There is no quick and easy, genie way to make money online. It takes a consistent effort, whether you are training or investing. You usually need to build or enhance your skill set for learning. There are many places that will allow you to discuss or click and you can make some money but more than likely, it will not provide the type of income that you can live off of. If you develop your writing skills, you may be able to build a site and move into more serious money-making as a serious blogger or writer (and that is not to say you cannot make nice money with squidoo or some of the other content based sites----but once again, there is definitely a skill to building high quality lenses or real pages that real people want to read).
I am a true learner at heart and I believe that skills can be learned and tooled so that they can benefit you on-line but there is no magic bullet and I am a huge proponent of sites that actually train you in ways that allow you to function within their site as well as others.
If you want to make money online, figure out what your strengths are and put in the time, effort and due diligence to see how you can use them in an on-line environment to make money. You may be a great writer, a phenomenal photographer....Dig deep and use your talents to propel you!

Dear
It are right there is no easy way to find money making ways online I am down to four sites and only 3 I know for sure pay.Superpoints ,swagbucks and mylot.Superpoints gives me a couple of cents in my email each day (use invite code sugar to get in) swagbucks I use the android app from time to time and I think you know about mylt which I earn 1-7 cents a day.Oh I almost forgot i also use megatypers which I like but I will soon know if it pays or not.All of these things gives me a monthly online income of about 5-10$.Its not much because I am not online as everybody else and i don't really need the money sometimes I donate some of it to charity and this month I am going to by a vitual credit card by vcc shops so I can buy mostly anything with my PayPal money.I don't really write for money ,I mean I do use mylot but sites like Triond i tried them an try just didn't really work out for me!I even tried post loop but that wasnt. Working for me.I like mylot better than post loop because you can post about anything and it's very easy .Ste postloop pays a little more but if you work hard on mylot then you can earn just as much and probably more.

You are in the fortunate position of not looking to make a fortune online. Many people are here looking for a steady or a consistent income and that takes's a different kind of perspective. It seems you come online and earn for fun, for extras and donations and I think that is wonderful. The types of sites that you mentioned really won't earn serious money unless you are referring lots of active members (you mentioned superpoints, swagbucks, postloop {writing well and referring} etc....).
I just recommend that people begin to look within, be honest about what they are good at (or want to become good at) and then work from that space. Instead of looking at -all the shiny "get-rich" quick ideas that sprout up daily on the internet. What do you do for a living, for earning?

Hi Beaufly, well, nice advice. But i heard some of the people are very good in making money online. Here itself you can see our members they say they are earning much more money from online. They will be having many activities as you said. One thing, we must spend more time on the internet and know right way to invest our time and skill.
Have a nice day.

Definitely gaining the understanding and then acting on information and (how you expend your) time is essential. Many people do make a lot of money online but it is usually because of a certain set of skills that they are utilizing in ways that are making them money (being able to monetize an idea). I am also thinking about how they take an idea and bring it to fruition (actualization). I think there are many ways to earn but I am talking about creating a sustainable income.

You are quite right when you say that there really is no easy way that you can earn money online. This is actually one of the most annoying things about earning on the internet, because when I tell people that this is what I do, they tend to think that it must be easy, and that I must be able to just sit at home and relax all day without having to put any effort at all into the work that I am doing. This is not the case, and I often spend several hours working for nothing more than pennies, for the sole reason that I know that it is going to be a good investment into my own future if I work hard now to be able to secure a stable and continuous income.

People who are not online or have never worked online have no clue. They think it's like being on facebook all day. Really? Last, I checked no one was making any serious money on facebook except Zuckerberg and his crew. Earning online is an education in and of itself so the time that you are spending should payoff for you because you are learning and building (just like you would in school or learning while creating an off-line business).
Some people bash what they don't understand. Most people did not understand Facebook, Twitter, one note and I could go on and on. Most businesses are not understood at first by the masses but as we know, they catch on quick........LOL

This is a great encouragement. I believe many people wants to find their luck online since they can work at the comfort of their homes. Though there is a good chance to find a lot of jobs, they still need a lot of hard work and needed skills. Good for me because I earn thru writing and writing is my passion. One must also explore and explore for opportunities to make money online.

This is a very good advise most especially to those who are just starting their online career.
