Are you retired? or about to?  or wanting to retire?  I bet you have discovered that you lost a big chunk of what you had counted on for retirement when this depression hit.  I for one, sure did.  This economy and my desire to retire forced me to find  alternative methods of income to supplement my Social Security.

Aside from getting at least a part time job (which are harder and harder to find) I decided to check out what might be available on the internet. Of course the majority of things I found were outright scams. You know the ones that promise to make you rich overnite, and that sound like they are too good to be true.
I have however, found a few things to help out. First of all I have found several sites that pay you to take surveys or read email.  You can find examples of these on my page MoneyMakers. You will not get rich fast doing
these, but every little bit adds up and having several sources of income is helpful.

There are also sites like Amazon Mechanical Turk that you may find to your liking. Here’s the link for that  Mechanic Turk

One of my favorite ways to make extra income is through Freebie Trading. You can find links that will tell you all about freebie trading here MoneyMakers
There are several Freebie Trading sites.  The ones I trade on the most are
Free Lunch Room, and Calistyle101,  I really like the tutorials for
new people and all the help you can get on Calistyle101.

In short there is no shortcut to making money online. If you really want to make money on the internet, plan on putting some work into it. The plus is you are at home working when you want to work and if you have found yourself a good mentor and set good ground work you will be able to make the income you need online.
