I have browsed different online jobs but they are asking payment. I don't know if they are real or scam. My friends say that if a site is asking for a membership fee, it might be a scam. What do you think about this? Is there any mylotter who is already working online?

If they want payment, then stay away from it. I don't see the point of actually paying somebody to work online. It'd be like you working at some store in your town but they want to pay them upfront to get work. I really don't see a poing it but that's me. I've not joined many sites but I have been paid mainly in the form of freelancing. I've not paid a fee for it at all. I would trust your friends on that to be honest.

Not all sites that ask for money are scams. Jobs that ask for fees are scams, yes, as you should never have to pay for a job, just like you don't pay for one in real life. However, online businesses generally ask for money, but that doesn't mean they're a scam. If you were to start a business in real life, you'd have to invest some money into it to get it started and keep it going. The same thing applies to an online or at-home business.

I work for Cha Cha and it’s a great, flexible way to make a little money at home while taking care of my son. I help people with internet searches either through live chat or text messaging. It’s super flexible. I can just log on whenever and do as much or as little as I want. Depending on the questions I usually make around $4-$10/hr.
If you are interested and want to find out more email me… I’d be glad to answer any questions.

Like everyone else has said, if they want money up front, it's a scam.
If you go to work in an office building for a company, they don't ask for money, do they?
Same thing with online jobs. The real ones do not ask for money up front. They don't need it.
