I still remember the first time I received a payment from my online work, particularly PTC. That was on January 23, 2012 in the amount of $1.08. I was so happy way back then because I was able to convince myself that I am doing the right thing. I used to have doubts that I could really earn anything online. So how can I convince anybody if I can’t convince myself?
That was the start of everything. I became more serious with my online activities. Although I was called for a training during the time, I would still device ways and means in order to continue with my online work whenever I had free time. Time went by swiftly. It’s been 10 months that I have been struggling. I can say that I am successful in my own little way.
Although I was not able to achieve my goal yet, somehow I am sure that I am on the right track. I must admit it was not easy for me but I am proud to say that I was able to do it. Just need some minor revisions on the previous plan and I am sure I will be more successful in the days to come.
How about you my dear friends, can you share how you get started with your online career?
Have a nice day everyone!

I think if you have a realistic goal you can reach it. I have written about 1400 articles for yahoo voices. I make $2 for every 1000 views. I usually make at least $2 a day and sometimes $3 when I reach 1500 views. Over the course of any month I can make between $60 to $70 in a month's time. Even when I don't write anything in the month I will make about $60 a month because my work is always being viewed.
I would like to make more money online. I'm thinking of finishing my college courses in medical transcription and medical coding and billing so that I may be able to work for an agency online from home. One of my friends makes about 12 cents a line working from home as a medical transcriptionist. She does that at home and she can enjoy her gardening and whatever else she wants to do without having an outside job.

Haven't you heard about and tried Hubpages.com? A follower of mine in there estimated that you can earn roughly $1 for every 300 page views. Now this gets me excited to publish more articles in that platform. If ever you want to give it a try, just follow this link to the sign-up page: http://hubpages.com/_stalwart/user/new/.

Well I started my online ventures years ago. And at first, I am also hesitant to invest time and effort on the things that I am not sure would work. But I told myself to just try and if I failed, at least at tried and will live with no regrets. So I devote time to study all the things that I needed to know and after few months, I prove that we could really earn money online.
But due to certain circumstances, I stopped for a few years. But now I'm back. And I have no hesitation now to spend a lot of time and effort. Because I know that we could really earn money online

Hi allen! Thank you for sharing your experience on how you started out and I'm glad that even you paused for a while, you still have this interest to come back which I think is a very wise decision.
Like how many years ago did you start actually? What was the difference then as compare to the present situation online? You know, one reason why I was not able to think about this opportunity earlier is because of lack of access online. But I am really a person full of ideas. So when I was able to buy my own laptop, one thing that think about is how to maximize its use and earning from it is one of that.
Thank you for sharing!

So you mean there's no much changes. Only that there are new sites that come and several innovations were introduced.
Thanks.
