I know a lot of people are trying (some are succeeding) to earn a living online. It's hard work but so is a "normal" job. Most of us keep in touch with family overseas via internet. Our latest big internet venture is trying to win a scholarship for my son and amazingly all the friends we've made on the internet have been a big blessing as they vote for his video: http://fullride.mi.edu/contest.php?sid=177&aid=58529&mid=35425&mtype=2 How have you used the internet?

I use the internet mostly for keeping in touch through Facebook and stuff, or for doing homework...plus I try to make a little money here and there on the side. Out of curiosity, how much is the music scholarship worth? I wish I had known about it so I could try out, though I probably wouldn't get it, lol. Also, which university is your son auditioning for? I have a friend who plays drumset who auditioned for UNT and their full ride...apparently they have a great drumset program, and I was wondering if your son applied there? (seeing has he plays drumset)

Hey MoneyMaker. The scholarship is a full ride scholarship for MI (Musicians Institute) in Hollywood California. Winner also get $10,000 in cash. Runner up gets a full scholarship also, without cash. And the second runner up gets a partial scholarship. Yeah, it's a little late to enter the competition now, they've gone on to the next round. But the school has other scholarship available. For some all you need is a video of you playing your instrument. It's a great school.

Yes, I do use the internet to my advantage. I started using internet to communicate with friends as well as make a research on important things. But later on, I found out that there is more than that on the internet. I have also learned how to earn online using the internet. Well for as long as you use the internet the right way, then you can really gain a lot.

Yep, I totally agree. The internet is very helpful for research on just about any subject and making money online . . . tricky but do-able.

There are many advantages that we can get from the internet. Aside from the accesibility of the web for the information that we needed. This is also the source of income of plenty of people now a days.

I used the Internet to pay bills, apply for scholarships, university and keeping touch with friends that I rarely contact. It's been very helpful to achieve my aims.

I like the paying bills online myself. It's so quick and easy, and no more paper bills.

Well personally for me over the yrs, that I have been using the Internet I have been able to say I have done some interesting things, and things that I have been able to earn some decent $ doing and things that I regret ever finding. One day I would Love to be able to explore more and find out if the Work From Home legitimate site I have found is something that would work for me.

I know that someone must be making money with these work from home programs. Guess it's finding the legit ones and getting referrals. The latter, of course, seems a little tricky.

Hi. gtargirl. I see a guy playing a guitar, but I won't be able to hear him play the song. I have researched many kinds of information while I have been on the Internet. I have also made a lot of money on the Internet too, it has not been that much of money, but it is a whole lot compared to no money at all. I have also been able to find and connect back with many people that I have not seen in a long time on the Internet too. I have signed up free items. I have been able to look under things that I would love to order. I have been able to use the Internet to my advantage a whole lot, and I still am too.

I used the internet by making money on line in order to meet the needs of my family. I am thankful to the one who discover this invention for we just cannot earn extra money we can also get to see our immediate family & relatives in other country.
