There is a saying that goes ‘only fools and horses work’, but unless you have a winning lottery ticket, you will probably be working until you can collect a pension and possibly after that too. There are some people who are born in to money, but most of us will need to make a living some other way. Thankfully, the internet has given us all the ability to make money without really having a ‘job’. We still need to complete certain tasks to make money, but it would be hard to call a task a job if it involves doing something you enjoy.

When I first got the Internet back in 2006 I have to admit I lost some money.  The websites back then were full of get rich quick schemes and I fell for a few hook, line and sinker. Those types of sites still exist but I have learnt the hard way when it comes to making money quickly. If it sounds like a great deal and possibly far too good to be true you should avoid it.  You’ll end up out of pocket and feeling like a mug.

That being said as I have become more Internet savvy over the years I have actually found a few ways to make money online.  I am not talking about thousands here, just odds and ends which can help you to afford the odd luxury here and there. Perhaps a nice new haircut, those shoes you’ve been after or money towards your holiday.  Every little helps right? If you are keen to learn a few tricks of the trade here is how I have managed to turn the time I spend on the Internet into some extra cash and had fun at the same time.
