Okay this may sound a bit too over the edge but here goes. I'm a web designer by profession, and out here in my country that doesn't get make me into anything. Live paycheck to paycheck and the pay is so low you can't even see it if you bend over. I've been trying to find the easiest alternative to earn some money online. But everywhere I go I either get burned or can't even afford to start anything. Been online for years, and I gotta be blunt. There are people made for online marketing and I'm absolutely not one of them. Too much fluff about anyone can market online. That takes some talent in marketing. Some make it appear like a carpenter can do an electrician's job like its a walk in the park. Not everyone can design websites right? So I don't see why everyone can market online. Anyways, is is possible to start earning money online with basically zero money and no marketing skills online? Happy posting myLotters!

Hello Wolveren,
You mention that you are a web designer by profession, why don't you try to create a website of your own to show cast some of your skills in designing website? So when people visit your website, they can see what you have and might consider hiring you to be their web designer?
There are some online web hosting services which is totally free, such as 110.mb, which you can try out. Believe in yourself and you will be able to do it.

Thanks deltasswat. Yes I planned to do just that soon. I've been putting that off for years. Geez, heard of a carpenter who never had a house? All too busy with work and all that. A web designer who never had his own website that is. But I'll get to it soon, I hope. I plan to have a website that totally gives away a lot of stuff for free. The works. So that I could help others start out free online. Happy myLotting! cheerios!

jfxrsch, I think I'll answer your question even if it isn't directed to me. Free blog services are those site that you can post your blogs for free. Free hosting services is where you can park your website. your website can be anything you want and will not be limited to the limitations of what you can do in a blog. I hope that answers your question. Happy myLotting! Cheerios!

I have heard and learnt from the various sites that we can make extra money on line and the proofs shown shows people making money. I am not a technical man but are a Good web designer why do not you try to work out some software which can generate money for you and others. One my own nearer has developed some software for the websites running and he has left the job with the multinational of 2500$ a month and he says that what ever I need and when ever I need I get by selling the websites and that software and his average is more than 5000$ a month. How do you feel and think comment and have a nice day.

You'll start earning money with myLot and that didn't cost you anything so you're already on the right track. Keeping looking for opportunities and trying things out and you'll do well. Make extensive use of free sites so you don't have to invest any money of your own. If you make a blog, use blogger for example.

Hi you don't say what country you are in..
There is a new social netwrking site I have just joined last week
It pays $4 for referral, $3 for your friends referral and
$2 for their friends referral. Cost to you NONE.
Right now they have a set up for U.S. citizens to be paid thru WAMU bank (direct deposit) But they are going to have an international bank set up by october 1st
(which is less than a month away.!)
I Have already received my 1st Payment Yesterday into my checking acct. So I KNOW they are Not a SCAM!
If you are outside the U.S. you can still join and get refferals and they will accrue in your acct till October.
If you are interested in checking it out further - I have a link to the page on my profile (under my pic)
Joining this site is a NO BRAINER!
Good luck

Yes it is actually.
It's not very much for now but worth it to get some additional income for my situation.
Every little bit helps.
I'm a stay at home mom myself and enjoy being able to earn some money in my spare time on here and doing it on some other ones.

Check out my website for links to sites that pay. Have you thought of making like layouts for websites that are already made? The thing about make websites is that there are so many build your own website programs that people use.
