I am a full time online business person. I love doing what I do now. The potential is huge and I am proud to say that I am able to earn a good living from internet business. However, many people are still skeptical when I told them I do this as a full income. My neighbours didn't believe me when I told them I do online business. It made uncomfortable most of the time to discuss about this in front of them. I can see the unbelievable stare from their eyes. Sometimes I am angry but later i realised many people still do not perceive internet as a source of income. How about you? What is your opinion on this? Could you share any experience with me? Thanks in advance.

Congratulation for what you are.I totally agree with you.Some of people always skeptical about this t ype of business because the can't see what are you doing, they don't understand what online business is all about and they also don't have any knowledge and experience about this thing. Nowadays, with IT we can do a business with all of people over the world. So, we need to grab this opportunity right now, because a lot of people already successful with online earning.

Thanks for your support, buddy. I need it! Yeah, I agree with you that people are skeptical because they don't know anything about it in the first place. I am doing em-pay right now. It's good business, provided if you have the skill. The program itself is wonderful. It only gives benefit. Have a nice day.

The reason for this is that there are many sites on the net which claim that they pay u for doing their job online but does not pay up. I have worked for some of this and earned around $15-$20 but none of them paid up. so many dont trust these internet sites to pay up. they think( as do I ) all of them are just a prank.

I guess, too many have been burnt trying different online opportunity after being sold to the sales pitch and not receiving any support thereafter.Some have lost their savings at scam sites and sites that took off great only to fall flat after few miles.The initial launch was enough for them to bet their pension funds and were left high and dry after the experience.Perhaps that's the reason they find it hard to believe and some are just ignorant that internet has developed as a big money churning giant provided you are ready to persevere. I know there are affiliate programs and home businesses that truly work if you are ready to devote time or have a big group ,but the latter are very few.Glad to know you are not giving up till the job is done.

Dear Ladysurvivor, I am Indonesian. Today I have read your discussions about the making money online as you are saying that it is potensially good. I am curious to know about what you are also mentioning about the malaysian mylotter. I do not mind to join since I am infact also looking for such opportunities if there are available. Would you please inform me about the chance? Trima kasih and wasalam.

That is awesome that you are able to do this online and make enough to survive. I do online work and make good money but not near enough to stop my regular job. I make very good money at work and I have paid benefits, so I don't think I could ever do it full-time and make a living. Most people dont't believe you can do it because they have tried and failed.

I am still struggling, and it is not enough for sole survival. Nevertheless, I contribute to the table and I feel this is a tremendous forward step to my achievement. I'll never give up. I know the boiling urge keeps up the boost of energy. The day of success will come.

i think it is because there are a lot of scam sites on the internet and if something looks too good to be true it certainly is. We have all heard horror stories about how people lose a lot of time working for non paying web ssites. If there was a way to get rid of the scammers then people would start to trus over time. I tghink it is bitter experience that leads to skepticism, nothing more blessed be

Yes, but we have to eye them with a lot of analysing and logic. However with the latest technology, nothing is impossible. sometimes we have to accept something even if it sound illogic in the first place. Trying something new will not make you lose anything. Even if you lose money, you'll gain in experience. thanks for your reply.

I am just as passionate as you are about online business. Not many people may understand what is boiling in our blood. I have close friends who think I am nuts and this venture don't really work. I am still determined and risilient that this is a reality. It is not a fantasy to waste time. One day, when we are all successful, that will be our testimony and our story. So, I leave lots of them alone till that day comes.

Yes, after hearing about what you say I just feel to let all that disappear under the carpet or vanish with the wind. I am what I am and I have a strong believe that one day I would be succesful in what I want to achieve. Join me in the Malaysian mylotters? There's a lot of potential there.

My cousin is a walking proof of an online business success result. I am making him as my example. However he is quite reluctant to give him his tips and therefore I have to search on my own. Currently I am into something which promise a huge potential. If you are from Malaysia you may want to check on this. Pm me if you want to know more. See you then.

I would love to run my business full time on line but it never seems to give me a regular income. I deal in football memorablila and sold on ebay alot a few years ago. I just set up a myspace account and i trade from there and let people find me instead of the other way around. I would love to do it full time but it just does not seem possible.

It seem quite impossible if we do it alone. With with a combination of masterminds, this thing would not be impossible. Just be creative and build a network. Have a nice day.

It is great to know that you are doing well with your online business. As i am looking for such thing which can help me with my life. Unfortunately i still did not find any good thing to do. For me it is normal for peoples to be skeptical about online business as this is very new and some of them did not believe that we actually can make money with. I am still looking for the right business to do and would like to know what you do actually.

You are right, online business is the way to go now, I also am organizing thngs to go online full time full speed in the very near future. Others specially in our country are not so much exposed yet on the power of the net, so that gives us a very good position to strengthen our online business and show them what it can bring us, later when they realized we are correct we are already ahead and we might be earning from them by helping them realize this, I would like to know what online business you are doing, if you are here in the philippines, perhaps we can meet sometime.

Although i think i am not the person who can earn much online, i am not skeptical about it, I think the potential of the earning is great without limitation. If a website does actually pay and is not a scam, basically , if you have a lot of referrals, you will be successful, but the way is how to find referrals, that may be the tips in online business. I definitely believe one can support their living by online business, but it is important to know scams are also a problem, i mean how can you know whether a website will actually pay you? I can understand how other people think on it if you do it full time, but i believe hard work will pay off finally one day, it takes sometime ,but you will see the result later. Work hard,,,good luck to your business,and prove to other people about your career...

I very much agree with all you have stated...online businesses are so under rated. Although one must really be extremely cautious for frauds and get rich quick schemes...I hope to someday more business online...cept I love to get out ...and be around PEOPLE! all of this will happen for happen for me soon...I have found some well worth business adventures on the net...this has taken me yrs...simply because I love to cook! and when I am in the kitchen....I can't be here on the net too! LOL...If I could , I would be ! perhaps in time we will be able to ... unless we have reached that point already . I am simply just getting the just of all this...and lovin every minute of it! ...the internet experiance...I learned so much here...and love to read so I am a self motivated learner by far. thans for the post...ladysurvivor peach
