I dont really make extra money online as such as my only income is from my mlm business that I have been doing for about 5 years 3 years as my only income.
I get about 4 times a normal jobs income online, and I get a little bit extra from blogging and various other income streams but primarily on my mlm business

As a family of 6 I find it is always necessary to bring in some extra money. Especially since I lost my full-time job right before Christmas. I've never reached payout here, but I do several other things that I earn gift cards and various other things on that I can sell for cash. I also sell things on message boards, and occasionally on ebay if I know what I have to offer will sell high enough. My eventual goal is to be working completely from home, but with the economy the way it is I'm thinking it will be a little while before that happens.

Yes I am online making a little extra money, the economy has hit me pretty hard. I lost my job. I am on prescription assistance to help with my medicines. I have been searching for other ways but have not had any success in that. The local newspaper don't even have a help wanted section any more there are no jobs and nothing to do.
I do get a little extra from internet earnings.

In the current situation of market jobs are not readily available to anyone.
Everyone has some dreams.
Some of those dreams require money to fulfill.
That's the reason why I am trying to earn money online.
Due to this recession I have lost my job.
Just doing something to earn money online.
But still I have not received a single rupee from online business.
Have a nice life.
Bye

even those people who hold down daliy work and have a good income also worry about how to earn more money, for the ression do not bring them safty also.

there are lots of scam and cheaters on the line also. best wishes and happy mylotting also.

First of all,we have to think about the present economy situation of our country and our payments. According to my view, day by day the rate of living cost is going over and over. Again we have to think, is our earning sufficient? So we cant wait for some one give us money. So , in addition we have to think extra money.

With the economy the way it is, and so many job losses it is so hard to find a job. So I too spend many hours a day on the internet to earn money. MyLot being my latest adventure.
My extra money helps with the bills, and groceries. There is no buying what we would like, only necessities.
So what are you doing for extra cash, let me know.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs MaryLynn

I know, just a few years ago the only people you saw trying to make money online were the lazy people who just wanted some sort of get rich quick sceme. Then before that the people trying to make money online were the webmasters that had a really good site but needed some help keeping it online and running. Now, everyone is trying to cash in on making extra money online. But it isn't only online income that people are crashing into to try to make a little extra cash... 4 years ago when my children's father and I first got together he was a security guard, but it made so little money that he was also dipping into junking. Back then, you had to have a truck you didn't care about and even then the only people doing it would be what in my neck of the woods we call a 'redneck' Haha. But, a few years into using this as our extra income to get by, suddenly the 'junk' we were hauling for people disappeared! And the little we were able to load up and bring in was worth far less than it was before. It would seem that people were just dipping below what they thought they were too good for to make some extra money, thus driving the worth of what we were selling, way down. Now, my kids dad does home remodling on the side. It's a little more skill that is involved and if he accepts cash he can charge less and people are always trying to save money too! Haha. I am a little worried that with the mad rush everyone is making to make money online that the payouts will drop, I have heard that it has already happened at Cha cha, but in the mean time, what can we do? We really hardly have a choice if we want to make a little extra on the side.
