UPDATE: Living comfortably from internet income

Well...last night I sat down and tried to calculate my potential make based on how much time I would be able to put in, and truthfully, I would still only make about half of what I make with my full-time job...and this is not a guarantee. I will have to work for a few months and see how much I will actually make and then make my decision whether I might reduce myself to part-time or quit alltogether.

The thing you have to do is find the spots where you can make good money. I have been orking from home for 7 years now and make more than enough to pay the bills, and still have plenty left over to do extra stuff. I will be finishing up school in a few years and then i will venture back out into the real world...but I think i may only do outside work on a temporary basis, maybe volunteer work. Where have you been looking for work?

I think Internet income cannot be really relied over. Well I am not generalizing but it is the case for me, it is very difficult to earn money here on the net because the earning program is too slow. Although one has registered in many sites and working on them simultaneously, it is not easy to turn out profitable if we analyse how much time we have to put in. The electricity consumed, energy consumed and time consumed are not worth the internet income. It deserves much more higher. Therefore, we can't take internet income as a source of living. It can be a very low pocket money but certainly not a source of living. Thanks

well one can earn more in offline job and also when we work outside we meet new people on face to face basis. After working online for a long time i shifted to full time work.

Most of us are still trying to figure out a way which pays better. the site i liked to join in is legit but i cannot access it in my hubby's country since it was banned. I still desperately try to participate more on other sites to have my pay also. Well it is never too much but it is something to earn from and you cannot make it as a full time if you said you have a regular job. This online thing is just for extra money though if you are also having fun. About my experience earning online, i just started late, i joined here February of second week this year and so far, so good on this site. I still like to take part of here even if there are also potential sites around. Happy Mylotting!

Well I am new to trying to make a living in the internet world. So far I have run into a lot of scams. I was laid off at the start of the year and looked for a new job to no avale. I finally just used my head and tried internet stuff. I have only been active for I would say about two weeks. I have earned only a little bit of money but am looking into several different avenues. There are jobs that you can do from home if you want to friend request me and then pm me I can offer you some assistance. I will be starting school in August but until then have to make a living. I think it will work out very well for me as I plan to stick with it. Thus far it has been working for me as I get to work my own hours and pick the jobs that I can freelance and do. I think that it will pay my bills until I can do better. Everything happens for a reason so pay attention and do not let that reason just pass you by. Happy Mylotting

My online earnings is only about twenty percent (20%) or less than what I usually made at work. Still not bad because it doesn't take eight hours of my time. However it is not enough to make ends meet. My online works will be only for extra income. Goodluck to you! Don't forget to tell us regarding your success in this venture. Happy MyLotting!
