I haven't been here on Mylot in a while, kind of for a reason. I have been SO burned by the internet its not even funny. I'm not here to bash any programs or online businesses, but honestly seeking to make an income on the internet is really a dead end in the hood to me. I'm not saying I didn't do some things wrong, sure I have. I jumped in to too many things head first, not taking the time to learn. In the long run, I realized I NEED to take my time and see if something is worth, time, money and effort. That could mean a few years before seeing a real profit in aome companies and I guess I'm just not that patient. I'll stick to my real job for now, which is serving my country well & it happens to pay the bills. :) I am having lots of fun on Yuwie, god knows I'm not making any money yet.

There are alot of sites like that. I guess that's one thing I like about MyLot...it may not pay alot but it does pay and allows me to feed my piggy banks. I've seen alot of sites that just suck money out of ppl and then shut down and walk away. MERRY CHRISTMAS!! **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I'm sorry that you haven't found something that works for you. Most of what I've been able to find on the internet is just giving me some more "fun" money - not anything that will pay the bills. And I have gotten into one area that actually cost me a bit of money. I've decided to concentrate on my home-business for extra money to help with the bills and all. I still spend a little time on my internet stuff, but it just doesn't pay out well enough to put too much time into it. You gotta go with what works for ya!

Good luck at whatever decision you make... Earning money online is not as easy as one thing to be...you need to research and try

Hi ebusaf! I too have 'proper' jobs but as a hobby I earn online. I'm having fun and it's time consuming but well worth it. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you but as you say it takes a lot of patience. That I have a lot of! Happy posting here on myLot!
