I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with my online earnings. I made about $15 from Mylot, and $150 from ChaCha. Well the $15 isn't much, although it helps. I just don't know what I want to do with the $150. I am thinking of paying the power bill with it, that was $130, that way we don't need my husband's paycheck to cover it, and that will free up more funds for Christmas shopping. Or I could use it to pay on my $350 layaway, which will make it easier to pay that off on time. Or I could use it to finish (or at least add to) the Christmas shopping, so I don't have to worry so much about whether or not hubby's paycheck will give us enough for that.
They're all good ideas, although I suppose the right thing to do would be to pay the bill and get that out of the way, since that is the more important.
How much did you earn over all this month, and what are your plans for that money?

Nobody has found a way to earn a real paycheck legitimatly through the internet. Most sites will pay $5 to $10 a month. Mylot is a good one, I usually earn over $10 a month if I'm on here everyday. ChaCha is also good, but they've just changed their policy, so it's a little harder to earn money now.

Online has various opportunities for earninjg.
But most will not pay enough to support a person.
I make about $20 to $45 a month here being on myLot about 8 hours or so a day.
It can be done but not a lot of cash so far.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I have not made that much online other than on eBay this month. I have made around $75 on eBay so far this month. I did close to $200 last month, so that was nice. All that money goes towards bills or stuff the kids need. I have some Christmas taken care of already. I got my son's main gift, so I just have to worry about a few extras and my daughter. I will probably use some eBay money for that.

That's not bad, I think it will pick up now that the holidays are coming, people will be buying gifts from e-bay. Good luck.

Wow $150.00! Good going!! I havent made near that much but it is going toward Thanksgiving dinner.. lol Takes lots of food to feed kids and grandbabies!
If I happen to make anymore this month it will go on a bill. As we are trying to pay off a credit card and things just arent getting better money wise.

Ah yes, Thanksgiving dinner would be a good investment. Hopefully I can cover that with hubby's check. I can spend $200 a week on groceries (for my family of 7) so our Thanksgiving dinner will have to be included in that. If it's tight we'll just have to plan cheaper meals that week like spaghetti.

I just let it sit in paypal at the moment, we have no debts other than the mortgage and as the wages my hubby earns covers that anything I earn outside of that is all extra. I am thinking of letting it build up til next year and then I will pay it towards our holiday next August.

That is what I got fed up of, it just always seems to be a worry at the end of each year and stress is definately not good for us you know!

That's a great idea. I am seriously going to have to do some thinking about saving for next Christmas, I'm so tired of being in a bind at the end of every year.

I just started with this whole money online stuff. I'm publishing stuff on Associated Content and then doing stuff here on Mylot. I'm looking for more places. What is ChaCha?

I just joined ChaCha a month ago, but it appears to be going downhill now because they just made some changes and now it's harder to earn. At least I got this much out of it, but I probably won't continue now.

That sucks. I just went to the site and they aren't accepting anyone new. Oh well. It was worth a try. Do you know anything about Neobux.com?

Haven't really been keeping tracking. I am in the process of changing from a working outside the home mom to a working at home mom. I do ChaCha, a bunch of GPT sites and I am still looking for anything to make me extra cash. I also do surveys and point sites. I have my own website about how I make money online. Check it out:

Sorry you guys are just going to have to copy/paste the link!
Good luck to everyone earning money online!

Please do not post those sorts of links on Mylot. Doing so is against the TOU and will get the entire discussion deleted, making all of the people who participated in it lose their earnings for that discussion.

If there is a way to edit I could delete that part of the message. Sorry.

I might make $50 this month, and whatever I do make I've decided to put into my newly openned sharebuilder account. I'm going to buy some stocks really cheap while the prices are still low. This is just "extra" money for me so I wont really miss it too much if my stocks don't do well.

I've got a little over $200 from chacha right now. That is low for me though, but ever since they implemented the 20 question limit for their users things have been slower. I hopefully will use it for black friday shopping, but the bills are piling up so it will probably go for bills. Depressing.

I would love to do some Black Friday shopping, but hubby has to work early that morning. I'll probably be too broke anyways. Too bad I'm going to have to grocery shop that day anyways, arg!!

I'm going to save it until the 15th of December for my Christmas shopping. I was supposed to receive my CIAO payment but when I check my PayPal address, I found out I entered the wrong e-mail address so I guess I won't be receiving any payment from them until next month again.
But it's all good, at least I know they do pay based from the many discussions that I've seen here in MYLOT on how happy they are for receiving their payments already.
I would probably buy my mom and brother their Christmas gifts with the money that I'll be getting from MYLOT and CIAO next month.

Well I finally recieved my AlertPay Cheque of US$427 on Tuesday, I banked and converted it to New Zealand Dollars, $721.
I gave $50 to my nephew and 2 nieces, paid the Power Bill, $200 and the rest we'll be spending on anything we can eat and drink :) It's been a rough year this one, so treating ourselves seems the best way for everyone to enjoy my Cash Out

I have only earned about twenty dollars this month. I will be using it for necessities because I can't afford necessities much less Christmas gifts. I don't earn much more than that in any given month. I have been trying to be more active lately and hoping that the money will get better.

Well, I got £20something from homepages friends, and I bought a PSP game for about £15, so I haven't got much left of that. I also managed to get £10 of amazon vouchers from a survey site (thats-what-i-think.com) and so I've bought an album for £7 or so (free postage and packaging!). I'm expecting another £10 amazon voucher from dooyoo.co.uk soon, and I'm probably going to buy another album with that. But right now, I'm off to buy something from cd-wow as I got an email from them with a free £1 voucher, so I may as well take advantage of that, and perhaps use my SliceThePie earnings.
But don't think that I get this much money each month, it's just a coincidence that I got payout from various sites all at once. Until this month I'd been getting only a few GB pounds each month, as I'm not really a serious earner.

I'm saving up for something special this Christmas. I'm thinking of a new digital camera which I can now afford thanks to a few month's worth of earnings. I've already requested that a transfer be made to my account, so hopefully I get the money soon! I'm so excited, whee!!!

You made $15 per month? I'm a newly user of mylot. Is there any way to increase my earning fast? As mylot is a very good web for we people to talk and share experience. If i earn that much of money, i can use it to buy things, pay bill etc.
