The only problem with making money online is that the money I make is not worth the time I put into making it. I've not been able to find any way of making more than a couple of bucks a day doing a lot of random typing and clicking (much like this). Somebody PLEASE prove me wrong!

You are right on that. I do work online and work writing in which I get paid anywhere from 4.00 to 200 dollars a piece, but that is totally different from the penny anti stuff that most people are doing now. Writing is a skill and is your not just hired just like that, my articles that sell for 200.00 does not bring in steady income, once in a while somebody buys them.

It is not a good find it is hard work in the industry as a writer, if you are a writer you learn where to look, you spend many years learning the ropes, you read all the journals on how to write, you subscribe to writing magazines, writing newsletters, you read what they have to say, you read the sections where they have that says submissions wanted, you pick and choose the ones that you think you can write for, and you search the internet for for sites.
It is a full time job just looking for places, and then you get many many many rejections, until finally you find a place that will take your work.

ebay works great if you have some time and patience and a good eye for crap that will sell for more than it's really worth. but thanks for responding. perhaps I could try serving coffee -- well I'm in my mid 20's and have a full time job so I think I'll stick to that.

Sorry, but can't prove your wrong when your right. lol I have multiple windows open each with a different website I'm signed up with so I'm constantly doing something here to earn money other than just going thru email or mylot.

I am the same, but I think that you have to just keep looking at what others on here do, a lot have links on their profiles of places where they have been paid out from. You do have to put a lot of time in to get anything back, I do not think people realise that you cannot just spend a couple of hours on the computer. I have slowly been joining things and working on them a bit to see if they work out and I think that with a lot of time and a lot of effort I could make the money that I want to make.

stick to your day-job and just do your online work whenever you have time.
when i started doing these on-line jobs, i've always known that it will never replace my work. now, i've read about those probloggers who have made a living out of blogging. i'm happy that it worked for them. i'm still studying if it is possible for me to do such. i doubt it though. so what i just do is to continue with my job and do this online work to augment my income.
