There are many ways to earn extra money on the internet. Read on to find out more about making money completing free trials, taking surveys, having discussions on forums and blogging.

Complete Free Trials
There are online companies that pay members to sign up for new internet programs or complete free trials. As a member you will be given access to a database of programs to try and you can earn from a $.25 to $25+ depending on how much personal information is required. These sites are usually more geared towards United States residents but non U.S. members can earn money by referring new members to the site. Paid-to-sign-up companies usually pay a percentage of referral earnings to referrals. You can earn up to $100+ extra a month by completing free trials.

Take Surveys
There are also online companies or market research companies that are willing to pay for your opinion on various things such as TV programs, commercials, food, cars and generally products you use. There seem to new paid survey scams popping up lately so here's what you should know. Real survey sites will not ask you to complete free trials in order to complete a survey. Questions will be pretty straight forward. It's always a good idea to research a company before participating. Type in the name of the company and 'scam' in you favorite search engine to see if there are any bad things being discussed about them.

Post on Forums
Forum posting companies help forum owners populate their new forums. They hire people on a regular basis and generally require that you know how to speak English and have decent writing skills. New members usually have to post on the company's own forum as part of the application process. Pay is usually 10 cents and up per post (of at least 20 words). There are also regular message boards where members earn points (which can be converted to cash) just for participating.

Earn By Blogging
You can earn a good amount of money by starting your own blog or joining a blog network. A blog is a journal of regularly updated informative content. If you want to start your own blog, you'll have to come up with an idea you know a lot about and decide if you'll get your own domain and hosting or use a free blog host. Once you get your blog together you'll have to promote it by submitting it to blog directories, social bookmarking sites and more. It takes work and time to get to the point of making a lot of money with your blog but there are various ways to monetize a blog. After your blog has been up for three months you can join a paid to blog company and earn money reviewing products and services on your blog. You can also make money with affiliate programs and text adverts.

If you're not ready for the responsibilities of having your own blog, you can join a blog network. They will be responsible for paying the domain and hosting fees for your blog as well as getting people to visit it. Your main responsibility would be to blog on your topic of expertise five to ten times a week. Blog networks usually pay a flat rate each month and/or pay bloggers a percentage of revenue earned by the blog. Blogging jobs can be found on the blog network's site or blogging job boards.
