Hi Kamil83,
Have you lost your job? If so, I'm sorry and hope everything works out for you.
What can be done to pay the bills when one loses their job? Answer: go back out there and look for another job even if it's on a part-time basis.
The internet can be a lifesaver - it's possible to make money online to deal with money worries, but it's no guarantee. It might be better for you to look for another job in the offline world alongside trying to make money online.
take care...

Hi, thank you for the response. I did not loose my job, i resigned when i got an offer from a producer to launch a demo cd of mine (Trance Music) Its a brilliant album i think but anyway, the deal fell threw and now i lost a possibility to make a lot of money! I tried going back to my old job but they are not willing to help me since i quit. I need to take care of my girlfriend who is sick and pay the bills at the same time. If I can earn $800 a month i can survive, so if anyone knows a way to achieve this, please share with me.
Kind regards,
Kamil Basinski.

Kamil,
I guess you could try writing online. There are people out there looking for content. You write an article or blog for them and get paid for it. I started writing for others early last year and made over $3000 doing that. I know it doesn't equate to the $800 you mentioned that you need every month but it's something you might want to consider giving a go.
The following sites might help you:
- chrisblogging.com
- ravens-writing.blogspot.com
- freelancewritinggigs.com
- bloggerjobs.biz
- jobs.problogger.biz
take care and good luck...

if you want to survive in this society, you gotta work to pay for the bills. So when you lose your job, better look for a new one as soon as possible. So sad - this is the reality.

You can make enough money online. But I don't believe its enough to make a living. Hasn't been for me anyways. I have three jobs, run a farm pretty much full time, and am getting married in August. I only make a little under $100 a month. Not enough for my bills that's for sure. I'm guessing you'd have to spend all your time online... That's not worth it for me. Family and friends are much more important...

We are really suffering from crisis right now. So we should do our best not be remove in our job. It is not easy to look for another job. If ever that will happen, but hopefully I won't be remove, I will search for a new job.I cannot depend my online earnings to pay my bills and help to have my basic needs. i admit to myself that it helps in other way, but not as regular as your basic salary, so we cannot depend really on the internet. even we joined hundreds of sites but if we can't manage it, it will be useless. so if you want to have a better income in the internet, make it sure that the site you belong is really legitimate, just like mylot.

These are hard times with the recent recession we are in, I really feel sorry for anyone who has recently lost there job and have little or no income. I dont think the internet is the answer to try and make the same kind of income a full time job would. Sure there are a few lucky dot com millionares out there but as for earning a living online fulltime, I dont think it is really possible except earning a little extra pocket money.

My husbands company got hit pretty hard last year by the economy crunch so his work slowed down alot, at least it kept him going but not much, it brought in some money and he also will travel for another company that he works for luckily when disasters hit he can go work out of state....but at the end of the year last year things have gotten so tight that i started to look for work online, as I have 2 kids, 5 and under, so it wouldnt benefit me to work out of the house and pay a babysitter.
so I hope there is some work on here that we all can do to help our ourselves.
