I know a lot of people are trying (some are succeeding) to earn a living online. It's hard work but so is a "normal" job. Most of us keep in touch with family overseas via internet. Our latest big internet venture is trying to win a scholarship for my son and amazingly all the friends we've made on the internet have been a big blessing as they vote for his video: http://fullride.mi.edu/contest.php?sid=177&aid=58529&mid=35425&mtype=2 How have you used the internet?

I use the internet mostly for keeping in touch through Facebook and stuff, or for doing homework...plus I try to make a little money here and there on the side. Out of curiosity, how much is the music scholarship worth? I wish I had known about it so I could try out, though I probably wouldn't get it, lol. Also, which university is your son auditioning for? I have a friend who plays drumset who auditioned for UNT and their full ride...apparently they have a great drumset program, and I was wondering if your son applied there? (seeing has he plays drumset)

Hey MoneyMaker. The scholarship is a full ride scholarship for MI (Musicians Institute) in Hollywood California. Winner also get $10,000 in cash. Runner up gets a full scholarship also, without cash. And the second runner up gets a partial scholarship. Yeah, it's a little late to enter the competition now, they've gone on to the next round. But the school has other scholarship available. For some all you need is a video of you playing your instrument. It's a great school.

Yes, I do use the internet to my advantage. I started using internet to communicate with friends as well as make a research on important things. But later on, I found out that there is more than that on the internet. I have also learned how to earn online using the internet. Well for as long as you use the internet the right way, then you can really gain a lot.

Yep, I totally agree. The internet is very helpful for research on just about any subject and making money online . . . tricky but do-able.

I used the Internet to pay bills, apply for scholarships, university and keeping touch with friends that I rarely contact. It's been very helpful to achieve my aims.

I like the paying bills online myself. It's so quick and easy, and no more paper bills.

Well personally for me over the yrs, that I have been using the Internet I have been able to say I have done some interesting things, and things that I have been able to earn some decent $ doing and things that I regret ever finding. One day I would Love to be able to explore more and find out if the Work From Home legitimate site I have found is something that would work for me.

I know that someone must be making money with these work from home programs. Guess it's finding the legit ones and getting referrals. The latter, of course, seems a little tricky.

Hi. gtargirl. I see a guy playing a guitar, but I won't be able to hear him play the song. I have researched many kinds of information while I have been on the Internet. I have also made a lot of money on the Internet too, it has not been that much of money, but it is a whole lot compared to no money at all. I have also been able to find and connect back with many people that I have not seen in a long time on the Internet too. I have signed up free items. I have been able to look under things that I would love to order. I have been able to use the Internet to my advantage a whole lot, and I still am too.

I used the internet by making money on line in order to meet the needs of my family. I am thankful to the one who discover this invention for we just cannot earn extra money we can also get to see our immediate family & relatives in other country.
