Earning money online is not a perfect way of survival as many people think. It has a lot of disadvantages than advantages. The major disadvantage is health of the person which deteriorates gradually, even I can feel now, in the life of us. The other disadvantage is consistency. This is because the person who depends too much on the ways of earning online money can get serious negative results. Hence, one cannot depend too much online and offline task if far most better and reliable. Still online
money earning can be a chance to make living besides offline earning.
So,online earning is not an exact way for any person in this world.We must keep online work as our side business.

Well, I love working online. He he he.
I agree about the major disadvantage is health, like staying too long in front of a computer just to earn big. It depends on what site you are working, but as for me, its fine even though I stay too long in front of my computer. I have already a medicine to prepare in case I got sick because of slepless night and staying too much in front of my computer, ha ha ...and then, I drink tea too. Well, in case of emergency. Wait. I also drink milk too if we have milk here at home. See? He he

Hi Manasha it depends on how many figures you have as stream of income. I have two online figures. I have an eshop, and I`m on mylot. Some people has up to 8 figures of income. Some of them all online, some people mixed, and some people all offline.
The must important thing to survive is that you canĀ“t stop working. If you work, and love your work you will find success.
Good luck! Blessings Manasha... dainy

I disagree. My health's a LOT better since I've been earning online and, provided one treats online earning seriously (i.e. like a proper business) there is no reason at all that it should be negative.
The only reason offline earnings are "better" is because you're comparing two different things: an offline job (working for someone else) and an online business (working for yourself). Any self-employment brings with it a certain amount of risk, whether offline or online... the main difference is that people think online businesses don't need a plan, a strategy or any kind of commitment. They're wrong, of course.
I haven't had an offline job for about 4 years now and I don't miss it one little bit.

That has nothing to do with working online: it's your choice to not do what you must to be healthy. In similar fashion, many people are unhealthy with offline work because they can't be bothered to exercise.
Personally, since I've been working online, I've done more exercise because I take the time to do it. I'm not stuck in someone else's office or tied to my desk for 8 hours - I can stand up right now and go and walk for 30 minutes if I want to. In fact, I think I will... I'll go and buy some croissants.
Since there's nothing intrinsic to online work that stops you being healthy, your argument is moot. You just need to get into a better rhythm that promotes healthy living, rather than blaming work for something that isn't its fault.

I disagree your statement. My health is deteriorated and going worse still. I was better before with my offline tasks even though some disadvantages were there. The comparison comes due to health factor and I am supposed to do that in order to come at good conclusion to save my life.

I feel totally upset with the online work even though we have unlimited potential and independence. It is up to you to take the offline task in an effective way and there is nothing to do with offline task. We can spend a lot of time in offline tasks by doing exercises and interpersonal relationship

It really does depend on how serious your earnings are online. I know a few people who actually rely only on their online earning as their main income. They don't have any sort of offline job. Only online jobs are all they are doing to sustain their families needs. The income they get online is the only income that is feeding them and buying them their necessities. So I don't think it is impossible for us to have online income our main source of income.

I agree with you that earning money online is not a perfect way of survival by any individual, it may at best be treated as an extra-income but it can never be a substitute of any regular job. But I differ with your observation that it has detrimental effects on health because most of the jobs now are related with the Internet and so depend on the constant monitoring on the computer screen. So you cannot blame only the traditional ways of earning money online in this respect.

Hello
Surely online earning is not fast, and need lots of effort. And one can make income only if he knows the legit source. Well, that's why better we consider it as extra earning. We should keep doing our offline work too. But yes online earning as extra earning is surely good.
I know few people can earn lot just like extra earning. but not everyone have such skills. If some one knows how to use their skill online we can surely earn.

Haha that is not a problem to me,because I never take the online money to my saving or spending,I just take it as some extra income when I spend my time online,because as we all know,the income is so limited.

Hi Manasha.
Well it depends. If a person works overtime on hi/her computer then it is definitely harmful for that individual's health. However, if someone has mastered it and earns only by investing a very little amount of time then I think it is one of the easiest way to make living. For students who want to earn pocket money without doing a part time job, I guess online earning is a wonderful chance to exploit. Anyways have a nice day ...

Sitting in front of a computer more than 8 hours a day everyday is hazardous to one's long term health.
That goes for any job that requires doing the same physical motion over and over again.
But it doesn't have to be that way. There are so many software programs that can automate alot of repetitive tasks on the computer to minimize time.
The invention of filters to sort emails out automatically saves me at least 1 hour everyday.
Macros for office software and the web browsers automate logins into multiple sites per day.
Windows Task Scheduler or cron jobs on linux can run things at a set time.
One of my jobs requires me to travel to multiple spots per day. Map routing software saves the time it takes to map out point a to b to c etc...
Apps for the smartphone have not only saved time but money in finding and printing coupons, getting free stuff, and automated job listings. :)
RSS newsreaders are my best friend!!!
I replaced the scanner with the phone camera to submit reciepts for work. The share function on the phone makes it easy to send them over immediately. Before this used to be a whole process that took a good hour to do.
The affordability of technology in the last ten years has really made working online feasible timewise.
I do the same work now at the same pay rate, but twice faster because of broadband internet and the invention of the smartphone. :)

Hi Manasha. If a person has NO OTHER MEANS of income and there is a possibility to make money online, the person has only himself to blame if he/she does not pursue. At least there is a possibility to make something than sitting down and wait for money to come in hey.

For me earning online is only a part time job. They help me for my daily expenses in school. But I don't recognise it as my profession. That's why I study harder to find stable and profitable job someday.

A pleasant day Manasha,
What you have written is completely true. Generally working online is not an ideal work to replace an offline task. Especially if you are earning much on your offline job. However, if you have the proper arms and knowledge on how to earn more online, for sure, you will conclude in the end that your online earnings are much superb than what you get offline. In this case, I guess, if you have the perseverance plus the knowledge on how to do the process in the online world then your earning will be going tremendously high. So, it is not proper to just say, online earning is not a perfect way to survive. Indeed it is but it is like a dance that you must know how to sway with its rhythm.
