Being a crook
There are crooked ways to make money. Apart from the usual criminal activities (!), there are few scams, some more ethical than others.
You could sell information which can be useful, or not so useful, and therefore selling it could be slightly unethical.
You could put an advert in the paper selling a booklet on how to earn £100 per month. Set up a PO Box account, and people send money - £20 for example - to your PO Box account in return for a list of money making ideas and affiliate links similar to the ideas on this blog. Or you could have an online website and ask people for the information via Paypal. Or you could put an ad on Ebay, selling information for a small fee. Ebay did crack down on these "information products" by banning products delivered via email. But there is nothing to stop you sending them via other means.
I recently read about fake clairvoyanyts/astrologers/psychics who send letters to people suggesting horrible things are going to happen and asking for money. Surprisingly these "clairvoyant" scams are run by "commercial companies rather than business-minded individuals" according to the Office of Fair Trading. These companies buy mailing lists of vulnerable people. The Office of Fair Trading states that more than 170,000 people fell victim to clairvoyant scams, losing an average of £240 each. If you are horrible enough to contemplate such a scam, then remeber that the clairvoyant companies are based outside the EU where they cannot be prosecuted by the UK authorities.
I'll stick to more ethical ways of making money.

I've been busy....
Yes, I have committed the cardinal sin of blog ownership: I have not done a new post for a few weeks. I have "been busy".
That busyness has been in part to my moneymaking efforts on the cashback sites, as they have lots of free money for filling in insurance quotes. I have not had time to explore new ways of making 30p a day, and therefore have not had anything to report!
I do want to make sure that my ways of making 30p a day are achievable. I have not just listed 80 ways to make money in the knowledge that 60 of them will not - mainly because I don't have time to attend to them all!

Setbacks....
I had a setback with Mylot. I logged in to see that all my friends, discussion history, referrals and money had disappeared!
I'm not sure why this is, and have contacted Mylot. The good news is that I did not lose much money. Presumably, I can just start again!
Also, I sell some ebooks on Ebay. Yes, I'm one of those crooks! My ebooks are a product that people want and are moderately priced, so I am not "one of those Ebay ebook crooks", if you are wondering. Ebay banned "digital delivery", i.e. selling ebooks and then emailing them to people; so I simply send my ebooks via CD now.
There are setbacks; but they can be overcome, and I did not lose much money, which is the main thing.

Making money from your own websites/blogs
I have a few websites and blogs; some I make some money from, some I have just started so they do not have that much traffic.
I'm not sure how to add these to my list. Should each individual blog/website be part of the list? Or should "making money from blogs/websites" be a general earner which takes one place on my list? Or, I could just mention the ways I make money from the blogs and websites, such as Voxant and Adsense.
I'll have a think and decide how to add them, although at the moment they are represented by earners such as Voxant and Adsense!

Napoleon Hill quotes....
Here are some quotes from the famous (pre-internet!) "money maker" Napoleon Hill, which will hopefully inspire you to continue on your efforts to earn some extra money.
“Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.”
“Don't wait. The time will never be just right.”
“No man ever achieved worth-while success who did not, at one time or other, find himself with at least one foot hanging well over the brink of failure.”

Achieving 80 ways of making money...
My main aim is to find 80 ways of making 30p every day. The difficult thing is to find 80 diffent money making ideas and schemes.
It would be easy for me to just list 80 different money making schemes. Type in "make money online" on Google, and you will see lots of pages listing 101 weird and wonderful ideas for making money; one site I looked at suggested that you could sell your own urine to make money!
So, I try to list things that I actually make some money from. I saw an online article from the Times which listed 10 ways to make cash online for students. Yuwie and Fotolia were mentioned. Yuwie is a social networking site you can make money from. Fotolia pays you for adding photos to their stock - you get paid if someone buys the right to use your photo. These are two prime candidates for inclusion. But, there is the danger I will sign up, add them to my list and forget about them. So I will have a look at them in the next few weeks - but not add them to my list!

A small update
I have been a bit busy lately due to the bumper amount of daily recurring clicks on the cashback sites. This means I have not been able to develop those money making programs outside of my "regulars"!
I do a number of cashback and survey sites. Dooyoo is also a good earner for me. It's easy to scrape £20 a month off Ebay, and Google adsense is one of my few passive earners. I have referred a few people on Mylot so hopefully they will become big users there! So, I have a number of ways of making £9 a month and 30p per day.
It's difficult to develop other ways of making money beause of time contraints, and I lose interest a little if I do not get an immiediate return. But, a money making idea or program should probably be tested over a few months!

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!

Amazon
Amazon associates - the affiliate scheme of Amazon - is a popular way of making money online. I get the impression that it is one of the first programs - along with Adsense - that people use to monetise their website or blog. It's a well known, respected website that many people use, and the affiliate program is very easy to use. You can create targeted ads using specific items and type of product. Amazon has a huge array of different ways to create your ads, from search boxes you can put on your website, and videos, product clouds, deal widgets.....
You earn money when people click on one of your ads and visit the Amazon webpage and buy something.
From what I have read, they are a bit mean with the commission rates.
I have had Amazon on another website I have, and have not earnt anything! I have Amazon.uk on my other website - maybe I should switch to another Amazon country site to promote.
I'll have a tinker with Amazon, and add it to my list of 80. For a a start, I've added a serach widget, which you can see on this blog.

March earnings
Another month - March - has gone already. I have earnt a similar amount to February.
I still have around 25 money making ideas so far! I've added a few more.
I easily achieved my target with the cashback sites. I have eleven on my list, and made over £100 combined on them, meaning that on average I earnt 30p + every day on each one.
I've had a go on Mylot, and earnt about £3 in March.
Again, I earnt about $13 on Google adsense: still near my unambitious target of 30p a day.
Ebay was a good earner and is easily above the £9 a month target.
As for last month, If I take my month's earnings and divide them by 25, then I have earnt around £9 for each one, which is on target! I now need to find more ways of earning £9 a month!
As other people may have found, I have found a few favourites that seem to work and are easy to use. I have dabbled with a few others and found them difficult to use, or have not had the time - or found them to be useless! Because of time constraints and because of "routines and habits" I am concentrating on a few programmes. So, I must try to give a few more programmes more time, and continue to add more schemes to my list. Some passive income money makers would be great......!!

Friend Finder
Friendfinder is a large group which is now owned by Penthouse.
They have a number of dating websites ranging from Friend Finder to Christian dating. They also have some more adult orientated sites - Adult Friend Finder, webcams and soforth.
It's a respectable company and you have a lot of sites to promote. Each site is treated differently, so you will only get paid when you reach the payout amount in one specific niche. If you promote six sites, then they will be treated as six seperate accounts, so it's best to concentrate on one or two programs.
You can be paid per click, a percentage of the money spent by the person you refer, or a specific amount. I always go for the percentage as you will get more money if they spend more in the future.
I'd recommend Friend Finder or one of the other dating sites. It's up to you if you want to delve into the more adult sites!
I'll add this to my list!

Centsports
Here's an interesting new site! Centsports is a US betting site where you can win money but do not lose any!
They give you 10cents to start off with. If you get up to $30 and lose it all, then you can start again and they give you another 10cents. After you have made your bet, you can increase your potential winnings by watching a short ad.
Centsports has an affiliate system - your affiliates are called "cronies"! - and you earn 5% of your affiliate's earnings.
I'll give this one a go - it sounds fun! - and add it to my list. I'll tell you if I have made any money - i.e. at least £9 a month - later on.
Join Centsports and start betting for FREE!
Dooyoo
Dooyoo is a site where people review things. Anything can be reviewed - from chocolate bars to DVD's, from local restaurants to Charles Dickens novels: the choice is yours!
It's a friendly site, and it's quite easy to submit reviews. Other people rate your reviews, and you get paid every time someone leaves a comment on your review.
Payout is £50, which is easily achievable, The payout system was changed recently and you get 50p per review - which has led to some people submitting lots of reviews!
It's similar to Ciao (but a bigger earner I think), and you can paste your Dooyoo reviews onto Ciao.
I can easily make more than £9 on Dooyoo (considerably more in fact!), so I have added this to my list, and suggest you join up,
Make 70p+ every day quickly and cash out at £10 with Cashinco

Review of my earnings so far
"How are you doing so far?" you may ask!
I have around 25 money making ideas so far; another 55 to find!
For the month of February:
I easily achieved my target with the cashback sites. I have eleven on my list, and made over £100 combined on them, meaning that on average I earnt 30p + every day on each one.
I've just started Mylot and have 50c in my account! On Bux.to I earnt a few pence from testing it out, but I have just started this and need to get some referrals.
The Moon real estate idea predictably earnt nothing. I need to be a bit more pro-active on this one!
I earnt 30p in the month of February on Friend Finder - not every day but for the whole month, unfortunately! Perhaps getting my referral link on a website that people look at would help....
Dooyoo was a good earner, especially with the new payment scheme. I earnt £40 + for the month for this. I'll do a post on this in the next few days.
No one joined Winzy using my referral link and won me an Ipod unfortunately.
I earnt about $13 on Google adsense. Not much, but near my unambitious target of 30p a day.
I earnt around £10 from Voxant. Not much, but again a step in the right direction and around 30p a day.
I received a cheque from Global Test Market. The survey sites are quite good. Onepoll offers at least an £7-8 a month. Yougov sends lots of surveys. It's Your View sent £12 of surveys in one day!
I have no idea how to use Squidoo. I have about $1 in my account. Maybe I should make some more lenses and put the link everywhere!
I managed to earn around £60 from Ebay in February, so that is one scheme that is above the £9 a month target.
If I take my month's earnings and divide them by 25, then I have earnt around £9 for each one, which is on target! I now need to find more ways of earning £9 a month!

Mylot
A popular way of making money online is through MyLot. I've heard a lot about Mylot, but never actually knew what it was. Upon joining, I realised it's very similar to Yahoo Answers except you get paid!
I joined and started to respond to a few discussions, and it's actually quite good fun. I'm not sure of the payment system. I responded to a few discussions and had 30cents in my account after 2 days. From reading some blogs it seems you can earn, on average, 50 cents for an hour's work on Mylot. Maybe that time is better spent elsewhere, but the site is quite good fun. You can use Mylot to publicise your websites. I'm not sure what the policy on affiliate links is.
Mylot has a referral scheme where you earn a healthy percentage of your referrals earnings!
I'll test out Mylot over the next month, and I have addded it to my list.

Winzy
Winzy is a search engine which offers you the chance of winning prizes for searching the web.
The prizes include free Ipods, Amazon vouchers and cash.
If you refer a friend and they win a prize, you get one too! So if someone you referred wins an Ipod, you win a free Ipod too!
Personally I still use Google most of the time, and I'm not sure that I could earn £9 a month from Winzy.
But I'll try to invite some friends, and do the odd search and may win something!
There is a Winzy search box on the right of this page if you want to try your luck!

Bux.to
I've decided to do a "paid to click" site, where you get a small amount of money for having a page open for 30 seconds.
I normally hate these types of sites, such as Archerfish, as you have to put a lots of time in just to earn around $0.005 dollars for each click! But I saw bux.to on the Cashinco referrals section; for some reason that suggested that this is more worthwhile than the usual Paid to click site, so I thought I'd give it a go!
With Bux.to, you get 1cent per page viewed, which I think is more generous. Not very, but more generous!
Here is their Earnings Example
» You click 10 ads per day = $0.10
» 20 referrals click 10 ads per day = $2.00
» Your daily earnings = $2.10
» Your weekly earnings = $14.70
» Your monthly earnings = $63.00
The payout is $10.
The trick is to get some referrals!
I'll give this a go - I will have to get some referrals to make my 30p per day - and will add it to my list!

Review of the month's money earnt...
I do plan to have a monthly review of the money I have earnt each month. I will do this at the start of March...
Bizarre ways to make money
Apparently, someone placed a picture of a rabbit on a website stating that they would eat this rabbit if they did not receive a specific amount. People paid monney via Paypal to make sure this person did not. The website owner had no intention of eating the rabbit - it was just a picture of a rabbit and there was no real rabbit to be eaten!
This is an unpalatable way of making money; maybe many of the donations came from people who were aware that it was a joke, but gave him some money to reward him for thinking up a new money making idea.
What this proves is that There are many ways of making a little bit of money. If you have any money money making ideas that do not cost much - either in time or money - then have a go!
