I have been hearing a lot about people who are making hundreds or thousands of dollars a month just by sitting in front of their computers. They click ads, post for money, read paid e-mails, due online offers, play paid games, paid for blogging, etc. Nowadays there are so many ways to make money online, the only problem is finding the right ones and of course getting a good downline of active members you have referred. Would you quit your job for an online income? Have you? Tips? Please respond I would like to hear your thoughts about this :-)
P.S. I always rate all responses and comments + (positive). :-D Please return the favor lol!

I have heard so much about this online work. Everybody wants to earn and earn. Some who are already doing full time work they are also doing the same in their free time. But I have heard only that the sites are giving payment I don't believe on this. Some user are telling us the site to log in so tht they make the chain and start earning. But I don't find anything genuine.

It is good that you are so cautious and suspicious but you really are missing out in making some extra money in your free time! You have nothing to lose really, but a lot to earn! If so many people claim that it works for them then why not believe them? They can't all be wrong ;) Message me if you want legit sites that WILL pay you, I know a guy who is disabled and has no choice but to live off these sites so I know they actually pay ;-) Thank you for your response :-) Rated +.

I am currently working a full time income online. I made over $1,800 last month and have made over $432 so far this month. You can check out what I am doing on my blog- http://achieve-financial-independence.blogspot.com/

I don't think I would. I think I'd continue to do both for as long as I could, but if I had to choose, I'd choose an offline job. I like the idea of working from home, but it isn't stable enough for me. Not knowing where income is going to come from the next month is not good, and you never know when a website is going to shut down, etc.
I'd appreciate a good online income, though.

Sounds like the good life but I have heard that those seminar things are scams, then again before I new about these online money making sites I most likely would have called these scams as well so you never know. Thank you for your response :-)

At this moment, I'd probably NOT quit my day job. At least with my day job I know I'll be making a certain amount every month, whereas an online income would be unstable. Having said that, there have been a few people who are able to generate a constant (or growing) income doing the GPT websites. A lot of things have to go right, though. Having a downline is good...as long as they stay active.

Yes these are some points I have made in the previous comment and thread. Online incomes are unstable and you never know when a site that supplies a large part of your income might shut down or something. It isn't easy or guaranteed but it is possible! Thank you for your response :-) Rated +.

Yes I will choose to quit my job and have an online income even though I really love my job now, because if I had online income I can work from home and have more time with my kids. I just start to have online income but the money I had still less than my day job. if my online income already get higher money than my every job, I will quit. so I guess I still keep find the right online income

I guess if it were possible to earn enough to support my family and live without a budget I would quit my job. If that were possible and there were benefits, then I think I would. I would have to be sure that my family would have financial security. I wouldn't want to risk retirement benefits and income. I just think all that stuff doesn't pay enough to live the lifestyle most people live. I think it is okay for a part time second income, but I would not try to live on it or support my family doing it.

I understand it is hard for people that have a family to feed and care for like you do and need a stable, guaranteed job that pays you well. I think this might actually work for people that live alone though to pay rent and bills! Thank you for your response :-) Rated +.

Yes I did quit my job to stay at home and work online but I only do it part time because that is all I need to do.

If I am earning money by just sitting on the computer more than I earn from my current job. Then, I quit my job... and continue doing online stuffs that pay. How much money we make is the first thing to consider.
P.S. I always rate all responses and comments with this sig (+) too. :) lol

I won't quit my day job to make money online because after four months of working on this paid website, I have only made $20.57. It is very little compared with time I have spent here. I like mylot very much, but I will never quit my daytime job, which is my real career. I only take it as a spare-time money-making job.

Yeah I also hearing a lot of people who are making money online. For me I wont give up my day job because the income is regular unlike when you are online you are not that sure that you will generate a lot of money all the time. I just take mylot as a hobby and wants to earn here as well without quitting my regular work.

Yeah if I had a day job then I totally would not quit. It is a lot harder to make $5 an hour online! myLot is also a hobby for me and I only post in topics I actually like and do not post for the money. Thank you for your response :-) Rated +.

Yeah, I heard it is a bit hard though. But it is very good for those that are disabled and can no longer work so they just sit in front of their PCs all day and make a lot of money. Also this is good for the retired folk to make more money. Thank you for your response :-) Rated+.

Of course not. Internet surfing like mylot is just a hobby and monetary benefits is just secondary. Secondly online income cannot be relied on as you'll never know who will pay and who will deceive their members. It's just a consolation if you received something from them.

Yes well, usually the people that do this is because it is what they enjoy. They feel comfortable in that environment and they like it. That is why I said that your job means more than the money, you should like what you do. Thank you for your response :-)

Hi! This decision has already been made for me. Since my daughter was born I've had only online jobs. I don't make a ton of money, but enough to help and more than I would make if I had a job outside the home and had to pay for daycare, work clothes, lunches out, gas and wear and tear on the car, etc. I really do consider myself fortunate.

Yes, I would! I'd do it in a heartbeat! I hate getting up every day and going to work. I hate all the stress and attitudes that go with it, so, yes, yes, yes, I would. I am trying some programs on the internet now, and if I start making a decent amount, that I can actually live on. I'm kissing my job good riddance!

Oh yes in many countries PayPal is not allowed. Can you possibly use e-gold or receive a cheque instead though? Maybe you should ask on here how other members from your country get paid from such sites. What country are you from if I may ask? Thank you for your response :-)

No Never. I would never leave my job.
They told they are earning 1000s in the net. But I hardly believe. It's very difficult at least for me to earn even 5-6dollars in a day, so leave the 1000s.
So i would better stick to my current job. These sites gives me a complete freedom to earn and learn in my free times.

i'd probably quit my job if what i was making online would be greater than what i currently make. it would give me the opportunity to be with my kids (a four year old daughter and a 3 month old daughter)and earn at the same time. but i really can't participate that much in these get-paid-to stuff since i live in the philippines, and most of the offers are not available in my country. i do like participating in paid forums and mylot, wherein you can get to voice out what you think and earn from it at the same time.
