I always see ads popping up while I'm surfing online telling me I can make extra money at home, but I am always skeptical. Usually if you click on the ad you will be taken to a site that is advertising something like paid surveys. Now, I don't really know if those work or not, but again - I tend to be a bit on the skeptical side.

But in this day and time, we really need some way to make a little more cash, don't we? I sure did! I needed some money to pay off a few bills that were plaguing me, so I started looking around to see what I might be able to do online to earn something extra.

Of course I was immediately bombarded with the survey stuff, and also "data entry" jobs -- I am not sure what that actually is, but you see that one all the time too.

I then ran across something called Internet marketing, and I did a little research on that. It looked totally confusing, but I found a lot of testimonials from people who said they had actually made money with this. I figured it warranted further investigation, so I delved in a little deeper.

During this research phase I happened upon some information about making money blogging, and that sounded really interesting to me. Imagine if you could create a blog and then just sit and chat away on a daily basis about things that interest you, and at the same time make extra money at home while doing so. I guess it does sound a little too good to be true.

But surprisingly, on further checking, it seems that this is a legitimate method. People actually create blogs and then either place Adsense on them or ads for products, and then they earn a commission.

So if you are wondering how to make extra money at home and you're not interested in doing something like paid surveys or that vague data entry thing, check into blogging as it just might be exactly what you are looking for.
