The easiest way to make money online is by using Amazon Mechanical Turk (aka Mturk). The way Mturk works is that companies pay Mturk users small amounts of money to complete small tasks (called HITs). For example, one HIT available at the time of this writing is a company paying people $0.07 to quickly Google apparel companies and submit to Mturk what type of clothing they sell. They give you the name and phone of the company; all you need to do is Google it. Now seven cents may not seem like much, but it adds up fast! Think of how many quick Google searches you can do in a few minutes and imagine getting paid for each search.
Perhaps the best reason to give Mechanical Turk a try is because they have the fastest and most reliable payment system of any company offering money online. Plus, there is no minimum payout. Let's say you tried the apparel HIT and earned $1.00 before deciding that it wasn't for you. You can then request that Amazon electronically deposit your earnings into your bank account, or you can put the $1.00 towards a future Amazon purchase. Keep in mind that it may take a few days the banks to transfer and receive your money, but it certainly beats waiting a few weeks for a check in the mail.
