Well if your talking about graphic design you can always do commissions and request from people.

And I'm sure someone is willing to pay to have something translated for them. As for the other things I don't know.

But yeah there are ways to make money on the internet just becareful with what you do and make sure no one rips you off.

Plus the pay isn't exactly the greatest because it all depends on how much people are willing to pay.

EDIT: Plus there are sites like Patreon that if you have a dedicated fanbase or if people want to support your work then people can pledge to give you X amount of money every month or so. But that usually only works if you are a dedicated developer/artist or have a long running series.

I know for surveys, you have to actually qualify just to take a survey. To qualify for the survey, you have to take a survey -_-.
Once you take the survey you might get up to twenty dollars, but most surveys only give you like 1-5 dollars. In order to actually make money, you have to take a lot of surveys. It's tedious.

You can make quite a lot of money by selling runescape gold/items.

Yeah, I'm a freelance Web Developer. I be making around 2k per month from it. I'm also working on a website that should pull in at least 10k views per day. I will make about 4k per month from advertising on that site.

To be honest,I was trying with some websites that give rewards and surveys,but its minimum to cash out was 1000 dollars when I got them on the website they needed money from my credit card to cash out,I felt the whole thing was a scam.

and another website that felt real but I spent a month and didn't earn one dollar,so I stopped searching.
this summer I began to think about the idea again and started searching,I found a website that pays for website testing but my application isn't complete yet so I still don't know about it.

I sell runescape accounts with Rare weapons and 99 in most of the skills..... Dungeoneering is always max.... Well I used to back when RSbot used to work. After that I just use a new account I created the other day. Takes too much time

With surveys I remember my stepsister did them and she got some money but not a whole lot and eventually stopped.


For most countries you should be able to receive money because Google pays you based on the amount of watch time each one of your Videos has and you have to be partnered with them meaning you already need a fan base to earn money off of youtube.

I'd say your instincts were probably pretty accurate, there.

There are some surveys that pay out, but I'm not sure they are really worth it, and I'd be sure to look up how that is supposed to work on websites that tend to keep a pretty clean nose on their reporting - like Forbes and other such places that handle business, finance, etc.

and another website that felt real but I spent a month and didn't earn one dollar,so I stopped searching.

Paid beta testing does exist, but the pay is anywhere from good to horrible. I'd be sure to read up on how most legitimate firms do their hiring and selection process.

You may be more interested in trying to find groups that do like at-home call centers and other stuff like that. It sounds, perhaps, a bit more like what you are looking for. You receive customer service calls, customer service chats, etc that you field for the company that pays you as if you were an employee.

Other positions like that I've heard about are involved in data entry and stuff like that.

You could also look at various gaming sites that are looking for community managers or paid forum administrators. There aren't necessarily a lot of openings and demand for that sort of thing - but one of the girls who recently took over being a community manager on a game I play from time to time comes from being a community manager for a kid's web-app related game.

You Tube's pay system is not bad...

When you upload a video and have your account configured correctly, you can set that video to generate advertisement revenue. However, if a company makes a DMCA claim against your video, then you do not get the advertisement revenue (that company gets it).

This isn't a problem if you are not using any material that is potentially copyrighted, but people who have game review channels on Youtube have been struggling with that one for quite some time. So if you want to make music videos or something like that, you will probably not be able to.

Which is why most people who use that system and make much of anything off of it do some sort of a show out of it - they show off a craft skill, or try to make instructional videos or educational stuff.

As far as I know, any country that can upload to youtube can be paid by it. You might even be able to VPN into Youtube to upload and still get paid... but that's anyone's guess as to whether or not getting paid by youtube is considered grounds for illegal behavior (using a VPN to bypass national firewalls is certainly illegal, but realistically next to impossible to enforce).

Here is a website that talks some about it... I haven't fully vetted it, but it seems to explain the general idea:



This is YouTube's own page about it:
