I don't depend on earning online because I earn very low a month, a total of about a dollar for the whole month from the different sites I have commited. How much do you really depend on your online income a month? Is it a major or minor contribution for you?

I don't depend on nothing thats not coming in on time and in the same amount. I just started this site yesterday, and see that in order to earn your pennies. You gots to be on around the clock. Truly isn't worth it when you do the math. I have to admit, this site is alot better than facebook. No pressure in here to make friends or keep up with everything thats going on. I can jump from one topic to another and there is always so much to chose from.

I think after sometime, some of us are here not mainly because whether its worth it or not. Getting into conversations and sharing points and views here is great. And surely the amount we earn by being active is just a plus to this site. I believe most of us don't comment just for the sake of earning pennies jdizzy.
I agree with you TheworD. To earn from here, you need to be around the clock and most of us don't have the time to do that. Its just an advantage to get paid here.

if only i can earn more here but it is really impossible to just be depending on here. i am looking for a real job but so far i haven't found one. i am just looking for a home - based job right now.
so far, whatever i have earned here, i just keep it in my paypal account. i don't want to touch them first. i am saving it for something more important.

Well i say its depend upon you how much u invest in some trusted site which really pay and u earn a good amount from these sites like mbc, jss etc..
well i earn around $20 per day and with some investment and hope in this month my principle amount will be back and cont.. invest with the balance fund..
so i just say why waste your time to just earn a dollar in month with some strategies and planning and yes off course some investment you earn much more per day and makes around $500 per month easily...

Online earning only contributed a small portion of my monthly income, it does help a little bit in my financial situation and play a minor role for me financially. Hopefully i can increase my online earning as time go by, stick to those that are genuine and really pay for my online effort and time spent, then everything will be fine for me, Well you know, it take time to filter out those promised us ton of online money but end up scamming us of our time and hard work.

I wish I could make enough to better my financial situation, but sadly I am unable to. I am not working because Randy has a serious foot condition where he cannot work and I am taking care of him fulltime. My mother wants me to hire a nurse, but I refuse to because I am capable of taking care of him myself. I belong to a couple of sites, but do not make much. I am a graduate student at an online university. I am ,looking for other ways to make money online.

Hi randylovesdar, I'm glad you look onto the bright sight of your life and try to find means and ways to accomodate to the situation. Have you tried writing articles yet? Though you need time to earn more from writing articles, I think the potential to earn is more especially when you have a detailed and great content.

A pleasant day DiaJ88,
With reference to your main topic, online earnings really help me a lot. From here, I am getting my daily allowance and revolving fund that I use to catch up some needs and expenses. Hence, I am also using that fund to buy some goods and stuffs that I used everyday. That is why, I am really working hard and serious everyday in order for me to sustain my daily budget.

It's just a really really minor contribution to my financial
situation. Even if it doesn't really help me a lot, it still helps
a bit in my personal needs, like for my pocket money, for an extra allowance,
or when I have to buy something important but not pricey. I want
to earn more so I can somehow help my mother in paying the bills.

i am in the same boat as you are i can not depend on my monthly earnings at all i think the most i have ever earned in one month was 40 dollars and that was just because i was able to cash out all my different sites at once i am lucky if i make 10 dollars a month and this if from the sites that lure you in saying you will make 500 dollars per day do its really depressing when you only get ten dollars at the end of the month...not even enough to put gas in your car (and its not like i am lazy and never work i used to spend 5 to 7 hours working online every night just to get ten dollars)

I understand the situation. I do join some sites that lure me and turn out everything was actually false. I used to wake up way early in the money so that I could be online for a few hours before going off to work. Comparing to working part-time outside and online, we could simply earn more from working part-time. But I still prefer trying out online for now. At least I could still relax while getting the few cents a day.

to be honest ive just started out trying to earn a few extra pennies on line , but so far it is proving very difficult ,to earn anything at all . so im just experimenting on here , on mylot , to see how much i can earn in one month. by going on for a couple of hours each day . i think i could earn a nice little bit each month , but im not holding my hat out for much . but i enjoy coming on here anyhow .
i have heard of some sites where they pay really well , then you find out that its all a con . i try to stay away from things that are to good to be true .

That's not really true. I know some people who depend on online earnings. Ironically most are stay at home moms and it always amazes me on how they make time for everything. If the busy moms could do it, why can't we earn just like them? I believe its about finding the right work online that is suitable for us.
And welcome to myLot! =)

I do not think many people really depend on their online earnings. I just use my online earnings to get random things that I may want. Basically the money that I use for hobbies. I use my real job money for essentials.

Well personally there are a lot of different things I am doing online as in myLot, and the 2 online/offline Businesses that I am doing. Some months are definately better than others in what I am earning, and personally it is always nice when I have the extra to use. For me it is a motivator, especially this site, and anytime I know I am earning something from it truly makes it more worth while.

as a starter, online earning is not much. but as time goes by, earnings should improve and increase. by reading experiences of others and learning from them, our strategies become richer and better to target known sites that are legitimate. ultimately it is about patience and experience. one must have something the s/he can offer to the internet. it can be time, skills like writing and marketing.

Earning online still doesn't represent a significant amount of money for me,but I'm making progresses and I'm confident that one day my earnings online will quite substantial.Until then I only see my online earnings as pocket money,but there are moments in life when those few extra bucks I have in my pocket from my online activities can be really useful,so I feel glad whenever I receive money from a site on which I work;even if it's a very small amount,it is also a little financial help for me.
