Do you feel ashamed of earning online?

Well that's something new to me. Most people I've come across, although they may doubt the ability to earn online, most are intrigued by the concept of actually being able to earn any amount of money online. Every little bit helps especially in these days & times. Making money online is an additional income stream, and that's definitely nothing to be ashamed of. Forget the naysayers and just keep on smilin' to the bank! You may be earning small amounts now, but online earnings can grow with a snowball effect and you could be cashing in some nice checks eventually. It is possible; I've seen it myself. From pennies - to dollars - to hundreds of dollars and growing... Oh I feel so ashamed and embarassed to have admitted this publicly. I must go hide under a rock now lol...

Ashamed? I feel genius when I see people working 10 hours straight and me working 2 whilst at my PC making double their income :D

There's no shame in earning online. It's not shame that's the issue, in my case, its convincing friends that it's really possible to earn online. Most of my colleagues are clueless on how to earn on line. My wife is the most doubtful of them all. I guess she's clueless since she don't know anything about computers. But it changed when she saw my mylot earnings in my paypal account. Now, she wants me to withdraw all of those. But it's not going to happen anytime soon

Since it is new thing that many may be in doubt about online earning. Also there are many sites do not pay on reaching the Payout.As we are not confident about the sites that are paying like Mylot, we certainly feel hesitant to inform our friends.Also, some sites wants ,the referral should not be around us and it should be spread in the world. So, online earning are not shameful.When the Computer was introduced, many were thinking, the unemployment will be more but it has proved otherwise. Lot of opportunities were created.On line earning is one of the way to reduce the unemployment.The people with little knowledge may not be able to get suitable job and also they may not be able to go a place and earn. For them it is an opportunity. And some may not like to work under a Master and for them also it is a boon. And it is also boon to the handicapped who can not move out the residence but they have enough knowledge, to earn in online business. The Scam sites only gives us trouble by taking out time and labor to waste.If the Scam sites are controlled it is one of best way to earn with dignity and honor Thanks Mylotting..

For me it's not really a shameful thing. It's just that I don't want my friends blaming me when a site is closed or somethings like that. Now I make online as a way to be able to get extra income and get something for myself.

im not ashamed of earning online its awesome :D when i started back in 2008 i was like uh i need a job outside then i told friends and family about it they would laugh at me because of so little money but then when i earned more i had them on shut month rofl

I don't see any valid reason for being ashamed of earning online. Only a few of us are able to find genuine sites that pay; most of them have been cheated by fraudsters... Why should you feel that way? Be proud of being here and say it with pride that you're paid for your writing. Your opinions are valued here. My joining of this site, coincided with my joining a new job; that is why, I have not been able to fetch many people here. But once I get set in the new office, I'll let them all know that I make money online, will motivate them to join here. The wonderful thing about myLot is that they value our opinions. Don't feel ashamed of being here!!!! Have fun!!!

I can understand your hesitation back then. Online earning was pretty new to many of us back then. I think it is far more popular today and does not come with a sense of shame. I started earning online maybe back in 2006 or 2007 but was never ashamed of it. Excited was more like it. Even today when I share with some people that I earn online the response is one of surprise with interest. They too normally want to know how they can do the same but of course not many can be bothered with the length of time and dedication plus the effort it takes to earn the small amounts we earn on the various sites. Heck.. sometimes I dont have the time or the zeal but the funds do come in handy.

I understand how you feel, cause I was like that before, but now I tell a lot of people about it, cause I really earn, and I don't bother with referrals anymore, sometimes I just tell them to help them, specially if they also need extra money. Some people might think that you have financial difficulty, but who cares right, as long as you're earning money. Hehehehe.

Hi Chen, I am not ashamed of earning online. i am even proud that i am in a way earning here. at least what we are doing to earn is legal. and it's also fun. it's time consuming but it's worth the friendship and learnings. how i wish i will have lots of referrals to enjoy online earnings like what i an feeling and doing.

well the same thing also happens with me often so i now don't tell anybody about my online programs...most of my friends didn't believe that anybody can earn money from this kind of program and also they always ask at the very beginning of my explanation that how much i have earned already from this kind of programs and then they becomes interested to see the payment proof....i am not really ashamed but i becomes irritated to see their reaction....

I feel that earning money online is a great thing. I enjoy making a little extra money. I am hoping to earn the next couple of months so I can pay for my gardening supplies. I want to plant strawberries, corn on the cob, peas as well as flowers. There is no shame in making money online. With the bad economy and jobs being scarced making money online may help people out during these tough ecomomic times.

i share your experience, my friend. i don't get much in terms of referral because i don't want some friends and associates that i have that "so much" time squandering on penny sites. with mylot, i think there is an intrinsic reason, other than money, that keeps one in continuing to mylot... but of course, the pay is tolerable.

I am not ashamed! In fact I am loving this whole online businesses thing. Slowly but surely our entire family's earnings are increasing not only through MyLot but on other sites as well. I promote it to the hilt. Add me as your friend and I can show you ways to do it. PM me, ok?!

Honest money is good money. There is nothing to be ashamed of.

I actually feel a lot of pride in being able to earn online. Not many people I personally know are into this so they are sometimes surprised to know about how I earn through my blog, and a few other sites like MyLot. I don't feel any shame about earning online because it is clean and honest, at least what I engage in. Now if it was shady and I was scamming other people, I probably won't talk about it amongst friends. I don't actively promote it to friends though, even if, I realize, I lose potential earnings for affiliates. :)

I've never been ashamed of earning online but I learned shortly after I started that telling friends and family about it and trying to get them as referrals is not a good idea. They either think it's a scam or that you're trying to take advantage of them somehow. The only way to get referrals is to find like minded people online that are already looking for a way to make money. I get most of my referrals directly from my website about ways to make money online and other online marketing methods. The best time to tell your friends and family about it is after you are making good money. Then, act like you don't want to tell them the details. They'll be begging you for more information!

I never tell people that I earn money online, but they are always asking where I'm getting all the extra money from each week Earning online is brilliant because there are so many different ways to do it and you can earn at your own speed and leisure

I have the same situation with you, though i have a job. I know mylot by accident,a friend of mine told me this site, i browsed for many times and feel it is a good place,on the one hand, English is my second language , i want to learn it well, in other hand, you also can earn while sharing the stories or your mind with other people around the world.So i joined in, when i have spare time, i will come here and see if there is something interesting. I don't think earning online is a ashamed thing,but i don't tell my colleagues that i was earning online, maybe if it is know by my boss, she will think i'm not work hard.LOL~ But i tell my friend the site, because it is a good site,sometime, you can learn a lot from different people, though maybe we don't know each other, but the friends here never stingy of their couraging words. Why i'm feel ashamed?

No, I'm not ashamed, but I think a lot of people would't understand it. They would think that this is not true. However, I told my closed friends and some of them entered the program and some not. What I would say is that you must be confident of you and your results. If they don't believe it or worse will start making jokes about it, then they're not truly friends.
