Show me the money!
               
This is a list of links to sites I have found that offer you some small compensation for performing this task or the other. The task can be as simple as clicking a link or as involved as taking a ten minute survey. Some of these links offer you the potential to make several hundred dollars. All of them offer you the potential to make enough for a babysitter once per month. I have personally tried all of these.                
                 

               
Chief Mommy Owl's Top Pick - NFO                
               
I really like the ant in this picture. This site rewards you points for completing surveys. You can use the points to either enter raffles, get prizes or if you're like me, you want the cold, hard cash. The surveys are not long and are usually pretty interesting to take. In addition, did I mention the GREAT referral bonus. You can make ten bucks on this site without even trying. It's free to join, so give it a try!                

               
Paid to Read E-mail or view links                
If you are like me you get a million pieces of mail into your inbox every single day. Why not get paid to read it? Listed below are several sites that will pay you anywhere from part of a penny to fifty cents to look at ads. You aren't going to get rich, but you may earn a little pocket money. I would recommend opening a free Yahoo or Hotmail account to send the e-mail too. This makes it much quicker to go through the e-mail daily. Disclaimer: I am in no way responsible for any good or bad that comes about from you subscribing to one of these programs. They are free though.                
Linkburst! - These people don't send regular emails. You go to their site and you click on a bunch of links. There are three good things about this site. First, the links are pretty good reading. Second, your email box doesn't get filled up. Lastly, these people will pay you every month with no minimum, no matter how little you've made. One month they deposited a penny into my paypal account. Instant gratification!                
Cashread - This is another paid to read email deal. Get it - cash read. What I like about them is that they do send a fair amount of email. Also, at the top of each email they will tell you how much you can potentially earn. That way you can decide if it is worth your time or not.                
www.IncentiveMails.com - This one is more of the same. They send out a fair amount of email and they pay pretty good. What I like about them is that they tell you at the top of the email how many paid ads are inside so you don't accidentally click on ten things you don't get paid for.                
                 
Paid Surveys                
Get paid for my opinion? All these years I have been just giving it away for free. If I had only known. Listed below are some companies who will send you invitations to come and take surveys at their websites. Usually they will pay you between one and ten dollars for a short survey. Not bad for a few minutes work. All of these sites are free to sign up. NEVER pay to sign up with one of these services that promises you lots of money answering surveys. Scammaroo!                
American Consumer Opinion - This is a nice site to look at. They have contacted me about once a month to take a short qualifying survey. You don't get paid for these, but you usually get entered into a drawing for taking them. If you qualify, sometimes they will let you participate in a product test. One product trial gave us free toothpaste for a month!                
Greenfield Online - This is a great site which will send you a lot of notices for surveys. If you answer immediately, you can usually make at least a dollar. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I can always use an extra ten bucks a month.
