uhh about the survey thing, I have done it and well its takes too long so I quit the next day.
about the my own way thing.
If you can enter data into a DB efficently and well not make mistakes, look for a data entry job, they pay quite good. I have found some paying $ 200.00 a day but yea, that would be the (my way) type of thing.
And, don't quit your day job. Chances of being replaced are well high. Unless there is an even better reason for them to keep you.
I have checked some of these out and they seem to all be con's. What they don't tell you until after you pay your $19,$29,$39 'registration fee' is that the 'data entry' is infact typing out google ads for companies which you then advertise yourself via Adwords and pay for!! Then if people click on your ad you get paid LOL.
Its basically someone charging you to tell you how to earn money using affiliate programs, that I will tell you for Free if you only ask LOL
