Making money online..... Laziness?

I am a writer and I am not lazy. I was working outside before I married and during the first months of my marriage, or rather most of the time was LOOKING FOR WORK. I have been telemarketing on the phone and after that I was delivering fliers and sometimes they would be very heavy and I almost broke my shopping cart a couple of times. I prefer working on my home, doing mylotting, writing on my novel, practicing my singing, doing my housework, cooking, and cleaning. Now I am free from the fear of being laid off, the fear of my boss not being able to pay my wages, the fear that somehow because of my gender or that I am not a tall blond that I do not look enough for a receptionist, the fear that the chemicals they use is dangerous to my health. I always get dressed and I budget my time so that I am not all day on the computer, but why should I defend myself to you?

I think its probably a mix of a lot of different people. I'm on the stay at home mom side. Even if I wanted to work, till I would pay for daycare I wouldn't be making any money. Plus I would have to find a job that would allow me to be here to put my oldest on the bus and be home to get her off the bus.

It's not about laziness but other source of income online. Lots of people are earning hundreds and thousands of dollars online. Having a 8 to 5 or 9 to 5 job is good but it's not the best out there! I have a regular job but I plan to concentrate online later. The potential is so huge that we can't just ignore it.

Hi nice post no i dont want to earn from online sites i want secure and regular income some interaction with people going to office u might earn enough online( not in my case) but its not counted in ur experience and sure limit to it So i am here for fun and friendship Take care

I work full-time (at work right now) but unfortunately got into some bad debts and am looking for extra money. Since I have a family too, I don't want a second job that would take away from time spent with them. Online is easy to do since I'm in front of the computer most of the day. ~Tink

In my situation i can not work because every penny i make in the real words comes from my husbands pocket so whats the point of working my a$$ if at the end is not worth it. thats only till i finish college and get a real job like well-pay not a min payment job.. this is why i look to earn some money online, i have to be at home all day long so instead of watching tv i rather try and make some money.

I think most of the people here try to make some money in the time they get as free time. i have a real job. i am active here only when i get some time. i like friends here, like to browse through discussions here. Its nice to have some little income as well.

Well for someone who did not want to offend someone, you did a pretty good job. I really think that you owe every one who works on this site and apology. No one needs to qualify their time with you. Maybe you are felling bad about yourself because you have to work online to make ends meet. I do not know what the problem is or how you could be so narrow minded. Have you ever stopped to think that maybe some of the people that are on here are not able to go out and work, but are doing the best that they can for themselves. Well for your information, I am disabled and I take offense to this entire topic and you are no longer on my friends list.

Well for me its just simply something I do on my down time when I'm bored. trully enjoy mylot, its not so much about the money. I dont think their is anything wrong with people wanting to make money off the internet, if they can make money and survive then go get them! I dont really call it laziness.

I'm only 18 and I want to sign up for membership on an MMORPG and since my parents won't pay for me monthly, I need to try to get a few bucks a month to pay for it myself. I don't need enough to get a real job plus I have school so I just do this until I get about 6.95 every month and that's that!

I would rather be self employed in e-commerce type situation. I don't have an online biz now, but if I did it would be a create it first (cooking or art) and then market it online. Hopefully the creating part would occupy the majority of my time, marketing would be secondary.

i do not think making money online is lazy, it just a method to work ,it can save lots of time what u spend on road. u can decide when do u start work or have a break , u can take any ways what u like to work ,it make work more flexble and full of freedom.

making money online is a hot job for those who are free..they are not lazy they are just utilizing thier time

It depends to another people, for me as home mom, i can earn money.

I do take offense to your comment. Im currently on disability because Im going to have surgery in a couple of months and Im far from lazy. At least Im on here making a couple of dollars. I would crazy if I was a telemarketer.

what about those of us who are dissabled and no longer able to work out side the home are we also lazy you said "I would go crazy is I sat at home all day on the computer, every day." well it drives me crazy having to do this also but unfortunatly like many of us I dont have much choice anymore

I'm by no means lazy, but I have scoliosis (spinal curvature) and arthritis, making it impossible to stand for more than a few minutes at a time. Walking is difficult, too, unless I have something to lean on and even then it hurts after awhile. After spending nineteen years raising my children, I'm now single and receive spousal support but have next to nothing in retirement as my ex-husband saved next to nothing for our retirement because he wanted a lot of material goods. I have enough to live on but I need to throw as much money as I can into retirement funds. I do what I can to make money online and it all goes into savings and retirement. It's not much but it might make a difference between poverty and some level of comfort. I've tried to get jobs but everywhere I don't get the job I see they've hired younger, prettier women. But I still keep trying. I don't take offense at your question; I've often wondered the same thing myself until I was faced with the necessity to make some sort of an income then found myself physically unable to do many things. There are so many scams on the internet, the scammers are the only ones making any real money!

Instead of saying that I am offended by this, I am going to say that I respect your ignorance. I am a stay at home mother of 2, and spend quite a bit of time on the computer with profit. I am in no means a lazy person, nor do I neglect my children. My house is clean every day, laundry's done, kids are clean and dinner is ready when my husband gets home from work. I choose to spend my free time earning extra money for my family to be able to vacation and take my kids places, buy them things, etc. and not having to justify the expense by taking it out of our savings. Word to the wise - I don't sit in my jammies all day either, although if I did, I don't see anything wrong with that either.

I do not know about other people but for me its a way to make some extra money to augment a very small social security check. I did my stint in working for twenty some odd years and am now retired. I know I am not lazy but I am handicapped and as such working now is almost impossible what with a leg in a brace and a useless left arm as result of having had a shoulder joint replacement plus nobody wants to hire a senior citezen with handicaps. anyway I enjoy doing four different surveys plus being on mylot. as for being on the internet and the computer all day yes it can be very boring but given my druthers I would rather do this than go hungry or have to borrow money from my son all the time. as it is he pays all the rent and utilities while his mom is just doing surveys it hurts me that I cannot any longer help with rent and utilities as I did when I was working I retired at age79l

Well, you are right: staying at home all day does drive a person crazy! that's actually why i try to make some cash onine. I have been very ill for the past few months (well, years actually, but its gotten worse) and I actually had to drop out of college because of it. I never know when Im going to have a bad day or what time of day I might get out of bed, so I cant have a real job at this time. I have to live at my parents house for now, so I do things online to give me some connection with the outside world! Plus, a little extra cash is always nice.
