    I don't recall who it was here on SeniorsOnly, who mentioned that he/she earned money on the internet, but i'd be very interested in finding ways to also do so. If you know, please tell me.

    You can earn gift cards for places like Amazon or Walmart and others by doing surveys online, @Richard Whiting . I do not make enough money this way to actually count it as any kind of earnings, but the gift cards give me some little spending money for things I want and can’t afford otherwise.
    It is something to do in your spare time besides sitting around, or watching television, and I enjoy taking the surveys.
    Sometimes, I have done surveys about medical issues (like my heart failure), and those will pay more, over $100 sometimes.

    If you are interested in doing surveys for gift cards, I can give you the links for ones that I like ?

    My wife and I watch a fair number of “reaction videos” to music we like. The people who are good at this offer insights to the music, the singers, instrumentation and productions that those of us on the outside can appreciate.

    Anyway, relative to the OP, I stumbled across this interesting video of one reactor and musician discussing how she makes money off the web with some of the pitfalls that have bit her.

    A friend's son had Facebook reach out to him and ask him to put up more videos like the ones he had already done. I forget the exact dollars involved, but it was something like $7 when one video hit 1,000,000 views. It could have been less money.

    Here's a thread, entitled, Extra Money Online that may have some useful suggestions. Surveys and Bing Rewards are nice for gift certificates, and easy enough to do, but if you want to earn a living online, you've got to be good at what you do, as would be the case for an offline job. For example, someone who is very good at writing can make some real money online, but someone whose writing skills are mediocre can expect a lot less. Even with good skills, it can take time for this to be recognized since there are so many scammers.

    And, anyone has to watch out for any kind of scam or whatever. I don't do surveys, but I do "Reviews", and true ones, for many products I buy on Amazon.

    None of the surveys that I do are scams, and I am not sure where Cody does reviews and makes money; so he will have to explain where he can do that.
    The surveys that I do are simple little ones, might be about foods you like/buy, where you shop, politics, pets, or just about anything. Sometimes, you will do the preliminary questions, and then find out you do not qualify for the whole survey, and you usually get a few points just for trying the survey.
    They always ask questions to see if you can actually read the survey, and some will tell you what to answer the question with, to see if you are reading the instructions.
    It is all really fast and easy.
    Here is a link to one that always has surveys ready to go, and if you try it and like doing surveys, then I can send you links to other survey sites, @Richard Whiting .

    Just within the past week I've been getting invitations from Amazon to do reviews "for a chance to win a $3 gift card." I've passed. When Walmart sends me survey requests, I get a shot at $1,000 top reward and a bunch of $500/$100/etc lesser prizes. The drawings are monthly.

    I've yet to receive an invitation for a guaranteed payment for taking a survey.

    I've done reviews on a few different sites, including Amazon, but have never been paid for any.

    I tried to sign up for the link you posted, but I was rejected because they don't allow members who live in Mexico.
    If you know of any others, please tell me. If I could get $100/month in either Walmart credits or $100 /mo in cash , that would be a HUGE help.

    Not sure Clara made much money on youtube but she fascinates me and shows that we have been through bad times and made it before. Sadly she has passed but was happily making these videos in her 90's!
