What are you doing online?

Some people come to make money, meet people, get entertained or just surf. I am trying to find out what people's reasons are for coming online? What do you do, what draws you, what inspires you, where do you hang out, etc. Everyday millions upon millions of people come online and I would love to know what your reasons are. I am so interested in this I actually started a site about it. So it a few words tell me why you are online? What do you do, where do you go? If your response is really interesting, you are welcome to share it on the site found on my profile.

My online activities are searching and doing research, submitting articles, blogging, posting in discussions and networking. Everything I do online helps me to earn money, or I am paid for doing it. My motivation is not just the money I make, because I really enjoy all that I do online.

Well of course I enjoy my participation at myLot, but my main activity is writing articles and submitting them at Helium, where I can sell to publishers or earn daily revenue share and upfront payments.

Out of all the things you do online, what is your favorite? How much time do you spend online. Your profile sounds interesting.

I spend a lot of time online and use it for so many things. I am a UK expat living overseas so use the net to watch TV and listen to the radio from home, read local news, keep in touch with my friends and family. Increasingly it is also a tool for earning money, not quite enough though as yet!

So it's a bit of a life line for you? I am guessing that skype has become your friend as well. What places have you tried to earn money? How did you find mylot?

I spend most of my time online reading and writing. Yeah, that's not very original. But I keep in touch with my friends via IMs and blogs and I write a lot. I post entries to my blogs, I write reviews and articles for money, I participate in discussions on mylot. That's for my constructive time spending . But I also watch youtube clips, watch tv episodes (I switched from tv to computer :)), watch movies, play games... I relax online.

Okay, I feel like it needs to be said. YouTube steels time like nothing else... Thankfully lately I've been able to stick to watching the videos I sbscribe to.. Nothing else... That helped As to the reviews, yes, it's coming surprisingly well. Hell I'm surprised by how well it goes. I write for ciao (it pays better, though I write for reviewsream from time to time as well). if you want to try it, I can give you a referral link (if you dont want to use it, I can link you to the sde without the referral thing :P 's cool)

Hi Khushal_dabhi, So your primary activity is social networking and making money. A lot of us are here online for the exact same reasons, and trying to do the exact same things. Do you find that some places are better than others for social networking and making money?
