Well, most articles with this title would just be trying to sell you something, but there are a few legitimate ways to make some spending money online, and I will list just 3 of them.

Paid Surveys: Do not ever trust ANY site that asks you to pay money to take surveys, they are a rip off. There are a few legit paid survey sites, however. Opinion Outpost and Global Test Market are the two best.

Affiliate Marketing: This is where you promote other peoples' products, and if they sell you get a commission. This can be an extremely competitive field, but some people have become very successful with it. The classic affiliate marketing site is Clickbank. By the way, if you do go this route don’t forget to submit articles to this site to help drive traffic to your affiliate storefront!

E-Bay: Sell your old stuff on E-Bay. You might be surprised at just how much money you can make this way!

Give it a shot, and enjoy your new spending money!
