I have seen lots of promotions telling that you can earn $500 online. Then they have this caption that it is not a get-rick-quick scheme. I am extra careful when it comes to releasing or purchasing programs online. But I do want to be successful working as a freelancer. I am industrious and able to manage my time wisely. However, for the four months I have been trying to understand the online business, I haven't earned enough to meet my target. I now opt to return to regular work even though I really love writing. I got paid for as high as $2 only for a 500 words article. I guess finding high paying publisher online for articles is not possible.

The most of the programs that claim that you can earn very big money per month are scam but few of them are true but require a big work and patience! Earning big from Internet, it's not easy at all. I think you may search for free programs/methods, do you know a forum CashLoopHoles? This is a forum where members share their methods freely (but there are some paid programs but i think these ones can be trusted). Good luck to you.

I too have fallen for many of the so called, get rich quick schemes of the web. Of course who doesn't like the thought of making hundreds, if not thousands of dollars a day for doing next to nothing. Most of these programs work by requiring you to recruit a certain number of people, and have them do the same, etc, until it builds a stream of income for you. While these programs may work great for some particulary those who created the program, it can be next to impossible to make any money for those who arrived to the money making party just a little too late. My best advice would be to stick with the freelancing, while trying to build some residual streams of income at the same time. Keep in mind that residual income can take on many forms but simply stated is to do something once that will have cash coming in for years to come. The best way to do this is with writing. Affiliate yourself with a specific product or service, and utlizing SEO, write articles, a blog or any other internet content that customers who are interested in your product of choice will search for, read your content, and possibly purchase the product using your link. While most programs offer a percentage of the sale to their affiliates, this one task can generate constant income over and over again. Just make sure you choose a product people are interested in. Some of the most popular ones that many don't even think about are affiliations with some of the worlds most popular shopping sites. I will not name any names here, but a quick search will deliver more results than you may have ever expected. Just remember that money can be made online, you just need to have the time available to put into it.

I am good in writing. However, I got tired of finding sites where I will get good pay. I started with freelancers.com. But many of the providers over very small amount for my writings. They paid just 30 dollars for 20 articles. I don't find this appealing anymore and so I stopped and returned to work. However, I do wish I can earn significant amount here online.

Yes it is possible to become rich with the right marketing of product(s) or service(s). I'm also interested in the freelance writing market also, and I think to become a successful freelance writer one must learn all one can about this industry before going "Prime Time"; if one does not wish to fall on their face or lay an egg. Article writing as a freelance writer on some of these bid sites just don't pay a whole lot. This is why one must learn every aspect of the business so one can go into the freelance writing business for ones self instead of using these bidding sites. Most sites that pay good really want professional writers. If you want some sites that pays good money to write for then PM me and I'll send you some of these sites.

Hello, it is a good discussion. It is also in my mind whether possible to get rich quick online. I myself don't think it would be so easy. Need hard work and need time to get rich. It can not be instant like that. That's my logical. Anyway, have a good day. Best wishes,

It is very hard to make that amount of money online, and it is also very difficult to know what site is real or not, what I always think is " if it looks too good to be truth, it probably isn't".

It seems like we have the same mindset. We are careful with our dealings. But according to some business people, we have to learn how to take the risk. I just wish I can learn how to develop that skill, knowing when to take the risk and win.

Most of the promotions that you can earn $500 and more per day are get-rich-scheme which works only for the first row of affiliates. Personally I donĀ“t trust anything which is too promising to be true.

Yeah. I agree. Though there are ways to earn much online, maybe it will take time like developing a website that gets people to view it.

No its not unless you know what your doing and even than. I doubt that you would be able to get "rich" in a short amount of time. Just face it. If you want money you will have to work for it. That or you would have to steal it which obviously isn't a option. I'd love to make some real cash online but lets face it. I won't and so will most of the people who think about it.

I prefer to work for the money that I use to sustain my needs. Anyway, searching is a journey and one learns if you continue to hope. Thanks for your response. :)

It is possible, but not probable... If you have a great idea and market it well then you can look at maybe making $500 in your first month. I am in the process of writing a website that shows most of the free ways of earning online and HOW to earn online. It won't be ready till mid next week but keep an eye on my discussions, this site is going to be a very detailed introduction to help anyone make good money online!
