Newbie Or Advanced? How Long Have You Earned Online?

I see comments from people every day that are just starting out. Considering how long on line earning has been around it never fails to surprise me how many people just heard about it. Many of my personal friends, before I started, never knew how to earn that extra cash. I've been doing this for 3 years now and with many hits and misses have narrowed it down. Even with that amount of time in, I still don't consider myself as advanced. For example, I just a few months ago joined my first gpt site. Why I'd never done that before is beyond me. Much faster earnings then any ptc site out there. In this on line earnings there seem to always be new things to learn about. It's never ending. So how long have you been into this? do you consider yourself a newbie to the game? And when would you call yourself an advanced player? I can't wait to hear the responses on this and if you do say advanced, please explain why. Thanks guys.

Advanced. I have been studying marketing, web traffic to websites, and have been blogging for several years now. I know a lot about mostly everything and enjoy sharing what I know with others on my blog. I try to stay updated with changing methods and strategies online as it changes often. I mainly studied a few of the same experts for some time until I became one myself within the last few years. Best of luck to you all.

I'm impressed! I just don't have the time to spend on most sites to earn. I need quick and easy, lol. I do agree with how quickly things can change. Thanks for your response and keep up the great work.

I consider myself a newbie even though i have been earning online for more than a year not. I think it was time well spent and have learnt a few tricks , some tips from others and things that can speed up the process but now that i am starting i am starting anew. i at this moment have multiple streams of income though they are slow they will start giving dividends after a few months.

I've been into this for approximately 3 years. I started out thinking I could make millions and do little work. I have learned that you have to be careful of scams, because there are a lot of scams out there. I have run into a few excellent sites, but the majority are a load of junk and have little tricks. I have tried about any type of online money making you can think about, but right now I am focused on myLot, because it displays discussions that appeal to your interests. I would consider myself a Intermediate, because I still have a lot farther to go in using the Internet to gain cash.

I've been at it for about a year. Recieved actual money for only a couple of months. Four to be exact. I was working outside the home for quite some time and I didn't have enough time during the day I was tired all the time and was rarely online as often as I am now. So I started doing the research and stumbled upon here. this will be my forth payout.

Well I am in online earning for a while but I didn't had enough time because of school and sports [ My top priorities ]. So If you could please share some pieces of advices and some good legit sites it would be so nice! In more than 8 months i made only...wait for it.... 80 cents for writing articles! And i'm really desperate because I need money and I'm 16, I can't take jobs because of my age and studies. Thank you.

School should be tops for you and I'm glad that you've made it that way. There are some great sites that I'm a member of but some of them I think you have to be 18 to join. I could send you the links to them all but make sure you read the TOS before joining. I wouldn't want you to spend time there only to find out you can't cash out because of your age. Add me if you'd like to.

I have only been looking into earning online for about the past 4 years & like you, I consider myself a novice & have had alot of hit & misses. I haven't had much time to earn online this year but have recieved a $20 gift voucher in the mail & am waiting on a $50 prepaid visa....other than that, my online earnings are meagre as I find it hard to get referrals so I normally slog it alone. I agree, there are heaps of new things popping up every day just about so unless you can find your niche for earning, I don't think any of us can consider ourselves advanced or experts. Good luck to all who are trying to earn a few extra bucks online.

I've been doing it for several years but I didn't do much but spin my wheels for a while. Only about the last two years have I figured out how to increase my monthly income online. I don't consider myself "advanced" though since I am still learning new things all the time. I'm not a newbie but I'm not one of the big money makers yet so I'm somewhere in the middle.

hi! I am still a newbie in the online earning business, because I am in the game from about 2-3 months and there are still some things that I have to learn, but I already have found some good paying and trusted site, which bring me some extra incomes every month!

I'm happy that you have started earning so well. It took me a while. At first I fell for all those high paying sites that I now know never pay, lol. You are off to a much better start then I was and I hope that you will continue to earn and learn. Always be careful but never so careful as to not give something a try. Just do searches and never invest your own money. there's no need to when there are so many sites that will pay you and not the other way around. good luck in all you do and thanks for your response.

I am new to this online thing. They said that you cannot teach old dogs new tricks but this doggy granny will do anything to help out her children and grandchildren to earn extra money. I hope that 1 year down the line I can come back here and typed I earned a lot.

I've been earning a little online for over 3 years, but have just started to really get into it. For the past couple of months I have been trying even harder to earn money, and am always looking for new ways to earn.
