I have seen lots of discussions nowadays pertaining online earnings. Therefore, I have come across this discussion just now and putting it into question or thought.
Is it possible to earn $60 per month online? What say you? From what I've seen, let's say you get a site which pays for you to review, or do surveys and stuff like that. Any program whatsoever..
Just take for instance a review site which pays you around $0.40-$0.60 per review. And you do 5 per day which equates to $2.00 already. So per month, just hypothetically you do 30 days consistently, and that would equates to $60.
Exploring the technicality of this, it is possible to be earning $60 month online. I suppose there are other methods to gain such amount as well. The bigger question is, are you willing or not? And whether time is a factor to achieve this result. Do share your thoughts, thanks..

Well the math seems right.
I got into this whole "I wanna make money online too" thing just a month ago.
That being the case, if I do get to a place where I am making more than $60 a month, I will proclaim to the world.
Oh boy! That could be my next discussion topic.
I have not started a discussion in a very long time. Ok, ok. I will stop building castles in the air.
But I will get there and yes I am willing to do what ever it takes to get there.

Yes that is very much possible. In fact, i have earned $30 just last week. And this week, i already have somewhere around $70. That's only on one site. You have to work hard of course. If you're interested, just send me a private message. If you'll join under me, i can teach you how. You need to have a decent internet speed at least. you can earn $1 in an hour if you're dedicated. It might affect your time on other sites but it sure is worth it.

I thin that this could be almost next to impossible, or I don't know the people, who are able to do that. I also must admit that I'm not able to devote much time online due to my full time job, still I'm able to earn only few bucks occasionally, inspite of putting in about 1-2 hours per day on an average.

indeed, this could be a huge investment of time. it would be fine if the site is legitimate and you have the assurance of getting paid by the end of it. but if not, then sometimes it can be disappointing to see all your efforts turn out for nothing.

First question: Is it possible to earn $60 a month? Of course it is - but as with everything, it's down to each individual.
I write. That's how I make most of my money online. Most months, I've made much more than $60 a month.
If we were to go with the instance that you set (writing for the imaginary review site), it's not something I'd personally go for as that would be a lot of effort for little pay. Writing 5 of those babies a day for 30 days would drive me NUTS.
Here's a different example (and a question): Write 10 500-word articles that pay $3 each? Or write one 500-word article that pays $30?

I agree with you. Writing word articles is certainly more fun, since writing reviews could make one burn out in time. I believe there are different situations for this like some would like review writing programs whilst others love writing articles.
Thanks for your input.. ;)

I would say that it might be possible but it is very tiring and a lot of work for very little money. I have tried to be consistent like that but I get sick of it and frustrated because if I do spend all day to earn such a small amount of money then nothing else gets done and that causes trouble.
I am home all day because I am disabled and cannot work, so any money is worthwhile as long as it does not take me too long to do. There is also the problem with surveys etc that you have to qualify to get paid and many of them are targeting specific sectors of society. With the review sites they require a certain knowledge of the product. Also I would be surprised if you could get 5 or more every day that you could do. I certainly could not as I will not write about things that I have no knowledge of. I find the same with the mylot writing tasks and I only take on a few of them. I tried doing a certain number every day but I found it frustrating because I was doing nothing else and $4 a day is not a lot of money to devote your time to.
I tend to regard earning online as hobby and leave it as that.

I'm sorry to hear that.. but I certainly think that your spirit is so high. Much more higher than me .. ;) Awesome..
I just recently stumbled upon a site just now which pays for page views or what they call revenue sharing. It is a news-sharing site and if you have lots to type out like for instance the news on the recent subway accident and you can write in your own words and stuff like that, somewhat like reporting, it can be cool too..
If you are interested, I'll pass you the link, but not a referral one.. no worries..
Just love to help people around with whatever knowledge I have. And I am so glad to have friends whom are willing to share knowledge with me too. They are awesome..friends like Kun, bj and many more. I have learned never to be selfish in knowledge and stuff like that.
You are right, forum earnings are just some bits of extra which are good but to be realistic, it's not an income earner. One needs something more concrete than that. Hope this helps. Take care and have a nice day mylotting..

I'm sorry to hear that..
I find forum participation like mylot very enjoyable too. So maybe you can just stick it out here and try to get some active referrals. I have 4 under me currently but they are non-active, LOL..
I would want to try to get some-more. Thanks for commenting again, my friend. Have a nice day and happy mylotting to you.

Yes, I think one can definitely achieve this goal and perhaps even more. However, this kind of higher earning rates involves more creativity cause I think those review sites and other writing projects/jobs are the bigger earners. Take here in myLot for example. There are a lot of Tasks worth $2. If one can at least submit one of those tasks everyday and all of them are accepted then one would be set for the month. He/she might even get past that $60 monthly goal. It would be a really nice turn out and I would have tried it just to add more to my earnings. The thing is though, Im not that confident in my writing skills. Most especially that those tasks give specific related keywords to include in the article.
As for other review sites, a member can just submit their review articles and wait if the site would pay for $2 or pay in bulk rates.
Other methods, like survey sites and gpt's, those would be more available and convenient for those members who are residing in the US.
Time is definitely a factor as well as the interest in the task/job/work would help in achieving those goals. It would depend on one's availability to be on the internet after all.

You are right, bj. The tasks here are awesome and though I've only tried once, I've yet to try the writing assignments. Sounds like it's really worth it, for something extra, I must say.
You are right; one of the biggest money earners in terms of participation would be writing assignments like for upfront payments as well as writing reviews. It would be awesome to keep up with these sites if time permits for something extra. Wonderful answer from you, thanks for sharing.. ;)

Of course an extra 60.00 a month would be welcome. Is there such a place? I have seen lots of places, but most of them don't pay, or don't pay enough to make ends meet.

Yes, i am a member of Associated, and Trimond as well, along with a few others. My earnings have increased somewhat, and now, after reading a hub, i am out to try something a little differently.

I'm earning $50 a week with hotfile right now so it's possible and it's pretty easy. Before I started to use hotfile I couldn't even make $10 a month lol. On hotfile you upload some files and every time someone downloads it you get 1 cent. It's not time consuming because you only post links and then come back to see ho many downloads you got. If you join under me (link in my profile) I'll give you some tips and a large list of forums where you can post your files to get many downloads. Ready to join?

You are right. It takes dedication, patience and the right kind of program for things to work in that sense.
I don't have that kind of knowledge but was just hypothetically saying that it can be done, I think. And it's great to read some wonderful answers here as you can see. You can browse through and read for some of our friends have great and wonderful ideas that they have shared. Thanks for your input and have a great day mylotting..

Don't mind about it, my friend. our exchanging ideas here is very helpful tools to find ways of making good money online. So, that no need for us to expense more investment to earn a lot of money. What we need is extra efforts, extra time to earn some extra cash or even sustainable income from doing simple tasks. We need more extra knowledge to attain our ideals in life not because of making money but because we are aware of knowledge isn't it?

my friend yes it is possible to earn that much in a month and much more but it wont be on a single site alone. survey site are not a good way of earning hear in asia I guess so it would be much wiser to join on forum sites and other things rather than joining on survey site if one is from asia.... I have been looking for a survey site that could offer many survey but unluckily basing from forum sites that I am in survey do not offer much surveys for international members.
and if such site do exist I am soo willing to join that let me know if you have
then I would gladly join under you

That would be a cool idea if there are survey sites for international members. Unfortunately, I don't have any information on that....perhaps the survey products or services are catered for US members or other European countries.
You are right, buddy. With just 1 site, it's not possible to get that kind of earnings, unless the payout is high. I think people are talking about Post Parker, I'm none too sure about it must go and read up more whether it's legit and all that. I think it is..though I'm not too sure about it.

Yes, it is possible. Actually, you can do even better. I had earned $100 last month.

Yes, I never thought I could do that. I had been earning through my blog. I had joined several payperpost sites such as PayPerPost, and Social Spark. Those sites are the ones that brings online money to my blog. But, as an investment, you have to have a blog with at least PR2 to earn that much.

It's not that hard but not that easy.
You could try Associated Content (if you are from US) and you can gain upfront payments. I know Ciao has a lot of fans before and was popular but there's no more of it now..pretty sad for active members.
If you want to try more writing, try Squidoo, Hubpages, or even Triond. But I think the earning potential is not that much unless you are consistent and are pretty passionate for writing to care about the earnings.
I've heard of Post Parker. Some friends are mentioning it to be cool. You can join there and participate together with mylot, if you want. Hope these ideas help in some ways for you..

Everything's a possibility if you put your mind to it, and keep to a schedule, i.e. work out how long it will take you each day, and work according to those timings. I have earned $56 before, just on Mylot. I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it, but it was hard work, my friend. Nowadays, with the tasks, you can easily make up your money if you want to earn that much, but I prefer to treat the site more casually.
Brightest Blessings.

That's such a great achievement from you..
Thanks for sharing, I appreciate that so much, Darkwing.
I think you are right, in my theory, even if we join 10-20 sites, but do not make the best full use of the site in question, then the purpose is defeated.
It's best to stick to 1-3 sites that work for us, or just 1 and see if the extra effort pays off. And furthermore, it's best to treat things casually, I agree with you. Have a nice day, my friend..

Pal, theoretically and mathematically you are right, but in practice, online sites do not pay $0.40 for review, fraction of a penny is more likely to happen, and also 30 days straight without some type of upgrade or premium membership where you need to pay a one time big sum membership fee first before promising at least a review article every day did exist. I do know many of them give big promises but at the end of the month, they are no where to be found and their servers will become inaccessible. i think you should be more careful about that.. my friend.

You are right, buddy.. was just discussion things on a hypothetical angle. It would be awesome to have that kind of extra (dreaming)..LOL..but then again, one can become burned out trying to fulfill the 30 days thing.
I agree with you. And it's awesome that mylot gives us a bit of incentive for participating and to enjoy ourselves with friends here. Something is better than nothing and anything extra is good..
Thanks for sharing..

Hi zed, It is possible to earn 60 dollars or 50 streling pounds from a single site. I am talking about dooyoo.com. They pay 50 pence for each review you post and you can hope to get at least 30-40 pence , or more from rates.Some members write 2 reviews each day and once they get established they get a lot of rates , and are able to make upto 2 pounds daily...

That's so cool. I thought before that dooyoo doesn't pay international members. So they need UK bank account or is Paypal allowable? Sounds cool and in pounds, not bad. Something extra there, awesome.. thanks for sharing this, Kiran, you seem to have lots of great ideas.

Zed, dooyoo pays only through cheque once your account accumalates 50 pounds or you can redeem the amount through Amazon vouchers after you reach 10 pounds. The cheque is sent, only to your address in UK. But the payment is prompt and it is a great site. The members are friendly...

Absolutely you can. I make about $80 a month on average through CashCrate. If you're in America, may I suggest CashCrate? They pay by check or PayPal and they are a 100% legit site. Easy site with lots of 100% free offers and a couple daily surveys to do each day. Check it out. Banner is in my profile.

I think it is possible but I don't think I can reach that because mylot is the only way I work online and the income is small like nothing, even if I spend 24 hours straight a day, I doubt I could do that on mylot within a month...
