I've always heard that making money online is possible. I'm pretty sure that is possible because I've tried several methods but the only drawback is that I needed to shell out money I don't really have.
I see all kinds of money making methods online and I've tried a couple from article markteting, to PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising, blogging, Adsense, etc but I've nothing to show for it. I've spend hundreds on these so called expert gurus with the million dollar step by step methods but I have yet to make anything, even $5 bucks would give me some kind of confidence.
I know there is no such thing as "get rich quick" stuff but can anyone show me any kind of program that will allow me to make money without spending money? This site so far is the only site I know that can make me money but it's a very slooooww process. Any help or advice?

Well, in most cases, the making-money opportunities that requires you to make an initial investment, tend to generate money faster, that's always been the rule in any business, not just online.
Money-making opportunities that requires less investment or even no investment at all, usually requires you to invest something else, which is time.
I think it's a matter of people having to perceive this rationally, if you want to make big bucks, you must be willing to make the small investments.
PPC site for example, most of them are FREE, you can signup without paying anything. But you look all the effort and time that you need to put in to generate money afterwards.
Some entrepreneurs say that time equals money. Why fear investing money to generate more of it.You don't want to suffer putting in so much effort and time to earn so little after. Better to invest some, and earn better.
But with paid forums like MyLot, you can now use these forums to generate that little extra cash to start off with. You then invest your earnings in other money-making opportunities that can generate more cash. The reason is, you can spend time here on a consistent basis, earning money, without actually working for it, because I'm sure online socializing is something that you'd do for free anyway.
A more specific suggestion is. Make some money here. And use your earnings to do a proper internet business. Grow it. You know, with a website, a product, customers and everything. If you want more specific details you can ask me.

u cannot get rich or make big money in online if u are impatient but u can earn a steady income. i has been earning about 150 monthly and thru my own efforts. i can double it but i am not trying hard enough to get referrals. it is only recently that i started. i started alone by trial and error. some sites pay while some dun. some is easier to earn while some are not. so the most important challenge is to choose program that pays well and really paying. if u are interested. drop me a pm

I guess it depends how determined you are and what you've tried so far. I am making $400 a month from my blogs. All I did was write stuff that is good on keywords and can rank well in search engines. I also do sponsored posts, which I make anywhere from $5-$25 for because my blogs have good page rank.
I learned all of this without spending anything except my $7 for a domain name. :)
But if you want to try other ways to make money, check out associated content - I make about $40 a month there now, and do not do anything much except write an occasional article with good keywords. I am just deciding to try squidoo again, maybe now knowing what I know I have a chance to make money on it this time through. (My first few lenses have earned me 24 cents in the past year, which is not too encouraging!)

u can start with sites like mylot and reviewstream, make some bucks and invest them in PPc n all , adsesne too is free if u know the free ways of marketing.
maoney makes money.. thats a fact.. u got to be very dishonest person to accept that ... if u want to gdo biz u got to invest n take risk .. and yes time also comes ..
if u dont want to invest then just find a good job and get paid monthly simple ;)

i have a simple rule. if you have to put out any money do not join. i have joined plenty of legitimate survey sites that do not require any money and i make money each and every month. i am diligent about checking my email several times daily so i can get in on the surveys before they close. it really helps us and i am able to work from home and be here for our son which is why i do it. and of course here at mylot you can make money just by posting and starting discussions. it takes alot of posting to really have it add up but you can do it. just keep trying to find the right sites like i have and stick with them. compile an alphabetical list as you join them so you can keep track and when you find ones that are a waste of time or not worth the effort make note of it so you do not waste any more time. also once you join many of the sites have links you can send to friends or family and if they sign up you get points or money so that is another way to make more. good luck to you.

Didn't think it was possible myself but I thought I'd give it a go and I have tried various free sites and put them to the test. I have reached payout on various sites and been paid by them. I update all on my blog regularly, the link is on my profile page...
It is possible and I have got £115 in my PayPal account and a handful of vouchers to show for it and that's for hardly much effort in past few months as I hold down a full time job and look after my daughter by myself so my spare time is rare compared to others...
It is possible, just a little effort here and there... It's more of a hobby for me and I enjoy it:)

I work for ChaCha.com you can really earn some money through there, if your performance is up to par. They dont hire consistantly, so i'm not sure if they are right now or not, but you should check it out.

I have made money doing surveys. I have also made money writing for Associated Content, Review Stream, Ciao and Triond. Of course I am also posting here as well. Oh, I have cashed out at Inbox dollars 3 times and Clixsense once. I have never spent any money.

Of course it is possible to earn money online without investing money. All you need is time and effort. Some even earn $500 or more per month by just doing online jobs.
