Frequently I come across subject titles along the lines of "HELP! I need to find a work at home job NOW!" I have to admit it's a frightening statement with signs of desperation oozing rather disgustingly pleading for a WAH job that may not come into existence for many months. There is really no way of making fast easy money NOW. Did I really say that? Well it's true to an extent. You can't make tons of money quickly online -- legally that is, but you can make money. While you're not going to make enough to pay all your bills, your mortgage or a down payment on your summer cottage, you will make enough to enjoy a venti mocha java from Starbucks and maybe pay a smaller household bill! Use your imagination and you may have enough to put a little bit away for your summer cottage.

Here are four very easy ways to make money online. Taking this route is probably best if you're not starving for money because like everything it takes a bit of time...with the exception of #4 and we'll get to that.

1. Everyone can write an article and submit it. Everyone has something they are knowledgeable about or is an "expert" in some field. If you have a basic understanding of the English language, good spelling and proper grammar you can do this and write for AssociatedContent.com They pay all US residents anywhere from $3 to $20 per submitted and approved article. You can also earn money for x amount of page views.

2. Paid surveys. I think this one is a bit trickier as surveys come to you depending on your demographics and your profile. Now, be careful you're not joining survey sites with the compensation of gift certificates or sweepstakes unless this is what you don't mind. Focus groups pay a lot more so it's good to look into those as well.

3. Paid to do offers, paid to click and paid to read emails. There are some very reputable paying ones. Back in my days when I first started online "paid to" was one of my make-easy-money-now ventures. Every so often I made my Starbucks hot chocolate money. It wasn't all that bad except it was time consuming, but it was good pocket change.

4. Craigslist. This is where you can make the big bucks and fast! Have anything to sell? Furniture? Sporting goods? Toys? Books? Clothes? I have found selling in your own city or state items go fast! You don’t have to be moving to have a moving sale. It just makes the items sell faster. An easy $100 or more for the computer hutch and computer chair you have sitting in your basement collecting dust? Plus any items you don't want anymore charged at whatever price you choose? This is some decent pocket hefty change!

Yes there are ways to make easy money online with a little experience, a little creativity and a whole lot of patience!
