My biggest motivation is having the opportunity to stay home with my children. I have three kids and now at days, I prefer to care for them myself than to leave them with others. Besides, there doesn't have to be a motivation, with expenses going up everyday..gas, food, housing, etc....money is essential.

It used to be just for extra money but the more time I spend on the internet, the more I want to make it a full time job. Afterwards I realized just how much I HATE my real job. What a sickening feeling! Hows that for motivation? LOL

I am seriously going to try to make lot of money. haven't succeed yet, but I have learned lot of about making money online. It isn't easy and if you want to succeed you must do lot of work and have some luck also.

I'm not really working yet or anything but my greatest motivation has got to be my parents. I see them everyday, working so hard just to pay for tuition and all the basic needs in life that I can't help but want to help them earn money. Even though these online sites (like mylot) don't pay much, at least I know that I'm trying to help ease their pain. I'm thinking of being a regular in ebay this summer because I'm gonna go to college this june this year. And I'm still on the lookout of positive and potential good money making sites here in the internet. =) And another motivation is trying to prove something to myself. That I can earn something even on my own. I think that would be great. Hehe!

My motivation for wanting to earn money is my own self esteem. I have always worked and supported myself but because of an injury I had to retire and now I am on a pension and I hate it. It isn't the not working so much as the fact that I have to divulge all my private business to get a pension. I am a very privat and independent person so this makes me feel very uncomfortable. It would be lovely to make enough so that I could stop getting a pension.

Well,hear,hear!
Most of us are talking about hating our job and here you are talking abour hating to receive pension.
Truth is, I can relate to it.One of the reasons I hate my job is because it ties me down so much and all it promises is a not so reliable pension when in the words of a song " I am too old to work and too young to die".
I hate the idea of having to live exclusively on pension.
I led my in-inouse union for about eight years and the most excruciating fight I had to conduct was with a management that was monkeying with the pension account.I suffered for it but I regret nothing;my motivation was strong enough to bear it.
My dad retired in 1988 and did not get his benefits on time. One day he was down and I had to accompany him to go and request for payment of his benefits.The officer in charge looked at us cursorily, asked when he retired and when told 1988, he quietly dropped the bombshell :"well, we are still dealing with those who retired in 1984.
With that,I am sure you will appreciate my admiration of a friend I made recently who retired 30years ago and had so made up his mind that he never one day requested for his retirement benefits to be paid.Unfortunately the man is averse to his story being publicised.From the little he volunteered though, the secret is that he got into real estate on the sideline.Smart old man!
My own motivation for making money online is to be able to retire early,thereby spending more time with my family.(Currently I stay the working week away from them)I am making my basic extra incone in shares though and hope you are taking a look at that too.
I wish you all the best in your money making efforts.

Financial security, independence, freedom from reliance on someone else for monetary support, and last but not least I don't want to be a statistic. I don't want to be just another person in debt

My motivation in making money online is that I wanted to save even a little money. Even $100 dollars a month will be okay for me. I wanted to have a house and lot so I am trying to save money for the payment of the equity and the rest maybe I will just loan it in housing loans. I am planning to have the house and lot within five years.

I was into mylotter by chance. Heard about it and I log in. I was informed that you can earn also, so I tried, but I noticed the pay is low and it cannot sustain my needs. As I go along, I like the discussions with other people like you. As to pay I hope it will pay more. And who dont need extra pay nowadays. I am working and I have my regular pay but extra pay will be a great help.

Well I am earning money from some 3 months or less. I was a member only of clixsense before so I didn't make much. Now I have joined several more sites and I am trying to make as much money as possible so I will upgrade on different sites and earn more money, or I will buy referrals. That's great option to buy referrals because if I earn money on one site I can invest it on the other one or buy referrals and then just make a little bit more money. That's what motivates my. Alone it's difficult to earn in 1 day even for a cup of coffee but with referrals...

I multi-task when it comes to make money. I have a side business in promoting computer repair. I also work as an IT PC Technician troubleshooting computers in a real estate office.
But then I also make money online - often on Mylot. I'm growing more with it - learning new things, learning the tricks, the secrets and referring more people to use it to make sure they are also active.
I also use Yuwie - for my blogging and referring people to Mylot - that's a bigger opportunity and so far I have referred 5 members from Yuwie to join Mylot. They love it and they are earning.
There is so much strategies, methods and ways to earn money by multi-tasking. So far I am saving up money because pretty soon I plan to start a business back home in the Philippines - that is my mission and main goal.

my motivation to make money in the first place is to better myself and my families situation.
we are doing ok, but to have an extra income coming in however small is a bonus.
i have joined loads of sites and reffered people to them and all these little acorns end up in my big tree somewhere along the line.
i would like better for my family, winning the lottery is not an option as there is like a gazillion chances to win it, but if i did i would be over the moon.
i am not a material person and dont have to have the latest gadgets but would like some nice things, but the most important thing to me is security.
knwing that we dont have to scrimp and scrape money together to pay a certain bill, looking down the sofa for an extra coin that could make a difference.
to have a little money put by takes away alot of stress for me, i dont mean in the way of having 1000s but an extra couple of hundred.
so when that bill does come in we can pay it.

My motivation is early retirement.
LOL
I'm only 23 but I have already worked in some fields that paid quite well. I am trying to take the experience I have from the real world into the online market. I am particularly interested in all of the forex and penny stock trading programs.
I have always had a love for trading so when I found that I could do it online a few years ago, I've been going ever since.
It is a long hard road that sometimes you lose sight of the end but as long as you keep your eyes forward you'll always come out on top.
