Ever since I discovered that money could be made from Internet, like myLOT, it gives me an idea of how those less fortunate, like those with physical disabilities, who have difficulties in finding jobs, could use the Internet to earn a living. I believe that if they are literate, they can earn a decent living from Internet. Anybody knows of any less fortunate ones whom we can help by spreading the words about myLOT to?

Just one little tip of advice, speaking as someone who is disabled and making a living online. :D We don't really like being thought of as less fortunate. We get by alright, and we're a pretty proud group of people. Your sentiments are definitely appreciated, though! there are quite a few of us here already. :D

sorry for having to use the words 'less fortunate'. I am trying to find the best words to refer to the group who have problem finding jobs because of their physical limitations. Actually, in my country, we refer to this group as 'The Abled-people' instead of 'disabled people'. so maybe I should refer them as that too, if you guys know who I am referring to. By the way, thanks for filling me in about the fact that there are already a group sharing the same sentiment. I am quite new in myLOT so still trying to find what are the available discussions. Thanks again and hope to share more ideas with you in future.

No worries! I know you were just trying to get your point across. And that *is* easier than saying 'people who have trouble working because of a disability'. :D Yeah, Mylot is great for folks like us because we can earn a little extra without having to leave our bed/chair.
Take care!
