Answer
Forget the paid to consume stuff they are most often designed to get you to buy more, it takes real work to make any decent money. All of the training courses give exaggerated far from typical earning figures there are too many con artists on the internet,. Secret shopper 'jobs' are a common scam as well.

There are 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, 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, getting occasionally scammed out of your time rather than money.
Odesk projects that the online worker market will reach 1 Billion Dollars in 2012.

Elance reports their workers earned $43 Million in the 1st quarter of 2012

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, but you get to choose which tasks to perform.

what are some really good applications for my ipod touch?
Lepra
Could you tell me some good applications and there price (free or however much they cost)
10 points
also some really good podcasts preferably funny cartoon like joecartoon or happy tree friends
Answer
voilá! here they are. (:
free ones:
blackjack run lite - (blackjack/21)
brain toot (free) - like "brain age" for nintendo ds
checkplease - tip calculator that splits the check/tip amongst however many people you tell it to, plus can round the tips up if you want it to
dictionaire: the simple dictionary
easywriter - lets you type emails and stuff with the ipod held longwise, so the keys are more spaced apart (easier to type)
facebook - an essential app, obviously
free translator - a billion different languages
google mobile app - you'll need wifi connection
graphing calculator - graphs better than my ti84 silver edition plus, no joke
hangman
italk recorder - what i use for interviews for the dth (sooo much better than a voice recorder)
nytimes - you'll need wifi connection
restaurant nutrition - because i like to know what i'm putting in my mouth. it has a TON of restaurants and eateries around the nation, and it splits each one's menu into things like "appetizers", "soups", "desserts", "dressings and sauces", "sandwiches", etc. along with each item's full nutritional information
onetap movies - it uses gps to find your location, then finds the closest movie theatres and displays the movies that are playing and when they're playing plus it gives information and trailers on each movie. keep in mind that you'll have to have wifi connection for this.
pocketpedia - if someone recommends a book, movie, cd, or videogame to you, you can type it in and find all its info and ratings, then can add it to a list to remind yourself about it the next time you're at blockbuster or the library or gamestop, etc., but you'll need wifi connection.
shazam - HOLY CHICKEN THIS IS THE COOLEST THING EVER. whenever you're in a store or in someone's car or something and a song comes on that you don't know but you like, just open this app and it listens to the music for 12 seconds and immediately tells you what it is, including all its info and how to download it. it also works if you hum the tune or sing it yourself. it's worked on japanese opera, indian bhangra, and even poorly-played piano mimicry. AMAZING.
paid ones:
bugdom 2 - tilt the ipod around to make the bug walk and stuff--it's a hardcore game, man
crash bandicoot nitro - AWESOME racing game
crosswords
diner dash - one of my favorite games ever, and worth every penny
etch a sketch - take your photos and draw on them, and if you don't like what you drew you can shake it and it'll go away--then you can export your creations via email
everest: hidden expedition - an "i spy" game
flipbook - make your own flipbook--SO COOL. they have a lite (free) version, so check that one out.
iflipr flashcards - again, this one has a lite (free) version so you can test it out and see if you like it. you can make the flashcards on your ipod or online (iflipr.com), and go through them on either as well. you can also look at flashcard sets other people have made. it updates itself every time you make a new set, so when you're walking or waiting in line you can be studying. HELLA HELPFUL. keep in mind that if you make the flashcards on the computer, you've got to open the app on your ipod while you're at home or in a wifi zone to make sure it downloads it because your ipod won't go on the internet at school or outside wifi zones.
imahjong premium - the tile-matching game
sally's salon - like "diner dash"
satori sudoku
solitaire - there's also a "sol free solitaire" game that's free, so you might want to do that one instead...although i love this $0.99 version because you can make it for left-handed people and there aren't any glitches. it responds really well to your fingers, etc.
