I am always on the lookout for work that can be done from home for people like me who have a chronic illness (or a few), any health issues or are disabled. I came across three new easy ways. You won’t make millions, but these fit in with people who can’t keep a regular schedule, may need time off often and just want to make some money on the side. They are all legitimate and are considered independent contractor positions.

• YouData – This is the most simple projects to take part in. You do need to have access to a cell phone with texting ability but only to sign up. Then you fill out a few surveys, just what info you’d like to divulge. Based on that, you are given some ads and websites to view. You earn money for each ad and site. Every Friday, you will get money in your PayPal account.

• MyLot – is a site where you get paid to participate in discussions and take part in tasks. It’s a lot of fun because you get to meet new people, read about people’s opinions and write your own. You can also promote your blogs, websites, etc. on your profile. This does take some time to earn money, but it’s worth it to me. I’ve met a lot of people with health issues on this site.

• Likaholix – I’ve been on this site for a few months now, just because it’s exciting. They do have contests almost all the time, but now they’re offering money for every person you invite. Right now there’s a contest to win $100. All you need to do is add things that you like. Of course they have to be original and that’s where the thinking comes in. You can add anything from foods to websites.

None of these sites ask you for money to join. They don’t promise you an income to live off of and they have been doing well for me. If you have any questions about any of these sites, leave me a comment. Here’s to some extra money in your pocket!

Edited to add, thanks to Ricky from Bedbound Unlimited, YouData and Likaholix are only available to people residing in the US. For MyLot, you must have a PayPal account, but you can reside outside of the US.
