I really want to work online but the salary is too low and I have to find another job for replacement. Furthermore I can't be alone all day. I will get bored. I imagine after the decease of my parents and if I still insists to work online, I won't be happier either than spending my time in the office with colleagues. I only feel happier when there is no boss around even though there are colleagues. At least with colleagues we can talk but at home, money is low and boring. And in the office is not happy too but the money is sufficient. I want to know is there anyway to make more online. I will be happier if online money is sufficient. I don't like ptc or gpt. Something like data entry will do. But it must be legit and pays.

Hi Choi Yee
It is always the case when working online, we can't get paid much for it. It is just an extra for us. I thought you are doing well in giving tuition. How's it going for you? Did you try applying for a librarian job?
You know, if you have a hobby or a passion for something, sometimes you can turn your hobby or passion into a business.

Its just two hundred for tuition. So I am lack of money. But I still opt for flexible job at least I have freedom. Have a nice day!

Choiyee, if you are already providing tuition, then I sincerely think that you could consider intensifying your schedule to make things work out. Conduct more classes or have more students. Consider also approaching tuition agencies for placement. As Jlyn mentioned, the money online (unless you have a wide reach and a big fan base) is going to be at best meager, at worst not worth to even think of.
In a sad way, when we work, we exchange our time for money. With tuition, you can still balance between flexibility in the schedule and the load you are willing to bear in exchange for the payment you get each month. While you are at it, slowly build up your web reach too so that who knows, one day, it may be as you so desire, to have a stable and sufficient online income.
Be of good cheer. We are behind in your endeavours.

You are not going to find anything worthwhile right away. Also, keep in mind that you may or may not earn the sufficient amount you need for a month every month. It's best to just keep your job and try your hand at online earnings on the side. This way you have a bit of a cushion to fall back on and can save a bit more, it might come a time that you get promoted in your job so it's not as stressful or it's different for you, or you may have a time where you've saved enough money to quit your job and look for another one.
I think the best way to earn is through blogs, but it takes months to set up and sometimes even years.

Yes that's what I am thinking right now. My mind is upside down now whether to focus on online or offline.

yeah me too. I always wanted to work online so i dont need to go out. I just stay at home. But the main problems is the salary. Youre lucky if you find the great one. And as far as i can see, people who only earn big online are those people who is really good at softwares and all. And those designers. I have a friend is earning great online because of his skills. But for someone like me. Grr!!
Anyway i have a blog in my profile you can check it if you want.

Yes those people who are good in software probably will make a lot at home even they don't go to the office.

If you have enough capital why not try to invest in the stock market? Many businesses that were involved there in addition to easy, always update (analysis & technical), almost all online transactions and reliable. Myself never go directly to the index (Hangseng (hongkong), Kospi (South Korea) and Nikkei (Japan)) until now. "High risk high return" all depends on us (without a broker). If you have difficulties in terms of funds you can apply for a loan to the bank. Have a nice day

Umm, I think it's a good choice if you have enough money to deposit. High risk high return!

Hello wongchoiyee,
For me this online stuff is new as i was searching for some online paying stuffs i found MYLOT after searching for around 3 months and believe me MYLOT is the single site which i joined till date for online earning. I know its not that easy to earn online as most of the sites would ask you some registration money and won't guarantee you to give work or if give work won't assure you to give money for your work.
But then there are some people who are earning handsomely online.I don't work that much online as i have good offline job which takes care for me and my family.Its wrong to leave offline job for online job till you have some special skills.
Also i would suggest if you have planned to work online don't get disappointed in the starting as there can be slow start and it may happen that you earn very less in the starting.Also try to join many of the earning sites at a time to get more income.

Good to know you have a good offline job. Many people are complaining on their jobs these days.

i feel alone also doing this online work. if only i have some friends that can visit me daily so i won't feel alone while posting here. but my friends are not allowed to stay at home for few hours daily or even visit me daily. so that is why i don't invite any one at all at home. and yet also i don't think that they have the time to visit daily. but if they have the time to do so i cna't invite them over also. just pretty lonely i would admit.

I can't live on my income outside of normal work. At least not yet. Some things I do are buy dividend stocks ($30/mo residual), make lenses on squidoo.com ($15/mo residual), Fusioncash.net daily emails and website and forum ($25 every 3 months), Swagbucks.com ($10/mo in gift cards), Chase freedom credit card rewards program ($25 gift cards every 4 months).
Hope you will enjoy some of these ways too.
