Online Earnings

United States
April 12, 2010 1:38pm CST
I was just wondering what everyone here uses their online earnings for? Do you use it to pay for your Internet usage, electricity or save towards something you need, a treat for yourself or family? I myself together with my husband use our online earnings towards an investment property. We take our earnings and place it all in an online bank account and gain interest on it while we keep saving.

My husband and I use our online earnings on various things. The newest one being, and your husband knows this since we're on one of the same OL MM's, is to buy a truck. We'll be making payments for ten months on it so I'm hoping to be able to do most of that with online earnings, and we'd like to get it payed off before ten months if we can help it!

Good luck with that! There are so many sites out there, I hope they serve you well. A truck is an investment. Best of luck with your earnings!

Yes I know it will be very helpful to us, and not only is it an investment it's something my husband and I both like. We know the condition of the truck and we already drive it so it works out real well.

I personally save them for bigger shoppings: Clothes, computers, video games and other electronics. I haven't got enough online earnings for any kind of spending, because I have only 0,74$ on my PayPal account I think that what you do is very wise, and that you can make some very good income by doing stuff like that, because you have them in safety.

I am sure your PayPal will grow a lot quicker soon. I am using my Amazon gift cards now to buy some electronics and books, nothing like free stuff ;) Best of luck

Thanks, but I haven't found some really good sites that would really get me good income. I do make some income trough myLot, Gagabux, Neobux, Triond and Bukisa. I also use a site called Lockerz which gives cool prizes pointz aka PTZ. I am being positive though, and I am hoping for better days. Gagabux should pay me 2$, but it's pay out takes like a week or something. Were you get your amazon gift cards? Is it a site? If it is, then PM me please

My on line earnings goes to a few different faves of mine. First I love to entertain! We have annual Christmas Eve parties, 4th of July, Thanksgiving and Easter is always at my house. These dinners are for over 20 people so it can add up quickly. I pay for these out of what I make on line. Another is I save money up for Christmas shopping and I have a huge weakness for Abercrombie clothing. It's my favorite store and the clothes feel so wonderful when you wear them. I just bought an outfit this past Monday from their on line store. Don't you just love paypal and site earnings.

I use mine for buying presents for family. It is lovely to be able to buy my husband a birthday or Christmas present entirely from my own money. Last years earnings were very good and I was able to buy us a Greenhouse so I can do more with the vegetable growing . My earnings fund the seeds and tools and have done for the last 3 or 4 years.

That is so amazing! Good luck to you! I love growing my own herbs and vegetables. If you are in the US you can use the many sites that provide Amazon gift cards to help cover costs and getting new equipment etc.

Thanks. We are in the uk but I do manage to find a few surveys that pay in Amazon vouchers. I think you would be hard pressed to make a lot of money online but certainly it can be a worthwhile venture if you keep your ambitions sensible.

Any income earned goes to my little one. I am trying to find different ways to increase revenue to have for her when she gets older to secure her in financial matters god forbid something should happen to one of us. I do these in my my spare time.

Since I'm still a teenager, I don't have much financial responsibilities yet (lol), so I use my earnings to buy things I want. My parents don't give me money to buy stuff like clothes and such, so I earn money for myself. I also use the money I earn to buy gifts for my loved ones. If you don't mind me asking, what online bank are you investing in? I would like to invest my money, but I don't know where.

For now, I am just saving my online earnings but I will spend a little at a time here and there from my AlertPay account. I am not able to use what I have in PayPal until I can get a checking account. What I have in Liberty Reserve is very low since I haven't used them much. My online earnings would be for buying stuff which I want or may need.

I've used it for many things.. When I was short on cash I have used it to pay my bills. I also use it to buy things I need online. Like Ink for my printer or Medicine for my dogs or even just something I want like CD's or DVD's. It's great having a little extra cash sitting around.. it's almost like haveing a coupon or a Gift card when I go shopping online.. And usually I go through my favorite site Big Crumbs when I make those purchases and I SAVE more and then get some of my cash back, to use the next time I shop. That's a great deal!

I earn a considerable amount through the Internet, and you can say I make my living out of it. To pay all the bills, and my other living costs. Not only that, sometimes I could also make a considerable savings too, after paying for all the expenses. If you want to earn that much like me, kindly PM me or visit my website for further details.

Approaching an island - We went to Kunayala ( also called the San Blas islands) in Panama. The place is like one is going back to before Columbus came to America.
I treat myself to a vacation every year. I am retired, live alone and have enough money to live frugally but well. My house is completly paid for so I don´t have the problems of a mortgage or a rent. But my budget does not allow for vacations so I pay for that with my online earnings. The last one was on January 2009. I went to the Caribbean , invited by some friends for a 3 week sailboat trip if I paid for my air ticket and my share of the food. I did and I went. It was awesome! A real adventure for a 63 year old witch! My avatar is a picture taken aboard the ship. I´ll check if I have another one.

I use my earnings from "free money sites" like MyLot to make more money online via "paid websites" like online network marketing. Free sites can earn you money without much investment from your part, but the amount of money you can earn from "free money sites" is very limited to small amounts it is very impossible you can earn big money from here. I have observed many people who are fond of earning "free money" are not used to joining online businesses that require "start-up capital". But that's where the big money is! Online business!

Wow! Im very happy for all of you who experienced to earn from on line income especially to you TeamCholent... I never experience yet to earn an online income and even if i reach the minimum pay out of earning sites ive joined i think that those was not big. I hope i could earn good amount of money here in the net. Thanks and have a nice day ahead!

Hi TeamCholent, Lately, I've been looking for something that I can earn over the internet to increase my revenue and to save as well. It's a feeling that you wanted to earn some more aside from work most especially this point in time. When the earnings would get bigger, I would surely like to invest them in a business and insurance.

I don't make all that much money online, but what I do make, I put it in my savings account, and I haven't been able to put much there so far, but I think as time goes on, I will. Earning money online these days can be hard as it takes a lot more money to be able to survive, as it costs so much more for things than it used to. I don't mind doing things online though, even it it is a small amount, as in time it becomes big and adds up so that it seems like a lot I would be putting into my savings account. I have had a very hard time saving up money lately, as I am on a fixed income, and that only goes so far, so I have had to use some of my online earnings to help pay bills, and now I am working really hard trying to build it back up again. I am just glad that right now, things are going better fro me, so I can save money as that is what I need to do so I can buy things I need or want. I don't want to spend frivolously though as when the monehy is gone, then I won't have it, so I am careful what I do spend. I have been an impulse buyer mostly, and I am trying to change that. I do need to stop that, and with God's help I will be albe to do just that. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.
