Surveys don't make any money. In fact most of them just pay in merch. Guru isn't so good because you'll notice a lot of East Asians they can charge considerably less. In order to make anything you need clients but that is hard to come by.

Professional blogging and online writing does have a future. Search engine results are changing so that websites can no longer rely on key words to get to the top of search results. You can be hired to be a professional content provider. What you need to learn is how search engine optimization (seo) works. It is helpful to learn a blogging platform or two like wordpress. You can start by writing articles for places like ehow. They pay enough for a cup of coffee, maybe. The point is to build your experience. But don't apply until you understand how seo applies to writing. You may do better as a guest blogger or professional content writer instead of having your own website. The problem is you have to generate enough content to get people there and there are startup costs. A content provider writes for other people. It is a growing market thanks to seo.

All of these skills have learning tools that are both good and free except for your time. Google provides a lot of free learning tools. The wordpress community is unbelievably supportive. They say once you get started it takes about three years to break even and about five to make a living. That's an average. So don't expect it to happen overnight. You will probably have to keep your day job for a while. I would plan to have some pt jobs along the way too. It is totally doable though. Check out meetup for wordpress groups and local resources for additional help with setting up a business.
