This is a guest post by Christopher Lawrence who is telling us 5 weird ways to make money online.
When scouring the internet for ways to make free money online, you may run into some really weird programs. Generally, these programs are dismissed without a second thought because it is hard to believe that someone would actually pay for something like that.
When you do find a weird program,make it is always a good idea to do a little research before joining to make sure that you are not about to be scammed. This is a list of five weird ways to make money online that are, believe it or not, viable…
ONE: Mock Trials
There are several websites that will pay you to participate in mock trials. These trials are simulations of an actual case that a lawyer wants to present. These lawyers want to test out their presentation to a large group of people within a certain demographic to determine whether their argument is convincing.
These trials generally take about an hour to complete and you can get paid anywhere from $10 to $60. Don’t think you can make a full time living from this though. Trials only come along once in a blue moon. These programs cost the lawyers approximately $2,000, so there really isn’t a backlog of trials you can partake in. It is a good way to make some extra money every couple of months though. You can increase your chances of landing a trial by signing up for several of these programs.
TWO: Paid Online Surveys
There is a lot of skepticism around paid online surveys. This is because many so called survey websites are scams. In their terms of service, they will place a stipulation that you must make an enormous amount of money before you will be paid. There are some reputable survey sites out there though.
It is always important to do a little research before you join one. You don’t want to waste your time on a site that doesn’t deliver. These sites exist to provide large companies with marketing research. Marketing research is expensive and valuable data for any industry.
THREE: Playing Games
This has to be a joke right? Wrong. Some website will actually pay you to play game on their site. This is how they attract visitors. They can do this because they make much more money on advertising than what they are giving you. Generally you can only earn pennies on these sites because you are just playing games. It sounds ridiculous, but it is a reality.
FOUR: Answering Questions
Are you really good at Jeopardy? Well, if you are, you can make a couple cents for every question you answer on sites like Cha Cha. Again, you won’t get rich this way, but it is a good way to earn a couple of extra bucks a day if you are quick. Sites like this are perfect for the know-it-alls.
{Admin NOTE} : You can also give a try Mahalo. It has a section called “Mahalo Tasks” which is just like Yahoo! Answers but you get paid here for answering questions. You will get some X “Mahalo Dollars” if the person who have asked the question found your answer helpful. Once you have collected 150 “Mahalo Dollars” then you can cash out. 1 Mahalo Dollar = $0.75 which will be paid via PayPal.
FIVE: Social Bookmarking
Social Bookmarking is something that you can actually make some decent income on. All you need to do is provide a link to a website or article, write a short description on it, and watch the money roll in. You will have to create a lot of bookmarks before you see some decent money from it. It is recommended to join several of these sites to increase your earning potential. This is also a good way to promote some of your own articles or website pages.
{Admin NOTE} : Give a try to BlogEngage Revenue sharing if you are looking forward to make money online through this way.
At The End...
There are hundreds of ways to make free money online, but these are some of the strangest. You can’t make a ton of money with these methods, but they can be pretty fun once in a while. The trick to determining whether a site is worth joining is whether it will seem like work to you. If it sounds like fun, and isn’t a scam, there is no harm in playing along.

Never heard of Mock Trials too, i think there is no problem in playing games online, as long as it’s no deposit, i mean, just a game, who knows to bet your luck in there. There are many other ways of earning money online, just try to explore, one thing for them is using video marketing. It’s more common that gets traffic to your sites.

I love to play games .. Gonna try to make money by it! BTW could you please give me link of any site that pays for playing?
I can’t recommend you anything since I don’t know whether they are legit or not..So you will have to Google for such sites and make sure you investigate about that site properly before starting to play games at their site thinking that you earn money online.

I have never heard about mock trials, could someone tell me where can I find them these. About social bookmarking the problem is that if you just promote products the others will see you as spammer and you will get zero dollars…

For me it is not a weird way, people will make everything just to earn money online in an easy and fast way. If it is proven and tested to be effective then it would be a big help in the internet marketing business.
By the way thanks a lot for sharing this information to us.
Seriously none of them are professional ways of earning money,isn’t it?
But if you are a starter in blogging and web and want to convince your mind by earning some pennies,then after smart investigation go for them.
Have Fun!…
Playing games and answering questions are my top two favorite ones.
