I feel that making money online is the most difficult job that i ever tried out.It is the most difficult part time job that requires a lot of time put pays very little for your large time spent on it.Daily labor get few dollars more than what some people earn from blogs and those very low paying surveys and PTC.Share your view on the making money techniques and your experience.

To make online earningss really work is to have a good referral base. Direct that is. It's really insignificant if you do it by your lonesome. I know people who over the years have hundred of refs making the money for them in different sites. Online income is a hit or miss thing. It's eithier you succeed or not. But it is totally much easier then daily labor...hope this helps a bit. Goodluck!!!

[b]hi vsrihar36! you are definitely right about stating that it is very difficult to earn big through blogs online especially when the currencies they pay me is converted to my countries currency can't really support me for the whole week. hahaha!!! i don't really have any money making techniques because i myself is trying to find things out on how to make online with the use of my blog site.. it is kinda hard because you have to do a lot of things like find a good trafficking thingy for your blog. i am even a bit confused with this still. teehee.. well, to top it all, patience is what we must have in our self as well as diligence because without this characteristics, we won't be able to fulfill our goals in money making online. happy posting and happy mylotting![/b]

Well, we all would Love to make what you can make working somewhere for someone else, and do it easily, but as many will tell you it is not easy. Even people that are doing online Businesses with $$ invested, it did not happen over night, and what works for one will not always work for everyone else as well. I look at it this way... No, I am not getting rich, but the extra $50 or so I am earning most months online sure does not hurt as well.

No, it's not tougher but if you look at the going rate per hour, it is a lot of time invested for little returns I happen to do it just in my spare time and it's a hobby now which started as an experiment. If you look at my blog, I document the little journey in the lat few months and how much I've been paid. You can make some extra money but it cannot be a fulltime thing

It is certainly tough for newbies when they hardly get a few cents for working several hours. With time, you will get more ideas and knowledge and you can make lots of money.

If what you are doing online is not earning you enough money for your effort, then look for something else. There are ways to be paid well for your work... You need to keep looking until you find your niche.

Absolutely. If I was able to work I could earn heaps more than I get online but since I cannot work due to illness it is not relevant to me. I started trying to earn money online to bring in a little extra to help the budget and I also missed the income I used to earn when I was able to work. I have not found any online income that is even a close match to what I could earn in the workforce. I also wonder if that online income will still be there as the economy suffers.

I think earning money online is also like a business but it is much harder to develop a good earning system while on the internet. I think the internet money making is still on its developing stages and people are not yet optimistic on making money with it. And I think they have all the right to be pessimistic all because of all the scammers and faker who will only waste your time doing things on the internet. But I think eventually it will be a major factor on people's career and many will later realize that internet can also give you legit ways on earning money and having a career out of it. Daily labour is a less risky but less nourishing money making, if you're not into creating and innovating and earning bigger money, then daily labour is better for you. But if you're ambitious like me, then try to do business and earning online. Slowly you could find a way to earn better money to support your living as same as daily labor could give you

I think that it can be easy or difficult depending on how you plan to earn that money online. I agree with what you said in that you get a lot less per hour from MyLot (without referrals), with the pay adding up to way less than minimum wage in the U.S. so in that sense I would say that it's hard. A lot of work has to be put into your comments and in making discussion topics so that you can earn. When it comes to making money on MyLot, my advice would be to post quality responses and topics which show that you've put thought and effort into writing them and also to get many referrals that are reliable and will be active. I actually don't have any lol. I might refer my boyfriend but I doubt that he would want to participate. When it comes to blogs and websites, it does take work to get a successful website but I think that it becomes easier once that blogger or owner of the site starts to get many visitors and the site becomes more popular. After establishing the site it still does require work in posting new and interesting content but I think that it might be a little easier since you have visitors. It's kind of difficult thinking up a topic for a blog that would be interesting since there are already many blogs out there about so many different topics. I'm just taking a chance and hoping that people would be interested in some of the blogs that I've started lol.

yes i agree with you, it is harder to earn money online than work because in my case, i am spending a lot for cafe rent everyday just to earn a few cents, i will be going to find a job soon. i thought that i could earn more here, well i guess if i have my own connection i could have a work from home job since some site really requires a private connection like hits4pay, it denied my application because i used a public cafe. i am so sad about it.
