Well, I've taken my first step. I've signed up with InboxDollars. This is not exactly getting paid to blog, but I am getting paid to take surveys, read emails and to buy things online that I would have anyway. It is not much, but it is something.
So far I've been signed up for only a few days but have made over $12.00 for just a little bit of my time, a majority of it doing things that I would be doing anyway.
If you are interested in checking it out click on the InboxDollars box on my sidebar or the one below in this post. (And yes, I do get a bit of money for referrals as well - and this month there is a sweepstakes for a Wii or a digital camera related to referrals!)
If you do this I would suggest setting up a separate email for these things. I have an email account with yahoo that I was never using before, so I set it up and that is the email I use for these things. It keeps my personal email from getting to cluttered.
As I continue with this and hopefully add some other ways of making a bit of extra cash online, I'll keep you updated on how I like it and how I'm doing.
