Have you ever visited a site called Contest Beat? This is a blog that highlights new online contests on a daily basis. Most of these contests tend to have cash prizes.

Like the Blingo search engine, this is certainly not a reliable source of direct income, but think about how great your chances of winning something would be if you found new contests to enter every day. You’d have a better shot than the people who aren’t entering different contests every day. That’s for sure.

You may not be interested in every single contest featured at the site, but your bound to find some that will sit easy.

You can also find good marketing ideas through some of these contests. For example, yesterday Contest Beat featured a contest from Marketing Pilgrim, in which that site is giving away an iPod to someone that subscribes to it’s RSS feed. Think of all the potential subscribers Marketing Pilgrim could get from this. Those subscribers could turn out to be worth more than the iPod to Marketing Pilgrim’s business.

Either way, keeping abreast of current online contests can be a great way to nab some extra dough.
