Hey mylotters, This might be an obvious question for some but i want to go ahead and ask it. Why do you want to make money online? How did you start and what convinced you to start earning cash online. Personally it all started a while back when i needed cash for something i could fork out - i was only 15. Basically it was membership to a game. Anyways, like what i usually do these days, i googled, then youtubed it, and here i am. Deviation from wanting one thing, to wanting to make money on the whole. So mylotters, why do you want to make money online? Regards, borg246

My story is simple. I'm moving to another counrty and i don't speak the language. I could teach english but i'm not so great with the old grammar and so high level english would be a struggle. (obviously low level english needs some grasp of the native language, and my grasp is rather weak) Plus i love writing. I don't need to make a lot of money as the cost of living out their isn't so great but i'm activly looking for every little bit online. If people can recommend anything for me i'd be so grateful.

Well, because I spend too much time online that I decided to earn money out of it. Its a good way to back up my salary at work.

The main reason that I want to make money online is because of the fact that my husband and I decided when our youngest child was born that we wanted me to be able to stay at home until our son started school. So, for the first two and a half years I was content to be at home really doing nothing. However, I learned a year and a half ago that you could make money from home so I started doing that so that we would be able to have a little bit of extra spending money on a regular basis.

My main reason for wanting to make money online is to first find a way to make some extra cash that can help me pay off all my bills. I would also love to find a way to make a form of residual income online that can help me build up my savings balance while ultimately helping me work towards making enough of a profit so I can quit my day job and finally have a chance to enjoy life.

I would like to earn some money on here because some money is better than no money. This is a fun place to go anyways. Since you can get your 2cents in here (literally) haha. But anyways it becomes a challenge at times for me for writing better, more and just plain practice.

Yes, I like to make money on line, and I enjoy doing so. My main aim though is not to make it. Although it would be nice to earn a good regular income, I thoroughly enjoy the social sites such a Ciao where people from all of the world can meet and make friends and learn of each other's experiences in life. _Derek

i have a regular job and i have a big family. what i receive from this said job becomes not enough as time goes by. kids are growing and tuition is getting more expensive. we pay the rent, the bills, etc. basic necessities alone are getting high price while the salary, even if raised, is not even enough for these. so i need to earn extra money from whatever i can get, offline or online.

The reason I want to make money online is so that I can have a few nice things and go somewhere. I barely have money to get me through the month now and so having some extra would be grand. There are several places in the US and in Europe that I would like to see and it all takes money.

I am disabled so it is not possible for me to hold down a regular job.... It is very discouraging sometimes when you go to job interview and can not get one because of your problems so I learned about making extra on the computer.... I do OK.... The money I make is up to me so that makes it nice also.

Well, being 57 and presently working 2 jobs it seemed to be the most rational avenue. It helps..granted, there's no retirement planned soon..and it has turned into a bit of a game..so it helps financially as well as mentally, which is good. Enjoy!

I started working online while employed part time at a newspaper in Michigan. I bought my first Internet ready computer and one day went online and found a math help site. So for badly needed extra money, I sent in math solutions. Then when the newspaper moved out to the country (I had to hitch hike or walk miles to work) and my hours were cut, and couldn't find another job, I found a tutoring job online, kept sending my solutions to the other site, and found a site where I could score high school assessment papers and was able to quit the newspaper job. I like making money online because you don't have to worry about bosses being mean to you and shouting back at them and being fired. And online you show your talents and opnions and people either agree or they don't. They don't look at you online and judge you by your looks instead of your abilities like you get with a normal job. And with me getting old, in spite of my education, it's still hard for me to find a normal job unless I want to clean bathrooms which I don't.

AS far as I am concerned, I think the reason why I want to make money online is that I need to earn some extra money to support my daily life,which I think I can have a comfortable life . If I just have no money in my pocket, I think my life will be so miserable to me. So I need teh help of money to make me some comfortable and enjoyable in my life.

the first reason i want to make money online is because i don't like to be ordered by someone such a military thing. I don't like to work on a office where the boss always grumble and complain about everything we do. I wanna be independent. I want to get my earning online to be used for my other business. It is clothing. So i start to gather money from online earning so that it can be an expense to expand my business.

I do it generally, only because whenever I need to buy something such as upgrades,software rentals, or even movie rentals, besides using credit cards or such, I decide to use paypal. Online money comes in handy when you see something you like. It feels good knowing you could just roam freely on the internet looking for something that you would be interested in, and you'd want to buy it, knowing you have money (:
