We all know that everybody in here earn extra money from online activities.. I just wonder what do you do with it. Either you earn big or small. Do you really make a living out of it? For me, i don't really "depend" on it as for a living. just extra, good to have it in my paypal, anytime i need something from ebay or any other merchant using paypal, so I just use it towards it.

Right now I still reinvest in new projects that bring even more cash but I earned like 700$ in pure profit I guess... I wasted a lot on failed projects and a few times I upgraded in scam bux sites ;p But I learn by misstakes so.. :)

If I could make enough money online to live off of it, I would. But I'm not making much right now. I'm saving up my earnings to purchase a new digital camera and other things off of Amazon (my favorite place to shop online).

If i have a lot, I'm plan to use it to pay for my education loan, but as ii don't earn much, the money usually used for my expenditure only, like I need to invest on something. I also plan to use to money to buy for something, but now, i just let it there on my paypal account. I wanted to increase it badly, but I need to be patient. happy mylotting

Though still a small amount I'm saving my earnings for mylot to have something to spend on christmas. Nice to add the amount to my christmas shopping allowance at least I would see christmas souvenirs from my efforts at mylot. Wish I could increase my earnings in three months more.

Maybe you could teach me how to get money solely from home. It's been my dream to do that. I'm glad that you've found a good way of earning without having to leave your home. Not everyone is as fortunate as you because some websites are biased; their activities benefit only those in the US, while those from other countries either have their registration rejected or are not eligible to participate.
I managed to earn a few dollars (a total of about USD$100) in 6 months from a collection of various websites. Nothing to shout about, but I've used some of the money to purchase groceries or get some online stuff. The rest, I'd just keep them. Since then, there were no more opportunities for me. I'm not sure when I'm gonna earn again because I don't live in the US.
You know, just an hour ago, i registered in a money-making website and you know what? The site said something like: "Your country has been identified as one of those which deal in fraud activities blablabla" - can't remember the exact words but what the ****!! How could they say that? As a result, my registration is still pending now, subject to moderator's approval.
I'm so p***ed. Sorry, i'm just upset.
Take care.

hi, kevchua I would love to, but I'm not making money solely from home. I have a job OFF Line. Is a part time. I don't really want to stay at home all day in front of the computer. And beside that so far my OFF Line ( my real Job ) give me a lot more than I earn online. And maybe just like most people here This online stuff it's only "extra"...So sorry just don't be mad..LOL, i know you'll find it one day..

Oh! Thats bad. They can't say that. But some sites do use such tactics. I heard about a person who could not withdraw his earnings from paypal because his country was blacklisted or something. Guess, everything has pitfalls and advantages. Even online earnings have a fair share of them. Don't be upset, kevchua. It wont help your case, Just buck up and look at sites that are friendly to everybody irrespective of their nationalities.

I don't make nearly enough online to depend on it. It's just an added little bonus every once in awhile.
I'm hoping to make this weekends payout (I'm ever so close.) Unfortunatly for me, my children have already planned on how it's spent. Lol. I've agreed to let each of them have $4.99 to purchase coins on their games on facebook - one is Pet Society the other is into Restaurant City. And they've agreed that I can keep the extra 2 cents. Yay me. LOL.

I got interested in online money making about a year ago, and at first I didn't earn any money, I just wasted my time on a lot of different scams. After a while things changed and I managed to find some good and reliable sites. When I received my first payment I was really excited, and I decided to spend it on a nice dinner with my husband. I was planning on doing the same thing with my next earnings, but I ended up spending it on groceries and bills instead.
When I get paid next time I would like to spend the money on something nice for a me and my husband or maybe a present for him, but I don't know yet. We had to spend a lot of extra money this month, because someone smashed one of the windows in our car, and our insurance doesn't cover than kind of things, so I guess I will have to spend my earnings on the bills instead.

I have been putting mine in my savings acoount and saving it for when I need it. I, too, am not making enough money to live on. I only wish I did, but for now, it is just pocket change. I have been able to build up my savings acount a little, and everything adds up over time. I am still looking for a site that will give me enough money to live on, but I haven't found it yet. But until I do, I will just continue with the sites I am doing to get some money, which is better than nothing, that is for sure. It is really hard to make enough money online, without having to invest anything. That I refuse to do, as I have been scammed, and not going to do that again. I lost money and I never got it back. The thing of it is, things were better then, than they are now. I will just try to make whateer money I can in the meantime. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Believe it or not it's been three years now, but yes it's not enough to make a living. Maybe it's just me that still not find it yet. But like you said better than none. I let it build up, and it's not bad actually to have it for the christmas time. hahaha...good luck to you too !

Hi ibuemma, I earn very little on online money. Perhaps it is just only $10 a month. But it is still better than nothing. Hence I hardly depends online earning for my living. I would rather say it is my extra pocket money. I normally get this money keep inside my pay pal. It is use to pay for my online shopping merchant.

I havent had "payout" yet from this site but i intend to just leave it to sit in paypal and then use it later on in the year to buy a few christmas presents for my daughter from ebay or other stores that accept paypal. I know it wont be much but it will be enough to get her a couple of little bits.

I usually try to use my earned online money towards purchasing ebooks.I create my own videos for websites which contains voice overs etc. I invest my earned money in purchasing tools and updating my knowledge so that I can perform well in my business

I save my money to buy something that I really wanted to have. I don't want to get the money quick since there will also a deduction in the bank so I need to save some more.
I guess most of us here will gather their penny first and then save it for the best to come. Happy Mylotting.

I save it up all year long then use it for the winter holidays. We have so many parties and events as well as 3 kids, 16 nieces and nephews and family members to buy for. So this is what I use then we do not have to worry about our daily budget at all.
Though bigger payments such as from writing gigs and the like I put towards paying off the never ending Dr. bills.

I only make small money online and I think I will use it as my shopping and body care resource,, and maybe invest in some of sites I'm joining now. With the amount I've made, only for this two purpose. Maybe if I can make bigger amount I will think about anything else, like to pay my own piano course.
Same with you, I don't take it seriously. Still have to enter and focus on college and I do this just for fun and a little extra pocket money.. It's better to play like this and get extra pocket money than play or browsing without clear purpose..
Of course I still spend time with my family, going out with my friends and bf, take vacation, etc,,not sitting in front of computer all days long,,

I don't make that much money from online earnings (it's a slow process), but when I do save up enough I like to treat myself to little things for the hard work. Maybe a couple of bottles of nail polish, or a t-shirt from a website. I doubt my online earnings will be enough to make a living so I use the money to buy things I want, not need.
