In today's economy many of us are finding new ways to make ends meet. Working online is one way with multiple streams of income. How many multiple streams of income do you have going both on and offline? I have 7 writing sites that I write for regularly and 9 blogs that I update on a semi regular basis. I also do mystery shopping for 3 companies regularly and a few others I occasionally shop for. Plus I am on several GPT/PTC sites I occasionally work from.

It is encouraging to know your different ways of earning through internet. I have just one income from my regular job which I like. The job is not very bad in terms of pay and all but still I do like to see for any other ays of earning too. Working online is definitely another option.

Yes, it is encouraging to know there are so many different ways of earning money online. I started working online because I am home with various family health issues that keep me from being able to hold down a job due to sudden dr or hospital visits. This affords me to keep paying bills and be home where my family needs me. Thank you so much for sharing.

I have not actually counted the number of sites that pay me, but it amount to quite a few. [1] I get monthly upfront payments and residual earnings from writing sites [2] I earn monthly revenue from 3 blogs. [3] I get paid commission for selling affiliate products. I also get paid for posting, commenting, searching and other activities at various sites. Actually everything I do online helps me to earn money. Even networking in non-paying forums and social sites helps to take traffic to my signature link or profile link, and can add something to my online income.

I hadn't really thought about it like you said, Everything done online helps income to grow. I do have signature links and a profile link etc etc so that is also helping me. Hadn't thought it out so clearly. Thanks for the great insight.

Hi, I have several blogs and websites, but within them I have/use different ways to earn from them depending on the topic of the site etc. If you're planning on earning online you do want to have several methods (affiliates/programs etc) as who knows how long something will last nowadays - best not to put all your eggs in one basket.

yes, I learned early on not to put all of my eggs in one basket! Now I have definitely diversified and it is much more profitable! Thank you for sharing! I appreciate learning how others earn online (and offline).

If you are looking for more online income add me as a friend and then take a look at my website. It lays out many options available for working from home online. It does take time to work up a residual income. Hang in there!

Hi, wow... that's is amazing about your work online. I have only two online and other offline. I work as a manager at a small coffee shop, do wholesale international phone cards to several stores. I think that's about it. I wish I can do like you. I barely get online and do my work cuz my little children... they always need me this and that all the time. If you dont mind, please introduce me one of your writing site and mystery shopping. Thank you very much

Hi Smileonstar, If you add me as a friend you can go to my profile page and then to my website. On my website I have more information on my writing sites and on mystery shopping as well as links that will take you to the sites. It does take a lot of work but staying home with my family is worth it in every way. Best wishes to you and let me know if there is anything else I can help you with! :)

Let's see, I write for five sites regularly, plus have 10 blogs, and two cafepress stores. I also enter writing contest and send things in for publication in the hopes they will win or be purchased.
