I hear good things about a company called Cash Crate who pull together surveys, offers and other stuff through their website and you get paid to complete their offers.
Their website at http://www.cashcrate.com/ says that companies are paying top-dollar to have users try their products and services for free. Cash crate pull together all these type of companies and pay you 75% of the referral fees.
I have just signed up myself to see what it’s all about. It’s free to join and so far, in my account there are a list of surveys which I can fill in to make money on my account.. see below:

Ok, you don’t get much for filling in each survey but you it is free and easy money. I have filled in a few surveys and they don’t take too long to get through… there were a few which just required an email address.
There are also discounts if you buy online in places like iTunes, Disney Store, Reebok, Wallmart etc.
I can’t see where I can try products for free but I guess those ones get snapped up extremely quickly… from other forums, things are added all the time so you have to check back on it quite frequently to ensure you get the best deals. Anyway, I think it’s worth a try, I’ve signed up and give you an update how I got on especially as I am seeing a lot of people reporting earnings over $1000 a month!
Anyway, some sites which have shown Cash Crate in a positive light and even have pictures of the cheques they have received:

I’ve been signed up with CashCrate for a few months now, and have enjoyed every check they’ve sent me (although they’re not that big!). I imagine you’d need a lot of referrals to make $1000/month, but it’s worth a shot.
One thing I can’t help but mention is that there is sort of a tao of working the CashCrate system to make the most in the least amount of time. (I wrote an article on hacking cashcrate, and if you follow my sig you’ll see it. )
It’s been a solid way to make money for me, although the dollar per hour spent is sometimes pretty weak - weak enough for me to almost want to get a real job.
Another thing I’ve looked into, but never done is “Bonus whoring” - you basically take advantage of online casino sign-up bonuses where they match a deposit of $100 with another $100 provided you play enough hands, knowing that you’ll win about 48% of the time (at blackjack) and you’ll come out ahead after because of their bonus money. I’ve read several reviews, but I’m a little addicted to video games, so gambling may not be a wise choice for me
Have you ever heard of it?
Thanks for linking to my site but the link isn’t working properly.
BTW I have done “bonus whoring” like the previous commentor mentions but the good days of easy money are long gone. With the new online gambling laws it has now become very hard and not as much money is being given away.
I enjoyed your writing style and I’ve added you to my Reader. Keep these posts coming.
Your blog is interesting!
Keep up the good work!
