I see some people telling others on mylot to get a real job, but some of us have jobs. I just want to know why do mylot members want to make money online. Do you have a job and you want to make some extra money online? or are you unemployed and the money you make online the only money that you are making?? I am a full time student and I've been looking for a job for two months and I have decided to make some money on the internet, I am planning to get a part time job and use my online earnings to pay my bills, etc, I hope to make the same amount of money that I used to make when I was working full time. What is your story??

I want to make money online so i could help my parents with their debt and just to make life easier.Also with the online money i earn i can save money for later when something happens and stuff.I also have a fulltime job but i do not get the chance to save some money.

Here's my story: I have a full time job which I don't like but I have a mortgage to pay.(actually I share it with my girlfriend.) But with the insurance going up and the minumum amount on credit cards going up I can bearly afford to pay the bills and have any money for myself. My girlfriend is a CNA and she's pretty much in the same boat.She wants to start working a double shift to bring in some extra money. I can't do that and I can't see getting a second job because I work from 7:30 to 4. That's why I wanna make money online

I've been fired from a few jobs in the past few years and so, as a result of this have come to feel that the days of full time employment or "iron-rice bowls" as we say in Asia are long gone. I get enough free-lance work to keep body and soul together but I can't guarentee that I'll always have those jobs to keep me alive.
Since I spend alot of time of the computer, trying to develop a new source of income online seems like a natural thing to do. It's like, you can't really get rich on PTP sites but at least the few extra cents you make here and there can add up and deliver a resonable lump sum when you need it.

i work fulltime, and am a wife and mother when i get home, so my days are really full and BUSY. but i am constantly looking for other ways to earn extra money...my ultimate goal is to be able to be self-employed, and i feel that i can come up with capitalization earlier if i work and earn extra online...the extra income is always handy for emergencies, too, or for a few luxury items that we normally would not be able to afford...

Trying to earn some extra money. I lost my job and I have an interview next week. Gotta supplement until I am employed. The job I'm interviewing for doesn't start until July. Sigh...

I try to make any extra play money online. I figure if I spend time on the computer making money it will help cancel out the money I spend on toys. My budget is fairly tight right now so there isn't a lot of extra money. Instead of going into debt my girlfriend and I work on making extra money various ways most of them online and then we us that extra money to have fun.

Here's my story. I'm from a small island in the Caribbean called St.Vincent and the salary I get from my full time job is just enough to pay the bills. I never wanted to go to University although all my friends are going - not saying that I didn't consider it but a year ago I discovered the opportunity to make money online - had little success until recently when i joined this membership site.
Although all my friends pressure me to go to University or whatever I really have my life planned out and I plan to make this a full time effort. I have never told anyone that I am making money online except those close to me like my sister and my girlfriend. What is really cool about it is that I made more money in 15 days (May 1 - 15 than I make in a whole month working a full time job and its just increasing. My goal is to quit my job when I have at least 6 months what I make at my job in my bank account. That could mean that I'm quitting my job in 6 months time.

I am a professional and I am having a pretty decent job from where I am making good money! The amount of the money what I am getting from this site is nothing when I compare the time I put in! If I put the same time in my job and convert into money then the earnings what I am getting here are practically nothing for me , as I make some hundred folds more, what I am getting here!
I am here basically enjoy the form and participate i the discussions which I feel have a relaxing effect after a days hectic work !
Now though I have completed my 700 posts, I am paid very little , which is even less than my one days pay! So for me it really don't have much of importance to earn from this forum ! I feel elated and have some sort of thrill when some cents are added daily to my Mylot earning! Thats all ! I don't dream to make fortune from this site as I know the limitations of this site and so I am just enjoying here!
Thanks for initiating such a nice topic of discussion! May God bless you !

Wow- I hope that you have somewhere other than mylot if your goal is to supplement your income to what it would be working outside the home- Good luck with that!
I have a full time job as an accountant. I like this site because it is fun- You learn things about people and other places- and they pay you while you do it- How great is that? I'm banking my money I make and cashing it out right before we (3 friends) go on our annual Christmas shopping trip in November. How cool would it be to start and finish shopping with the money I make from mylot!

I'm just a high school student who wants money for an expensive doll collection. Yep that's my honest answer. Strange, I know. I realized that earning money online is actually pretty hard for a person like me. So I just like to enjoy discussions now instead of thinking all about the cash.

First of all lets start with the assumption that every one wants to make money. The next question is, what channel would he pick to do that.
I think that the Internet is developing. Let me share an example with you:
I can take a product or an idea and try to sell it in israel, but we have here only a few million people, and in the Internet we have a few billion people if not more, from alote of places, so my chances are bigger, if i do it on the right way.
Also you do not have to drive everywhere and go from place to place in the Internet, it is more convenient.
I know that i work now on a part time job, because i am a student, and i did not really start working on an Internet project that will bring me money. but when i will start i will choose, or at least my first choice would be through the net.

i'm a full time student and i just finished my final exam last sunday.I'm currently looking for a part time job this holiday which is now until 5th july.But before i get a part time job,i still can surf mylot and make money from here.The reason why is i want to buy stuff online which is difficult to buy in my country.So,i just try this website and other money making websites.

I have nothing to do, that's why I have looked for sites that can pay me and now I am here in myLot. Before, I used to play scrabble online but there are only few people who are online during weekdays so I just decided to look for ways to earn online.
I just want to do something that is worth while instead of surfing the net getting nothing in return. I know I can't earn much from here but at least I am enjoying for now.

I am a stay-at-home mom, and when we made the transition from having two incomes to just one it was really rough. I'm making money online to make extra money to help pay bills and buy groceries. We could survive without me making money online, but it would be really tight.
