We’ve all seen them:  those sites that promise you free computers, video games or Paypal cards for completing “offers”.  Some of them are scams but many of them are the real deal and can give you some bucks when you need extra cash.  Zeropricetags.com is a reputable “freebie” site that really works.  You can get a “free” gift by completing 2-3 offers yourself, usually for things like Blockbuster Online, Free Credit Reports and wrinkle-cream type products.  Then, you need to get a few people to do the same thing under your referral code.  Now, as I’ve said before I’m not a big fan of hitting up my friends to sign up under me.  If you’re not either, here’s a thought:  pay them to sign up under you.  Give them each $20 or so to sign up under you.  The free gift you’ll get from zeropricetags.com will definitely be worth more than the $60 or so that you give away to your friends.  It’s an easy way to make about $60 or so after you pay your friends.  Meanwhile, your friends don’t feel like Amway-type targets, because you’re paying them and not asking them to do it for free.

Again, be careful on which “freebie” site you use–some of them are scams.  But, zeropricetags.com is definitely legit.

Ok…so maybe your not the world’s best writer.  Maybe you don’t have much interest in becoming an internet blogger.  But that’s ok, you can still make free money online by putting your keyboard to use for just a short amount of time.  You don’t need to have a degree in journalism to be able to write content that will make you make you some bucks anytime you need extra cash.

Here’s where to start.  First, think of a few things you know something about like a hobby, an occupation or a sport.  It’s always better to write about what you know.  It’s more fun that way and easier to get motivated.   Once you’ve narrowed down a few topics you want to write about–go ahead and write about 350 words on the topic.  This “article” can be just facts, tips or your opinion on a matter.  Once that’s done you can start making some money by posting it to your own blog (don’t let that word scare you–it’s free and easy to set up) on sites like Squidoo or About.com.  They’ll pay you as people come to your article and click on the advertisements.  You won’t get rich quick doing this but it can definitely bring you in a little extra cash.

If you want to go a different route and write on demand, go ahead and pimp yourself out as an article writer on Digital Point Forum.  Website owners hire writers from Digital Point to write all kinds of articles and web content for their sites.  One well written article will usually get you about $8 a pop.  If you’re really ambitious you can offer ten articles for $75 or so.   This will gaurantee you a more sizeable stash of cash.  Usually, if you’re good, you’ll get a good reputation on DP and the work will start flowing in.  But, be careful!  The orders for articles can start piling up and you can find writing turn into a full-time “part-time” job if you’re not careful.  Good Luck!
