Saturday ramble on making money online

Recovering, as I am, from a few drinks with friends last night and an £11 taxi ride home (!) from the other side of the city, my attention is wandering today.

Crossing my mind are ideas of how to make money online - writing blogs more frequently in the hope someone reads it and maybe clicks on one of the ads. Or, selling books, DVDs and other unused items from the depths of deep storage. Or, making my services available to design web pages, edit or administer content. I guess there's no easy solution to turning in a profit whether it be online or offline.

What other things could be done to make some legitimate cash online? What are the make money fast scams out there that are best avoided? Are there ways to do some kind of service work from home on the computer for companies or businesses in order to earn a second wage? I'd be delighted to cut back the number of hours spent on Farmville or Mafia Wars in order to use my time online more productively!

Valentine's Day swings round again on 14th February and love in the free world often means lining someone else's pockets with your hard earned cash in order to please your nearest and dearest. So, if you're going to splash out, it's a good idea to make it worth the wedge and get things that will light-up the eyes and warm the heart of your loved one. May I present to you, the top 6 Valentine's gifts...

1. Chocolates are tasty and have the ability to improve your mood and make you happy.

2. Flowers smell nice, look pretty and represent all that's good about life.

3. At £111, the Kindle from Amazon might seem pricey, but it's one of the hottest gifts, able to store around 3,500 books in something that almost fits the palm of your hand. Just check it out...



4. A romantic weekend break in some country retreat could be the ticket to keep the romance alive.

5. Shiny things like jewellery are always a winner.

6. Kinky stuff - handcuffs, pampering sets or toys and games get the pulses racing and the passion soaring.
