Sifting through the trash

I am so tired of looking for online work. I have tried working on PTC sites but the time you have to put into it, and the pay you get in return, just aren't worth it. I am starting to think that unless you have money to invest, you can't get anything worth the money. I have gotten paid here a few times and that's about it. I have thought about dedicating all my time to mylot, which at this point isn't a bad idea, but I just can't make enough money to help support myself. I have tried getting a part time job outside the house, but because of the times that I have to drop off my kids and pick them up from school, no one will hire me. It is so frustrating. I just don't know what to do anymore. There are people telling me I should put the kids in a day home that will drop them off and pick up my kids, but they don't seem to understand that I don't have the money to do that. I can't do a blog as I have tried and been banned (Unjustly) from Google adsense and I just don't know what else to do. Do you make a legit income online? Do you mind me asking how much? What are some sites that I can go to for help?

I have a few website that might be useful for you and if you decide blogging again I know some paid per visit that can earn some if you can generate many visitors. You can also check my blog under my profile that give guides and paymentproof to some sites I am using to earn $10 daily. You can always drop me a message if you need help or have any quetions.

There are mnay ways to earn online, if u were to ask me or ask around. Everybody would be giving u the standard ways of earning, like blogging, article writing, freelancing. Let me tell u this, income from those are not sustainable at all. In order to survive, u need real cash and nothing beats than working out there. There are many jobs available out there, i believe u would be able to find one. Let them know your difficulties and tell them u are willing to make changes to your work schedule. EMployers like their staffs to take initiative.

I make a tiny bit of money online. $40-&60 per month. Some places I only cash out about once a year. Most of them make just pennies. Many folks do not understand that the cost of daycare puts many jobs out of the question. Why work all day if you check just goes for daycare? There are sites that I would like to have referrals for and other sites that I get nothing for. There are task sites like MTurk and microworkers where you can do little tasks. There are sites that pay for page views etc. Like Helium, Triond HubPages and I am not sure what else. I know someone who makes money on Squidoo. If you go to Textbrokers.com you can take a test and get approved to write freelance articles. I am not doing them right now, just have not made myself do it. I know people who make a bit on Textbroker and Helium that post here. My daughter writes occasionally for Textbroker and she likes it. All of these are free to join. Good luck.

Hi Crivas, I empathise with your frustration. Sorry things aren't going for you as you'd like. The first thing I would say is to walk away from your computer for a day or so. Or if you are gonna use it, only use it for non-money stuff. Just take a mind break from it all for a few days (if you can). Second: have you heard of WAHM forums - Work At Home Mum - (Wahm.com/forum)? It might be worth you visiting. Not only is it a supportive forum for parents working from home (or who want to), it lists writing, VA, transcription jobs, etc, and also gives great advice. You could also start a thread asking for where you can find work - they're very supportive, helpful and understand. Third: Have you heard of and/or tried CloudCrowd.com? Writing, editing, reviewing and translation tasks (other tasks too). Pay per task varies. Pays every weekday via Paypal. Hope this helps. Take care...
