As someone not new to the money making realm in general but gaining more knowledge in fields I am interested in, it is important to me to run across very useful resources that can help gain more knowledge in hopes that I can make more money.

What better way to learn more about making money online than visiting blogs created by the people that are experienced in making money online. There are many great bloggers that make a decent income online and share some of their tips that can help both newbies and experienced people alike.

A lot of well known bloggers that are highly respected and regarded as the big dawgs of making money have a lot of these blogs. But how beneficial is their blog to people like us wanting to expand our knowledge and trying to make more money online. This goes out to more the new people than those that have quite some knowledge about affiliate marketing and such.

But the thing is, when you visit these highly respected blogs, do you really get what you are looking for? Are you gonna show me how to make money or what? That is the feeling I get when I visit some of these blogs. In my particular situation, it's not actually showing me how to make money but how to further my knowledge and gain skills to improve my money making goals.

Back on topic, when I go to a blog to learn about affiliate marketing or just to check out what kind of content these top bloggers are posting, it makes no sense. How can anyone starting out learning about creating some income online when there are posts talking about conventions that you are really not interested in because you want to make money and high priced outings and irrelevant stuff.

For example, someone reaches your blog through the search engines by typing in how to earn income from home and when they get there, they see a majority of your posts outlining all the nice things you bought with your money or places you have visited. Yes, they want to know that there is money to be made but they really want to know how they can make it.

It is nice to share some of your personal experiences, fine dining, expensive outings, or whatever but what about the readers? What about the new people that go there to actually learn something?  Yes there might be some good content in the archives or whatever but some people get too tied up in their success that they forget about what the readers want or is interested in.

Remember, most readers that come to a blog about making money online want to learn something or more importantly want to be just as successful as the person running the blog or at least make some decent money by applying something stated on the blog. No, they don't have to provide any tips or resources for anybody but if a blog is about making money online or the sort, provide something (guest posts, better rehashed content, or whatever), however much they update their blog, at least once that will help a high majority of the readers that want to earn some income from home that will actually be beneficial to them.

Saying this, I want to point out a few great blogs that I have run across that I actually like and have learned quite a lot of unique things about earning money online. They provide great content for newbies and pro's alike.

Moner Maker Info - This blog is run by Andy and he updates his blog on various ways to earn money online. He also features guest posts that also provide great ideas of earning money online.

Work From Home Business Blog - I have been visiting this blog for a couple of weeks and have learned a lot of great information. This blog mostly focuses on making money blogging and tips.

Work From Home Resources - This is a great place for new people to learn some extra tips on making money online. Lots of encouraging and motivational articles to help people succeed at making money online.

GrowMap - This site is another great blog mainly about furthering your marketing goals and growing your online business.

WassupBlog - This last one I mention is unique to me as there are different things I think about this blog that are cool and different. There is a lot of honesty and "real expectations" when it comes to methods of making money online told on this blog. The blog has a lot of great information about the topic and some good ways to earn some cash.

Today I will be telling you about a promising program that I had the chance to check out. It is called Minute Workers. This program allows users to sign up free and complete easy tasks for cash. There is a 6 step process.

The first step is obviously to sign up. You get a $2.00 bonus just for signing up. The second step is to go to available jobs and select a job to complete. After you choose a job to complete, you complete the job and show proof after you have completed the job. Once that is done, you submit the job completion for review by the employer. Once the job is reviewed, money is sent. The last step is to withdraw the money from Paypal.

I have checked out the site and they have a nice setup going. The jobs actually look very simple to do and do really seem like they would only take a minute to complete. For example, you get paid .25 to sign up and connect with twitter, a quick and easy process. International members are also welcome to join.

So, if you want to make a little extra cash online, Minute Workers can be a starting point. I will post my results on the program in a later post. If you want to check out what others have said about the program or want more information, you can always visit the forum on the site.

There is another program that helps people to earn money online. The program is called Project Payday. Some people claim that project payday is a scam. Well let me clear some things up about this program and why people think it is a scam and why it really isn't.

Before I start, this program is currently aimed at US residents. Ok, now that I have gotten that out of the way, let me explain a little what Project Payday is about. First off, project is free to sign up to get more information. Once you submit your name and email, they will send you more information about it all works.

If you are interested in what they have to offer you, complete a trial offer (sponsor offer) and you get your membership. So technically, you do have to spend a little money to get the membership. When I signed up, I did a free trial offer that cost me maybe 1.99. I got in after that. As long as you cancel the trial before the trial is up, you don't get any further charges, that is if you don't like the service or product.

After you get your membership, you access the member page and all the information you need to get started is available to you. Project Payday mainly involves showing you how to earn money with freebie trading. To be honest, they really do you show you what to do to earn some money through this method.

There are two basic methods involved with freebie trading that is talked about at Project Payday. The first one involves getting paid to complete trial offers for others and paying people to complete offers for you. This is where the confusion comes in at and people think Project Payday is a scam.

Project Payday only explains how to make money from freebie trading. The actual trading is where people have problems, usually with the trial offers charging them an arm and a leg. When this happens, they blame Project Payday and claim that it is a scam when indeed it is not.

For an example, someone agrees to complete a site for someone. They will be paid $20 to complete the site. They sign up to the site, complete a free trial costing them around a buck and make $19 profit. All is well and everything is looking legit. Then they forget to cancel the trial, if they didn't want to continue, and they get hit with a $60 charge. This is when people will say Project Payday is a scam. Why is project payday called a scam when the actual trial company is the one that charged the people and the people forget to cancel? It is just how society works. Sometimes they have to put the blame on someone or something.

To make the most of Project Payday and what it has to offer, you have to follow instructions and learn how the process works. The site is filled with tutorials and when you actually start to make money, there are more tutorials on the forum that will help you avoid possible problems with this method of making money.

I was introduced to freebie trading through Project Payday and have to say that because of this program, I was able to make some good cash online within hours, precisely 15 minutes to make $15 right to paypal account. You can read about this here. I spent quite a while with freebie trading and that income I made from it accounts for half of my total income in 2009.

Point is, project payday is NOT a scam.

Some people don't believe that you can sign up to completely free site and earn money free and actually get paid. This is a concern with many get paid to sites. One of the top get paid to sites is Cashcrate. Some people question if Cashcrate is a scam. The truth is.....Cashcrate is NOT a scam.

Cashcrate is a legitimate get paid to site that allows users to sign up completely free and fill out offers and surveys for free cash. You actually get paid. I have received a total of 5 checks from them and waiting on one to arrive any day now. That one I got by surprise since I forgot to change my payout limit to $100 instead of 50. I made $50 in earnings over a course of a few months only by referrals and bonuses. I didn't complete a single offer. You can see my earnings below. Sorry I don't have any checks. I cash checks too fast to take a picture of them. (Humor) If you click the image it may become larger.

I started out with Cashcrate as a way to make some quick cash and to see if it was legitimate. I made $149 my first month completely free. After that I ventured into other ways to make money and my income decreases from Cashcrate since I didn't do that many offers as I used to when I first started.

Cashcrate is no way a scam for any of the curious people wondering if they actually pay. It is a legitimate way for people to make some quick cash online for free.
