Here in this sectiion we find many discussions about making extra money. However I really wonder if it is worth spending enough time to earn on internet. Apart from the ptc sites, there are many other sites on which we can really make some money. However, do you think that it is worth working full time on internet? Which are the site on which it is worth spending lot of time to earn more money? Please share your experience.

I have not had an opportunity (yet) to get a "full time" job on the internet. Though I think it's more a matter of profit than time. I do things in my SPARE time to earn money. Take surveys, read sponsored E-mails, and write freelance articles. In the last 6 months, I've only made about $100 with everything combined. People always think that internet jobs or any other work at home things, are equivalent to getting rich quick. I think ANY job that gives you decent earnings, is going to take some reasonable effort. When I signed up for my "jobs", I knew I wouldn't make much money and don't expect to live off it. Just a bit of extra cash to spend ever so often. I'm sure you could make a good living with internet jobs, but you have to get the right job and actually make an effort at it. People seem to always expect something for nothing. In case anybody wants to know "where" I work... Odesk, Toluna surveys, TextBroker, and Inbox Dollars. And now MyLot, of course!;)

I agree. When I first started, I signed up under a lot of sites. I had a saved document on my desktop that has all my log ins and passwords. It's hard to toggle from 1 site to another. i thought the more sites, the more money. It's been past a month, but I haven't reached the minimum pay out for the sites I signed up for. It's true that working online is a lot easier compared to your 8 to 5. at the same time, you need to invest a lot of time and patience before you earn something worthy. Goodluck to everyone!

It's easy to earn online IF you are hapy with around $80-100. But anything above that requires hard work. Very Very hard work. All the best

Yes, I agree with you that most of the people working on internet try to earn only extra money. Most of them are not working full time but still some are there who are full time working on internet. I strongly feel that there are sites and ways to work on and to earn on internet. My purpose of starting this discussion was that the members here can get information about such sites.

i know some must only need to work online. becasue they set up a site, and then introduce all kinds of online programs for other to join and earn. and then pay them some fees according to their income. in fact it become a group to earn. maybe that's a very good way. but at least, u need to know more abt the internet or sth like so, and the online marketing.

No, I don't think one should enter full time work at internet. I have tried it for an year or so and it is my experience that one should not do full time internet without any full proof plan!

Which sites you had worked on? I think that it is important to know about the type of work one is doing or one has done because there are different types of work available on internet. I am sure that you must have good knowledge about different sites on which one can earn. So please share your experience about these sites and type of work required to be done to earn on these sites. Thanks for responding to the discussion. Happy myloting.

I would say that it isn't but I'm definitely not the best at online earning. So far I have earned about one hundred and twenty dollars give or take and I've been trying to earn online for about six months now. It's not the greatest but it does give me a little bit of extra money to put in the bank.

I think that you have worked enough on internet because six months is quite a long time and so you must be knowing quite a good number of sites on which one can earn. However, I would suggest that if it is possible we should start concentrating on few selected sites whcih are reputed and where you can work comfortably. Once this income has become steady (may be small amount to start with) then you can think of adding more sites and more working hours to earn more.

I try to work full time but don't always have the time. however I do feel it's worth the time if you know what your doing. I work on a site that makes anywhere from $20-100 a day and it doesn't involve surveys, selling, or hard work (it does require some effort but it's not hard) and best of all it's free to join.

It would be interesting to know how you are earning this amount of 20 100$ a day. I would like to request you to share your knowledge and experience with us here. I feel that this earning is quite good earning and especially if the sites are free to join, I would be personally interesting to try these sites. Thanks for responding and I look forward to your continued participation in this discussion. Happy myloting...!

I think its possible to work full time on internet. Some of the companies are offering too. And most of the companies gives internet fecility to the employees. We can parallelly work on internet entire day with out affecting our office work too. As i have started recently. HEHEHE :-) All the best.

I do not think that it would be fair to work from the company's computer and internet connection during office hours. It is not possible to do parallel working without affecting your office work. So it would not be good idea to work from the office.

if you are just starting working online you need to think of it first as a part time job. you can really earn that much in your first few months online. but with patience in dedication in a couple of months its possible to work online full time.

Well, did you try affiliate marketing any? You can make good and bigger money this way. Selling good products might work. Or some MLM might work too, they give a 25-40% to you as a partner. Maybe that looks difficult, at the beginning, but works better I thing...

In my views in this, my friend. Working full time on the Internet is really worth if you have your own internet connection in your home. But if you doing that in the internet shop or internet cafe that is really waste because your not making but you lost money renting computer...We can make money from the internet of about 200 or more if we can find good sites...and I think that is good enough. Because such jobs on the internet is so easy and very simple...Have a nice day!

People who think they can "work" on the internet and earn a living are not being realistic. No one really works on the internet unless they are providing online tech support or something like that.

It depends on your background. I mean, if you have something to fall back upon on a very 'bad' month of earning. Earning through computer should be more as a means of 'extra' income rather than 'only' source of income. The biggest factor against Full time earning on Internet is its 'unpredictable' revenue. Some months you would get big., and some months you will have 'next to nothing'. So, what will you do then???? So, it is always safer to have variety of sources of income.

Of course working on the internet full-time is worth it! Whoever says it is not is not intelligent enough to work full-time on the internet and is not motivated enough to learn how to.

I rather doubt that full-time online is plausible. I think of it more as a hobby venture which maybe, sorta, could work out but is not the main focus of my income as I don't trust it to provide what's needed.

In my personal opinion, full time internet jobs are not worth it. I think a person can only be fulfilled enough in life if they have a job that is chanllenging and actual. Plus, it is the best way to gain pounds hahaha

I am currently experimenting, with what works best on the internet. One of the guys from mylot gave me a lot of valuable information, so i am incorporting his advice into my methods. I certainly will share the results later on.

I don't think it is worth working on internet full time. I spend around one and half hours on all weekdays. That means I work for twenty days with one and half hours a day, but I earn only ten dollars in a month. It is not enough to pay for my internet bill. I pay around twelve dollars for my internet. Even if I work full time on intenet I won't find moeny to pay for my rent and food. So, I don't prefer it. There may be people who knows good money making sites and make around 100 dollars a month. But, I think it is maxium to earn from internet.

many places hire people to do customer service from their homes. Try Teletech and West at HOme. Best of luck to you!

First of all making money on internet is not a easy task. First a person who is new to this field struggles a lot. If he or she is lucky than that person gets good site where we can make money. I think it depends on person to person to decide to give full time for working on internet. According to me full time is not required. We can do part time.

As far as my experience goes, no. Unless you are a leader of a coven and have followers that will do as you please everytime, it is not worth it to work full time on the internet. Unless you mean if your work orders come from the internet, then that's whole another story. Freelancing through internet has become trend nowadays.

Hi Deserve40, I stumbled upon your discussion and right after reading the title, I immediately answered YES!:) I am 21 years old and a fresh graduate. Way back in college, which is roughly 7 months ago, I was just thinking of being hired, working in an office, getting a basic salary, saving money, and eventually put up my own clothing line. Fortunately, my sister decided to venture into an online home-based business a year ago. At first, I was hesitant to join the partnership because I felt like being hired was the next big thing for me. Then, while helping my sister with the site, we figured just how generous internet could get in making people rich! Now, I am working "full-time" in our company. We have our own promotional products website and we are currently working on some projects online, as well. I recommend Odesk, Neobox, and MyLot, of course! Working on internet is absolutely worth your time! Internet offers vast opportunities most of us cannot begin to imagine. Let's get the most out of it!:)
