One of the more innovative online earning opportunities come from Roamler. This is an app which can be downloaded onto a smartphone.

From there you are set various tasks.  The original tasks are unpaid and simply to test your ability.  You then move up levels and onto different forms of paid tasks of a mystery shopper style.  These include having to visit supermarkets to take pictures of fruit/flower stands & answering 2 or 3 simple questions about the layout and freshness. Other tasks involve going to pubs and asking which type of beer they'd recommend.

Overall, its a lot more interesting than sitting on a computer clicking repeatedly and can sometimes be done during your lunch time or on way to or from work.

Tasks generally pay between £2 and £9. You can cash out via Paypal at any point.

In my opinion, the simplest of the money earning sites is Inbox Pounds.  It's a reputable company which I'm told is "Inbox Dollars" in the USA and elsewhere. 

Very, very simply - it's a site which you can use instead of Google or Bing but they pay you for using their site. You earn 1p for every 2 original searches up to the value of 15p per day. You also receive a loyalty bonus of 10p each week for using the search engine a few times.

I also recommend clicking the 'Paid Emails' (1p for 1 click) and the videos section which pay between 1p-8p per video.

You can also earn a little extra from various special offers and surveys, but the surveys don't pay particularly well.

I've cashed out a few times - they pay by cheque when you reach £20. The cheque arrives quickly. Reaching that £20 isn't so quick but the site requires little to no effort.
