A South African Perspective
In early April I came across a post by @cmoneyspinner in which she discussed her first impressions of a site called BitLanders. To be honest I’ve got more on my plate right now than I can cope with, so I wasn’t really planning to join another site. However the micro-blogging option appealed to me. I could write…
I’ve never been too keen on taking surveys and if I’m approached to take one at a shopping mall, I’ll always answer with a simple “not interested”. However, when I found out that there were websites which paid their members to take surveys, my interest was piqued. From what I’ve read on a variety of…
Quizbook is a site whose main emphasis is on general knowledge. Through a wide selection of quizzes it rewards its members for their knowledge on a variety of topics. It also offers other games and is a fun site to spend a little time. However, if you’re only there for the money, there are easier ways to earn as much…

If you think that sounds like easy money, I can assure you that you won’t get rich there, but you will get paid for having some fun and should improve your general knowledge at the same time. The site offers a variety of quizzes in six different categories:…

Update 5 August 2016: ChatAbout closed without warning earlier this week. For a few hours there was a message on the site reading “Due to unforeseen circumstances, Chatabout is no longer available.” However that quickly vanished too and at time of writing all that remains is a blank page. I first tried to join Chatabout sometime…
Until recently, whenever I came across someone asking for advice on how to get an AdSense account, I always suggested they join WebAnswers. That was how I got my account. But WebAnswers was more than that to me. After the Themestream debacle, WebAnswers was the first writing site at which I earned real money – meaning money I actually…
