Nobody was biting. Lists a bit out of date, did you make it up yourself?

You another one of the pretenders?

Valued opinion, on the contrary it probably is outdated in terms of what is possible in the current digital landscape.

But a list is only useful to those who find value in it.

And pretending? To provide value for people who may or may not otherwise had the chance to find such information?

All the best

For all us long-term money shedders, yes a lot of this information is known to us and yes a lot of it no longer yields the rewards it once did, I'm looking at you swagbucks, lol! TBF I think OP is just trying to share information and start a useful discussion, none of his links are affiliate links. I think it's true that money can still be made online but gone are the days that you can make anything decent by just clicking or answering questions although prolific is still a good bet. You often have to be far more creative or alternatively do something that feels very much like a job!

Just realised I still have swagbucks in my signature, deleted now!

Survey/small task sites take forever to pay out, and pay peanuts - if someone's got limited time and an urgent need to earn extra, they're a shocking timewaste. And as others have said, the list is rather out of date too, although in fairness, the sites themselves are coy about updates.

For the most part, people here are wise to what 'no skill' platforms are available, and how lucrative they are. When I've done some essential January/February paperwork, I'm going to put together a few posts about making the freelance sites work. Admittedly, I'm not working on them as much as I once did as I've had other responsibilities which have needed my time, but there are very few people who don't have a lucrative skill they can sell.

I'm not having a pop, but very few people here are at their first rodeo when it comes to making money online.

Apologies

This was my first post to the community.

I had constructed a table with as many tools possible over the years and thought it might be of some use to the community in some form or another.

That being said, you are absolutely correct with the fact that my aim was just to start conversation as the newbie here.

Having a look around and getting a feel for the type of interactions between members.

Im sure many of you have your own proven strategies and methods that work for you and I think that's great

I'm currently documenting all the new ways to make money given the huge change in the digital universe and the rapid evolution of technology.

Hopefully next time I post the information will be more use than not but I appreciate taking the time to reply and voice any opinion never the less.

I'm finding I can make a bit of pocket money to pay for domains etc. but that's about it really. If I want to make more I have to venture into marketing coaching or go creative and do the cartooning. I have a few apps I use to play games and make money, but realistically the time it takes to win the rewards doesn't really make it worth it.

I think even the marketing coaching at present is becoming rapidly oversaturated.

Don't get me wrong it's a lucrative market for sure but to collect data, I purposely find instagram accounts offering marketing coaching and growth and I have to say that in a short time of documenting this.

On average from my searches I see 150-250 accounts being created daily. And my searches are limited to specific keywords and the obvious algorithm limitations.

I suspect it's going to take something major to be able to prove what makes a coach standout above the others and that's just Instagram, between Twitter, Facebook and linkedin.

The competition size would be huge.

No issues from me, I'm happy to hear any opinion/critism.

I'm still finding my feet here.

And it's responses like this that can better provide me with how I can provide value to the community so thank you.

I was referring to the fact that some of those survey sites do not exist anymore, some are for people in the US,

So my pretending... "pretending to be an expert in making money online" but only actually an "expert in talking about making money online"?

Apologies

I felt the response seemed to scrutinise a bit to much.

That being said, I wouldn't class myself as an expert or believe I'm portraying something I'm not.

I genuinely have a major interest in making money online to the point I document loads of random data around it, often finding that I tangent off into some unnecessary rabbit holes for no apparent reason haha.

My first post (this thread) was a little weak in relevent content but to start engaging I wasn't too sure the type or reaction or level of expertise everyone else had so just sort of went in with a happy medium.

I'm sure I'll get a feel for the structure the more I engage.

Yes my response did scrutinise. And I am not known for diplomacy or tact. So here's some advice, before creating a website and attempting to project yourself as a money-making influencer (or entrepreneurial mindset entrepreneur), it might be worth learning the basics first...
