Broken Gold will pay you for your old, broken, or unwanted jewelry. In addition to gold jewelry, they may accept other items such as platinum and sterling silver. To begin, simply visit their site and request a kit. They will send you a pre-paid envelope that you can use to send them your jewelry. Broken Gold will then send you a check immediately after receiving your package. The amount you will earn depends mainly on the weight of the items. If you are not satisfied with the amount paid, you can return the check within 10 days and receive your jewelry back.

CafePress is a custom online shop that anyone can use. First you create a design that you want to sell, then you receive your own personal online store where you can sell products that feature your design. Some examples of products you can put your design on are shirts, mugs, posters, bumper stickers, and many others. A basic shop is free, and CafePress handles all billing and returns for you. CafePress gets a standard cut for each item sold. You set the final price for each item, which determines how much profit you will make. You are then free to promote your personal shop on your web site or anywhere else you like.

Ebates gives you cash back whenever you shop online. They list hundreds of well known merchants for you to choose from, and each will offer from 1% to as much as 25% cash back for purchases you make from them through Ebates. Some merchants offer specific amounts of cash back instead of a percentage. Ebates sends out a check every 3 months to its users with their accumulated cash. If you already do most of your shopping online, you will likely be able to receive a significant amount of cash back by using Ebates. Currently, there is also a $5.00 bonus just for signing up.

eJury is a site that allows you to participate as an online juror for a "rehearsal" version of a real trial. This is so lawyers can gather feedback and work on the strategy for their trial. As an eJuror, you will be asked to review the facts of the case and then answer a series of questions about it. The process is done entirely online, can be completed in about a half hour (on average, but the length of cases varies) and pays $5-$10. After signing up, there is no obligation - you can participate when a new case shows up, or choose not to. To apply, you must be a U.S. citizen who is not involved in the legal profession.

Freerecycling.com is a recycling company that will pay you for your old (empty) ink cartridges. They will also pay for old cell phones, provided the phones still work and are in good shape. You will earn anywhere from $0.10-$3.60 each for the empty cartridges, and in the range of $4-$30 for cell phones. The site provides lists of brands and part/model numbers that they accept for both items, along with how much they pay for each. Note that you must be in the United States to sign up.

Google User Experience Research pays you for testing out Google products - some still being developed - and providing feedback on them. There are several ways of providing feedback, and you choose in advance which ones you are interested in. You can participate entirely online by filling out surveys about the product. You can also speak with a Google researcher on the phone while trying the product, or even visit one of their offices. Google pays an ample $75/hour for working with them in person or over the phone, with studies usually lasting 1-2 hours. The amount paid for surveys is less, and varies depending on the particular study.

Mahalo Greenhouse is part of Mahalo, a "human powered" search engine - think of it as a cross between Google and Wikipedia. When you enter a search on Mahalo, you are presented with a page of relevant links that has been carefully designed by one of their guides. At the Greenhouse, anyone can apply to be a PTG ("part time guide") and help design these results pages. You will be paid for each page you build that is approved by Mahalo. Pay starts at $10.00 per page and scales up to $15.00 per page as more of your pages are approved.

PickyDomains is a site that helps companies and startups decide on a web site name for new projects. Anyone is free to sign up as a contributor at PickyDomains and then help suggest names. If your suggestion is the one chosen by a company, you receive $25.00. If your suggestion is not chosen, but is creative and has some potential value, PickyDomains may register it. They will then try to resell it at a higher price and split the profits with you.

Scoopt is a media site operated by Getty Images that allows amateur photographers to send in newsworthy photos from their digital cameras or camera phones. Scoopt will then market your photos exclusively for one year to the media and other publishers. You will receive a 40% royalty each time your photo is purchased. Photos can be of current events, sporting events, demonstrations, natural disasters, or other items of interest to the general public. Scoopt is available to photographers all over the world, though people living in an urban area may have an easier time finding the type of photos that Scoopt is looking for.
