Is it possible to make money online or are you chasing that elusive dream. You want to work from home, but everyone else is trying to make passive money also. Sometimes it is possible, but there is always work or time involved. There isn't a free lunch.

So here are some of the sites, that I've been following.

This is an online transcription site. It requires a test that takes a while to complete. Then it takes the time to get it graded. If you pass, there is work on this site. This site is easy to use, but I am still waiting for my results.

I've tried it multiple times. I wouldn't waste my time, even though some people are reporting success. Right away I copied my transcription when I completed it. I never passed, but each time, I got a different grade for exactly the same copy. Something does not seem right about this test. If I am bored, I might continue trying, but I am not too excited about this sight.

Iwriter:
This is an article writing service. You choose to write articles. The pay is low and to move up they want you to pay to get graded. It is on the side of a scam. I would avoid it.

I am having success on this article writing site. They pay every Friday. I am moving up the writing scale. I am going to stay using this site because everything seems legitimate. There is a time limit on the articles and some of the people purchasing can ask for a lot of revisions. If you have a little time to write, this is a legitimate site that pays.

This is a photosite. I looked at it, but it so overstocked that making money would be very difficult. The site has a lot of contributors, so getting your work seen might be extremely difficult. It takes a lot of time to keyword everything and your images need to be perfect. Not impossible but it might be a time sink for very little money.
