Do your friends and family in real life know that you are making money online?

I don't discuss it with anyone much unless they show interest in making money online. I sometimes mention I make a little money online. One of my daughters is into it too but doing different things than I do, which is cool. We have given each other links to check out. One of my sons is impressed at how much I have made online, but he has no interest in doing it. I remember his comment when I got my first referral and made 15 cents, I was excited about it. He kinda laughed a little and said, mom if you need 15 cents I got that in my pocket, he was joking and it was kinda funny. I guess you just have to like doing it to get excited about it and to keep doing it.

Yes they do. I tell them. And why not. A few have even followed me, and are doing it too. I don't let the people with negative reactions bother me. When I get checks or credit on pay pal that is proof enough. I send them links. If they want to sign up fine. If not no pressure.

Oh my gosh I'm leading a double life as well! LOL. I feel a thrill when I say that. I waited a while before I told my mom but she doesn't mind. And plus when I do get paid I always have some money in my paypal account in case she needs to buy some food I'll buy if for her. So it's a blessing that I discovered this. My mother doesn't really know too much about computers. The only thing that she does on the computer is that she plays a game on gamesville.com but other than that no. I'm the only one in my family that does this.

I have no problem telling my friends and family I make extra money on the internet.I've cashed plenty of checks and gotten lots of GC's from my programs.Some say they would like to do it too,but they don't have the time.Anyone who says anything derogatory,I just laugh at them.I'm the one cashing the checks.

No, I have not told my family or friend that I am making some extra income from online yet. I know they are not interested in it and I would want to tell them after I have saved enough money to buy something I wanted or maybe some present for them I think they will be happy to know that I am earning some extra money while surfing here.

Some friends and family I tell, some I don't. Some think it is silly and I don't waste my time talking to them about it. There are others that are interested though, so I will talk to them.

Well, I have a lot of friends and family, both online and offline, etc. that know I am earning extra money online, and such. A lot of them think I am wasting my time, and can never make enough on here to replace a job, etc. I am one who has done many different things over time online. Some of them have taken $$ to get going, and others have been Free. Some I have definately done better with than others. But it is always nice to have another Check come in, or more money added to paypal from time to time. It may not be making me rich, but I also feel a little extra $$ surely never hurt anyone as well. Some you will never convince, as there are some who could never do it even if it sat before them with the instructions, etc. and was easy money to get. They will always think you are wasting your time, and that is OK. But you also need to remember, what works for one person may not always for the next, etc. as well. But I feel it never hurts to try.

Yes I've told my family that I make money online, Not everyone though cause I am kinda in the same shoes as you.. Alot would just laugh at me also.. Think it's just a waste of time.. My hubby thinks that as well sense I use my money for upgrades to make more money at certain sites.. But I do get one just about every month from clixsense and he was very spectacle about it.. But they are good and he's ok with me making money online even though it's really not alot.. Cause every bit does help...

Since I am not making much writing here I haven't bragged much to everyone but my children know that I am here typing away to entertain myself and make the little that I do. I really have never even had a payout yet and yet I do enjoy this and have gotten to like it more the more I have done it. I haven't made any referrals since I really don't know anyone who would "buy" into it except the one who got me into it! This is more a fun pasttime to me than it is a money maker like many who are on here and yet I am thrilled when I am the best answer that someone has picked. My family has always thought that I "lived" on the computer when I had many email friends, that seemed to disappear over the years and none of them has seen the love that I have for being online.

I finally had to tell my husband because he was standing over me all the time asking what I was doing on the computer day and night. He laughed and said it was a waste of time until I got my first check. He ran out and got me a frame and put my first dollar in it. I told my sisters and kids but they are skeptic. My husband runs around telling everyone! He is my biggest fan.

As I was skeptical about actually earning I hesitated when I started. Then I told my sister (I told her I was trying to get enough to buy her an ice-cream when I get to visit her - now she knows I'm into it for real). Then once I started getting some dollars adding up in my Paypal I started telling friends and then, but only then, my son. He is still not really convinced I'm earning so I don't say much about it anymore. One day I'll show him my Paypal if it ever gets to a BIG sum

I haven't really said anything either. I jsut told my husband taht I havve been doing research online to find some extra forms of income from working on line. For now I am tring like a hundred different things until I find one thatmight actually be worth the time. I thought that I had found it with wiseprice.com, they paid $5 a post, but now they can't pay for a while due to the demand of it. But I did make $40, any ideas of good places that don't make you sign up for like a hundred differet sponsors just to get paid?

My friends and family know that I try to make money online. Some of my friends have joined me here but most just think I'm silly and that I won't get anything out of it. I don't care what they think. I just do what I do. I also sell my jewelry and my hubbys sculptures on esty and I published a poetry book that I have online for sale. So all of this will eventually add up and then I'll be more comfortable. Most of my friends and family and I don't discuss what any of us do for work or money. We are just who we are. :)

I've decided to keep that information to myself and just not discuss it with my friends anymore. They have "normal" jobs and are barely able to use their email properly so they don't have a clue what you are talking about. I'm lucky if they even bother to look at a website if I ask them to. And forget about support from so called friends. One said she was going to get a new computer and was going to get antivirus for it. I mentioned that I was an affiliate at antiviru-site-xxxx. Now if this really had been a true friend they could have gotten it there couldn't they? Well of course they didn't. Isn't it funny though that I'm always the one they call when their computer has seized up or something to that effect! So to summerise I don't tell people who aren't really interested in internet stuff anymore because they don't have a clue what you are talking about anyway.

Yes, a few people know. Especially people I've referred to this place or people I've invited to read my blog. My mom thinks it silly, but doesn't discourage me from belonging.

They know I make money, they know I sometimes have money from my online ventures but they don't know exactly what I do other than writing. I like keeping it that way because it's just easier and doesn't cause so many rifts. Besides, I like my online privacy. I don't need nosey family members poking their heads where it does not belong.

yes just one friend...she did not believe mylot will pay for this..but never the less she did sign-up for mylot.i have not received any payout yet but hope it come soon!

Hi, my family totally didn't know I'm doing it now. But I'm going to tell them once I constantly have big profit from it. There are few friends knowing my online business. So, it's really hard for me to find referrals. Sigh.

No one else know it.Even myself know its function of making money after i sign in it.I really can't believe such thing.I intended to make fiends and improve English through it, while to my surprise it gives another benefit.

I just started doing this site along with Ac. I havent told anyone yet . I suppose I am waiting to see how much and if you can make some extra money .
