Ways to Earn Some Extra Christmas Money Online

Though it's still a long ways off, Christmas will be beating down your door before you even realize it. Time goes fast especially as we age. Remember when you were a kid? Christmas took FOREVER to get here, as an adult, it seems to come and go in the blink of an eye. As you've probably also noticed, the economy isn't doing so hot and all of the coolest toys and game systems your family is going to ask you for seem to be between the $200 and $400 range.

Nobody wants to disappoint their loved ones around the holidays so it's worth your time to check out the top 5 ways to earn some extra Christmas money online. These don't require you to pay for anything and have been thoroughly investigated by myself to guarantee you will make a few bucks with them.

NUMBER 3

Start a Blog on Orble. Orble is a highly populated blogging site based in Australia that shares advertising revenue with you. It's a 50/50 split which isn't as good as some other sites but the community is very friendly and the blogging software is very easy to use. This site is perfect for people of all ages. All you do is go to http://www.orble.com and sign up. If you want me to help you out personally, send me a PM and I'll give you my email to put in the Mentor's Email section you'll see. I don't get anything out of it but can offer some tips if you like. Pick a good name for your blog and blog about whatever you are most interested in. Some of the more controversial blogs make a lot of money but a good informational blog about your love of cross stitching will do just fine as well! I make $100 every couple of months on Orble and Google sends you a check when you reach that amount. Getting a check from Google gives you a really good feeling!

Number 2

Survey Sites! Yes you heard me. Survey sites are some of the first "money making" opportunities people come across online. I won't lie to you. Most of them are crap. Don't even bother with most of them. The ones I've found that are pretty cool are Hyperspeed, Zoompanel, and Lightspeed. I gave up on the first two but my wife loves them. I do a few Lightspeed Panel surveys each week and they award Lightspeed points which can be redeemed for gifts and cash directly to your Paypal account. I'm not going to include links for these but Google should help you find them right away. If you do one survey for each one, each day, after a few months, you'll have enough points to get something very cool like $50 gift cards for Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and everything else you can think of. Don't overlook the surveys! They are easy to do and sometimes fairly interesting.

Number 1

Write for Associated Content and use your rejected articles! I know you are reading this here already but kick it into gear. I admit laziness and don't publish a lot on here. If you were to submit 15 articles per month and have 1/2 of those pay you $4.00, that's an extra $28!! Don't forget about page views also. If your articles get declined for payment and you know they aren't garbage, stick them on DailyArticle.com. I've had good luck with them over the past year and they accept anything. You simply name your price, upload your article and wait. Maybe it'll sell, maybe it won't.

I could easily make this a 100 page list but I wanted to stick with the easiest methods that will appeal to everyone. If you want to find more listings of work at home stuff, visit sites like Online Work Resources or WAHM.com. They have more detailed stuff available but some of it will require specific skills or more free time than these 3.

Good luck and make this Christmas and each one after it the best they can be!
