What is your summer earning goal?

I always set a summer earning goal. I have a bit more free time because I work in the school system. Last year my summer earning goal (cash out amount) was $500. I kind of cheated a bit on that one and did not cash out on a few of my sites, or upped the cash out threshold so it would not automatically send to my paypal account in May.
This year I am expecting less of myself. That $500 was the difference between my school year pay and my summer pay without having to pay for childcare and having my insurance taken out. We needed that to live off of.
Since I moved to a different position and am paid through the summer, all online earnings are going to be fun money.
I also got a summer job teaching swim lessons. It will only be about $30 a week, but I also get a discounted membership to the gym and half price swim lessons for my child.

That $500 was when I was not working and was over two and a half months. It was like $5 a day. I earned through many different sites, and would only spend 15 minute increments online the rest of the time was spent with my day to day living. I would get longer amounts of time when my daughter was napping.

i never thought of having a summer earning goal. what i make is yearly goal for my online activities that make me earn some money. i think you just gave me a good idea. why not breakdown a year into workable and smaller period like quarterly or by season? in that way, it is more realistic and achievable to have some figures as a goal. thank you for this discussion.

I have just taken the decision to stop doing what I was doing before, and start earning full time on the internet. I was once at the stage where I could make $100 per day, and I would love to be able to get up to that stage again. I think that I would be able to do that before the end of the summer if I worked hard and thought hard about the things that I could do in order to earn some more money. The good thing about working on the internet is that you can literally work for the whole day if you want to, and if you want to take a day off then that's entirely up to you.

Heya, right now I don't have any earning goal for the summer but yes I do have an earning goal for only a month. I want to earn $10 or more in a month. I have my holidays going on, so I am completely free and I can earn that much. But spending a lot of time doing mylot makes me feel lazy. And I prefer surfing Facebook more than mylot. Due to this, I don't reach my earning goal. I wait for tasks to come up through which I can earn more money. But tasks don't seem to be available more often.

I want to try and earn at least $100. I recently got back into the hobby of autograph collecting and I want to try and get some money to buy some autographs. I would also like some money to get other things like clothes, movies and music. I haven't gotten a job yet but I'm looking around. I've also been looking for ways to make money online.
