Its difficult time for online money makers as many free opportunities are sinking like paid to click , paid to read, paid to do surveys, paid to join, hyip sites many turning scams making it difficult to make money free.. ad sense also changed their rules and its quite difficult to keep your account safe.. affiliate marketing is too difficult and becoming hitech so new people can not compete with veterans so what is your strategy to survive this situation..?

I will be trying something new, like selling something online. I haven't started yet since I don't have the resources to materialize the plan. What I have was ideas first and I will be ready once I get financially secured. I already expected that sites do come and go. My earnings before were really good, I was able to buy a lot of things and shared the money with my family. But now that most of those sites closed down and some turned into scam, others changed their policy and their payment scheme lowered, the only thing I can do is to continue on the sites that still pays and hunt down some few sites that I can still earn money. But I don't rely on my earnings online. It is really too small today compared last year. As much as possible I can do work offline and online, so I treat my online income as part time only.

There are hundreds of way to earn money on internet, my friend, especially from working as a freelancer. I am quite new in such a domain and I already earned my first 50$ in a couple of days and I must say this is a great way to earn money. Being successful in life through it is quite hard since you must acknowledge several rules outlining the responsibilities of a successful individual.

Thats good to hear that you have made this much but is not true for many regular freelancers and even if you want to work as a freelancer you need to be focused on that line only...and you will not be able to work on other fronts.

Yes some online earning opportunities are sinking largely because site makers throw the site or opportunity up and out telling members they can earn, but they cant really afford to back up there claims, or the site admin just lie completely and have no intention of paying there members With that said there are still a few good earning sites out there still going strong they are just harder to find and require a lot of activity to earn from or take a long time to earn from.

It is very difficult when websites cannot be trusted. Some websites will fake their payment proofs so that they get more members investing, however I have my own strategies to ensure that I don't lose anything on these websites. Firstly, I will never invest any money into a website unless I have cashed out with them in the past. Also, I will not invest any money that was not made on that website first. Then, once I have made the first investment, I will invest 50% of the profits and keep 50%, until I am at the stage where I am happy with the income, at which point I will stop investing. However, I must point out that you do not get money for "free". You make more money for the website than they give to you.

Hey good strategy I too do the same when investing with investment sites right now there are three good investing sites giving 2% every day for my investment...and they are the easy way to make money without referring anybody..I pass a portion of my online earning to these kind of sites so to make effortless money daily from them,some portion goes for the subscription towards five multilevel marketing sites which I am promoting for long lasting income and left is used by me for the pc and internet expenses and some spending some buying etc.

I have noticed a shrink in making money online as well. I know that with a bad economy many people are looking for ways to make extra money in order to help make ends meet. I have a few ways to make extra money, but it realy does not help out much. I have a couple of sites that pay practically nothing. There are scams out there so be careful. I know if I am in doubt about a site I ask on here and always get an honest answer.

You are right in your observation. But we will have to try our level best to tide over the situation and will also keep in mind the age-old saying;'try, try and try again and you will succeed at last'.

I normally go on recommendations from magazines or the website money saving expert. It is so frustrating when you sign up to a website, fill in a million details only to find out that you have to pay and then your back to square one searching for another website whilst the one you signed up to bombards you with emails! I do think opportunities are popping up now all over the web. It's whether or not you can spot the good from the bad!
