What i would like to know is that if anyone knows of any ways of earning extra money on the internet doing tedious small tasks. What i mean by this is you used to be able to, might still, do simple cheap jobs like getting sent envelopes, sealing them, and then sending them back to the sender and you'd like say £10 per 100 letters, but what i want is for something similiar but online. I am 18 years old in a few days and know how to use a computer very well. I can't do scripting type work but most other things, e.g. using access, spreadsheet, most not easy, but simplish tasks i can do.

you know of anywebsites or places i can do work to earn a little extra pocket money? thanks in advance
 
Send me £500 (Paypal pref) and I'll send you my guide to making money on the web with no effort whatsoever.
 
You can always exploit people on eBay.

For example, order a load of those Lynx Clicker things, and sell them on for 2000% profit :D
 
buy and sell on ebay tbh, if you have some skill with fixing things eg broken phones then do that, i had a good stint buying broken phones, fixing them and selling them on, made a good few k over a year but packed it in eventually
 
wow, your relpies really haven't helped me at all.

I do have a real job in the evenings, i am a cleaner and earn £7 per hour wokring 2 and a half hours every weeknight, however the money earn't doesn't cover al my cost, e..g paying off this computer, paying for driving lessons, paying for rent, paying for car, paying for insurance of car, going out with my girlfriend, paying for phone bill, it all adds up and any extra cash, although small, will help me.

I have free time after work whilst talking to gf on msn so i thought i could try multitasking, although i here us guys suck at this from an advert, and earn extra cash doing simple task.

So no one with any ideas?
 
There are the usual webhosting/web design type things, but you'd better be good at it, as the 'net is literally swamped with wannabe's who think it's all so easy and they know it all.

The eBay suggestions above aren't as silly as they seem either. It is possible to generate a living that way, but it's most definitely a full-time job and most who try, fail.

Neither are get-rich-quick schemes. You'll have to work hard. Remember the old adage - if it looks too good to be true, it usually is.

Only 2 and a half hours?!?! Are you still in education?

I think the first responder to your post said it all. 99% are scams.

If that doesn't tickle your fancy then your best option is to buy and sell on ebay. Gradually work your way up from low cost products into something like camera equipment where you can make quite a lot of money for minimal effort.
 
Ages old now but I heard Ciao used to be alright. Get paid for doing surveys online. Anything from £1.50 to £10.00 a pop.
 
Dear MR. YACINE MOMBASOU III,

I accept your generous offer. However, as a gesture of goodwill and proof of your sincerity in this matter, I request you to send me a photograph of yourself holding a piece of paper showing your full name and postal address.



The fact that the FBI will shortly be able to track you down is mere coincidence and shall have no bearing on this transaction.
