Online Income

United States
July 7, 2008 7:32pm CST
Hi everyone well this is the first time I have used online sites to start making money, and I was wondering if it is a lucrative business if I put hours into it. Basically I just lost my job due to Andrew Cuomo and the whole appraisal-bank separation, and I need to start finding different ways to make some money. I would like to get some feedback from actual real people that do this for a living and stop reading these testimonies that I believe are fake or lucky. Also if anyone has some links to help get me started, because once again I really don't trust Google, only real people. Thank you.

myLot is definitely not a replacement for a full time job. If you are extremely hardcore you might make over $1 a day here, but that would take most of your day. You need to get a real job and just come hang out on myLot you'll earn some side cash. There are other things you can do online to earn you some extra money. A big one that you can do if you are in the US is freelunchbox.com basically people to pay you to sign up for free trials (or things with a small fee) of things.

Replacing your offline income online is something that takes a lot of time and perseverence, if you think that you what people tell you about being able to make a lot of money over night is true online than you are going to find yourself sadly mistaken, but if you are really interested in just earning some real easy free money each month than there are a number of good opportunities on the Net, send me a message if you want and I will send you information about a great source of finding top quality free programs on the Internet that pay you to use them. You wont get rich over night, but you can earn some truly free internet money as part of a team of global friends working together every day to do exactly that.

Mylot is a good place to earn some extra cash. It won't replace a full time job. Sorry about your job loss. If you are looking for online work, try here. www.genuinejobs.com It is where I found my job. Its free.

Hi, I know what you mean about talking to real people. I quit my job due to some health problems and have been searching for things to do online. I really searched out a lot of things and wasted a lot of time. Fortunately, I didn't invest any money in anything. I guess I kind of knew what I wanted. Long story short I ended up working from home selling health and wellness products. With a small investment. http://healthyself.isagenix.com. I wanted to do this one because I need to get healthier and I'm good at sales. But also here is a site where you can make money without spending any-lemonade market place. Personally, I don't think a person can make a lot of money on this site, but you can make some.

Well I started a discussion about sites I use to bring in a little bit of income every month and sites that actually ship free prizes and I made it open for people to post their sites as well. (Here is the link: www.mylot.com/w/discussion/1595121). As for replacing a job, the best place to go is Ebay.com or Amazon.com. I personally use ebay to bring in some extra money but the only way Ebay can replace a fulltime job is if you buy in wholesale lots (a lot at one time to get it cheaper per single item). The old saying "it takes money to make money" is soooo true for Ebay. There is an online gold mine on Ebay but it takes some money to get started. If you are in need of further info just message me. I hope this helps.

Mylot and no other site will give you a steady income that can replace a normal job. Even if you put eight working hours into it daily it won't supply you with enough money to pay the bills and do your groceries. It can be a nice extra but nothing more. Also, there are a lot of scam sites out there you should watch out for. I've been paid by mylot several times so I know it's thrustworhty and that's why I keep being active on mylot. If you post good quality responses and good quality new discussions you should be able to make a nice buck ;)

If you like writing reviews, take a look at "Review Stream". They pay for reviews about a variety of topics. It won't be a big earning, but still some income while you are looking for other options.

mylot is not a replacement. It is only a replacement for people who have nothing better to do except blog all day and have another person supporting them. Think of it this way if you can do 1000 replies a day with 40 words each you can earn $20 a day. That would take a lot of time and patience even some odd job is better than that. There is one place I know I forgot the address but it is a lot like rent a coder but it is freelance jobs where you do small jobs on a whim it could range from rewriting articles, designing logos, transfering excel documents to pdf, coding a website, etc, etc. The pay can range anywhere between $1-$500. Alot of them are $30 or $1 per 100 word article rewrite. I don't know how genuine it is yet but from the looks of it it seems genuine. I can look it up if you are interested I have the email somewhere.

Most of the sites aren't genuine as they claim to be. Avoid spending lot of time over the internet money making business. Ofcourse there are very little sites which are genuine;use them when you get time but dont rely on them for a complete earning or full time based opportunity.

it is not the most lucrative to begin with. you'll probably need a day job. but it does pay... like anything, it's work. and if you want to make any real money on mylot you'll have to put in the time. just like at any other job.
