A little OTB update: Yes, it's still dead and its employees have been put to pasture...except for CEO Gene Rayburn. Earlier this year, it was noted that Rayburn was being paid $125,000 a month and it turns out he's on payroll through January 14. The Daily News reports, per the governor's office, "Rayburn has stayed on to 'finish everything up.' The restructuring specialist is dealing with the outfit's remaining issues in bankruptcy court and is making sure money owed to various creditors and staffers is paid out... By the time he is through, Rayburn will have been paid at least $750,000 for six months on the job. His predecessor made $175,000 annually."
Hello, everybody. As we close the books on one year and begin another, I wanted to take a moment today to wish you a very Happy New Year and talk a little bit about the year that lies ahead.
At the start of 2011, we’re still just emerging from a once-in-a-lifetime recession that’s taken a terrible toll on millions of families. We all have friends and neighbors trying to get their lives back on track.
We are, however, riding a few months of economic news that suggests our recovery is gaining traction. And our most important task now is to keep that recovery going. As president, that’s my commitment to you: to do everything I can to make sure our economy is growing, creating jobs, and strengthening our middle class. That’s my resolution for the coming year.
Still, even as we work to boost our economy in the short term, it’s time to make some serious decisions about how to keep our economy strong, growing and competitive in the long run. We have to look ahead -- not just to this year, but to the next 10 years, and the next 20 years.
Where will new innovations come from? How will we attract the companies of tomorrow to set up shop and create jobs in our communities? What will it take to get those jobs? What will it take to out-compete other countries around the world? What will it take to see the American Dream come true for our children and grandchildren?
Our parents and grandparents asked themselves those questions. And because they had the courage to answer them, we’ve had the good fortune to grow up in the greatest nation on Earth.
Now it’s our turn to think about the future. In a few days, a new Congress will form, with one house controlled by Democrats and one house controlled by Republicans -- who now have a shared responsibility to move this country forward. And here’s what I want you to know: I’m willing to work with anyone of either party who’s got a good idea and the commitment to see it through. And we should all expect you to hold us accountable for our progress or our failure to deliver.
As I’ve said since I first ran for this office, solving our challenges won’t be quick or easy. We have come through a difficult decade, one of new threats and new trials we didn’t expect when it began. But a new year and a new decade stretch out before us. And if we just remember what America is capable of, and live up to that legacy, then I’m confident that we are poised for a period of progress -– one in which our economy is growing, our standing in the world is rising, and we do what it takes to make sure America remains in the 21st century what it was in the 20th: the greatest country in the world. Thanks for listening. And Happy New Year. ####

Insert cliché opening paragraph about the economy and nowadays people are turning to work online, blah, blah, blah. Oh, wait, you're actually reading? Sorry. Well, then, let me say this. Making money online is possible, but, just as everyone will tell you (except for the scammers), don't expect to "get rich" or "get rich quick". You have to put in time, effort, and most of all, work.
Things to Avoid
1. Anything that asks for payment. Never, ever spend your time on these. You will be losing money and making someone else's wallet fat for them without them having to do anything but scam you. I once heard it phrased like this, you don't have to pay for a job interview, do you? It's the same concept here.
2. Paid-to-try/trial offers. Generally, these are a scam. Yes, they will probably look like a pretty profit, but many of them aren't free to try or charge you after a certain trial period and are very hard to get rid of. They cause frustration and money-loss and are NOT worth it.
3. Anything that doesn't tell you what you're doing upfront. This is kind of obvious. If it's shady, it's probably a scam.
4. "Get rich quick"s. You don't get rich quick any time in life unless you win the lottery or something like that. Work is work. Everyone has to earn their money and they don't get rich quick doing it.
Really, just use some common sense and you should be fine.
What I have learned is that a few places, while they don't make much money for me, are slow and steady and reliable. (Other than freelancing, that is. Freelancing is an entirely different set of ideas.)
BeRuby.com
BeRuby is a site that pays you very small amounts when you click on websites through their web-page. Many of the sites I go to every day are there, and many that I don't are also there. (Click on them anyway.) They also pay you for signing up at certain places and cash back for shopping at stores they have deals with, many of which are hotel sites and airline sites and big names, like K-Mart.
It has a $10.00 payout minimum and pays to PayPal. While I don't expect to make much here (I'm not), the extra couple bucks I gain from two minutes of effort and the time I spent on the computer every day is worth it to me. I don't have to change anything up or spend hours filling in stupid surveys.
See here.
Number two: Inbox Dollars
This site sends you emails, which you can open in your inbox or in your inbox on their site. They also offer a variety of ways to otherwise make money, including surveys, trials, signing up for things their advertisers send them, games, shopping, etc.
Their payout is $30.00, which seems like a lot for a paid-to-open site, but like I said, it doesn't happen overnight.
See here.
Number three: SendEarnings
They are, literally, identical to Inbox Dollars. They are even run by the same company. They have the same payout and send you the same emails and offers, so you can really get paid twice for opening the same email, which some might call scamming - except for the fact that they let you sign up under the same name and everything. Their pay-out is also $30.00.
See here.
Number four: Cash Crate
Similar to the above two, Cash Crate has a good reputation, a clean layout, and a $20.00 payout which is relatively easy to reach. They are a similar set-up to the above two: surveys, offers, etc. I personally like Cash Crate the best.
See here.
Number five: ChaCha!
If you don't know what ChaCha is, it is a service run through cellphones and call ins. People send questions to ChaCha and get answers from real-life people - who might be you. And you can also be paid to do this. It's a relatively complex process. You must go through training and pass a test to get hired, which takes a couple of days, but it's worth it if you can research and type quickly.
A note worth mentioning: they only work properly in FireFox.
See here.
It is possible to get paid through online work that isn't freelance writing or starting your own business. Once again, keep in mind to avoid scams, that it won't happen overnight, that you must work at it, and that it is possible.
Good luck.
