When I told my mom I found an online earning site,she laughed.She hardly believed that it was very possible.Maybe it is because that idea is very new to her.I said to myself I would prove her it is very possible when I have my first cashout.hehe.
Have you experienced the same when you told your family that you are earning some money online?How did they react when you proved that it is very possible to earn online?

well yes my husband was shocked to see it.though my first earning was not that great one,but i could at least prove him that i am doing some productive with my laptop.i have always been accused of wasting my time and energy sitting on the laptop,but now at least my husband doesn't excuse me for this.
i wish i could get linked with some high earning sites that can pay me big and respectable amount.

My mom also accused me of wasting time,energy and electricity by staying in front of the computer for a long time.She asked me about what I was doing so I told her I was making money.She laughed maliciously.:)I said to myself that I was going to prove her that I was telling the truth so she would no more think I was just wasting time using the computer.

Yeah, i can say that it happened the same to me. Generally my mother is more practical than me in every aspect of my life. I am more like my father in certain things. My mother always says that i should be more concrete in the things that I do. So that when I talked to her about the possibility to earn something on line, she didn't answer anything, she just changed the topic during our discussion. Anyway even if I show her one of the payments I receive on line, she just continue being a bit sceptic about the forms of earning. Perhaps she belongs to another philosophy of earning and of life.

I think they don't believe because earning online wasn't possible during their times yet.
I know my mom will believe me when she sees the real cash I produced from earning online.

I also thought it's impossible to earn online but here I am. LOL I proved myself wrong. Although I imagined earning more than this but I'm good with this. It's just a simple task anyway, posting and responding to posts while earning a few cents isn't bad at all. You don't really have to work hard to post your discussions here too. All you have to do is narrate your life experiences and you already have a discussion.

When i told my parents about it, they were happy for me. At least , they say i got some extra earning aside from my full time job.
I showed them my earnings online when i am logged on and made them read some of my discussions also. They are amazed at this kind of site.

My mom has no interest with the computer. Maybe it's because she has been a stay home mom throughout her married life. Though, she's a first year medical student when she eloped with my father.
She's more into gardening and watching TV, while my father has already difficulty reading the articles at the net because he said they're so small to read. Though, he uses it whenever he has to make some documents for some cases he still handles for his clients.

My mom also didn't believe me until i earned some money but frankly earning online is not easy , too many sites becoming scams and very less money to earn and even less opportunity for indians. One can earn money online but a job offline is way better as it pays very much better than online and they don't become scam.

Yes,offline jobs are very good because they give us more money,but there is still good things about online jobs.Although they aren't a very good producers of money,working online gives us more time to stay at home and bond with our families.:)

My mom also did not believe me in the first place until i have proven her and showed her my payment.
Same thing with my friends.
I am having hard time explaining to them that i do earn online and they do not want to join me either.
It's hard to convinced them..and they prefer to stay with social sites that never pays.
have a good day

It is really a waste of time to stay in social networking sites that don't pay.One example is facebook.I no more stay in facebook for even just five minutes as I spend more time here in mylot now.
I know my friends will consider signing up when I show them my payment proof.:)They will be shocked.hehe.

Actually at first I wasn't planning to tell my mom,but she was wondering why I was staying at the front of the computer for a longer time.She asked me the reason why,and I just told her I was trying to earn online.I had no choice.:)

When I told them about the idea of earning online, they laughed at me saying that is not possible. Good that I showed them my 'earnings' here for them to somehow believe what I was telling them, but some are waiting to see money money move into PayPal account to be fully convinced. I know they won't believe it forever because of PayPal regulations here on Mylot. Anyway, I love being here...

I think my mom will only believe me when my paypal balance has increased.I am not very surprised that she is like that because there aren't such things during their times.:)

My parents didn't believed either, specially when your first online money comes from online poker. Now, they used to, but my mother still don't like this.

Oh that's bad.They didn't believe even you have had your payout?

Well that 's very possible. At first people who have no idea about making money online will surely laugh or even won't believe you. Even me at first was completely amazed when I read blogs that people can actually earn money online for free. Good luck and I hope you can prove your mama wrong.

I think I can prove her wrong.My first payout is almost in my hands.I need to wait only just few days to prove her wrong.:)

I think most Filipinos just aren't used to anything "online" compared to other races such as the Americans. It's not uncommon to hear Americans having their own blog. Even shopping online is a scary idea to most Filipinos.
I haven't told a lot of people about my online job. I'm worried about getting that reaction LOL. I don't want to be distracted by other people's opinion, so I don't let people know about my blog.
When I told my mom about this, her first reaction was, "Is that possible? Won't they steal your money?" It's hard to explain Paypal and blogs to her. I just told her I know what I'm doing.
I decided to try blogging after learning about its earning potential. I thought, if I could earn through writing, why not? Instead of spending my free time playing Facebook games, I can write instead. I'm not trying to prove anyone anything. I just want to have an additional income by doing what I love.
I hope you can prove to your mom that it is possible. Good luck to you ferbjohn!=)

Yes,many Filipino are afraid to buy stuff online.When I told my mom I was going to buy a phone online she asked if the seller would really send the phone to me.She had many negative thoughts like the seller sending defective item or not sending it at all,etc.Because I respect her I just didn't buy online,but I know her thoughts were absolutely wrong.
I am now patiently doing my best to prove them earning online is possible and also to add more cash to my wallet.:)

In fact,I haven't told my family about online earning.I'm here just for english practices.That'll be better to make some extra money,so I think I would tell my family when get first paid,but I don't expect it happen soon.It's a good thing for you to prove your mother that you can earn money.Go for it.

she will be surprise,how much you can earn if you have the time to donate.It's is new to a lot of people,because when i tell a friend she was.and then she started to ask me how? an when i explained it to her she was like wow.
then after a few day she quit an say it too hard ......
I remember my when my ask me one day what i do on the internet,and i respond by saying work she too an say she don't see one check as yet.
but if i work harder i could make more,but i have to have the time to spare for my hatband an my son.

Yup! A good idea, my friend. Because there are people really don't believe that we can make money online just by doing a simple task.
Even my brother and sister did not believed that I can make money before till I withdraw my earning from paypal.
My friend also didn't believed about it. In one of the social networking site called tagged most of my friends there didn't believed. If I am allow to post my payment proof there it might be attractive to them...but sad to say the site didn't allow any html or posting of such image...

Action speaks louder than words. It is good to stay calm till you get the 1st payout and then publish your success. People around are so depressing at times[. When i say it is possible, few ask if they can make 200 dollars per month spending couple of hours a day.
Even i told my friends that i am working online to make some money. Few do not accept few say it is a complete waste of time. However, i am sticking to my plan. Consistency and dedication will definitely get some passive income on internet. The only issue is you need to do a lot of research to reach your targets
