It's very hard to earn online

Does anyone have the same problem as I do - I'm not a sales person, and I find it very hard to get referrals to any programs. In fact, I even gave up paying into programs, and just working with free ones like Sidetick and MyLot. I have tried article-writing, but apparently got booted for plagurism as I posted the same content that I put on my blog. I'm no good at building lists, and to be honest, I get quite shy. I think I'll come back to MyLot (haven't been around for a long time, I know :-p) so that I can learn new stuff. There's some very personal reasons why I need to earn money online, though, a major debt that I gotten from a failed MLM stint, that's all I'll say. :-)
I missed writing on here and hope to come back more often and such.

I trade sites. That way I get a free direct referral. I am active at his site if he is active at mine. As for mylot, this is not, for me, a matter of earning money. I have fun, learn things, get to know people and make friends. I am currently earninabout $100 a month with only international sites and no investment. But it is hard work.
Luck and happy posting!!!

You could try Bukisa, if you are going to reuse written stuff that comes from your blog, because they allow that. Other freelance writing sites are a bit picky when it comes to original content, even if it is your own; I write first on those picky ones, then repost after they are published onto other less picky ones, works like a charm :D

It's very time consuming to earn online, even with all the writing I do, I'm still working on getting payout every month. It's a lot of work to write, even posting on MyLot takes up a lot of my time. Fortunately, I am getting payouts from site i write for and I'm very close to getting a few of them. I just have to keep at it, because it's going to pay off very soon.

yes, it does not happen overnight. You need to wait for the result of your hard work and that is if you are patient enough to continue on what you are doing. I too am not good on referring people and most of my friends back home are not even interested to what I am saying even if I have posted an information on how they can earn money online.
I just don't know what to do anymore. Probably it is best if I needed to get more tools and study about SEO for my blog. I even have a stubborn problem on my RSS feed, duhhh. Anyway, just keep on doing what you feel is right.

I'm sorry to hear about the hard times you have had with other sites. Well for me I do mylot, mturk, and also some transcription sites. If you are good at typing you can try Quicktate. You just type up short little voicemail messages and get credit for them. I have made about $200 with them over the past year but then again I don't really get a chance to log on much. I have heard from some of them that make up to $600 a month though and that is good for an online job. Also try out the site Callgraph they are another transcription site that you can get credit for referrals and you can also be a reviewer of transcripts or a typist at first. If you would like the link I can send you mine and if you do sign up I could get credit for it then I could sign up under you on your site. I hope this helps and that you might be able to take a look and get some success at it.

Yes..I think a lot of us have that problem too. I really wonder how other people become so successful in earning online, I tried to follow their tips, but sti it doesn't work. I've never even got a referral... just family But mylotting is a good way to earn online too.

hello masihi!
yeah, i agree with you that it's really very had to earn online. I had been here for 5 months now but i haven't received yet any payment from any of the sites i joined. Although, i would soon be receiving from mylot. I reached minimum payout last month but there was a problem with my paypal account that's why they would be sending me the payment by next schedule. As to the other means of earning online, i don't know about referrals and i haven't really engage in any of it, i don't know how to get one, lol.

I agree with you whole-heartedly! I know we can't expect easy money, for sure, and any monies I can get into PayPal would be an added bonus right now. I'm very lucky to have my husband support me in online marketing, as he wants out of the debt as much as I do. I think altogether I made about $100 year, since I started this past January, so it's definitely a good start.

It is definitely not easy to make money online. It has gotten harder in the last year or so, especially, if you want to do it without cheating or generating insane amounts of low-quality content.
What you need to do is network like crazy and write like crazy. Both are time-consuming full-time jobs. If you have any kind of life in the real-world, web-marketing, and web-writing is not for you.
basically the best advice I can offer is to recycle everything you have ever written constantly and to keep plugging away.

As far as I am concerned, I think the first time that I am coming to make money on line, I find it is so difficult for us to make money there. But after so long time on line, I have known much about earning money on line now.The first that you need to do is just never give up what you are doing on line. Just stick to it. Then do some legit site to help you more on line to make more money.

I have to agree with you on that. Although I am just doing this as a pass time I haven't earned enough for me to consider working full time online. I'll still keep on writing articles and blogs but I don't see myself earning enough online in order for me to quit my day job.
