Description: Shutterstock is different than other stock models. Buyers subscribe on a monthly basis and can download up to 750 images over the course of 30 days. Your cut? Shutterstock will pay you 25 cents every time one of your images is downloaded. Once you reach $500 in earnings, your commission goes up to 30 cents per download.
Current Payout $0.25 (US) per download. That means that at just 2000 downloads/month, you can earn $500 (US) per month! Many of their photographers earn this and more every month.
Steps to get started:
Expectations: If you are serious about photography and take the time necessary to submit quality photographs, you can make some good residual income. The key to success is learning Shutterstock’s rules and sticking with them. It is a lot of fun doing as well once you get the hang of it.

Description: It is simple to register and join the Informa Research Services Team and become a mystery shopper. They have many different projects that they do for clients and are always looking for individuals to help them fulfill assignments around the United States.
Steps to get started:
Expectations: My wife and I decided to try a couple of projects that they were looking for shoppers to fulfill. I was a little hesitant at first thinking that it wouldn’t be worth the time, but we earned $600 in about 4 hours of our time. Was it worth it? I think so!

Description: ProBuilderPlus is a web based opportunity to build wealth by utilizing auto-responders, signing up pre-enrollee’s who you want to become enrollees. I tested this opportunity out for a couple of months and was very disappointed. Incredibly hard to make any money. Don’t waste your time.

BBB Rating: as of 2/17/2010 was a C -
Description: Well, my opinion about this opportunity is that it is not worth your time. I set up an account for about a month and at first things looked promising. It definitely wasn’t something to bank my retirement on, but it seemed like a good way to make a small amount of money every month.
Well, I started receiving emails from them with survey opportunities. They stated that my profile matched the survey’s criteria. Once I clicked on the link they gave me I went through a series of questions and found out that I was not actually qualified for the survey. Pretty frustrating. Especially after wasting 5 minutes of my own time.
I don’t feel like this is some kind of scam, but it definitely is a “rotten” idea.
Steps to get started:
1. Sign up and set up your profile.
2. Complete your member profile so that they can match you up with the right surveys (ones that match your likes/dislikes/background, etc…)
3. Once you have signed up you are ready to start taking surveys.
Expectations: Don’t expect much. After a month of testing it out I have nothing to show for it
