i wonder why so many people call themselves online worker when they make just less than 10 dollars monthly from online jobs.
i think many people now have been "scammed". seeing so many scam sites which offering 100 dollars in a day wihtout any skill. that is very bad thing. even worse they pay for that site

it's true, on my experience I have have scammed once.. those website who tells you that you can earn more than $100, i think this is not true..

Working online requires some skills and be creative. We need to learn it slowly one by one. Unless if we do have a product-writing, services or real items then I am sure one can have it just like regular job. If we just participate from website's programs like what we do know it's a little bit hard and we need to know it whether it is fake/scammed sites or not. They need to try them first in order to learn so next time they could know how to differentiate scammed and real sites.(^^)

About being called as online worker, for me as long as you earned from it we can consider it as a job. Side job or real job both are fine to me. Why can't we called it as that if they spend the same hours like regular job? Is it because of the money they earned? We should be open and they may called it whatever they like.(^^)

when i go to an online paying site, where it requires and initial amount, i don't pursue it. ALso when i go to a site that is boring to do, i don't pursue it also.
That's why , i only like Mylot because i enjoy it, while i earn extra online.

yes, that's always my perceptions, of sites who asks for initial investment. It's better to avoid them.

Earning online is very hard especially if you are not a virtual assistant.

I am not earning a lot because I have an offline work. Maybe if I will resign things will change and I can focus with my two blog sites. My old blog has potential, this maybe will help me to earn more than ten dollars a month. I am planning to be a virtual assistant because I encountered people who are earning decent money by being in that position.

I'm still new in making money online. So I never called myself as a online worker. I heard some scam site but I'm very careful about it because I really don't want to experience that thing. Its sounds scary.. I'm glad mylotters discuss about scam sites so I can have guide what is good or not..

People called themselves in that way not personal but a way of marketing strategy to find something good on the net...I called it interpersonal marketing alliance. Because that will encourage anyone to be your affiliate and make some money from them...
I don't know what others opinion about this things but I never consider myself in an online jobs but categorized myself belong to those people to make some money online

Hello, wulania! is it possible to agree that we disagree on this issue, for no other reason on my behalf (i've got plenty on my mind) except to get the story straight because it is pretty... vital. here's the deal: we, each one of us --- can't afford too keep going and lying to ourselves, blaming outside forces for the consequences which our actions bring about. nobody can fore-see the future, if a company's efforts go bunk than they're a scam, right ... wrong. the best thing they can try to go for when they bust is to save face and thanks to ill-conclusive uninformced commentetors like ... ourselves they just disappear and the stinky reputation stays. well truth of the matter is ... in every action which did not lead to the desired result there's a lesson to be learned and mistake not repeated and that's the point of the whole shebang --- the secret to success --- it's the constant determinate effort, not the prise; the journey, not the destination; the value, not the dollar; if you don't believe it --- ask any truefully rich person, whether he would part with any of the heard learned mistakes and repeat them for a sum!

I don't know why those people call themselves online workers when they don't earn enough to sustain a living, however that's their choice. bigger problem is people falling for scam sites that offer you hundreds of dollars quickly which obviously are all scams, so I feel bad for those believing those scammers and even some investing into their companies

It is true that the internet has so many scam sites, and that there are so many victims. It is a sad reality. I just can not figure out why there are so any scam sites, and yet they can not be stopped or policed. I think it is high time that there should be more regulations here, and that there should be more extensive punishments who come up with these sites with the intentions of cheating people.

I think it depends on a persons standard of living when it comes to calling yourself an online worker. Since I'm not making that much money, I personally view working online as a way to bring in extra income for myself. You are correct in saying that many people have been scammed. It's sad that this happens, but people need to do better research to prevent themselves from being scammed.

It is difficult to make money online but it also is possible to make far more than tem dollars a month. I average around fifty to one hundred a month depending on what I do - which includes a lot of article writing and other amazon turk work. plus all of the survey sites I belong to pay well. This month alone I cashed out a check for fifty dollars, thirty dollars in paypal at another site, I have almost 24 dollars here from this month, and also received 80 dollars in amazon gift codes from another survey site - which I made this month, not all year. Plus, I have 33 dollars on another site I can cash out any time. But for cashouts alone this month, the total is or will be 225.00. Not a fortune, but I am not supporting myself from this. I bought all my holiday gifts with money earned from the internet - I cashed in what I had earned at amazon turk which was a total of 220.00 for October and November's work. Plus I earned lots of amazon gift codes at other sites. I also forgot - I got a five dollar amazon gift code from swag bucks so that makes this month's total 230.00! If I had more time I could probably double what I'm making. I just don't want to be tethered to the internet all day.

Finding online jobs are not easy as there are many fake websites offering jobs or microworks and do not pay the workers when payout comes which is really bad. These day's more and more people are dreaming of getting a decent online payment as they feel they can work on their own time in their own comfort. But nothing is impossible here as one can also get decent money from internet if he works on legit sites and also works wisely spending little time and earning more. All these things does require expertise and there are also many people who are doing really well in online earnings

Hi wulania, These people called themselves "online workers" because they are in fact working and earning online no matter how small the payment may be. So the term is correct. Yes, there are many scam sites out there. One must be careful as these scam artists are very good at what they do i.e. scam innocent and gullible folks. Use your common sense. If something APPEARS to be too good to be true then IT IS is too good to be true. Just do your own research and due diligence. Read trusted forums and learn to take dubious opinion with a pinch of salt. After you have had experience you can tell which sites are genuine and which are not. It's really sad that one hears from time to time of people being cheated of their hard earned money through such sites. Have a nice day and happy mylotting!

You are cent percent correct.Offline jobs are always real and which pays you more. Many people are in hurry to make more money and because of that wasting their time and energy in working for scam sites. They are blindly doing works and they are not even ready to find whether the sites they are using is scam or not.

Many get scammed now a days. Before joining a particular site, one must research first all the things about the site. Do not waste time for scam sites. Pick reputable site like mylot. I am sure that after some exposure in online world, one could find a job that will definitely suit to him or her.
