| You dream of working online from the comfort of your home; at your
own time. But a search for work opportunities reveals hard-to-believe offers
like 'Turn your Home Computer into a Cash Machine!' or 'Guaranteed Income - You
have nothing to lose!'
They come to your inbox, or as pop-up and banner ads on Web sites and paint a
marvelous picture of a 'proven internet business plan' that can make you rich
without any experience or skills.
What you often end up doing is paying for an e-book with 'foolproof online work
ideas' which range from creating a site to hosting zillions of banners,
multilevel marketing schemes and online 'order processing' to sending emails
using a database you have to purchase.
But not everything online is a scam: There are feasible options for making some
money online. And we're not talking about earning $0.05 dollars to read ads or
email!
Knowledge or information based services that require you to use your experience
or skills are a good way to make money. Some sites hire your services for their
clients; others put you in touch with people who need your services.
Online research is emerging as a good opportunity. If you've used search
engines to look for specific information, you'd know how tiresome it is to sift
through the junk before you arrive at what you want.
Services like Google Answers
save surfers the hassle of searching themselves. Surfers post queries on
computing, shopping, entertainment or food, and Google's team of online
researchers get cracking on the information requested. You can set the price
for your answer on the basis of the work involved. Three-fourths of the price
goes to the researchers. Responses are rated by the people who request the
information, while registered users offer comments.
