Do you think online earning money is better than a daily job?

Everyday you hear something new about new PTC sites or a new website promoted that will promise you a 7 figure income a year! Even sites that offer a 6 figure income in one month. So my question is, is it really worth it to just do this online sites and quit your 9-5 job?

From my experience, i think it's unwise to quit your 9-5 job and work your online earning sites. It really needs some expertise to be able to earn a lot from online sites. Formerly, i am also a 9-5 worker and i had decided to quit due to my health problem. So, i decided to find some jobs which i can done from home through online but found it's not as easy as my offline job. Anyway, through patience and perseverance, hopefully everyone of us able to earn better income through online.

It would be very nice to earn a steady income online and if I do have a stable money making venture in the internet, I would most probably quit my job but unfortunately, my online earnings has not surpassed what I earn from my 9to5 job. I am hopeful though that I can be one of those success stories I have heard who made a lot of money from the internet. I saw a Filipino in television once who make a lot of money just from his blog, Yugatech.com. It would take a lot of hard work and time though, for me to achieve that kind of success.

nooo!! Unless you really really work at a reliable site and get lottttttssss of referrals you are not going to make any good money, not enough to pay your bills and stuff. You will make a little spending money though

Oh, yeah! hands on jobs are still better compared to online jobs unless you're in a good paying sites. I guess it depends also on your skills. Some using blogs are successful than who work at the office. Skills,talent, and capability matters to be successful online. I guess we need to be patient in online earnings to be lucky like them.

Hi. From my opinion, you should not stop your real life 9-5 work. It is important as a backup when something happened to your online income. So far, people are still doubt with the online security issue. So as a precaution we should have a real job that are surely secure our income monthly. It is a different when you are doing your main business online. It's because it's your business and you have product to sale. For surely you will get income.

I prefer my guaranteed regular income to some potential income which is probably a scam. Stability is very important to me right now.

I have noticed that only very few people have been very successful earning big online. Most of us are earning but not that good enough so as to replace our daily offline job. Well, it always depends on knowledge and effort. If ever you have got the knowledge to do so online to earn much, then its really something great. But if not, then might as well stick to the offline job where you earnings are stable and you are secure and just perhaps do online earning on the sideline.

I would say that they both have there advantages it all kind of depends on what kind of person you are I guess. I personally do both working online and I have a part time job. At my normal job I earn way more then I do from online earning but also have to deal with all the duties of my job and what not. I have to deal with angry customers sometimes or clean up gross messes in the bathroom. With online earning I have the comfort of working in my own house and I can listen to music or watch television and not be completely bored while I'm chipping away at earning online. For me online earning can take a while and it doesn't pay me as much as my normal job. I am actually taking advantage of both options so I can try and get some savings put away for the future.

I don't really think it seems worth it. I haven't come across any sites or online programs that actually allow you to earn a 6 or 7 figure income as they promise. I earn a few hundred dollars a month doing a variety of things online, but I still have my regular full-time job. I guess if I had more time to spend on some of my online sites and programs, I could make more each month than I do now. However, I don't really think I could make enough for it to make sense to quit my job. I love making extra money each month online, but I don't think I'll ever quit my day job.

I don't think online earning is an alternative to working but if you're so good at it that you're making as much money or possible more money than if you were working that would be awesome, think of all the free time to spend with your loved ones and friends! but anyway nothing is sure and even if you did have that it might one day turn to a scam or just disappear, you would have to find another source of income and wholly dedicate yourself to another site and stuff...also don't forget no work no pension when you grow old and you'll be forced to spend more time online limiting your outdoor activities and social life... I'd choose the internet, I'd like to not work and make the same amount of money even if it could give up on me sometime or things may go wrong for whatever reason, its kinda shortsighted but whatever I want to enjoy my life as much as possible and more free time + less stress = much more enjoyment

Working requires work - YES it is possible to earn lots of money... I know for fact that there are people earning A LOT OF money working online. So it's true, but everybody that has earned lots of cash online have not found it easy, it took years of work, research and endless patience -- this is no different to typical 9-5 jobs... but online has a far greater potential than 9-5 jobs can ever have.

Well I don't have a 9-5 job and I go to school, but I think earning online is much better because you are doing it at the comfort of your home and you can earn much more than a real job(in my opinion). I say this because if I spend about five or six hours on the computer, then I can earn more than one hundred dollars. However, it requires time which I do not have.. I am busy so I don't make that much, but I still make a good amount for the amount of time I spend on the computer. I hope this answers your question, have a great day and have loads of fun mylotting.

That's no impossible for me. Most online earning websites are not honest to pay for you. So perhaps your efforts will be in vain at the end. At least I just earn quite a little bit via the net. So of course it can not compare to my daily job. I love China

till one has a sizable cash flow which is good enough to take care of all needs for a long time, kicking the daily job is a bad idea. not all can have that kind of thing working in their favor. it does not happen for every one of us here.

maybe, after some good years for online work . To have such an income, you should have a lot of experience and work hard every day on the internet . It`s not easy to earn some $ on the internet . We shouldn`t quit our jobs until we will manage to earn at least $2000 / month for at least a full year . Then we will think again if we`ll still go to work to meet our mad boss .

No a daily job is much better i think. Earning online is just a thing i do in my spare time and to be productive seeing as im on my computer most of the time anyway :) These sites that other 7 figure amounts. Im not sure whether they are scams or whether you have to be one of the top dogs in the website and work really hard. Chances are they are a sam because they usually ask for a payment from you first. I would say that a daily job is probably easier because of the amount of effort you have to put in to earn online :)

Haha, I prefer getting a real job with real income, because you get to meet new people outside and around. Staying at home cooped up in front of your computer, no matter how fun, is no fun compared to socialising and gossiping about your boss and perhaps even dating a colleague. :P So no, it's not worth quitting your daily job just for this, unless its something that you can earn for only a few minutes a day and socialise for the rest. :P

Maybe you guys discovered it isn't a myth to earn a lot of money from internet, but to me I hadn't experience on it. If there is a chance, I prefer to do the online work, therefore, I would keep wake up early and hunt my bus with all my strength away from my daily life, have flexible time to manage my life.
