I have been an internet junky and all round computer tinkerer for many, many years. Through a bout of redundancy, I turned to the net in the hope that I could find a way to ease the financial burdens that this can bring. Starting out on opinion sites I made a little cash, nothing major but enough to cover my internet costs. More importantly, I found it gave me something to do with all my free time. I had alot of fun and made some good friends along the way.

Having returned to the workforce, I found I had much less time for my writing hobby. But once an opinion writer, always an opinion writer and I try to keep my hand in whenever possible!

Due to my financial stability the need to earn cash online lessened somewhat. I went looking for new challenges and I found them in the form of free online games. These are mostly browser based and work on even the creakiest old computers. More importantly they can be fun! Still feel the need for cash? Well some of these free games also pay out cash prizes, if you are skilled enough to win. Ultimately they can be played and enjoyed for free, however the cash prizes will often be offered to only those who have paid something into the game. Don't let that put you off though, other prizes are also offered to those that play for free to make their experience of the game a little more enjoyable!
