Do you use the internet only for extra money or is that what you do full time?

I am curious to know how many people only use the internet to earn extra money and how many people do things on the internet daily as their main source of income? I have been looking for YEARS on ways to make money at home and haven't found anything right for me. I have a full time job and use the internet for extra money. Most of the sites I'm a member of don't bring in very much at all, I mostly do them for fun. How about you? It would be nice to find a way to work from home, but I don't want to have to pay any crazy fees and get wrapped up in anymore scams in the meantime. Any suggestions? What do you do?

I have to agree with the finance for life guy, affiliate marketing is by FAR the best way to Make money on the internet.If your serious about making it your full time job,affiliate marketing.I also wanted to learn more about it, but I was getting bits and peices from diff people and it wasnt making sense.I eventually joined my-data-team and I have NEVER looked back.Yes I had to pay a joining fee because Im new on the net, copying and pasting was new for me -jokes and I had no-one to help me.They were GREAT help, they taught me affiliate marketing,globle data entry, Free sites to create Traffic, they also sent me to this site.They are great ,and Iv just been paid for the FIRST time by them.And Im just so so HAPPY!! internet is my part time job,as I have anouther part time job. Soon Il quit that and HAPPLIY and FINALLY work at home !!!

For me, earning money onine is just extra money. It's pocket money or money that I can toss into a savings account and let it build up extra money when I'm not using it. I do work full time but I figure that everyone could use a little extra money especially since I have student loans coming up. I'm saving a lot of the money I've made online so it will build up more money, but I'm also using some of the money for things that I need or for things that I want.

Hey, I think that many people do it just for extra money, I would really hate to see people relying totally on the Internet for their source of income, unless it is a good and stable one. But I use it just for a few dollars a month. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

I am on disability so I don't get much income. I have been taking surveys and such to earn a little extra money. I am new to the internet, so I am just getting started and haven't gotten paid by anyone yet. A friend of mine has started her own website and she'll get referral fees when it gets started. I don't know much about the internet yet, I couldn't do anything like that.

Keep doing what you have been doing on the net Cerebellum and you will eventually learn a lot. Researching and joining sites like Mylot are great ways to start. Never under estimate yourself!

Hi, CJ! I have resigned from my previous jobs a few months ago and I am concentrating on making money online as my full time job for the time being. I used to get quite an amount of money from doing the paid/sponsored posts and product/site reviews in my blog. Right now I am going to focus more on myLot and also writing stories online. It's quite slow at the beginning, but I am getting used to my time and set a target on each program. I will let you know if it's working.

many people believe that internet business could be a part-time job to do. And they often have a regular job on different vocation, the goal of them is just to get some extra money for spend. hum, this is the point. If we treat online job as serious as you can, perhaps you could put all your energy into it just like other traditonal work. And as we konw, new legend emerged every year in internet realm, such as youtube, twitter, a brandi idea may bring you a lot of treasure. Wish erverone here luck to get it.

Yes, I am on the net most waking hours. I track my stocks on the websites. Then I go to a website called TAGGED top lay a silly game of pet owning. This is more an ego game. Then it's to some news portals to pick up the latest local and foreign news. Lastly, I go onto MyLot to do mini blogging.

I think the internet is just a fun way to earn a little bit more income online. That's what I use it for. Its really hard to make the big money because you need to have a ton of referrals for your sites. The sites that promise huge sums of money are usually just scams and just waste my time.

I make of my money online, but sometimes I sell my books or get paid for public speaking. If I didn't have the internet I'd be much poorer, as is true, I think of most modern writers.

Internet is indispensible for me. That's the way I am communicating with my business colleagues and my personal friends. I work for a company which is doing trading business internationally. So, email is the way to keep in touch, and do business. I very seldom write snail mails these days. Email is the fastest and most efficient way.

you know it takes time to get established as a interent money earner. once you get established and ensure that you earn sufficient amount every month , it get's going good. i dont think earning online should be taken as full time unless you are a tech- logger or a serious blogger and you can ensure that you are absolutely safe for the whole month.

I have long since learned that there is no way to earn quick cash on the internet. However, I do put in a few minutes a day to manage my account on Neobux.
