What do you do to get $200 ? That's good enough, a lot of money. Would you like to share with me, how do you achieved self-employed on earning money in the internet ?

By searching only genuine jobs for genuine work. In my point of view $200 is not enough. I want to make more than $400 per month. This is my mission.
In few days i will soon post here, what i have earned and how much.

This word is best for this, Self Employed. At least we are not unemployed, we are self employed.

Good for you. I have been working online too for more than a year now. I consider it self-employed too like others are saying.

Working online can be considered as part-time, contractual, and self-employed or a full-time home-based business. They only despise you because they do not know nothing about the online job or an e-job (electronic job). If anyone asks you about your job, tell them you are a self-employed and you are working without a boss. Always bear in mind, as long as you are working, earning and receiving money you are not unemployed.

I'm beginner in earning money on the internet.
Maybe, they said it so because I have the educational background of legal scholar, who are able to find decent job.

Me too.. I am a beginner here working online for a month now. Maybe they don't want you to focus here working online because maybe it is a total waste of time. If your educational background of legal scholar, you have the chance to earn money online and with the real decent job. I guess, most of that career became successful in writing. They started on freelance academic writing, posting and bidding projects on a legitimate freelance site.

if you ask me, I would consider working online with very small income such as below $100 a month to be unemployed. Because being employed means you need to at least have an income that can sustain your living. If you are only earning $10 a month, do you consider yourself to be self-employed? I don't. Let's hope that we can really achieve self-employed status

opf course, squallming, ten dollars doesn't make you an online worker. It's just like a penny you see on the road. When you say you are working, it means you are earning big. Not just ten dollars. It must be 100 dollars and above to make it believable to earn online.
well, wulania, what sites are you earning from?

i love the online work. it definitely is not called 'unemployment'. i was employed but my work was online. how's that sound? it's this kind of job you can do at home but you need to go to an office to do it. and that third party 'office' and that another party 'client' get cut from what you are really paid. in the end, you get a little and they get the big part. why not do it directly with the person who pay you? the service you provide him is the same anyway.

So let them be. Their opinion doesn't matter. I earn online for entertainment purpose. I already have my day job, but hanging out online to answer a question or two wouldn't hurt
If you enjoy what you do, the go on with it. Don't listen to the haters.

I'm a student, so unemployed and I try to earn online, but lately I'm having no much luck earning any decent amounts, so I'm struggling through tuition payments :(
