How soon can you start earning money online?

June 17, 2010 1:09pm CST
I have been trying to make some money online for the last 4 months whilst looking for a full-time job during this economic hardship. I have tried online surveys for 3 months, data entry (being an affiliate) for a month and now MyLot. However, I have not received any financial rewards (not even a penny!) and I wonder whether I am not patient enough or may have done something incorrectly. I spend in average 2-4 hours a day everyday apart from weekends to do these online works. Although my next plan is to try writing/ posting some articles online, I am starting to lose confidence and thinking about quitting them altogether so that I can invest my time in doing something else better or more productive. Anyone care to share their experience? Thanks!

If you are new to online money making, I suggest you stop working for other sites for a while and start focusing here. MyLotting is the easiest way to earn money online. Trust me. Other sites out there, they will require you to pay some upgrade money to earn more. Here, no upgrades required! Just work more, and employ some techniques, like using all the features here especially MyLot Search Engine. If you continue wandering around the Internet looking for some easy ways to earn online, chances are, the time and effort that is supposed to be spent working here in MyLot will be spread to thinly thereby your wait to reach payout of each websites will go longer and longer, or worse, you will end up working with sites that promise "easy ways" but will scam you. Instead, focus on here, and trust me, you will reach MyLot payout in no time!

There are many income opportunities available on the Internet. But most "work at home on the Internet" opportunities, instead of letting you earn money, you will end up the opposite, spending money to earn more! Their "free money" appeal is just a bait for you to bite, then after biting the bait, and you are hooked, they will ask you to pay more for membership upgrade. Remember, you came on the Internet to work to earn money, and not to spend money. Some sites are just a waste of money, and worse, a waste to time. So, instead of wasting your time in other sites out there, why not just focus here in MyLot?

Yeah you are probably right. I started seeing my earning growing by MyLotting, hopefully this is one of the sites that I should be focusing my time on.

Thanks for the encouragement. Nice to know that someone has been successfully earning online for many years. Sounds like you know exactly what to do and where to spend your time on. May I just ask which online work has proven to give you a good earning so that I could start (or re-start) from there? Thank you in advance.

I have tried some of the online survey programs too. Quite disappointing. So, I changed to online writing. Writing has been my hobby since my high school years and is still is. So, I enjoy making money doing my favorite hobby. One site I found very enjoyable is "Review Stream". One can write brief reviews on a variety of topics, things one comes across in the day-to-day activities, restaurants, shopping, movies, hotels, travel, etc., and get paid. If you like writing, you might want to take a look at this site.

It's very hard to find a good job online. If you're not making any money, it's not worth putting your efforts into it. You should go look for a real job so that you can work overtime.

Sure, I am actively looking for a real job too but has no luck so far. I thought if I could find a good earning online I may continue doing so even after I manage to secure a full-time job. Most cases in my industry overtime working is unpaid.

Hi, this is my third try on online money generating. I don't know if this one will work. In the first try, I didn't received any penny. It was because the surveys I answered were not sufficient to pay me back even for the minimum amounts. There was no enough surveys because only a few are available for my area. If they are available, I am not qualified for it. The second venture I did was not rate articles based on the interest I chose. At first I was really good, however, when I was almost near cashing my rewards, I had to visit the sites of the sponsors. I tried visiting the sponsor sites but, it did not work as I expected it to. I still receive the reminders to visit the sponsor's site and the articles came in lesser. My friend referred me to try this site and I hope it will work. Thanks
