Internet has got great opportunity of providing steady incoming, if you look keenly and joined this sites which are paying and genuine, do think you can make good money out of it.
My take is that am considering internet to be my second and big source of income, I just need to reorganize myself and come up with a plan on how I am going to do this. I believe that with goals and determination I will earn good money from the internet. What I need is to consider it as my alternative career. What do you think or am just dreaming.

This was exactly what I was thinking about, making internet as the major income source, but I don't think it is easy to do. Of course I didn't think it is impossible, because I really think it is really doable, and I believe if I strive for it I would get it anyway. With hard work of course, but I don't think it is possible to be able to make a real living, for the whole family without really having a good planning about online making many program

It is not easy remember for every reaction there must be equal action, for you to earn good money from the internet you must put equal effort that is directly related to your earning. You can make a living out of internet there are so many people doing it you just need to identified the one which are working for you, get focus and set achievable goals.

Great Idea homie! Ur on the same path I am on! The net can be your primary source of income, but draw up a plan and stick to it. Make steps toward that goal everyday, make sure ur doing what u should to reach your goal. Trust me, it'll take time, but it's well worth it once u have your business self sufficient!
Ur actually in a perfect place, in my opinion. I'm working on something with Mylot that I think will turn this site totally around, for us users!

Although I would like this to be so myself,I think an online business should'nt be the only one.I think either a good job or another business out there as well as an internet business would be ideal.Working entirely online is rather attractive though is'nt it? It can be done,it is a lot of hard work but once it is set up I am sure that it is unbeatable.At the moment I work both off and online.If I could myself find the type of online business that can make me a lot of money, enough to pay for a good life for my family and I, then that will be the day that I will begin to work online exclusively.

It's certainly possible. But not without a lot of hard work. It can be difficult staying focused when you have to put the effort in independently. You need to set goals for yourself and make sure you reach those goals every day. It will definitely take a lot of hard work though, unless you can build a massive amount of referrals for the programs you're under. I'd say you would have to put more hours into it than you would if you were working full time.

although there are alot of money-earning opportunities on the internet, i don't think people should take it as their primary source of income. some people might have earned so much from different internet sites but we can't still say that i would last for long. we should still look for something that will give us more stable income rather than those which are unpredictable and unsure.

No. I don't think internet online income opportunity can become our major source of income even we joined some genuine and paying sites. We still need a stable job. I think it can only become a extra income to supplement our steady income. Beside, online opportunity requires a great amount of our time and even then, we are guarantee to get payout every month. And to top it all, it is time consuming and it also can cause us our health problems i.e. eye strain, back pain, lack of sleep etc.

It has been my primary source of income for the past 6 months. working a "real job" wasn't an option for me since I have two little kids and the price of daycare and gas and the misc expenses of working would not even make it worthwhile! (I'd be working for a dollar an hour!) My hubby has kept a real job while i explored making money online, so that helped tremendously, but someone could easily make money online even while working a second job.
It is all about how you decide to make money online and finding something that works for you. There are so many opportunities, I don't understand why everybody doesn't just make money online!
It gives you so much freedom, and while yes it is still "work" - the other day I did absolutely nothing and made $$$. What could be better than that?

Well, I think for some it could be. I have friend who has been earning online for the last five years. He has no job and what he earns online is more than enough to provide his family more than what they need and want. But he usually sits in front of his computer all day. It's just like working in an office at a standard working hour, the only difference is he has no boss. He can decide whether to to work or not anytime.

I think it's a foolish mind for me to earn money by internet.I like to do some true work in life.And internet is just a relax place for me to do some extra work.

I don't know what you mean by foolish mind, but one thing I want to asure time is coming that even work you saying or seem to be sure to you will be done online, it is just the right time for you to realize that we are in the information age and everything is going online. Wake up to this reality.

Income generating opportunities in the internet for me at present cannot serve as a major source of income.This is because there are a lot of scammers still present in the internet.And there is no stable income genrated from the internet.Well, that is my point of view.Having a regular 8-hour job is still the common and usual way to earn income.Money from the internet is not that great.

I beleive it can not be a major source of income but when you've started and earning is picking up why not, it can even be more than your current earning in the employment sector. The only thing is that you start with it as a part time job for some extra income as you gain experince and once you have become guru, it replaces your job. I belive the only way to travell the world world in a second is through the internet.

I think there are many opportunities that you can get a parttime-job!There are also much information on the internet and you can not tell the truth of it.So be careful to find a job on the internet!good luck to you!

Hello, Oderog.
I believe that, one day, Internet will really be a great source of income for me. For now, I have no sources of income, since I am still a student. But one day I'll be wanting to earn $1.000 monthly only from the Internet. Converting this into our money, it would be a good ammount, considering I'd earn it without even having to leave my own house.
Yes, planning is a big step to take. But it is not the only one. You need to have a certain vision. Internet works like an investment, but you must be good enough to know where to put your money.
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

No, I don't think I could earn a lot here. I also don't think it would be enjoyable. I like meeting people in person and having the actual products in front of me. I'm not a very techy person so even though I know that the internet can be very profitable, I just don't think this is what I want. Unless of course I make millions on the internet then i won't complain about it at all. :)

It's possible though it may take some risk, hard work, dedication, effort and time that's why I've never consider it as a job nor a stable source of income, you may consider it as a part time job or extra money. You're just dreaming if you want to get rich quickly it may take some years, so be patient. Again, it's not a career but rather just another opportunity to earn some extra money online.

Don't you believe that dreaming is healthy and drives somebody to the set objectives and goals, even your job you have to put effort just to earn a decent income. Nothing come very first as you have said, it will take time but as long as you have I dentified particular areas put your effort and determination nothing under this world is impossible, everything will happen under the sun, only need somebody to try for it to happen.
