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!

Cashback sites

There are a number of cashback sites in the UK (and abroad I believe) where it is easy to earn at least 30p a day.

These cashback sites pay you a percentage back of any purchases you make through their site. For example, if you bought a computer from Misco, you would get around 3% of the cost of the computer paid into your account. If you bought some form of insurance - such as car or household - you would get £20 plus paid into your account.

These sites also offer one-off money for signing up to newsletters and registering on websites. For example, ordering a brochure from a company selling windows could earn you £1.50. You can do recurring clicks which entails searching for a product on a site such as Kelkoo and clicking through to a retailer to earn a reward such as 5p.

Without spending anything and doing the recurring clicks, you can earn 20-30p + a day on each cashback site. You can also get a bonus from any one-off offers. And if you you want to purchase anything online via a cashback website, you can earn some extra money.

You receive a sign up bonus on many of the sites - they range from £1.50 to £10. You can cash out your money when you have earnt a certain amount: payout levels range from 1p (!) to £30.

These cashback sites are not as lucrative as few years ago when you could earn around £3 a day in recurring clicks on many of them. I think they have become more well known with reports in the media advising you to buy insurance etc. through these cashback sites; and more and more people wanting to earn some money at home have joined these sites meaning that the affilites can pay less money for clicks in their campaigns.

But they are still worth doing, and provide at least ten of my 30p a day opportunities.

Here are the ones I currently use. Others are available, but some have hardly any recurring clicks.
