There are so many different ways to make money now online and an overwhelming amount of eBooks and programs that will hypothetically help you out. If you are looking for scam free methods and want to read what other real people say about a program before you sign up, IM Report Card is where you should go first.

They have hundreds of different “make money online” systems and programs listed where people just like you are allowed to rate them and give their experiences. Once you sign up (which is 100% FREE), you too can give your 2 cents about all the good things you have found online and the bad ones as well. If you have ever been ripped off online, you can let others know what money making eBooks and systems to avoid.

The great thing about IM Report Card is that they will pay you for your opinions. There are many ways to rack up credits by leaving comments, voting, giving reviews, and suggesting new systems to be reviewed. Once you have enough credits to equal $20.00 you can cash out via PayPal. So, you can help others by steering them clear of the scams you have been tricked by and you can make money doing it! You can of course also search for the programs that are highest rated that everyone likes that might help you make money online.

First of all I want to show what I have earned. The screen print below is my account after two months and I will be cashing out tomorrow. You can get paid by PayPal, check, Amazon gift card, Target gift card, or Wallmart gift card. All of those payout options are 100% free but they take 30 days for each of them. If you want to get paid sooner, you can using all those same payment options and get paid the NEXT DAY but it costs 33% of the amount you cash out.

 Here is a screen print of the PayPal payment I got at the end of January:

The bottom line is that SquishyCash is a standard GPT site where you get paid for doing surveys, completing offers, and signing up for things. What sets SquishyCash apart from other similar sites are the daily promotions.

Every month they put out a calendar which shows the daily contests and promostions. At least once a week they have a day where you can earn bonus money for doing three, five, or ten offers. So, in addition to getting the normal amount those offers are worth, you will get an extra dollar or two thrown in during that day.

It is smart to only do the offers and surveys during these promotion days so that you can get more for your time and effort. There are many ways to earn money including daily surveys, shopping, and a great referral program.

The SquishyCash referral program is just as good as CashCrate’s program as they automatically give you $1.00 for every active referral you make. The second a referral does an offer, you get $1.00 deposited in your account. They also have a 3 tiered program where at the top level you make 30% of what your 1st level referrals make, 15% of your 2nd level referrals, and 10% of your 3rd level referrals.

Online money making can be fun with a site like SquishyCash and there is no doubt they are trying to make it fun. However, there you can make some good money there as well as have fun especially if you take advantage of the referral program.

However, there are a few ways for 15 year olds to pick up some extra money via the Internet. If you are a young teenager and you have heard about money making ideas online, you might have already looked into it and been discouraged. Most things on the Net, as in real life, require you to be 18 years or older to join. This makes it very hard for a young teenager to earn some extra money on their computer.

There are a couple GPT (get paid to) and survey sites that will let you join if you are 15 years old. I have used both of these sites and they are NOT SCAMS. I have been paid by both of them and they are 100% legitimate. 

1) CashCrate – (100% free to join) This is always my #1 choice and you only have to be 13 and older to join. There is a great forum on this site and many 15 year olds are active on it. They have learned how to make money with Cash Crate and also how to make referrals which means you make even more money. You can read more about it at the bottom of this post: jobs for 15 years olds

2) SquishyCash - (100% free to join) This is another survey site that allows anyone 13 and older to join. This is a fun site where there are lots of things to do and lots of ways to make money. They have the option to be paid via PayPal which is nice if you have a PayPal account.

You are not going to get rich on either of these sites but you certainly can earn some nice pocket money each month from them to buy things you want. Maybe you need money to buy a video game, clothes, things for school, or other items you want. If you are 15 years old, these two sites are there for you to join and start to make some of that much needed extra money you need.

Listed below are my best money making ideas that are all free. If you want to get started making some extra cash online, these are a great place to start and they are all FREE to sign up.

1) CashCrate (100% Free) – This has become my top earner as I made over $2,000.00 in July 2009. You can see a picture of my check here my Best Money Making Ideas page. This is absolutely a top way to get started making money online if you want to start for FREE. You never, ever have to send any money to CashCrate and you will get paid by a real check they will send to you. (13 years and older for this so it is a great part time jobs for teens and ways for teens to make money!)

2) Send Earnings (100% free method) This is a another free way to make money if you don’t want to invest anything. As seen on the Good Morning America TV show,  members get paid to do things like take surveys, play games online, read emails, and other things. You get a $5.00 bonus for signing up and it is always free. They pay by check and will never ask you for money

CashCrate is a site that is 100% free to join and you will never be asked to pay any membership fee. You can make money by doing offers, filling out surveys, signing up to things and also referring other people. There are a few sites like this on the Internet but this is the best one and I have the checks to prove it.

I have NEVER used my credit card at CashCrate as they have free offers to do that require no money. I have made money on the site by doing a combination of the free offers as well as referring other people. I ALWAYS get paid right on time and have been paid every month now for almost two years.

The CashCrate website is easy to understand and navigate and there is a great forum with many people willing to help and answer any questions you have. It just so happens that CashCrate was one of the first online money making adventures I signed up for a couple years ago and I am very glad I did!
