Do people ever laugh at you if you tell them you are reading paid email ads
or clicking links or posting on forums to make money? Do you tell them?
What do you say if they laugh.
I figure it't a fun way to make some paypal cash and I say: "money is money"
It may not be a hundred dollars but 100 one dollars is $100
How do you handled hecklers ?

Folks have mocked my doing so, including a former roommate, until they see money in my paypal and wonder where it came from..I figure it takes time I could be using doing for nothing so its a better investment of my time. Every little bit helps afterall..Enjoy!

So far my best pay-offs have come from InboxDollars. They pay by check but take up to 30 days to send. All else go thru paypal.

I don't know why there are people who laugh when they hear about what we are doing. As far as I know, they are considered as narrow-minded people. They might choose to rob a bank to get a large amount of money rather than sharing their ideas and making new friends while being paid. They might think it will take days to earn 1$ but they did not see the value of what you had.
Don't mind those people around who laugh at the stuff we are doing because they don't know what they're missing. I'm glad I haven't encounter such kinds of people. The ones I talked about this activity turned out to be very interested and willing to learn what I'm doing and I am also happy for them.

Usually the people who ridicule are those who would want you to
work for them for free.
Better to make pennies then nothing at all.

I don't care if they laugh and won't believe me. I am the one who got paid anyway. My friends know that I am earning money online but they do not laugh at me. When I share soemthing about online on them they are listening but only a few are really interested. Maybe some of my friends do wants offline selling or real part timejobs. I don't care if people will laugh at me by earning online, that is not my lost. And in real things, they are so many that are earning online so only a few might laugh at us.

I think any way to bring the money in is admirable.

I haven't really told people all that much about my online earning. The other day a couple of my friends were over when I was on the computer and they were asking me what I was doing and I explained to them my experiences with online earning. I explained that I'm earning roughly 80 to 100 dollars a month from online but it takes a pretty good amount of time for me to be able to reach that.
I think the only reason someone would laugh at you is because they either think it's not possible to earn money offline or they're laughing at how small our earnings can be sometime but like you said 100 dollars is 100 dollars and I would have to say that 100 dollars of online money is worth more to me because it encourages me to deposit it directly into my bank account.

I've been laughed at a lot...but when I make a $100 in a month-then who's laughing...that's what I say to them...sometimes I will only make pennies but every now and then a good opportunity comes my way-like a $50 survey-they're rare-but they happen!

I discuss MyLot and other things to only those people whom I feel can understand. Even if people laugh about MyLot or other sites, it does not bother me, because they are right as per their thinking but I do best of it.
I do not care what other think about MyLot :)

I think online things are seen more acceptable ways of earning in
some countries more then in other countries.

getting a few extra bits of money just by doing a could of small things is not nothing worth heckling about. It doesn''t seem funny to me, and Im actually interested in every opp like this.

When you are searching for a "good job"; you might want to search
using mylot's search engine. It really does well with the results
and every so often you get a monitary surprise that credits
immediately to your balance.
I look for work and do my homework using mylot's search engine.

im making money from writing blogs for a client from lithuania and im contented of what i earn because i don't need to commute everyday to go to my work place, don't have a boss to manipulate me then i can work anytime i want. One cousin of mine is working as a teacher and since its summer she has no class so i offer her to write blogs then i'll just pay for her works. But she said its a waste of time and she's not convinced that im earning money at home, so what i did i hire another writer, then when she visits me at home i show her the proof of my payments from my client that i receive dollars in blogs. She was wowed and show interest on the job but sorry for her i have one person working for me and getting payouts every week.. hehe

I love to write.
I am watching for open opportunities all the time.

I am glad you recruting your family.
Are they enjoying it as much as others here are?
Did they start same time you did?

I haven't had anybody mock me for earning money online. That's probably because my friends and family know my circumstances. I can't go to a conventional job anymore because of physical limitations. So I write articles online to make money. My friends think it's lucky that there is something like this that I can do. And they know I find it enjoyable.
I guess if someone did laugh at me, I'd just say what the heck, my money spends just like yours does. Basically, what you said: "money is money."

I think we spend time on the net doing things for free..
Many sites benefit from our presence and never pay us a penny for
being there..Why not take advantage of a penny or two for our time
It will definitely help towards the internet bills.

My friends are asking me what I do now? I just said I m working on the internet to earn $$$
They then silent and I know they wonder what I do to survive. I didn't tell them. I just said if u interested let me know.
In cyber cafe, sometimes when my computer is disconnected because I didn't pay my bills, I went to CC. PPl are asking me what I m doing I tell them the truth.
And they said nothing. I didn't asked them "do you believe earning in internet is real money?" I don't want to comment further. I m cool person you know! Ha ha

I don't think anyone has actually ever laughed at me but I know most people just don't understand how I do it. To most people it's such a little amount that it's "not worth it" to them. I see it as hey.....I'm spending my spare time doing something I enjoy AND getting paid for it!!! I WIN! lol Even if someone did laugh at me - I'd laugh right back at them. They're the crazy ones for not earning this money. I enjoy what I do and would never let what someone else said or did stop me from making money online!

Well I tell them its better to make less than 1 dollar a day than to make no money at all. I tell them I am always on the internet anyway wasting time. So why cant I use some of that waste time to make a bit of cash. Maye at the end i can use that money to make my money grow larger until instead of $1 dollar a day, it will e $50 a day, until maybe $100 a day, then $1000 a day. It is possible you know. It just might take a bit of time. So anybody knows any site that they can use $10 and make a lot more? I want to know though how can i grow my money on the internet faster using $10.

Once i told one of my friend that how we can earn money online. She doesn't said anything to me. But her elder brother said that it's not good and laugh at me. I really feel angry on him. But i didn't said anything as it's useless. I just ignore him.

Sorry to hear that..
Not everyone can understand..Especially those who make
money by dishonest means or who spend their whole day on facebook
playing games for free.
I understand ..it's pennies..but pennies add up
