Earn £30 an hour?

When I tell people about the opportunities to earn money on the internet, a common repponse is: " you spend all that time and effort earning little money - you may as well get a part time job".

This may be true. People do spend ages on sites like Mylot earning the about 30p an hour, far below the minumum wage. But you can earn lots of extra money for minimum effort, and get a good return for your work. "Passive" income programs such as Google adsense and Voxant allow you to earn money without doing any work - apart from setting up and promoting your webpages of course.

On Topcashback, the cashback site, you can earn £1.10 a day for 5 mins work per day. That is £12 an hour, which to me is a fairly good hourly wage. On Cashinco you can also earn £1.50 for about 10 mins work per day - and earn around £10 an hour. Unfortunately, you cannot do 10 hours a day on these cashback sites!

Maybe these amounts of money are not enough for some people to justify devoting some of their precious spare time. But I think it is worth it! I do draw the line at reading emails for 0.001p per minute though!
