I have tried several survey sites and free bucks site is the only survey site I personally prefer. you receive $ 0.50 just for signing up and you can cash out at any time and receive your earnings within 30 minutes once you have accumulated a minimum of $0.50 or more. I recommend this website to anyone that’s looking to earn extra money online. just use the below link to sign up

I’m getting a security warning on the youdata site. I could override it, but I don’t think it’s worth it. Just wanted to warn others out there that there could be a problem there.

Of course there is eBay! But, you don’t have to sell a product. You can offer services like consulting, graphic design, virtual assistant services, artistic services…the opportunities are endless.

And you’ll notice that I write for ehow like another commenter, and it does pay well.

For those of you who have tried cash4books without success, try putting your books in at BookScouter.com. It checks about 30 different book-buying websites (including Cash4Books) to see which are buying your book, and how much each one is paying.

My hubby & I save our change throughout the year. We went to our bank the other day (which offers free coin counting for members) and we came up with $103 in change! So awesome! We may even try it as a fundraising idea for our church.

My best friend’s mother-in-law always uses cash & saves ALL her change – a few years ago she was able to purchase a new stove with the money she saved that year.

I agree that Cafepres is a good site to raise money. It’s mostly lots of fun, but they’ve got great quality, and you don’t have to do anything but design the products. They take care of the rest. I’ve used them to self-publish a sewing book I wrote and to market my ideas for homemaking t-shirts:

And If you like to write and have some articles, Associate Press is also a great way to make a little quick money. So far, it’s the biggest online money maker I’ve tried, by far. One caution though… you can republish your articles if you submit them as non-exclusive, but you can’t get upfront payment if you’ve published before submitting to them. So if your articles do double duty on your blog, you’ll want to keep that in mind when writing for them:

I love the CoinStar idea – I’m definitely going to do that! I have $32 in change so far…

Also, if you have prescriptions, you can easily transfer them to other pharmacies for gift cards (where you can often buy all sorts of other gift cards).

Don’t forget these are great sites where you can trade in your dvds, books, cds ….. and get others for free. I use all of them to weed out my stash of books I don’t want and then get new ones for the price shipping. I wrote about my three favorite ones on my blog

Thank you so much for the Youdata information. I spent 30 minutes and got $6.22! It started off with only $2 worth until I filled out the surveys (so don’t forget to do that!) I tried the Cash4Books and didn’t have much they wanted either. I’m very pleased with all these great ideas though! Keep them coming everyone!!

What great ideas! I’m already at $6.11 on Youdata. Keep the ideas coming.

I tired out books4cash and after trying about 30 ISBN’s I only had 1 that they would buy – and they only offered $1.71. I guess you have to have the kind of books they want!

I used to deliver pizza for a living, so that Coinstar machine was my best friend after a 10 hour shift.

We’re making most of our gifts…one idea is a leaf candle, which I listed the instructions to on my blog–really beautiful.

We tore down an old barn recently and my husband is making beautiful barn-wood frames for all our family (with a picture of us)…

Next week we are going around to local businesses (where lots of women work) with samples of sweet potato pies. We will take orders and deliver the pies for Thanksgiving (the day before). We made several hundred dollars like this one year.
