10 Websites to Earn Money Online

I personally checked all of these websites and they are legit and trustworthy if you want to get some extra money in your pocket. However, do not fully rely on these methods to earn money as if it is your regular job. 

The pros':

• You can make extra money just sitting at home in front of your laptop

• It is legit

• You can chose what do you want to work on

• In some cases, you become your own employer

• Also, some websites offering lots of survey where you can earn easy cash

• Extra cash

• You can work any time, any day, month, etc. You pick your own schedule!

The cons':

• The amount of money you can possibly earn is not going to cover your living at the fullest

• This is not a regular full-time job

• Sometimes there is no tasks offering for you

• Usually it takes time to transfer money from the websites to your bank account or PayPal

• Some people may end up working on tasks the entire day and earn only about $5-20 (it varies)

• If you don't have a computer, Internet or any electronic device, this may be a problem because you cannot earn any money

The risks:

• There are usually no risks but be careful not to spend the entire day completing the tasks on those websites. Remember that it is just an extra money and it may not cover your living. So do not rely on it 100%. 

Here are the websites and their descriptions:

Mechanical Turk  is a program run by Amazon where anyone can sign up and complete simple tasks – like to earn a few cents per task. You can earn a few dollars an hour while just sitting on your couch watching television. And with enough focus and effort, you can earn an amount roughly equal to minimum wage. Try it out!

YouTube  allows anyone to post non-explicit videos on pretty much any topic you want. Record any video you wish, edit and upload it. If you enable advertisements on your videos, you can earn money at a rate of about $1 to $3 per 1,000 video views. But in order to make money from your ads, make sure that you are popular enough and you are getting enough views on your videos. The more videos you make, the more views you can accrue, so this option really pays off if you record a lot of videos and build a viewership.

eLance allows people in almost any profession to find freelance work at home in their spare time. I personally work there at my free time. If you have any skills related to editing, typing, writing, blogging, etc. you can find a job there.

Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing allows anyone who has written a book on their own to upload it to Amazon to be sold on Amazon Kindle devices. Let’s say you write a novel and want to sell it. If you upload it here and then promote it online through social media or blogs, you can sell copies of your book and earn as much as a 70 percent return on each sale. It only works with people who can write something interesting and know how to apply the concepts of creative writingJ

Fotolia allows you to sell photos you’ve taken for stock photography usage. For a photography hobbyist, this is a great way to earn a few dollars for some of your best photos.

Swagbucks is perhaps the most popular – and most legitimate – of the online survey sites. Swagbucks pays you a small amount for participating in a consumer survey, which companies then use to figure out what kinds of products to make and sell. I earned roughly $50 dollars for my Amazon account by using Swagbucks, so try it out! It is legit.

Fiverr is a website where you can make $5 doing almost anything. On the site, people upload jobs that they’re willing to do for $5, like writing Facebook posts for companies. Many of the jobs require creative skills such as graphic design or audio editing, but tasks are things you can easily do on the couch in your spare time.

Skillshare is a website where you can teach an online class and get paid for it. You record series of videos on a topic that you know about – popular subjects include crafts, film, fashion and cooking – and then participate on the Skillshare forums related to your class. In exchange, you receive a cut of the money from the people who take your class. No teaching degree is necessary to get started, and the site says teachers can earn an average of $3,500 a year.  

Zirtual is perhaps the most time-consuming, but most rewarding, option. With Zirtual, you sign up to be a Zirtual Assistant to a busy person. The person will send you things to do such as write emails, research a topic and summarize the findings, or personal tasks such as order flowers, manage a personal calendar or write handwritten notes. The starting base pay is $11 an hour, and Zirtual Assistants work weekdays full time.  

Opinion Outpost is perhaps the most popular survey website that pays to its users. Make an account there, participate in surveys and earn points. Sometimes you may not qualify for any particular survey but don’t worry, there are lots of surveys out there. I use Opinion Outpost on my free time and I earned about $100 in a month there.

So here it is, the 10 websites that pay you! Enjoy your free time by making money online!
