Do any of you mylotters have any tips for me on how to stay motivated in my online money making ventures? Some days I do not want to do anything and so I do not make any money. I would like to have ways to stay motivated so I can at least make a little money everyday online. Any comments are appreciated.

Personally I think a lot of it is learning to set Goals for yourself. What do you want to Earn for the month? day? When you realize these goals that are attainable and set a mind set to be able to reach them, then things will happen. Also make sure you are finding ways to be Creative with what you are doing. I know these can take time, but if it is really $$ you are wanting to see once you keep your mind focused on this goal than great things will happen.

Thank You!
What I advice you is that to stay motivated in your money making ventures...thinks of it...focus on it.
I am like you sometimes I am tired making money online because I don't feel and see any changes...most of all if that venture is a scam or they suspend you without any notice and mistakes...
But I motivate myself thinking that I need to earn money because i need it for my study...so in that way I stay motivated.

The question is, what is your concern on why you do online work? is it just for passing time or just for fun? I cannot make you motivated for something that you yourself can't draw clearly because you have your own goal to pursue also.
For me working online is just for passing time, it is a sideline, not my bread and butter. Is it the same for you or not? The only thing that any online worker got their motivation is when the site pays, if not, then look for another site. It is trial and error for most of us as long as you don't get yourself involve on paying a fee before joining because that is a big no-no.

You need to set yourself a goal to aim at. Maybe say to yourself that you want to make $20 a month, then you need to focus and work until you reach your target?
I am using my online earnings to pay for a Nintendo 3DS when it goes on sale. It will probably go on sale at the end of November and will cost about $200. Right now across all the websites I use to make money I have about $40, so I need to work VERY hard over the next couple of months to reach my goal. This will keep me motivated.

Ok, I commented a bit earlier that I learn here a lot but I am also making some cash online. My motivation went down after a while as well but every time I am getting paid it is going up again. It depends in which ventures you are in. If you only earn cents daily it is a hard job. I still like to write articles and sell those or post them AC. It's easy and you can make $10 a day with little work. Every time I get an article approved and see what I earned my motivation is back.

Well you have to find a need for money like a desperate person because there isn't much money on this kind of websites. I think you'll be better off if you just find a job.
If you really want motivation then I'll tell you to just enjoy doing it. Make everything you do interesting, provocative, creative, compelling, or whatever. Put yourself in a mind of adventure.

Well, anyone would get bored and step out if the the thing you are doing is monotonous.
The people are here on mylot because it doesn't get boring here. Writing for your blog, writing articles can become boring sometimes as they require some effort.
You need attractive and new type of work to stay motivated like I have chosen GPT. I like to do different kinds of offers daily. Also, sometimes the offers that I do help me or come to be useful.
Good luck and stay motivated.

The one and only tip I put into play on a daily basis is that if I do not do what I have to do nothing will get accomplished.
Some days I want to crawl into bed and never come out but then I remember the clock keeps spinning and I although I get sluggish typing on the computer with tears rolling down my face, I continue to remind myself that hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

I agree with the others that said that setting goals is very important. I also think that it really helps if you track the progress you are making, even if it would be very small, because this is very encouraging.
