Good day Fellow Mylotters, I always do my best in making extra money. But, what matters to me, due to the continuous decrease of dollar exchange rate, the value of money that I am earning is also decreasing. Though I am earning pretty good but, the moment when it was transferred to PayPal, the value that corresponds to peso equivalent decreases. I really don't know what to feel. Whether I should be happy because I was able to get good extra money or shall I just sit back and ignore the decreasing value of the exchange rate. Why like this.

Don't worry this is but a natural thing just keep on writing so earning will increase , who knows next day or month exchange rate will go up and you have no choice but to be happy with it. So wear that smile now !

that is one thing i won't forget, and that is to smile. hence, i believed if you smile often, the world will also smile at you. aside from that, if we smile too often, life seems to be lighter and becomes easy to deal with. though this situation happens, i see to it that my smile is still visible in my aura.

Don't be disappointed about it, you must be happy having those extra money from your hard work, though it sounds kinda sad that the value of peso is too low but just think that it still a money and money really matters whatever the value is.

Yes, it is called tax... (wait are you referring to tax?) It is just normal in either way you have no way to send your money if not thru paypal. How about the equivalent of it to Western Union. Yes, just be happy and enjoy the time while it is there. Never mind the decrease, if your money decreased by 2x ours decreases by 6x. Just difficult time today... wherever.

Hi there Mavic123456, It is the exchange rate of dollar into peso that I am referring here. As the days goes by, the dollar exchange continuously decreasing. And this makes me sad.

Ahhh yes, if dollars are down, the currency we are not earning (different currency and not peso) will surely follow. Now the more our money had decrease the value.

I surely understand what you're going through especially with the dollar hilariously decreasing. It's indeed a sad fact but I tell you, it's merely inevitable. For us, who works from the other side of the world, it really affects us greatly. However, what makes it a good thing is it inspires us to work hard more and do the best out of what we can ferret from ourselves. We should also be thankful that we are earning despite of these kind of instances. Lastly, doing this kind of specialization requires passion and not just the urge to make money.

good day to you, what you have written in your response is really true. and passion is one of the important factor.

As you said, it's extra payment for you, so why unhappy? It's a extra wealth out of your work, so should be happy to get it. About the decrease, the world enconomy is descreasing, so it's fair for each one, just enhoy the happy, heheheh!!!

though it was an extra earning, it really matters to me since i am not earning that much on my offline gigs. so it really makes an impact if the exchange rate goes down.

I guess that's good for our economy, right? But when we convert dollar to peso, it will get small. Oh, I hope the exchange rate will go up even a little. Just keep on working hard. Who knows the rate will increase sooner than we think. Happy mylotting.

hi there, i can't really say if the economy is getting good though. the dollar exchange rate is decreasing but the prices of commodities are not decreasing. as an effect the peso purchasing goes down. so we need to spend more just to buy a small stuff.

hi, here in our country having a gradually good economy and the value of our money getting have more value,but the sad here is those who work abroad who earn dollar because the exchange rate become more lower and lower so even i have many dollars it will still have low amount when it will change in peso.

I check today and dollar rate is 54.44 and read the news it may fall down till 52. I not spend my time on online work so no stress about dollar rate or mylot earning money.
• Philippines

hi there, besides online, i am also engaged doing offline task. and you have a point, we should also be focusing on some offline task, maybe to add more earnings.

I have a similar problem with the weak dollar against the British pound. However, if it were not for the U.S. we would not have many of these great little earning opportunities so, for that,we should be grateful. We are all in an economic slump but things can only get better, however long it may take.

Hello airasheila, I'm not sure what to say about the exchange rate. There doesn't seem much we can do at worker level about those things. However, not knowing what you are already doing for your primary and secondary revenue streams, I would still lioke to offer a few recommendations: ContentCurrent, Textbroker and Yahoo!Voices. If you are able to write US/UK/Australian English, and write decently, then you can do well with these freelance writing sites. They all pay via Paypal, as well, so it keeps you web-based and portable, whatever life may bring. Best wishes! :-)

hi there betty1989, i do really enjoy all of the things that i am doing. however, it somehow annoys me that the fruit of the hard work that i have done seems to be decreasing in value the moment i have transferred and exchanged them. though i was enjoying the things yet the outcome seems to disappoint me somehow.

It's normal to feel this way. Anybody would not feel good when he/she notices that his/her earnings is dropping, but this is one of the cases that we really can't do anything about. I think that the best attitude towards this is to look at it on the bright side. We are still earning, right? And that's just a blessing right there. With the economy today, any amount earned is better than nothing at all. With regards to the continuous decrease of the exchange rate, there are a lot of factors to consider there. One and mainly it is the economy of countries involved. There are other factors as well. I can't really explain it because I am not really an expert but somehow I understand some of it. If you want to, maybe you could just wait for the value to go up again and then do the cash transfer at that time. I don't know though if it would work in Paypal that way.

This is a sad news for all online earners as most of us are dependent on US money.Though I am proud that my country's economy is being boosted,there is always some despair that my online earning is coming low.My country's currency rate increased by ten points and hence my earnings was increased by a decent amount.Now it has reduced only 1 point ans thus I don't have much of loss like the people in Indonesia.

You must not feel bad about it. Just be happy that despite of decreasing the value of Peso, it helps a lot in our economy. Just strive hard to reach your target.
