Does anybody have experience with this? I just discovered today and it seems like an easy way to make some pocket change.

Yes. I've tried it and my wife does it regularly.

She managed to make some decent $/time spent, but I never found that to be the case.

Most of us have no idea what you're talking about

I just looked this up. The first page had a listing to make $0.40 for something they listed as being 2 hours. This was literally the best payment vs time listed for the 2 or 3 pages I browsed through. I saw several listings where the payment was $0.01.

 

Yeah, no thanks.

If you spend all day on the computer doing jack, don't mind doing stupid tasks, and not bothered by getting paid like a peasant...it might be worth trying out. Having good computer skills is also beneficial to get through the tasks quicker. 

 

I did it last winter because I was inside most of the time. I got bored very quickly. Made 25 bucks in a handful of hours (spaced out over a couple of weeks).

$.09 for an hour of work???

Sounds like the US economy has added some more great jobs this month!

Doesn't sound too lucrative from the posts. I would instead recommend trying Swagbucks and PerkTV. PerkTV is really easy money if you have a fast internet connection.

You also can make money by doing credit card offers. They'll request you open a card and spend $3000 or so in 3-6 months. You can use an American Express Serve account to manufacture the spending. Or just pay your bills with the new card.

 

Similarly many banks will give you money for opening accounts and doing direct deposits. There are lots of annoying rules with these though (leave account open 180 days usually).

 

Also you can make money by filing settlements in class action lawsuit cases. Many do not require receipts.

Just to update, I've been using Swagbucks and making around $25 a month. I just let my phone autoplay the videos while I do other stuff, and I set my wife up an account so I double my rewards. Here's the link if ya'll want to check it out:
