I have also been looking to make some money online like alot of you guys but everytime i feel i'm onto something good i google it and then i get the low down on how it is just a scam.
I read a report that some dude compiled and he says 97% of these sites are scams.
There must be 1 or 2 legitamate sites out there to make some good money? any ideads??

I've had my share of scams believe me. Some that look honest and legit were just as much scams as ones that gave too good to be true offers. I have found some goods though. They may not pay a lot of mine but they do pay. If you are interested you can check out my site at http://emeraldislesweb.info All of them listed on there do pay out.

Hi Talisman,
I am a complete noob when it comes to online money making, and to be truthful the only reason i have started looking is that i am about to be made redundant from my workplace so i need a safety net so to speak.
Having never dabbled in online money making would you say it is a profitable way to make a living?.

It can be, definately! It really just depends on what you choose to do and the time you decide to put into it. For example, if you only want to do a few surveys a day, you'll make some gas money and that's it. If you want to have a home business, you can make a full time income at it if you put the effort towards making that amount. I do both of those, by the way, lol! The surveys I find to be fun. My home business pays me month after month and I know I can earn even more if I focus more on it than I do right now. Does that make sense?

You are partly right. It is not only 97% but it is 99%.One should be very alert in such cases of online internet earning otherwise you may not get even one % of your hard work.Good luck.

I agree with you it is really hard now to see a legitimate online paying site such as Mylot most of the site I tried use to be a scam. I hope those scam site should the authority who regulates scam cancel their site.

Of course those site which pay you USD$100 for reading a email is scam. Never join those site, as it is just a waste of time.
I suggest you to go to some popular forum to look for the information, to find out which site is nice and honest.

Well you could make a heap of money here if you take a little time and get enough referrals. I certainly have made more since upping the amount of referrals I have, and posting with really good quality answers (and don't annoy people by simply cutting n pasting answers in, if I see that I give them a minus rating).
But welcome to mylot, and try to enjoy your time here also.

I have been recieving emails from the UK saying that I won the lottery!! I once responded to one to see what they would have to say about me getting my winnings and that started a backlash of more emails coming into my spam folder!!! I wish I could help out with this one, but all I come across is scams in all forms. Good Luck, Bronkim...

As long as a website wants you to pay money in order for you to get paid, it's highly likely that it's a scam.
I think mylot should be quite safe. =) I'm just testing around here to see if it really pays. If it does, then I'll start referring my friends. =D
