When choosing an online money making program you have to be really careful as many are scams.  Many of the income claims are exaggerated or entirely bogus.  For example, a couple of programs that I DO NOT recommend are:

  • Paid Surveys
  • Mystery Shopping

My husband tried both of these and they are both very time consuming and the pay simply isn’t worth the effort.  With both mystery shopping and paid surveys you typically need to sign up with several companies and many offers.  Many of the surveys only pay $5 and probably take around 15 minutes to complete.

The pay is probably a little better with mystery shopping as he did make around $40 for some jobs.  However, when you factor in your time to do to the “shop”, travel time, and paperwork time you could do just as well with a minimum wage job.
