Well, I found that the freebie site method of making money is good, but not effective over long periods of time. I've been researching different ways make money and I must say I've come full circle.
When I first started trying to "realize" the potential of making money online, I found two "big" ways to do so. eBay, which proved to be difficult because dropshipper's prices generally don't allow for any profit on the seller's part. The only way that works is to find a wholesaler that sells products "by the pallet" and drop at least a few grand on some products. Most people don't have the money to buy that much product on "prespective' sales.
The other way is affiliate marketing. When I tried this, i wasted about $500 on adwords because I was inexperienced. This frustrated me, so I let it go and kept searching.
I have now found MUCH less expensive means of promoting, and I've even written an ebook which I'm am about to start selling.
More to come as things develop!!!

Can you REALLY make Extra Money online?
Yes, of course, People make money online everyday. But it costs money to make money and if you don't know what you are doing, you will probably spend way more then you make until you find the "right" advertising strategy.
If you just want to make some extra cash, I have found that the best way to do so working from home on the Internet, is to use freebie sites, which is a growing phenomenon. As long as I can remember being able to surf the Internet, I've seen those pop up and banner ads that ask you a ridiculous questions like:
"Whose butt is this?"
A. J-Lo
B. Cameron Dias
C. Lindsey Lohan.
And if you "answer correctly" you win a free iPod or Xbox or whatever. Then you get to the site and they want you to complete a "free trial offer" of half a dozen things before you get your "free gift" These are not the type of sites that will provide you with any consistent form of extra cash.
The sites I’m referring to you have to register as a member with (always free) and the trial offers are organized and straight forward with all the important information. This includes, the price of the trail, if any, the payout for completing the trial, and the requirements you must fulfill to get credit for completing the trial. More often then not the payout is more then the cost, but not always. You should know all this with out even going to the offering company’s website.
When you decide to complete an order, make sure you know what the parameters of the trial period are, including the length of the trial and the cost of the service after the trial ends. This way you can avoid any billing surprises and cancel, if you don’t like the service, with in the specified amount of time.
It is also very important to make sure you’re browser settings are correct to receive credit for offers (usually this means enabling all cookies). Also understand the freebie site’s rules and procedure for cashing out.
Another way to make money from these sites is through referrals. Most freebie sites pay you around $40 for each “green” referral. A green referral is someone that has registered at the site and has completed at least one offer.
You certainly won’t “get rich quick” or be able to “fire your boss” participating in freebie sites, but you will be able to make some extra cash part time doing something easy and fun.

NOW IT'S YOUR TURN...
Please feel free to post your own experiences with freebie sites as well as share with others the ones you find to work the best.
