(Updated from 2014) Okay, so you need to earn some extra money. But you don't have the skills or training or talent to be a bestselling author, a rock star, a brain surgeon or a double-naught spy. Well, chances are that you ARE good at giving your opinion! Who isn't?
The October 2014 edition of the AARP Bulletin (p. 29) lists a number of great opportunities that want to pay you for your opinion. I know...right?! (Editor's 2019 note: These links are still viable and you can still sign up to earn money with these companies.)

- focusgroup.com and findfocusgroups.co pay up to $150 and more for a couple hours of your time reviewing goods and services. My sister used to do this for extra cash and is now running focus groups herself. The money is great and you get to try out lots of products (she had big boxes of candy in her fridge from one survey). Do they really call this work??? Sounds like a good time to me!
