Easy Money

Everyone these days are looking for "easy quick cash" deals. I've always been raised on the thought that there is no such thing as easy money. Some of these deals seem to good to be true though.

You could earn a pink cadillac from selling makeup, which you know they will buy anyways, to all of your girlfriends?

That sure seems easy.

Sell a milkshake that will make you lose 40lbs in 3 months to your coworkers who are complaining they need an easier way to lose weight?

I haven't ever tried to do these direct sales but I can say I have attended Scentsy parties and some sex toy parties that were only interesting because of the food and social aspect.

I personally do not know of anyone that has been successful doing these directs Ellington achemes. But you alway here of these people that have financed their homes by these jobs.

With the evolution of the more interactive Internet, these "easy quick cash" schemes seem to be plentiful. I do have to admit I get suckered into these when they claim you can earn easy cash answering online surveys.

There's always a catch though.

One site seemed promising because I read about it off a public group on Facebook. I have forgotten the name of the website but you could do online tasks and earn anywhere from $2 to $20. Of course, many of these online tasks were highly technical and companies just wanted an easy way to outsource small minantinous jobs.

I have gotten smarter and have learned to read the terms and conditions. For this particular site it said that they were not responsible for the payments from the job provider. Which meant that if you were not to be paid you would need to take it up with that company you did they job for, in which you are not an employee and I would think they legally did not need to pay you. Besides, good luck finding the company they worked for because every company created their own usernames and did not have reveal their company id. 

On Pinterest, I ran across an article on 30 ways to make extra money. It mentioned blogging for money, Being a virtual assistance (graphic design for bloggers, social media promoting for people and other jobs), starting your own laundry service, eBay selling, tutoring, and other random jobs.
Some of these things seemed like promising ideas but as I went on it was hard to get through the article without accidently clicking on a sponsored link.

I see now, this was just a sponsored blog someone was making money off of for making it viral on Pinterest. How did this person start? How much were they making now? Did they actually successfully make "easy quick cash?"
