I have tried a bunch of different things to make money online and I am starting to think that I am doing something wrong. Even on the PTC sites I have only managed to make a few cents and it just doesn't seem worth the amount of time that I have to put in to get those few cents. I have tried blogging but had issues with Google adsense and now I can't seem to find anything else. I have tried investing and I know that I won't be doing that again anytime soon. I am right now earning money from 3 sites including mylot and I am starting to think that it might be time to give up on my dream of working from home while I care for my children. I would love to hear from every one here.... any ideas?

I wish I had some advice for you, because I am in a simula situation. I can't work because I have an infant and no transpertation. I have been scouring the internet looking into any and all work at home possibilities that will not require money up front. If I find anything I will pass it on.

I am also earning money from sites and I think the money is very little as far as the time I've spent is concerned. This is far below my expection when I started to make some online earning. And the most difficult thing for me is that I have to wait for long time until the minimal payment threshhold is met. To be frank, I have the same doubt with you. I will give up some sites after I get my first payment. But I will not give up mylot as it is a special and interesting site.

Your not going to make very much online using such methods. Most of those sites only pay pennies a day. That's hardly an income, it's more like a bonus for using their site to do something you enjoy. If I didn't enjoy being in the discussions on Mylot I would be on here. The money is just a bonus to do it on here instead of some non paying site.

I have a same problem as you. I don't know what's wrong with my method. But, I really need some ways to solve it. But for now, all i need to do, is to give it a shot. I wont give up about this matter. I'll try. The only thing bother me now? Is it really worth my time? I dont know.

you should not depend on the extra income you get from online jobs, unless, it gives a lot of money that you could just sit back and relax..
but if you could make lot of accounts in online jobs, make to manage all of those, then i think you could have earnings, but after you reach their payouts..
i think it's normal to start at the lowest.. if you combine all your payouts, it may be enough for the term "extra income" while at home..

Dear friend, i to feel the same thing, also tried many things to earn money online, but i fail every time. Dear friend i suggest for every individual not waste time on online jobworks, its better to have regular income from a regular job, then spend your free time on online works, which can get you some extra income. All the best.

Working online and expecting to get handsome income might not work well with some people. They are people who make lots of money through their blogs while others fail miserably. I surrender in my quest to make online earning a reality cos I never reached my targeted dream. Luckily I like mylot otherwise I would have given up mylot too as there is barely enough earning to cover the internet charges at the end of the each month.

I have made money online Using a couple of different sites.. One is Zazzle..
You create items... then post them for sale and earn commission when they sell.
I have a widget on my page showing some of the different types of things you can make. It's actually quite fun and creative. I earned almost $300 from them last year.
My other favorite site which is also available to Canadians is BigCrumbs.
This site is great for a couple of reasons.. It can Save you money IF you shop online but If you don't you can just tell your friends, relative or others who DO and Earn when they use the site to SAVE.
I have banners for both on my profile page.. They are great ways to make residual income.. I earn money while I sleep.. It's Great!

You should not think of trying to make a fortune.Its just money you make in the side for a little extra spending.Just start planning the sites you work.Develop a realistic amount that you would like to achieve and then work on it.Habe you ever tried using gomez peer???..It's a software which earns you money for just keeping your computer on.Try that ,it does not require much work

The sites in my profile are legit and paying. I'm sorry to hear that your investing hasn't gone on the right way. You should be really careful before investing in a site your not aware of. I got paid by most of the sites in my profile and the earnings just flow.:)
