Reviewing 11 Ways
On September 12th, I posted 11 Ways to Make Dough Online. Here is my review of those methods.
| Method | Work Involved | Pay-Out | Referrals | Summary |
| Google Adsense |
Sign up, insert a bit of code |
$0.02 | N/A |
Easy to do, not a lot of earnings |
| Ask2Link |
Sign up, insert a bit of code |
$0.00 | Yes - 0 |
Easy to do, not a lot of earnings |
| ViralBlogAds |

$0.00 | Yes - 0 |
Easy to do, not a lot of earnings. Moreover, I have only ever seen blogs advertised. |
| Freebies4Webmasters |
Sign up, insert a bit of code onto 3 different pages |
£10 (approx. $17USD) 3 days after placing the codes! | Yes - 0 |
Easy to do and quick payment. Very fast and easy income! The referral program is pretty great, too! |
| Matched.co.uk | Sign up | $0.00 | Yes - 0 |
I signed up and have been more or less ignored. No real potential here for me. |
| Hits4Pay |
Sign up, receive and read email and online ads |
$11.54 | Yes- 0 |
Simple to do and not terribly time-consuming, but will take a while to earn anything substantial. |
| Isabelmarco |
Sign up, surf ads online |
$0.58 | Yes - 0 |
The only way to earn any amount of money here is through referrals, which may require an investment. Furthermore, they recently announced they will no longer be paying non-plus members, so it will require an investment before creating any income. |
| Opinion Outpost |
Sign up, fill out length profiles, be matched with surveys to earn points redeemable for dough. |
25 points | Yes - 0 |
This requires a lot of time for not a lot of earnings. I’ve taken surveys and then deemed unqualified for them, meaning I earned no points. Also, I qualified for and took a survey for which I received no credits and had to contact the company to have this rectified. Not worth it. |
| MySurvey |
Sign up, fill out lengthy portraits, be matched with surveys to earn points redeemable for bread. |
165 points | Yes - 0 |
See Summary for Opinion Outpost. |
| Survey Savvy |
Sign up, fill out lengthy portraits, be matched with surveys to earn points redeemable for bread. |
0 points | Yes - 0 |
In their defense, I have not filled out any of the portraits to be matched with surveys. |
| InboxDollars |
Sign up, take surveys, read email adverts, play online games (requires paid upgrade) and earn |
$11.73 | Yes - 0 |
This site is fun. While earning is going slow, I’m enjoying myself so it doesn’t seem like work. I’m considering upgrading membership to play for points/dollars. |
In conclusion, it is obvious to me that one cannot make any amount of quick dough from the above sites. Perhaps one might be able to make substantial bread from some of them with, say, a site that generates a lot of traffic (via AdSense) or with an investment (via a site like IsabelMarco).
In my next post, I will discuss ways to make cash online via sites like Pay Per Post, wherein a blogger writes reviews and places links on their blog, usually for a flat rate. Stay tuned!
