Many people are looking for ways to earn extra income.
Some people want a fulltime paycheck with parttime hours. Sadly, that is not a reality. And then there are those individuals who want a fulltime check for no work done. Pure fantasy.
Alot of people indicate they are making some extra money with various programs online. What works for some people does not always work for others.
Other people prefer to make an extra income outside the home. They might work in fast food, or a nursery, or delivering newspapers, or sales or other type of industry.
What about you?
Do you prefer to work to make money online or do you prefer to work a parttime job outside the home?

I have a Fulltime Job -working 3rd shift answering phones. as you can imagine- it is sometimes not so busy 3rd shift answering phones.. lol
so I am also able to combine the time I am at work with " my part time " online work. which mainly only consist of a few sites.
and I make a little here and there. MULTI-TASKING! -It works very well when there are just not enough hours in the day!

I make some money from a few of my sites and are working on a few more. Getting ready to take a 5 week DHP (Displaced Homemaker Program) course next week so that I can ease back into the job market.
Been out of the fulltime job world for 5 years, Hubby says I don't need to work but I want to work at least parttime for now because I don't like being away from my doggies for so many hours.
So I am looking to change my venue towards the area of Criminal Justice or Criminal Investigation from an administrative or computer aspect.
There was just an opening at a local police department and they also had a loss prevention spot open at one of the local dept stores.
So I will take it day to day and see where the road traveled takes me.

I work more than fulltime outside the home, and I try to make a little bit of extra income online. Right now, we're in a every little bit helps kind of mode.
I think that once we are out of debt I am going to slow down a bit.

I have a fulltime job. So working parttime outside the home doesn't work. Therefore I have a few different websites that earn me a little parttime income. I've been lucky enough to earn about $100 per month from an affiliate program. I hope to get a little more time in order to increase that next year.

in fact, i like to work outside the home,which will give me more chance to keep in touch with people,you know ,in this world,we can't live totally by ourselves,we need to talk ,to communicate with others,to express our feelings to others,we need listeners,to pour out all our emotion or feeling.working outside just provide us it.of course,we can do something else in our spare time.

True, the socialization is important to stimulating our thoughts, our opinions and perspectives on various things.
There are some individuals who are homebound and have no choice but to stay in their home, so they are looking to make a bit of an income online in the best way that they can.
They are not able to socialize face to face with other people, only electronically. But it works for them because it is communication of a sort and they are maintaining internet friendships that they can look forward to each day.

I make my main money by running a daycare in my home. I love the hours I work~ 7am-4:15pm. I get lots of stuff done in my house during the day and am here for my kids when they go and come home from school.
As for the extra money I make, I make it online. It isn't worth it for me to get a job outside of the home as I would be paying a babysitter to watch my daughter. This way, I can work online while my daughter is playing or after she is in bed.

Hey congrats on your home business! You are able to work in your home and
be there for your child. And when your job is over at the end of the day, it is still a bit of daylight so you can spend some time with your child.
The flexibility allows for you to have some "make money online" time as well, as much or as little as your time allows.

I have a fulltime job outside. So, in the evening times, I have time to work online and make some extra income. Writing is my hobby, and that's my preference for extra income. There are a number of possibilities for writing online.

I got an opportunity to earned a small amount of money from online job. This is my part time job now. But I still have an outside job. You know when you are leaving in what we called "Third World Country"...yeah you need to do both... working fulltime outside to have a regular and monthly paycheck to sustain the expenses for the everyday needs of your family and sure you want to work online and in my case in its only a part time just to have a little extra earnings for some extra expenses...but above all I'll make sure that I still have time...quality time to spend with family...So I prepared both. Have a nice Day.

To me,I d rather like a part-time job ,so that I can get a lot of time to do what I interest. A fulltime job is so boring and you need to see the boss's face and earn a little money . But what should I do to solve the problem faced to me now,I have few time to do anything for the full time job is so waste time.
