I know there are lots of members here who only rely to their online jobs because some of them are "stay at home" moms. I have my offline job now and I'm close to getting super tired of this work. I was just thinking, if I quit my job and have a rest at home and do mylot works and other online stuffs, do you think it can save me? Will I earn sufficient amount for my living? I was thinking, if I am lazy with my offline job now, there will be a possibility that I will become lazy with online works too. To those who has experiences, what can you suggest? I'd love to hear your thoughts my friends. Am I thinking good or just being lazy at work?

If you have other thing to do at home maybe you will be save but if you don't have it's difficult to sustain your daily needs if you depend only on your online earnings. Better to find any offline business that might can help you and you will not feel bored. I have offline job and business. I prepare to focus more on my business than having a regular job. I enjoy dealing with people so best for me to stay on my business.

I would love to have my own business too like a restaurant but since I don't have money to build it, I do work in the office to have money. But my salary here is not as big as I want it to be. that's why I am feeling lazy. I want to apply abroad so I will have a big salary but still searching for jobs. I was just wondering, if online jobs can save me, then I will pass my resignation right away. I know laziness conquers my mind now to be thinking of those ideas. I wish I could be like you who has her own business.

Before I went to other country back 2 years ago we opened a business with a small capital only. Together with my wife, we manage it properly and now it's improving and that's the reason why my wife were not dependent on the money I sent every month. Atleast I felt relax thinking about the money I can send her. Until such time we add another amount to our capital. In your case you can still start a business with a small capital. Later on it will become big.

I will try that out. Actually, me and my fiance has an online business but since our product is not merely a basic necessity and there are others who offer that kind, it wasn't that successful. So now, it's not active anymore. we saved a lot during those times. Maybe soon, we can come up with a good business aside from my dream of having a restaurant.

Hi, adnileb! If you create accounts on odesk, freelancer and elance, you could get an online job. Some jobs can be short term only but some employers could consider you to have them sign you on a contract for 6months to a year doing back office jobs or other jobs like telemarketing, article writing and a lot more. There is a demand for virtual assistants. If you have the skills and experience (well, not all jobs posted need experience), then you might just find a good online job for you. Some employers pay you on an hourly basis and some jobs are on a fixed rate.

Yup, I did! That was in 2010 when I learned all about them. I never knew anything about computers except use Microsoft word in helping my kids with their researches but having been exposed to different jobs online, I was able to do a lot with the help of some online friends I met. There are a lot of jobs on data entry, lead generation, appointment setting, debt consolidation. It is like working on a call center but only you are based at home.

Have you tried those that you mentioned? If yes, and if they are legit, then yes, I might try it. But I am not actually good in writing articles or any kind. For myself, I am not satisfied with my writings and I wonder that they might not be satisfied too. Anyways, I will try that out. Thanks!

I'll try it out later then. But I was kinda confused with the data entry jobs. And since I am not a good writer, it will take me a long way to be there maybe.

I don't think mylot alone can sustain a living. Unless you can convinced at least a hundred people to register under your ref link and must be an active mylotter. Right now I am a stay home mom (almost 2 years now) and I can say that mylot and other earning sites are not enough to sustain a living. Maybe just enough to pay some bills and have some extra for ice cream and groceries since earnings varies how active we participate with online earnings.

My mylot earnings is enough to pay my bills and as I have wrote- I have other earnings online where I am also earning a bigger amount more than what I am earning here in mylot.

So you still earn mmuch to pay the bills. Do you earn much every month so you can pay the bills monthly too? I haven't withdrawn my earnings yet and I am just planning on saving it there. How I wish I could be super active here so I can earn super big. I have few referals but only one of them is active. I even sent them a message of motivation but didn't work.

You earn bigger amount on the other sites? Wow, that's great! I only have mylot as my online job for now. I will try joining to those that they mentioned here. Thanks!

Unless you have the next best idea for an online business, I don't think it advisable to leave your day job to rely solely on online income. Online income for most people is erratic and unstable. Even if you freelance, you'll find some days when you don't have any work at all and some days when you have not enough time in the day to keep up with the demand from clients. Keep your offline work and do the online work part time and save the income to start your own business offline. Like you say, you want to open a restaurant. Perhaps with your online income and some savings from your offline work, you will have your dream of having a restaurant come true some day. Good luck.

Be careful there, adnileb. If you're not allowed to use the Internet for personal things at work, better not do it or you'll get into trouble. I hope you just be careful.

Yes, I will save money for that dream. I know it can happen just don't know when. Like most people here commented, I should not quit my offline job. Maybe soon this laziness will leave alone. Right now, I am at the office, using the internet which they say is prohibited.

Hello beli, well I think if you have enough earning sites like you can earn as much as 10k a month or more, you can save big enough from there. I have read some members here before that they have been earning such in sites like odesk or something like those which can be part time or freelance jobs, which can be treated as online earning or real jobs as well. But I don't have skills for that. I can see more on IT jobs there and there's an exam, if I am not mistaken. Oh well, about laziness, sometimes you can feel it cause you might feel bored about the same old routine everyday. There are moments we have to motivate ourselves to get things done and don't think about being lazy cause it will soon eat you, don't let it bring you down. Always tell yourself everyday that you can make it through. You have to know what are the goals you want to achoeve so you can do all things in a day. Be productive as long as you can.

Tried browsing from odesk and oh my I was lost. Well I think too that it is not a good site for me. I have set my goal and for now, it is to reach the minimum payout for next month. And so far, I cannot clearly see yet if I could make it. If laziness will leave me until the end of the month, then surely I can reach the payout. So have you tried joining to other sites aside from mylot?

It's not active anymore I guess. I never got the payment. Anyways, never heard of that SWA but in case it will ask me first to pay upon registering, well the answer is NO. I really don't trust those kind of sites even though others might say they are legit. Same question will bug me over and over again like, "Why do I need to pay??" Most of the members here suggest many sites that includes article writing. I am not good into writing articles that's why I am finding it hard to join. Maybe I will try first to make an article before joining.

Ah, okay. I have seen some MLM businesses before but haven't joined to any of them. There was one I know, AIM Global and I don't like it. I am still downloading the link of SWA posted in Facebook, about their business. It takes me longer time to buffer and I prefer downloading them so I can still view them in the future. So do you wanna try joining in SWA?

Hi friend, it is really hard to make a great income from online jobs. If you are good in writing and have the ability to write good articles with correct spelling and grammar, you can make a good income from your articles by selling them in good sites. Affiliate marketing is another way to make income, you will earn a good commission by selling products. But all of them are based on our luck and hard work. Surely we need a good offline job for our living

Hi, VP.. I am not good in writing. I cannot even make something on my blog as I wanted to do everyday. I want to try though. Have you tried selling your photos? Will it be good too? I tried passing 10 photos and still under verification now whether I will pass or not. If not, then goodbye to them. If yes, I have to submit photos again and I will earn only if someone will download the photo. Why is it so hard to earn money but so easy to spend them away?

we must be careful while using our photos to make money. Some persons may misuse our photos in unwanted sites. You are really bold enough to make money from your photos

Once laziness start to bite on a person everything seems to come to a standstill. And when that happens your world will be clouded with miseries. Start motivating yourself to stay put in your current job and only take online jobs as sideline income. To be really successful online earner you need to be established and that may take years to achieve before you make a decent income online.

Yes, you are right. Laziness visits me every now and then and tries to pull me out of my work. But since I have nowhere else to go, I fight laziness with all my might. I know this will be for a short period of time. But right now, cannot think of anything to motivate myself. I am just looking forward for the holiday bonus and next year for this year's income tax return. Thanks!

I would not recommend you to quit your regular job and rely on earning from online sites like myLot. Although they are legit and remit money to your account. It is definitely not enough for a living. It may only be enough for your internet bill and nothing else. What you should do is find a regular online job wher you connect to a company computer to do your work. Also if you rely on online sites for a living, chances are you will be spending 12 or more hours a day to earn more. I believe this is not what you would like.

Thanks for the enlightenment. I would love to have my offline job still but maybe sooner, I will move into a different country so that I will be compensated better. I maybe far from my family but I can endure that as long as I can sustain their needs, right? I really want to leave my work here and go to other country. That's my goal for now. Thanks!

Hi adnileb, I very much doubt that you can survive on mylot and other online sites as you need to be highly skilled in internet marketing if you are to succeed. Don't believe those who tell you that it's easy to make a living and more doing online jobs. They are few and far in between. Of course, there are many 'gurus' who make a lot of money 'teaching' lay people how to make lots of money on the internet! I think you'd better stick to your offline job until you develop online skills or find better opportunity elsewhere. Stop being lazy and think of those without a job who would be so glad to be in your shoes.

As you don't say what it is you do, I can't judge whether it's better for everyone if you keep doing that or if you quit. But that's the thing: whether "working" online or offline, you're doing it to help everyone. If you think you're only doing it to help yourself, why would anyone help you?

I'm for one have a day job which covers almost all of my bills, food stuff and premiums. I'm thinking of getting myself more time on online things such as this site, but I know, I have to spend more time to get some more dollars. Just to compensate, however, I need to have an extra source, a small business, possibly, that could augment my earnings, Good hting, my wife is supportive to these plans. Thanks.

I think when you already have a family of your own, you're more into exploring things to earn. As for me I don;t have my own family yet and when the time comes that I will have one, I want to have a small business. And maybe when I retire from my offline work, I can work full-time here in mylot.

$100????!!!! Wow, that's a big one! Well, when I convert it into Philippine peso, it's surely big for an online job! I wonder when I can have that amount. Cheers to you!

Hi adnileb, many mylot friends give their ideas about your thougts. I couldn't agree any more you would give up your offline work. oh, just my point, decision is yours. I think you are a chinese girl. Am i right? Please try to encourage yourself to overcome the laziness and the feeling of no direction. In your spare time, to know more about your friends' condition who are working harder than you. You may be nervous then want to set an clear objective to get better life. Ony by online job is unrealistic for life. Good luck. Alice

You think I am a chinese girl? I am a Filipino. You must have been deceived by eyes. Anyways, I will try my very best to overcome this laziness and yes, 'the feeling of no direction'. I like that. =) But the part where you said to know more about my friends who are working harder, I couldn't agree on that. Most of my college friends are living a happy life and working in a wonderful company. I'm thinking, what happened to me? Haha! But I know, in time, I will have that happy life and work too. Thanks for your encouragement, Alice! I can see that you are just new here. Welcome to mylot! ~and you are from China. Nice to meet you. =)

Don't depend on Mylot and other online works to save you, unless you care sure other online works pay you sufficiently enough for your cost of living, Mylot only pay you bread crumb so you need other higher paying online works. They are not actual job for supporting you except let you earn little bit extra income alongside your regular paycheck for you to have an extra cup of ice tea or coffee.

...extra cup of ice tea or coffee? I thought to have a chicken for the bread crumbs. Just kidding. I knew it would be hard. As for the moment, I know it's just laziness. Thanks for the advice. I should just work a little harder here.

Hi friend! I still suggest that you maintain your offline job or have a business. Unless perhaps we have an investment site where we can earn while doing other online activities, then I can say that staying online would be enough. But if we rely on pay per activity, I don't think we can do it. Because our time may not be enough also. Have a nice day!

Yeah, you're right. And since sometimes I am lazy to type too, it may be impossible to rely just on our online jobs. Hope this laziness and boredom in me will soon disappear. What I just wanted for now is to have a rest and long vacation maybe. So tired of going to work everyday.
