There are many genuine online money making methods that pays you a decent amount of money. But most people are trying to make money from silly methods like reading emails. These type of works are to be avoided since you can’t make any money from them at the end. Below are the methods that should be avoided.

Reading e-mails is one of the most popular ways people try to make money online. If you are new to making money online this seems the easiest way to make some money and web sites that provide these services provide a sign up bonus of 10$ or some incentive like that to entice you. Don’t fall into this trap , an e-mail pays you like 0.02$ per mail and you need to read lots of mails to reach that magical 25$ mark.

Getting paid to click ads is another popular method used by most people. From my experience most paid to click websites are scams and you are wasting your time clicking on ads. Even if they pay, you need lots of active referrals to make a decent amount of money from these sites.

Signing up for survey sites is another method that looks like a easy way to earn an income. Problem is most of these surveys are targeted for US and Canadian citizens so chances of you getting a survey is very slim.

Signing up for Data Entry companies is another method used by many people. All of these companies are accepting money from you. Data entry is a legitimate business where you can earn real money, but the problem is there are lots of people who scam internet users promising insane amounts through data entry.

If you want to make real money online you can make money from forex trading. I have received several payments and they are a reputed company. See my post  http://www.shanavas.com/make-money-from-forex-trading/.

Microsoft is releasing yet again new operating system Windows 7 sometime in October this year. That means there is a huge opportunity to make money for everyone especially for bloggers, since most of them are good in setting up websites, doing basic SEO and promoting it on the net.

So how would you make money around Windows 7. The idea is simple, basically you are going to use first mover advantage and try to be the authority website in your niche, to make your site popular and high traffic. If you have a blog then you can use that. You can make money referring people to buy Windows 7 to Amazon or to other Microsoft partners that have affiliate programs.

There are also many other ways you can make money with windows 7. You could setup a tech forum for Windows 7, or make a wallpaper site, or tips & tricks site, or Windows 7 hacks site etc – all of which are very popular segments for previous versions of Windows OS, XP and Vista.
