3 ways to make a quick buck online when your bank account is low

Sure, all of us “make money online” bloggers talk about building audiences and developing networks and blah blah blah. But sometimes you just need a quick bit of cash to make the rent. Here’s a few ways to do it.
1. Online casino bonuses
In the business, this is called “bonus whoring,” which sounds dirtier than it really is. Basically, you exploit various poker and casino sites and their sign-up bonuses. A vigilant person can turn a $20 profit in a couple of hours just by signing up for a few sites (usually no playing involved). A Google search turns up numerous sites that catalog such bonuses, such as Bonus Whores.
2. Bank accounts
A lot of banks are now offering cash bonuses to open accounts. Usually there’s a waiting period before the money is credited (for example, 10 days at Chase to get $50), but, hey, it’s free cash. Many offer bonuses of $100. Open a couple of accounts here and there and you’ve made a nice piece of change. iBankDesign keeps a good list of current bank bonuses.
3. Credit card bonuses
If you have decent credit, and you’re willing to take a small hit on your FICO score, signing up for a couple of credit cards can net you a few bucks. Just recently, Chase was offering a $250 bonus (sort of) to sign up. Do a Google search for “credit card bonus” to find a plethora of offers.
