Just curious, all of us dreamers and believers out there.... Anything can happen right? I am still hoping for something that is going to help me make those few extra dollars from home... I have signed up on helium and text broker... Hoping to some day be a freelance writer... HOPING... I read yesterday a Mylotter had taken online courses.... Is that necessary, yes I know it would add a lot more possibility but is it essential to have schooling??? Are my dreams of a freelance writer too far out there???

Just do what I do and try to find as many sites as you can that you know pay and all added up together they should be a nice little income but certainly not enough to live on. At least not the ones I found. I'm actually going to work online. I'm taking classes to become a medical transcriptionist next month. They last from a half a year to a year then I should be able to get some work going in that field. You could do something like that. It should only be 3 hours or so a day to complete it in a half a year including weekends off. Then you can make a proper living doing that online.

Awesome advice, I have a few sites that pay out.... juggling them all is a challenge! But I am noticing I can make a few extra bucks here and there. If I can pay one bill at a time from on line work I will be satisfied!
I thought about and looked into medical transcribing, but my gf went to school for medical assistance work. She grad about 4 years ago, she said even then they were testing equip that transcribed the reports on the spot. I hope you find success in that, she made the comment that it was a dying field. But I hear a lot of people making a decent living off of it. Good Luck with it.

thanks very much, I'm looking forward to it. the worst that can happen is that I have a certificate under my belt if I don't like it. At least I'll have graduated that class and have that. my favorite sites that I use that bring in some good money are Beezag, Microworkers, and most of all Mturk. Mturk you can connect right to your bank account, it doesn't have paypal.

online courses is not needed i think. Anything is possible in the internet its how you want to be successful is the problem.

Hi nicole =)
I'm also a newbie :)and just like you, I also wanna earn money online. I don't think online courses are necessary :)
We can ask other Mylotters for some sites, and tips on how to earn bucks :)
Your dreams of becoming a freelance writer is definitely not too far :)
Maybe it isn't there for you yet, but it'll come, in His perfect time =)
Goodluck =)
