10th In Series: How To Get Paid Taking Surveys And Other Creative Online Jobs

Being a parent during the worst recession since The Great Depression is terrifying. Constantly worrying about money is a hellish ordeal. So many workers have been laid off, lost their homes or have had their hours cut down. Many of us who once had great jobs are now struggling to just keep our gas, electric and water on. We've downgraded housing and cars just to stay afloat. Things that were once sources of pride, like boats, ATV's and big screen televisions simply don't matter anymore, or have become sources of stress for us. Losing our security has certainly changed our collective perspectives.

Money gurus like Dave Ramsey are more in demand than ever before. It's now more important to get out of debt and save up to six months worth of expenses than it has been in 80 years! But how can we do this when we are struggling to just get by? Sometimes it angers us when we hear we need to pay off our bills and get out of debt. We already know this! It just stresses us out more when it is mentioned over and over again. For most people, there doesn't seem to be a way to do this. But there are ways to do it. Have hope!

The best way to save money and get out of debt is, obviously, to make more money. How can you make more money? You can change jobs or find a job if you don't have one now. This is very difficult to do with today's job market. If this doesn't sound feasible to you, then try finding some supplemental income. http://www.getpaidtotry.com/ is one of several websites that give people the opportunity to get paid for online surveys. Paid online surveys are a great way to make an extra $20 to $30 per day in about an hour and a half. This website can also help you find ways to get paid to read emails. Other ideas for supplemental income are:

1)Commenting on new forums. Owners will pay you to post in them. Once you find one job doing this, it is a lot easier to build up a steady clientele.
2)Commenting on blogs is nearly the same thing as commenting on forums. These jobs can be found on websites such as oDesk and Elance. Many companies will pay about $.75 per post once you have built a reputation for yourself. With experience and a steady clientele, you can make about $30 per hour.
3)Learn how to do html coding. There are hundreds of companies in America that hire coders to do freelance work every single day. Html coding takes about a day to learn, and can benefit you for a lifetime. Some coders that are experienced and have built a good name make up to $100 per hour! Rentacoder's website is a great place to find work for html coders.
4)Manually submit websites to directories. This is boring work but it pays up to $5 per submission to about 20 directories.
