Online surveys
Believe it or not, online surveys make money, for you as well as for the companies. The companies will much rather pay you for your time and patience at your filling the online surveys, than pay huge amounts of money to the call centers and the people who do these surveys. There are any number of companies who offer different lucrative offers for these surveys, like some will offer points to be redeemed against gifts and others will offer vouchers in lieu of money of gifts.
Some surveys offer you dollar rewards, and these can be redeemed against gifts and merchandise such as free flier miles, the points build up quite fast. Most of the surveys also have an eligibility criterion, i.e. the surveys are to be filled only if you are eligible for evaluating that particular good or service, for testing these, there are often questionnaires that need to be filled so that you may be evaluated and then either declared fit for taking the survey or not.
You can easily go through the various lists given in any survey site to get a fair idea of what all you should expect. Making money at home by these surveys is quite a piece of cake for an experienced person, but for a beginner the immense task of finding the correct survey is there. If we Google the query, the number of sites offering money for surveys are mind-boggling, but the question still remains as to what are the surveys that you are eligible to do or not. You cannot be expected to do a survey on American superstores while residing in Asia. Thus for a beginner, the search is the most difficult task of the whole deal, after which the going gets smooth. After a little experience it will automatically be clear what is for you and what is not.
