- Walking Dogs
- Babysitting
There's plenty of things to do. If your having trouble asking people if they want your help then post a flyer. Let people know how much money you want & what your willing to do. Leave your phone number there & hopefully you'll get some cash. Good Luck =)

holahayley56 answered Friday July 7 2006, 11:51 pm: I have a paper route, its so easy. All you have to do is drop a piece of paper by someones door, or in the mailbox. You have to get up early, but.. who cares. I make 100 dollars, a month. I think thats pretty good for me.. since I'm only 14. But yeah, you may not make as much. It depends how big your route is. Also, babysitting is like thee best. You can eat there food. =) What I did.. is went around the neighborhood, & asked if they ever needed a babysitter. I also made flyers & put them at the rec, church, & the grocery store. I got alot of money babysitting. Personally, I think a paper route is better though, its only like an hour of your time, & its only once a week. So yeah. I hope that helped! Bye =) [ holahayley56's advice column | Ask holahayley56 A Question ]
TEENAGExHEARTS answered Friday July 7 2006, 11:51 pm: i'm going to try to help you the BEST i can, since i do a lot of jobs for people in my neighborhood and i just made $120 this week!!! okay well since your 14 a lot of people will feel that you are responsible, and for some reason a lot of families think girls are more responsible and mature.
some jobs you could do are dog sitting while families go on vacation, babysit, mow lawns, water gardens while people are away, and any other odd jobs that people need done. if you hear that someone is going on vacation you can tell them that if they ever need anything done while they are away that you will be willing to help. once you start working for a family then you will get a good reputation with your neightborhood and you will be getting so many job offers!
now for the money. you really shouldn't tell the families how much you want. you should let them decide how much they think you deserve for the job that you have done. most families will probably pay you more then $4.00 an hour (i get about $8.00 an hour for babysitting). and if they ask you how much you want, just tell them whatever they feel is best (they will like your maturing with the situation. they probably won't hire you back if you ask for a price too high).
most families will need babysitting and dog sitting the MOST during the summer. especially dog sitting because many families go on vacation.
DefinedEyes answered Friday July 7 2006, 10:34 pm: Well you cant get really a paying job at age 14, most jobs dont hire until your atleast 16.
But you can walk dogs, cleaning,mowing the lawn,put ads in the paper, or post signs up offering your service with your phone number and what you charge. Just write you want 4 dollars an hour ont he flyer you do, :) that would be cheap for most people. But yeah, or do chores around your house or extra things around thehouse if your parents will pay you to do that?
Have a garage sale, babysit, etc.
:)
emilyy answered Friday July 7 2006, 10:33 pm: You could try putting up posters.
Some jobs are:
- mowing lawns
- doing gardening
- babysitting
- dog walking
- apply at a store (get your parents to help with a resume)
That's only the begining just be creative!
If you feel confident in the price you charge you should write it on your poster. It really depends on the job though. Good luck :) [ emilyy's advice column | Ask emilyy A Question ]
