It's been so hard finding a job these day's, and I've been wondering about trying to find out about these "work online from home" sites like filling out stuff, but not completely sure. Like, how would I know if it's really a scam or if it's the real deal? And which sites should I look into?
Answer
I have seen some scare statistics regarding the percentage of online job offers that are some kind of scams, take care, don't pay for work, not even $1.
The survey sites for the most part require you to participate in product trials, the quiz operators and product merchants expect to profit from your participation in the long run. Stuffing envelops, still offered online occasionally is a scam older than the internet.
The work at home for Google sort of fake new advertisements pages about a mom making some $6000 a month "posting links" is mostly BS, re-billing your credit card for some $80 after you first pay a minimal shipping fee for 'free' info. Google sued about 50 sites using this style ad a while ago, they have taken the Google text out but still shows their picture (just saw an ad with a token blurring applied to the Google images)
Some make money selling products directly or affiliate marketing others', after a lengthy trial and error learning process, a significant number fail to profit but don't lose anything like someone starting a brick and mortar retail business.
There may be more straight forward ways to earn money online, have a look at the job lists on freelance marketplace sites like freelancer.com and odesk.com, many web site operators use these sites to pick up assistance, you can earn about $5 for writing a 450 word article for a web site, while there is worldwide competition, a native English writer has a big advantage. Workers sign up for free, you end up working for various different 'employers' so the experience can vary, at worst getting occasionally scammed out of your time rather than money.
There are also micro task sites that pay small change for a few minutes work, popular with 3rd world countries, some in the U.S. do them instead of crossword puzzles, the original was created by Amazon, the online store to 'automate' tasks a computer couldn't do, like pick the better of 2 pictures they named mturk.com after the 18th century Mechanical Turk chess playing machine that had a man hidden inside. ShortTask and microworkers have similar micro tasks, some individual jobs are a bit shady, like signing up for product trials, doing surveys, clicking ads you shouldn't, but you get to choose which tasks to perform

How well does reading work?
Answer
Reading is one of the best ways, but content matters.
reading trashy romance novels or the harry potter series is better than not reading, but if you challenge yourself, all the better.
Read some medical journals, scientific publications, college texts, anything basically from the non fiction section at the library.
I may be old school, but I think reading actual books is much better than reading stuff on the internet. It's like the brain is more wired to handle reading page by page in a quiet place than the quick click multi-tasking high speed info on a computer screen. Better on the eyesight in the long run too.
Writing is another good way, and so is doing crossword puzzles, assembling model cars, drawing, watch jeopardy instead of jerry springer and hellcats, things like that. Take some challenging courses, listen to lectures, talk radio instead of music. Join some yahoo groups on different subjects.
the most important thing is to use your brain, challenge it. Most TV shows and video games and music don't do that, they're just more passive entertainment.
Also eat right and get plenty of sleep & exercise so your brain is healthy like the rest of you.
