My goal: at least $20 a day. Do you feel bad when you don't earn much?

In earning online, there are good days and bad days. As for me, somehow I feel bad when I cannot meet my goal of making at least $20 a day. During the bad days, do you feel bad when you don't do well?

20 dollars in aday is a lot. If most filipinos can earn at least just half of that online i guess there will be more jobs available offline. Sadly though i never earn that much in a day. More like in two months but i'm OK with it. The more i pressure myself to earn online the less earnings i make.

Yes, I know it is. Actually, I based it on my earnings for my previous job where I was earning a measly net income of about $14 a day, and where I still had to commute to work and be stressed out the whole day. But it is really possible since I was able to make $600 in April and $650 last May. Don't pressure yourself too much because there are a lot of online opportunities out there. I am still trying to find other sites and I will be posting them on my blog soon.

$20 a day online? You must be very hardworking in doing all that online work. If it's a real life job, $20 is very little actually. $20 USD? I earn about USD 20+ an hour by teaching tuition.

Hi! No I am not really that hardworking since there are days when I do not do any work. I mean nothing productive like with monetary rewards, but I still spend most of my time online like doing research and improving my blog, etc. I am a freelance writer, and I work online. This is my REAL job and I am proud to say so because I have been in a worse situation. You can just take a look at the other responses/comments to this discussion and you'll realize what I am saying. You're lucky you can earn better, although I am happy where I am now. Thanks for your response!

Do you really earn $20 a day? are you serious? if you are earning this much then reaching around $600 a month is too much for anyone for sure as it is very good earning.I have never reached more than $135 per month and that too after struggling for so many hours a day, i could reach around $134 once.How do you work? do you have any program list where you work daily and do you only work on limited programs daily or do you have a big list to look after daily? as reaching $20 a day is really a huge task for anyone

Yes I am alienstar. I earned $600+ last April and $650+ last May. This month, I am having a difficult time getting to my goal that's why I started this discussion. Writing jobs on the academic sites I work for are dwindling, hence I have less than $300 on my monthly earnings at the moment - although I still have 4 projects to do until the end of the month. Maybe I will get to a little less than $400 before month's end. I am a freelance writer for academic online websites and other writing sites. You can take a look at my website (which I update regularly) so you can see the links to the sites I work for, as well as my proof of earnings. If you're interested in writing, you can access the links over at my site. I also do transcription jobs as filler, and other small tasks over Cloudcrowd, Mturk and other similar sites. You see, nothing is impossible if you're determined and dedicated to what you are doing. I work around 10-14 hours a day on the average, although sometimes, I have a lot of interruptions in between. These days, when I do not have much writing assignments, I devote much of my time to improving my website, adding more links and adding more useful content on my blogs. This way, I can help more friends like you to earn over the internet. You can give it a try, you have nothing to lose.

Yes, that's correct kad666. The $20 a day is for a day's total earnings, not only from mylot. That is not really possible.

$20 a day? I will take that any time. I really congratulate you for making or even targeting such a number. You must be very diligent and patient. So far, I was not very successful, but I hope that my online earning will get a boost the coming months. And again, let me say that even $10 a day is considered a fortune in making money online. Keep it up and would love to follow your footsteps.

I don't particularly care how much I earn. I am here for community, the money is nice but not the be all end all of my Mylot life. Twenty dollars is a lot to earn here. I hope you will be successful, though.

I've added you as my friend. Sorry about the site but you have to navigate it well to exhaust the contents. It was designed that way so that you'll be able to maximize the benefits of the site. The links are on the left portion of the blog, also the labels for the articles; but you will find browsing through the articles will help a lot to fully understand the value of PATIENCE.

At first I was skeptical of your 20$ per day goal. But after viewing your profile and reading your blog, I can say that yes, it is possible. How did you do that? I hope you can give me tips and advices on how to achieve your current status right now.

Hi! You can just take a look at my blog. All the stories related to my online writing adventures are there. There was even a time when I was able to make $100 for a 5-page writing job! Well, that was just a lucky shot, although I really try my best to make $20 the lower limit to my daily earnings. I currently write freelance for online academic websites. I also write for other online sites like Bright Hub, Shvoong, and do other tasks like transcription and small tasks when I do not have writing assignments. One important useful advice: Do not lose sight of your goal and always work towards that goal. It embodies everything that has to be done to succeed in earning online.

20$ a day is too much for me at the moment. At best I can earn 20$ in six months online. I'm still trying to figure out the various ways through which I can earn online so I have not yet set any goals for earning.

Hello! Please take a look at my blog. There are a lot of links to earning sites which I have posted there. If you're interested in writing, I'm sure you can make more than my daily earning goal. Good luck!

I do not think $20 is a bad amount. Yes, if your only earning is through online, then it is a different matter. Even then, $20, is not a small amount. I would anyday settle for such a job, where you earn $20 a day and you do not have to run to your office or break your head searching for solutions in your day to day work. Can we exchange our jobs?!!!!

Nah, I'd prefer not to. I came from office work too and I got tired of the pressure. But you can join me later on here over the net if you like. Join me on my site so you can increase your earning potential. Best of luck to you!

hi! joram328, I like your attitude in earning online. I wished I could be like that. But would believe, I haven't tasted yet the fruit of my labor in online activity. I feel bad about it. I am not really good at it. I always read your blog regarding earning money. It motivates to work and earn online. But I cannot level your knowledge and expertise. I hope make that $20 a day. I am nurturing myself to work online.

Actually, my blog isn't earning yet :-( The $20 a day goal mostly comes from writing for online websites. I am not paid upfront for my work but I have been regularly paid by the LEGIT sites that I am writing for.

very nice you are earning $20 per day. i know everybody can earn but many people are not desperate to earn from internet. it takes time to reach that level .

Yes, I feel bad but making $20 is really difficult task. I have completed many tasks on websites like MTurk but the payment is very low hardly able to earn 0.25 to 0.50$ per day. I have posted articles on Triond but after posting 10 articles I was able to earn $0.16. So I think first the target for freshers should be $2-3.

I have a job, so online earning is only an extra income for me. I can't depend on the online earning because I earn quite a little bit. I can't regard it as my main job because I can't make a living by this little earning. That's great that you have a goal to earn USD20 in a day. If you know any honest earning websites, please let me know and I would like to be your referral. I love China

I would feel bad if I did not do something well. I also want to get a lot of income through online job. But I always do according to my ability. I do not really want to reach the target, although I desperately need more income.

Your goal is too high for me. means i think i will never able to earn that money :( because it needs too hard skills and knowledge. Well, i think $20 is also enough for many persons because each person can easily complete their dream by earning $20 a day.I heard there are some persons making more than 1000$ in just one day so just think about it, They have given much time&effort to their work so they are able to do it.So nothing is impossible in the world. Just give sometime and try it, you can do it.
