Just curious. Is earning online a way to make a living? Or just a hobby?

My online hobby has always paid my internet bill. I have had several months that were a bit more, but never quite enough to qualify as more than just a few bucks extra spending money. But, that was my goal. I enjoy my online activities and do it more for the social contact than anything else. As long as it covers the internet ocsts, I feel it is worth my time and effort. I also work full time though. If I had to do this to make a living, I would be in very deep trouble in no time at all. I understand that some people claim to make a living doing this, and I both envy them and wonder what the heck they know that the rest of us don't?

Earning online is more of a hobby for me because for 10 months, I only earned a total of $400. But just last week, I found a really good site and I already earned $110. If I can continue to earn this much, then I might seriously consider doing this full time.

My online earnings can pay two utility bills. But I am still looking for online earning opportunities that can pay me more than what I am getting right now. It's not really that big of an amount, but enough to pay some bills and still have some left for my personal needs.

Actually online money making cant really say is hobby but part time job. My online earning is not much but it is more than enough to pay all my bills. And yes, we can actually earn online as our full time job and survive. However, it is actually same as real life job and you gotta spend alot time on it

Right now, it's just a supplemental hobby. I would love it if I could somehow make enough money to pay my bills, even if it were a few of them. However, that's not going to happen right now. The money I am making helps with the little things. I can get the things I want without having to spend my paycheck on it.

It is just a hobby for me, just a way to make a little extra to add to what we need, but if the need be a few bills i probably make enough each month to pay a few, but i do not make enough to make a living off my internet money.

Absolutely a hobby. I'd love to find a site that provided enough to pay my bills, but I think the best way to do so is have an insanely popular blog (which I do not have).

Sometimes I do, mostly I just make enough to buy some gas and food. I live in a rural area so I have to drive alot. My online earnings help been helpful in buying the gas to get where I need to go. I average between 50 and 100 per month counting gift crtificates. I have made over two hundred dollars though one month.

I wish I did - but unfortunately it's just an hobby and I make a little bit. It helps - since I have more money left over to pay the bills since I have a little spending money from online.

I'd love to be able to pay bills with it, but currently all it is is a hobby.
