I of course like to do my lot. I have been away for a while though because I recently returned to college. But i was wondering what are some of the things other's do for extra money especially on the computer? I used to write a blog; however, i've not done that in a very long time either.

There are a few ways I make some extra money.. beside mylotting that is. My favorite is Zazzle. Or Zazzling as I say. At Zazzle.com I make a lot of things (mainly using my photos) and them post them for sale. I earn commission when items sell. They have all sorts of things from cards, shirts, shoes, magnets, stickers, posters skateboards, mugs and now iPad and iPhone cases (and many more). It's fun and a great way to earn extra cash in your sleep.. I say this as I am usually asleep when most of my sales occur. :) and it's awesome for residual income.. because once created you can be earning from the sale of your items for years to come...
This past month.. December has been my best month yet I have made $178. Prior to this my best months were about $50 or so.
Another great way to make residual income... is BigCrumbs This is a great site if you do any online shopping-- of any sort - even eBay... or if you know some people that do.. you join BigCrumbs...it's FREE to join.. and then refer your shopper friends.. you can both Save Tons of money on the deals that are offered and you earn a percentage of cash back from all your purchases.. best is you will also earn when those you refer have shopped (and saved)...
I have been doing both of these for years and I have money deposited in my paypal monthly from both of them.. and I really don't have to do much. Other people shop. I make money.. how good is that?
Also I do some online surveys.. my favorite site is Pinecone Research. they pay $3.00 per survey to paypal.. usually the day after I take the survey.. there are a few other things I do here and there . but nothing as much fun as these.
I have some banners on my page for Big Crumbs and Zazzle- you can see some of the things you can create. :-)
Good luck.. there are many things out there to do to make extra money.. I am sure you can find something that you like to do.

You're welcome... and No Problem... I have a lot of fun doing what I'm doing.
And if you find something you like and that pays you a little something for doing it.. It's really all that matters. I am sure you will find something that works for you.

For now, mylot and neobux is the only thing that I can squeeze into my busy schedule. I do need the extra income but I do not have enough time or energy to get another job. I also have my family to take care of. When I was in college I used to work as a student assistant to earn extra money

I actually find that surveys are probably the most profitable for me, but I am always looking for new ways to make money online. Recently, I have been researching affiliate marketing just biding my time and trying to figure out the best way to get my feet wet in this interesing internet opportunity. So right now I want to start my own blog or website, I got some great supportive and helpful feedback right here on mylot.

I make most of my money online by writing articles for different sites. Most of them are HowTo articles that pertain mainly to computer and technology.
I write for DemandStudios.com , AssociatedContent.com, Bukisa.com, Triond.com, Mylot.com, ePinions.com, StumbleUpon.com (for back links), FireHow.com, and I'm sure there's a couple more that I can't think of right this sec. eHow.com was the best as far as the amount of money they paid out. They've recently shutdown their Writers Compensation program and moved it strictly to DemandStudios.com. I still earn from my eHow articles though and was approved to join DemandStudios. I've got 40 +/- articles up and make a consistent $30 per month. AssociatedContent I make a consistent $2 per month with mostly the same articles. You're not going to make a ton of money at one site, but if you combine all the possible ways of making money online, you could easily get up to $100 - $1000 extra dollars per month, it just depends on how much you work it. I personally like AssociatedContent.com for the quality. They've also just teamed with Yahoo so I'm getting a lot more traffic to my articles. If you can get about 500 articles on there, I'm sure it'd be nothing to hit $100 per month, every month. Good Luck

OMY! I do a lot of things since last year when I learned how to run my small online store in Facebook. It was crucial since I receive payments in different modes from people around the country I do not know personally. It's harder when there are issues from my supplier I need to explain to complaining customers. As of this date, it's still up and running. Earnings vary from time to time. There are months when I do not have sales but I must not be disappointed. It is part of the business especially done online. Right now, side by side I do demos of Anion Napkin I got from the MLM company I joined. I bought 5 boxes and I need to either consume them or sell in 2 months. I am down to 4 boxes since last week. I just joined Dec 22. But I am not laying my back any sooner. It's too early to declare victory. LOL! Bottom line is hardwork over your passion. I have loved selling since grade school. Now, I went back to it. BTW, I still work full-time. This still gives me a daily living. The rest are extra money. Later on, I want to change things the other way around. Business as my major financial source and employment as an extra money.
