how many of us here are trying to earn money online? is it really very easy? i seen on the internet that some people are earning 4 or 5 figures income online.do you think we are able to do it?for me i don't think so.those who are able to leverage on the power of the internet to make profits are either the early smart pioneers or those seeking to sell people products that they use to make money.what do you think?

ya i do think its easy to make money online if you know where to look. personally its not something that you can get rich on like they say on some sites, but it does give me some spending money. i dont signup for any site that ask for money and in return they just send you information about how to get started. personally i dont think that its worth the money that you pay. i like that i can do thing on my time and really dont have to worry about having set hours or anything like that. there are some things that are good and bad about making money online. the one thing that i hate is signing up for some thing just to find out that its a scam. some times it hard to know whats a scam and whats not. there are sites that pay you just to take surveys and others pay you to different things. it all depends on what you want to do to make that money. i have to say that mylot is the best site that i've signed up to make money. its fun and very easy.

thanks for responding!we have the same thoughts too. who in the world would pay money for information to earn money which is also not guaranteed? granted there are sites out there which are really legit and paying and it depends on whether you know how to find them.cheers!

I don't think earning online is easy nor could it be the main source of income for anyone. However, I do believe that every single penny helps so I do online things that would help me earn money. If there is an online earning opportunity that says that they cold give you big amount of money, I would definitely doubt it. Some of them might just be a scam or something. So be careful. There really are some that are able to keep what they promise but these are the limited few.

yup i agree with you.why would anyone pay money just to earn?it is like paying 1st for your job before you get to do the work.would you like to do this job if it needs you to pay upfront 1st?

i figure that if i'm online anyway just messing around.. i might as well get some bank for it... even if it's just a little bit... add 10 bucks to your paypal every now and them and you'll be able to buy a little something sometimes... this really helps when you need a last minute bday gift... or something you forgot to buy... or just having a few xtra dollars to spend on something you want... : )

I agree with you all its not an easy task you got to spend more time to achieve it, as we all say patience is a virtue. So just have patience and you'll get what you want in no time.

I think it would be pretty tough to make that much money online. I have never had any luck with making big amounts of money, but I do think it's pretty easy to earn smaller amounts. I don't mind making the smaller amounts of money though, since it adds up over time. I guess maybe if you were able to run your own business online or something, then maybe you could make lots of money. I would imagine it's pretty rare, though.

I think earning online is not that easy. It takes time and of course a lot of knowledge on the different ways to earn online. But once you start and get to know more things it will be easier.

I am very skeptical that you can earn big money online without having a degree in some sort of computers... that is for sure, but you can make little amounts here and there, is what I am learning, I havent made anything yet, but I have sites that are getting amounts in earnings, just not close to payout yet.

Yeah sure.. it is very easy if you already know the way, but it will really hard if we just following the other people work, we need to think and design our own method.. Well, easy to say but hard to do.. hahaha..

Oh heck no. It takes more time. It takes more patience. And a certain amount of cunning to avoid scams. I have yet to find anything to yeild the numbers your are speaking of. It would be nice though.

I think it depends! There are those who are well-versed on how to earn that much via online and have been devoting their full time so it is easy for them to earn more. But for me who only use my spare time, I don't think I could ever earn that much. My online activities do not give me that much earning but I am satisfied anyway as I am earning while enjoying.

I think by working online its very very difficult to earna 4 figure income. I think most people can only eanr around $200 a month. This amount is also rare. I mean most people are trying to earn but they are unable to earn that much. I think if you are selling something online that can make you earn alot. But you have to be really good at marketing and have the ability to grab customers. Anyone cannot do it.

In my own experience earning online is not an easy task to do. Especially when you are only affliated in sites that are free to join at. This is because they offer a small amount of payment for our activities there.The highest amount I ever got from a online earning site was from CIAO.This is around 25$ in a span of a month.This was way back when reviews were paid at 25cents each.Now I just reached 10$ from CIAO for my January earnings,which took a lot of time for me. ON the other hand,other online money makers who earn 4-5 digits amount of dollars by online programs may be premium members. These types of activities are too risky for me so I do not engage myself in those sites.NOnetheless, I am happy with my hard earned dollars in my online activties.It may be a smaller amount compared to others,but still,Its money.

I personally, am new to this site. This is day 1 for me. I am hoping that I will get the hang of things here, and that I will be able to earn some cash, as all of you hope to. That being said, I have earned money working from home. Nice money too. This is just something that I am trying to see if I can earn some money until I find a better job, or maybe when the day comes I can add this to my new job. I've worked from home now since July of 2005. I've done call center work working as a Customer Service Agent for companies like Sears, Office Depot, HSN, Toys & Babies R Us, even took calls for the American Red Cross when Katrina hit. This past fall I landed a gig with Public Opinion Research and did phone surveys during the election. It was very interesting. It's alot of work to find jobs like those, and your computer has to meet several specifications. The jobs are available, but the competiton is stiff. You really have to do your homework. I used to make good money. Presently I am working for a company out of Canada, helping to raise money for charity. Again, it's phone work. Unfortunatly, because of the economy, like everything my hours have been cut, so here I am. Don't give up! You too can find something. Like any job, think of what you can offer these companies, prepare a resume, and start searching. There are all kinds of jobs out there. You just have to use different search phrases than "work from home" The scammers use that phrase to draw you in. Instead do a search using something like "home office", 1099 employee, telecommute, or "quiet home office". Then your results will change. Now, is there anyone out there that can give me a little advice on how to effectively use this site? I could really use it while I am waiting to find my next gig.

Making money online is definately not easy. You need time and patience and you don´t make much. Is a risky game and for people that invest on it sometimes can be profitable sometimes can be a damage. I do things online for money but the only investiment from me is my time. I have been doing some little money. It´s good cause it´s free.

i am too trying to make a little extra cash. I've come across many sites claiming you can make '£500 in 5minutes' It is never that easy, else we would all be rich! Pennies make Pounds is all i can say!
