How Long Do You Spend Online Trying To Earn Money?

Hi all, I keep reading a lot of posts from people who say that they earn x amount of money online. I find that I am earning a pittance compared with others who do the same GPTs, PTC/PTR,PTP etc. I also find that I am spending hours day after day and have little to show for it. I am having a terrible time getting referrals for any of the programs that I belong to and am getting VERY frustrated. (I have one at CashCrate who I can't get a hold of through email to encourage to participate.)To the best of my knowledge I am spending on average about 6 - 8 hours a day,maybe more and earning less than a $1 a day. How many hours do you spend online and what do you do to maximize your income?

I am not that much actively involved in making money but still manage to make $30 a month. I spend around 2 hours but I am not reguler at times and that make my income go slow.

I'm actually new to all of this, and am really looking forward to finding LEGITIMATE ways to make money online - I've signed up for quite a few of those "survey" sites, but so far they're not really doing much for me other than taking up valuable time that I could be using for other means of making money. I would honestly appreciate any tips that anybody would have to offer me on how to go about this in the best way possible. I don't want to waste my time on schemes that don't work, or get tricked into some scam. I have plenty of spare time during the week, as I work 12-hour days, w/a 2 day on, 2 day off type of schedule. I'm really hoping to turn this into a nice part-time job that can help supplement my income!

how much time i spend online each day to earn money varies greatly. i first check my email inbox to see how many survey invitations i have and do every one of them that i can get done before i have to run errands or do household chores. sometimes i have alot and sometimes i have a little and then there are days where i have none but that is rare as i have been doing this for 3 years. if i get all surveys done then i come to mylot and start discussions or respond to discussions for about a half an hour or so. then i go to two other sites where i earn money for about another half hour or so. so i spend about 1 1/2 to 2 hours daily on average. i make about $116.00 per month doing this but would love to make more. it just has not happened for me that way yet. i am always looking for ways to increase my earnings as workin outside the home is not an option for me at this time.

I spend like 4 hours in a day on earning money online and I find that as a hobby that I can do when I am bored and only chatting with friends trough msn or surfing the net. I found out that I could earn some money while doing these things too ^^ Not sure how much I earn per day, because it wont be the same for each day and sometimes I earn almost nothing at all. But in average will I earn $40 in a month and I am hoping to earn more after a while so I can save it up and spend it on something that I really want or buy a present for someone that are close to me

I am a new member here,these days I spent average 6 hours a day online,but earn very little money.I can not imagine how to earn 3\4\5 dollar a day just like some other people. However,the important thing is learning english here, earning is extra harvest.

I work long hours anyway so I don't get much chance to spend online trying to boost my income. I like to relax in the evening so just spend about an hour most nights online. I'm at work from 8.00 till 5.30 though so I usualyl don't have that much energy as I use the computer quite a bit at work.

Hey there you may want to try www.mturk.com its not a referral. Sometimes they have alot to earn and sometimes not. If you worked 6-8 hrs you'd definetly have more then 1.00. Let me know how it goes.

The money that I will earn here is just a bonus, not that I will rely on this. Sometimes it depends, my hours varies. 2-4. There is no way I can commit myself here all day.

It's almost 12 hours a day and 7 days a week. I search a lot for making money online. Finding a job is hard for me since I have no work experiences. I hate to say that. I feel I am the worst person. Spending too much times searching for making money online positions is not a good way to find the right way to get rich. Online money making will not make you rich anyway.
