I know that nothing is free and I'm willing to put in the time as long as the payouts make sense.
What is the most you've made consistently online? How did you do it?
Would also love to hear some success stories from MyLot as well since I'm new to this site. It's fun talking to everyone but I wonder how many posts really have to be made to see dollar signs. It seems like a lot of posting for a few cents.
Please prove me wrong!
Happy MyLotting!

Hi,
I'll start with the Mylot part of your question first. While I don't post here regularly (I seem to go through stages) I can tell you it does pay as I have received payment several times - however, you are never going to make a fortune here - instead treat it as a way to meet new people and learn new things with the money as a bonus, you'll find it much more enjoyable than just watching to see if your earnings are increasing :-)
As for the first part of your question - I earn online via my websites and blogs and affiliate marketing and can earn anywhere from a few dollars a day to a few hundred - it truly varies from day to day and the sales/commission I make. For example there's a link in my profile to a program where I earnt $113 from one sale, and while that amount for one sale doesn't happen often, the smaller commissions on a daily rate do add up. As for how hard I work - well with affiliate marketing the hardest part is always the initial set up (but creating sites or blogs is something I really enjoy anyway so it's no hardship) once it's set up though, you really don't have to do anything as it's already there for you.

I agree with you re0 that this is a great site to meet people and discuss things. And so far...everyone I have come across has been really genuinely nice and gives great advice from an honest perspective...which is fun!
And with any luck maybe I'll make a little money while I'm learning about new things...that's a win win.
I have thought about the website/blog situation....I would love to start a blog - but it's hard to know what would gain traffic and also fall in line with something I passionately want to write about. And of course there's a big part of me that doesn't think anyone would really be interested in anything I have to say...haha
But I'm ultimately looking for a way to bring in some extra cash online because I want to move to Florence (Italy) in the fall and every little bit helps. Finding a job there is going to be tough and if I can get something I can do online it will help. Would love to hear more about how to get the blog started and make an income as well!

Hi,
It's actually a lot easier than you might think to get a blog and/or website up and running - nowadays there's tonnes of tools or programs that pretty much do it for you - you just have to provide the content.
While I personally have my own hosting and generally recommend that to others if possible, you can set up your blog on one of many free sites, and then add a variety of income streams to it.
In a previous comment you mention being passionate about dance and italy though you don't think that would translate well into an online income - well it could quite easily - so not only could you start a blog on something you enjoy you could most certainly monetise it. I'd be happy to help with a few pointers etc to get you started if you want, just send me an email if you want

I have been earning small amounts of money from various sites for the past few months now. I used to make a lot of money from destroydebt, but sadly they cannot pay their members anymore, so there goes my 50+ bucks a month! I am waiting on a check from veiwpointforum and inboxdollars at the moment, and I have been paid by quans twice. I have a few other sites that I am approaching payment for and that I know pay, if you are looking to trade referral links I will be glad to help out!

If you are still willing to trade, referral links, please let me know. I have been trying to find ways to inform people and tell them about the two fantastic sites I have joined (hopefully you have not joined them yourself, that would surely suck if you have, Ha! Ha!),. Just let me know and maybe we can make a deal! :-)

How much ever all at once? Fifteen bucks or so. My average? Ten bucks or so.
How do I do it? I just try to do as much online stuff as I can every day. It doesn't always work, sometimes it's a struggle, but it's not worth it unless I'm earning actual dollars.

Well I am not as active as a lot of people on here but I have made pay out a couple of times. I have received $20.00 in total from here but I am not really that active. The person that refered me makes between 15 and 20 per month. What you make on this sight mainly depends on what you put into it. The more you do the more you make. Also having referals who are active is very helpful in helping you make more money.

By far, the easiest and largest amount of money I've made online was through a paypal competitor that gave you $25 just for opening an account. They also gave you $25 per referral...or maybe $10...I can't remember.
It was totally legit and actually ended up being affiliated with a bank in my area. I only made a little because no one would be my referrals...they all thought it was a scam. But a good friend of mine showed me a check from the same website for over $300. I was soooo jealous! lol.
My next few favorite/best money making websites are mysurvey.com and mypoints.com. (both give points for referrals so...keep me in mind =)
On mysurvey it takes a while to accumulate enough points to get cash. 1000 pts = $10. In the few years I've been a member I've made around $100. One perk, though, is that sometiimes they send you new products to evaluate. You get TONS of points for that survey plus the free stuff. Once I got 2 huge bottles of Tide detergent, they've sent me food...all kinds of good stuff.
With mypoints you mainly trade points for giftcards and stuff. It's not so much hard cash, but you can definately use it. I normally take all the points I accumulate over the year and get people gift cards for christmas presents. They never know, and it's totally free for me! A win-win!
Hope this helps you out. Mylot is a great site to earn, but don't ever plan on earning enough to pay any majot bills. Think of it more as a little perk every few months.

The most my blog has made in a day is $20.00
I have another site I work on that I average $30.00 a day on, depending on how distracted I get and then there is mturk which varies by day and hits available.
I do very well with the sites I work on and am dedicated to. In a months time I have brought as much as $1500.00 in
