Daily Goals For Earning

Is there anyone else like me that likes to set a goal of what they earn per day? For me, I am happy if I am able to earn two dollars between all of the sites that I use. It is a fairly modest goal, but in the long run it makes me happy and over the course of a couple of months I am able to pick up some slack in our house hold. How about you, do you have a daily goal? What is your daily goal? How many different sites do you use?

I don't really have a daily goal. Mostly because my earning sites are the residual type.. They are really based on someone else's spending habits.. with the exception of Mylot (not making $2 here..lol) and youdata -whe pays a few cents a week. :) My other earning source is Pinecone research and I might get $3 a week (that's stretching it) I might try one of those GPT sites.. and see if I can make a little bit more a month. I was lucky the last two months as my zazzle sales were pretty good for Christmas. I should be getting $60 next month and just rec'd $26 the other day.. But that is atypical for the month.. I generally reach the $25 cash out everey 2-3 months. Next month will be good too because I have made my mylot limit for cash out.. So looking forward to my Feb payments. Just in time for my Birthday :-).

Couple things... 1st if you want to try for Pinecone again.. I started a discussion the other day.. Regarding it. there is a link to a site taht you can find the banner on to try to sign up again.. I'd try it again they are worth it. Second.. I don't know how creative you are.. or if you like to take photos or anything. But at Zazzle (one of my residual places) you do not need to get referrals. It's actually quite fun making stuff.. then you post them for sale. You earn commission when they do. I actually made $360 this year.. it started off slow the first year and I would have never thought I'd make that much.. but now I am hoping the earnings keep to the same pattern (which nearly doubled from last year).. you don't need photos either.. my best seller is a t-shirt I made just using a common saying and using one of their many fonts and picking the color(s)- Like I said it could be fun.. you can make greeting cards, bumper stickers etc too.. I put a Facebook friend onto the site and she sold 2 keychains she made of her cute puppy the very next week. :-) I'm Just Sayin'... Minx

I've never used any of the sites that are residual on someone else's spending habits but I also don't think that would work for me as I really stink at getting people to sign up under me. I tried to apply for pinecone, but I've never heard back from them. I do, however, really like using quickrewards because I do fairly decent with them.

Okay, I'm going to check out Zazzle because I am an aspiring photographer and also an aspiring graphic designer. It can't hurt to give it a try I don't think. Thank you for sharing with me.

I like to set monthly goals. I keep spreadsheets for each month and then a yearly one. I like to earn a min of 150 per month but I aim for 250 dollars. It is not easy to do somteimes. I have to spend lots of time writing articles.

Start with the ones that you know something about. This makes writing easier. If it is something you are interested in it is also easier. Remember to double check your spelling and grammar before submitting.

So, when you are writing about things that you know, I know that you do better, but some of the things that I know something about are off the wall. For example, I could write all day about digital scrapbooking because it is something that I've done to pass the time for the last three years, but I don't know if there is anyone that would be interested in reading about it. Do you think I should just give it a shot anyway?

I am planning on starting to write articles in the near future. I had wanted to start this past week but I haven't been able to learn enough about it and also I had a really bad week with the things going on in my life. That is the next thing that I want to do though.

I don't have a daily goal, but it's a good idea if you have the time. I just come on here when I have some time, and so my myLot usage varies from day to day. It would be great to be able to earn a dollar or two each day, and you're right, it does add up, so that money can be put toward something useful. I used to spend more time on here and my goal used to be to make payout each month, but now I'm just happy to contribute to the discussions I find interesting, whenever I can. And I reach payout sooner or later! Happy myLotting!
@liquorice (3887)

Yes, I agree, I also find that I'm never short of interesting discussions to join! This is a great place to be.

For mylot, my goal is to reach payout every month. The reason that I feel comfortable in making that goal is that I really enjoy the time that I spend here and I am seldom at a loss of what discussions that interest me. If I didn't see things that interested me on a regular basis, I don't think that I would be able to maintain that goal.

I still haven't really figured out how the earnings work but I do set a goal each day, based on my "rank" I set a goal of what I want my rank to be at the end of the day. Like right now I'm at 2074 so my goal for the day is 2080. It's not a big goal but it's something I think I can attain with relative ease. I reached payout in December so now I'm trying to get to payout in January also. *crosses fingers*

I have a lot of little things I'm saving up for this year so every little bit I can get from sites like MyLot will help.

I know exactly what you mean. When I reached payout in December, I knew that I wanted to do it again for January and now I am trying to reach the payout for February. Each time that I make it, I want to make just one penny more than I did in the prior month.

I don't have a daily goal. I am always pleased to get a few surveys ,somedays better than others.Toluna seems to be very good at moment earning a nice amount of points on the sponsored polls at the moment.Why don't you give it a try you earn vouchers on that one,helps pay for bits around the house.One poll is another good one ,you only earn a little bit but mine has built up to around £18 and it pays out at forty.So I am getting there plus this off course.

I only give the names of sites that pay "your say pays is also another paying site good luck my friend.

Those both sound like great suggestions and I will definitely be checking them out in the near future. Right now, I am just trying to get a handle on the sites that I am already using, but I don't think it will be a very long time before I am ready to take on another new site to work with.

One dollar is a great goal to start with. I'm fairly new to earning myself, so I don't have a lot of suggestions for you. However, you might want to check into MTurk as it has been very good for me so far.

At the moment my goal is to earn about $4 a day. I am going to use the money for earning more in some programs - buying referrals and upgrading and so on. It took me a long time to find these programs and they are owned by one honest person who has paid me for over a year now. When I get the chance to buy referrals in this month and next, my earnings will increase and I can upgrade more. In the end I hope to get a debit card to be able to cash out in an ATM on the place I live. Just have to be patient and continue, now that I know how to do it. You can read more about this on the website in my profile.

If you need more info, just send me a message here in myLot. I like to help others and this system is a bit different from others. It is a long term income but rather easy to learn and you can earn even without referrals in the surf program..

It is good habit to set a goal. For me, I am used to being a paid employee, and so I do not set daily goals. It is only when there are bad news that I start to wonder if my seat is secured.

I can understand why you sometimes wonder if your job is secure. My mother lost her job in July with absolutely no warning at all. She, however, has been blessed with a temporary job that has lasted far longer than the two weeks that she was promised in the beginning.

My daily goal is to earn as much as I can from the sites I have. I try to do everything on each site to earn what I can for that day. I am always looking for new dependable sites to earn money from. I can help my income about every other month. I would like to improve this to every month. Have a great day.

I too would really like to be able to get the amount of income up that I am making online to be able to pull out from my paypal on a monthly basis. This first time that I was able to reach my goal to transfer into paypal took me several months, but now I am making more than when I started and I'm hoping that it won't take as long to reach my goal again.

It is great that you are able to have residual earnings as well as what you are able to do on a daily basis. I'm hoping to be able to start writing soon and then I will be able to have some residual income as well.

I tried trekpay, but it wasn't really doing anything for me, so I've put it on the back burner for now. However, I do spend a lot of time on here because I really enjoy everything that I am able to get out of it.

HI! I use about 10 sites, from which I earn money online. I don't know how much I earn per day, but it is not much. 2$ dollars are very good earn to me, but I have a lot to search till I earn 2$ per day! Can you give me some good site, which allows international members?

I think I am writing this for the 10th time but if you want to earn $2 a day, you can try slicethepie. You can earn even $5 a day if you are willing to spend some more time there. Please use the search if you want to know more, becaue I really don't feel like writing about it again :) Have a nice Day

The majority of what I like to do is on mturk. This is doing simple tasks that don't require a lot but I am pretty sure that they are open to international members as well. It would be worth checking out.

This was the first site that I joined as well, and for me it is also the most dependable. However, I also really like mturk as well because I like the tasks that you are able to do there.

I wish I can earn money every day. But, I don't have a daily goal, because I use a monthly goal. I only use 2 websites. So, it's very slow to get money from that sites. I still think to make a lot of website for earn money.
@dorannmwin (36392)

I will go ahead and tell you that the more time that you spend on mylot, the more money you are going to be able to make on here. It is somewhat difficult to make payout on a monthly basis, but if you are determined, it is something that is completely possible to do. Good luck on your endeavors.

I don't use very many sites, and i don't really have daily goals. because I work full time, I really do the online work sporadically - in months where I am concerned about our finances, I will try to do some freelance writing and make about 10 -20 dollars a day, but the rest of the time I usually just do about 25 cents per day. It would be better if i were more consistent, but I have a lot of different things on my plate.

I know that if my situation was different, then I wouldn't be able to set the kind of goal that I have for each day. However, I don't work outside the house and thus have nothing but time to work on the computer.

Hi there, I can't say that I set daily earnings goals as of yet. I do, however, set daily or weekly goals of staying consistant with the different sites that I work with. Daily goals are difficult to achieve right now because my earnings are so low with what I do. I am setting up a new avenue that may give me a better opportunity to make daily or weekly earnings goals.

Staying consistent with your different sites is a great way of setting your personal goals. With time, you will probably be doing better than you ever expected to be doing.

I'm trying to make 34 cents a day at Mylot so I can receive payout at the end of the month. But right now, I'm only on Mylot. I have to try to get a real job, so I can only spend so much time online here. The rest of the time, I must look for a regular paying job. But in-between jobs, I might as well come here since looking for a job doesn't make me any $ until I find one. But I do substitute teach sometimes. Obviously, not today. Take care

For the people that need a regular job, I can completely understand why you don't have the time to work on a daily basis online. However, for me as a stay at home mother, this is a very good thing for me and it helps me keep my sanity as well. Good luck to you with finding a regular paying job.

Anymore I am just happy to get to do most of the sites I use. I think that 2 dollars a day is reasonable. I am sure that I don't make that much. What I do make always seems to come in handy when we are running short of cash. I was pretty tickled with myself over Christmas as most of it was paid for from online activities. Do you reach that goal everyday? Over the years my goals have come down conciderably, I don't think that has much to do with me as it does with changes in point systems.

Hey, a couple of dollars a day - not too shabby! What other earning sites are you going to? This site is the only place I go to as far as earnings go . . . I don't have a lot of extra time, so this is it! I guess I don't do daily goals as I squeeze in computer time here and there throughout the day . . . as long as I'm getting closer to the payout minimum, I'm happy. I can always get to the payout minimum (except for November when the baby was born), so my fun challenge is to get OVER that amount as much as possible. It's not a whole lot, but it's neat to watch my paypal account earning some dough!

The other two sites that I tend to use are quickrewards and mturk. I've been paid by both of them. Multiple times with quickrewards (I request a payout every week that my balance is above one dollar) and once with mturk (didn't request into my checking account because I wanted to use the money that I had earned for my Christmas shopping on Amazon).

I do have everyday goals but not related to money exactly cause i feel goals bind you to a certain things and it creates a lot of problems too.One has to force themselves to reach a goal which in turns effect other works also so altogether one is not gaining anything.Everyday goals are very good if one is only doing such things but if one does it part time then he should more look forward to enjoy and learn something out of it instead of dieing to complete the goal and leaving everything on side for the goals. And you might have noticed all things we very desperately wish for in most cases we don't get them and things we are not even expecting come to us very easy so i say just be happy with what you are getting and enjoy it and work on with it and talking long term you will be more successful than any other.
