Dad gives me USD150 a month. With this money I can pay may internet bills, food, and petrol for my car for that particular month! But he is getting old like 52 near to the pension years ie. 55 I am not getting his money by three years coming but... I am sure I want to earn online, but will I survive? I keep thinking this day and night on how to survive online because I can't depend on ptc anymore...the payout is so low. How can I get USD150 a month online? Has anybody done that in mylot? If so, please share your way. Thank you.

My suggestion is that if you are comfortable in writing articles, say between 500 - 1000 words each on various subjects then consider looking into article marketing. A moderately successful article writer who uses sites such as hubpages can look to be clearing over $150 a month and as you build up a bigger library of online articles and expand out to other article sites you can get close to making a living from doing it. In fact there are a lot of people who do manage a living from it but they have also expanded out into selling their articles to magazines as well.

if you are good in any of the computer skills...say blogging or designing, then you can do wonders with some sense of marketing as well.

I wish I knew the answer to this question. If you find out, please let me know. It is interesting you are counting on living off your father forever. At what point do you think you should perhaps find a JOB outside of the house?

You can check on the writing sites, where they pay you for your articles, I heard they pay big for that. though I haven't tried, cause I don't have enough time to write a good article and to write many... I'm not really sure what are the names of the exact sites, but I'm sure if you just research on it a little then you could find them.

I don't think that making $150 a month on mylot alone is possible. However, I think if you are willing to work multiple sites and you do have the time to devote to it then you would be able to make $150 overall per month. I would recommend looking into article writing and also small task websites like MTURK or myeasytask where you are able to do lots of small tasks during the course of the day. I know that I can easily do $50 per month with MTURK and then what I am currently doing here brings me to half of the sum that you are looking for.

Its difficult to do that by yourself. I know I barely make much of anything on here, but here I make the most. I do a lot of posting and I post a lot of photos. So I make about 15/month doing that, but its better then nothing. Though honestly how do you live on only 150/month? I can barely live off of 946/month.

Oh, USD150 is RM600 in Malaysia. I spend RM20 everyday. It's enough to 3 meals and petrol. Infact I can save a few ringgit each day.
