Why do many people not believe? There is money to be had online. I think the primary reason is the scammers around. Also I think there is a sort of job mindset in most people. People prefer to work for others rather than work for themselves. What do you guys think? Agree/disagree? Why?

Yes, I know mylot has paid. I have got paid. I have infact posted a screenshot of it in one of the threads. But, my main point in this thread is a general one. People in generala re petrified of trying out anything online. I see many people who will ask 100 questions even for joining somethign liek mylot which does not change you any monetary investment. What are the reasons?

They don't believe because there are so many liars that make it seem like everything is a scam. Most people barely try something and then give up before being successful.

Yes unaware, these two reason: investment and scam. I think mylot has done a wodnerful job to make people realize that it is neither. There are many sites on internet whcih are neither too. People need to shed their employee mentality.

Many people do not believe because they have tried many sites and have been scammed. I dont agree with your statement about a mindset, because working to earn is the same whether you have a job or your own business. In fact i think more working class people try online jobs to supplement their incomes. A question to you....Are you making money online? If yes, on which sites? how many hours per day do you work? How much money have you ACTUALLY RECEIVED? Average per month? Per hour?

I agree with you - I think it's the amount of scammers that are out there that really deter people from trying to make money online. We hear all the time "if it's too good to be true, it is!" and we usually live by that. Then we hear lots of stories about people getting scammed and saying "stay away from that web site/business/etc." Also, I think most of us don't have the desire and drive to become entrepreneurs. It is easier to work for someone else because we don't have to think about all the logistics - we just go to work, do our jobs as dictated to us by our bosses, and go home. If we have our own businesses, we have to do every aspect of running a company. Just my two cents! Good topic. :) ~Wyrdsister

agree because now a days so much fraud is going on net ie cyber crime that why people do believe in earning money online . they go for safer options like doing jobs. they prefer to work for others rather than work for thenselves. i think they should do job but make sure that they dont totally neglect the other sources of earning easy money by just not beliving in it.

Yes jobs are safer. There is no doubt. However, safety does not helps one achive dreams. Chasing the dream requires one to be in a business of his own. With the boom of internet online business is increasingly becoming a significant part of business itself.

i am in the process of starting my own business on line in the spring, and was glad to see your comments. I agree that there is money to be made on line and not by scamming.

I'm somewhere in the middle. I have a day job and I do online stuff to make extra money in the evenings. I personally don't think you can make enough money to live off of solely doing online sites, I think it's great for an alternate though.

I believe in online money but there are very few genuine sites which will pay. There are many scam sites and frauds online and many people have had a bad experience many times by not getting the money and that is the reason many people don't believe on online earning.

I think that you can make some money online but there are also many scam sites that make claims that you will make big bucks. The best ones seem to be where the earnings are moderate and the site is reputable and used by many regulars

you see what the problem with online money making offers? that they offer you money for your money, i other word if you want to make money you have to spend money in offers you have no use for or worse yet don'thave the money to throw away. So if you looking for cash what in the world would make these people believe that u want to spend money?

Achyuta, such people are only over-smart. They do not want to go in depth of anything, just start commenting and commenting on all the things. If a mass is saying anything, there is every possibility of being right. But their mindset do not allow them to try at least for once. I don't think, there is wrong in visiting net money making sites. First we should read FAQ carefully. This provides us a general overview about that site. If it suits us, we should go ahead otherwise stop it. But without knowing anything, just pass on negative message is not good. I avoid such people.

My answer is also thae same that there are many liers, gamblers and hackers all over ther net. There a normal person cannot think of making money online. I think there not many sources to teach the person abouut how to make money online. Many are just wasting time on internet doing nothig...

I agree with you on that one. Yes it is imperative that one does proper search to see if the particular site is indeed paying before making any investment of time or money. Mylot is indeed a rare opportunity in that regard.

i guess it's not that easy to give your trust just like that on the internet so i guess they don't believe it. and also, it sounds impossible that you can earn in the internet that easy. another thing is, they were not able to give it a try so why would they believe something that they didn't experience.

Most of your responder has said the truth, a lot of people out there frustated, because they were only scammed, scammed, and scammed again, including myself. I believe that there are many good money maker program too. Why do most peole don't believe make money online is because, They DO NOT KNOW if they can make etxra income from internet. In my country, a lot of people has choose "make money online" as their primary income.
