I find trying to make money online is very frustrating. Firstly, you put lots of effort into trying to earn money yet you end up earning very little. If you want to actually earn a worthwhile amount then it takes so much time that you can't have a life away from the computer! It is also annoying to read about all these people who are earning loads by doing very little (however I think most of that is probably lies). What is your opinions? Does making money online frustrate you?

I remember before I started to make money online I would go to forums and people would be claiming they had been paid and I would be thinking yea right sure. I didn't think it was possible to earn that much and never have to pay anything. But now that I've been making money online for several years I know it is possible. I've been a member of some sites for years and have a large number of referrals which put a boost in my earnings. I have a blog on my profile page where I put my proof of pay so others can see that im not lying about my earnings. I know it can be frustrating and tiring. I know sometimes I spend hours just trying to reach payout at times.

I agree making money online is very frustrating. There's alot of scams to watch out for and alot of companys want you to pay first. I found that filling out surveys is very time consuming and boring. All the popele who say they are making thousands our more than likely lieing and I think it's all part of scam. Sites like this our the best way.

The first few months for me is very frustrating. I make money online through writing articles. It's hard to get enough to reach the $1.50 minimum payout for International writers in Associated Content. After I learn about the right techniques of writing, the money is better. Now I can make at least $10 passive income (that means even without writing, I can make $10 a month). Helium is the only site to pay upfront for non-exclusive rights to the articles, and pay foreigners. I make a few hundred dollars so far. Hope to make a total of a thousand dollars this year from Helium. It's very painful in the beginning too. Hardly can make the minimum payout of $25.

Hello Craig, I totally agree with you. It could be very, very frustrating spending so much time online typing your fingers to the bone and make a penny, so to speak. I started a few sites so now I have pennies everywhere...LOL...Well, I still pray a real job comes along for me SOON!!! I've been out of work for over a year :( Take care my friend and happy MyLotting! Olivia~

I think it depends on what your expectation are with regards to online earning. I earn very little online. I think I earn here in mylot the most already. But I do not get frustrate because I know for a fact that it is hard to look for online opportunities that are legit and that online or offline, there is no such thing as a get-rich-quick scheme. We always have to work hard for our earnings

I don't think it is frustrating because I don't expect much money from online. I am not doing this as a job, but for relaxation and fun. I work only online only with mylot and I am happy with what I am getting. I am able to earn the money for one meal a day from mylot. I live in Inida and one dollar is almsot fifty Indian rupees. I consider what I get from mylot as a perk. I use that money to get gifts for my friends and family for their anniversaries and birthdays. I also have two referrals who are kind of active.

Hi Craig747, Yeah... making money online did frustrate me at the beginning but not anymore. I've been earning passive income from affiliate marketing these 3 years and its really no joke. It is possible to earn passive income with affiliate marketing but it do take sometime and you've got to be patient. I've been promoting this e-book, 'Auto Swift Cash Generator', the hottest item of Mystere Definition, and it pays an attractive commission of 75% per sale refer, which is US$20.50. Think the amount of time you put in posting here on Mylot or writing reviews in Ciao... how long would it take you to earn this amount? Mystere Definition not only pay high commission but also it credit payment to your account once you close a sale! So do consider giving it a try and PM me if you're interested. I'll guide you along and give you the URL. Cheers!

Yes, it is fustrating trying to earn money online because they pay you little amount after spending so much time. I spend at least 5 to 6 hours logging on the internet trying to earn some money but it's not suffcient.And all by other works are neglected too.

You said it. Fraustrating is not the word and I have almost given up. At first I used to get so very excited when I read about those super rich guys who were poor as church mouse (whatever that means) earning hundreds of thousands of dollars with their awesome schemes. Having read all the reviews on them I used to wonder how a stay at home mom who did not know a thing about the internet could earn 1000 dollars a day while I couldnt even earn a cent. Well I still don't know why. Maybe the only way to earn is by creating a program that looks genuine and write a great, no, make it 'awesome' sales page and earn money from that and never mind whether the scheme works or not.

I also agree. You make so little and it takes a lot of effort. The best way to make anything is to do as many programs as possible so all those little amounts add up.

I don't find it frustrating, maybe a little bit at the start. But then you learn from your mistakes and you investigate more before doing anything. If you put lots of effort on it and you are not earning enough, then you arn't doing it very well. If you think that people is able to live from online earnings, you are wrong. I don't think that many people could do that, it will be extremly hard and probably unreacheable for most of us, so better go out and find a real job! Good luck, have a nice day!

I think I have found the perfect site to earn money from. I think it's fun and if I get tired of doing the same old thing I just sign out and read the comics. I think it's easy all the info you need is in the forum and if you still need assistance you can go into chat and speak with someone, one on one.

I totally agree with you. There are so many methods out their to learning how to make money then everyone have so many strategies on how to make money on one particular site and all the site has so many rules or large amount of amounts you have to reach before paying out, but you earn so little to earn it and you really have to work really hard to get the payout. I'm not one who thinks that money is easy to earn just because it's online. I know it takes effort to make money online, because it's not the average way of earning money plus, it's not difficult; it's just seating on the computer and figuring out how to mange all the money make ideas so you can do as many as you can without spending your whole day on the computer.The only way I've made money is by playing the game second life NS I've earn about 200 dollars.

My answer is no. I am not frustrated because I am really earning and I have payment proof. I only choose those site that are legits that is why I have no regrets joining them and working for them. I can share this to everyone who can add me as a friend.

Yes it is soooo frustrating because you get alot of scams. It's kinda hard to figure out which are legit or fake.
