The thing about making extra money online is you don't want to get too covetous, too soon. It causes you not to think things done, not to find the best things that really will pay you money and therefore you won't waste your time. If you think that you want to make hundreds upon hundreds of dollars, then you will overthrow yourself.
One dollar a time, gradually building up what you make, adding websites that you can get to a payment at a decent rate, subtracting websites that take forever, but using your common sense to find those that are legit. It might be slow going for a while, but you'll excess even more time by getting too desirous and thus not thinking.

I was thinking about this a few hours ago! Slowly but surely is the best thing in earning online. Never be too greedy or you might end up with scam sites that would ask for you to invest a lot and then poooffff, they disappear right your very eyes.
I have given up on earning sites long time ago as i consider them a waste of my energy and most precious time. But why am i here in mylot? Simply because i'm not considering it an online site but just a diary that i could express ideas and grievances.

I'm still new to mylot and I just don't really know how to earn money with this site. I just try to participate. Yes, money is so slow yet it is getting big as long as you really spend time with this site. Also it teach us to be patient and to realize that every centavo is gotten by hardwork. I loved this site because i was given a chance to express myself and tell other people what i am thinking about.

I agree... sometimes having that desire for riches blinds the individual to the importance of moving right along.

I definitely agree with you, earning online is very slow and hard to reah but they will pay you for what you had done. If you will just focus on i then you will earn hundred of dollars but if you are just doing it during spare time, then you will earn only a dollar.

I think online money making gives us an alternative on how to earn money. This is one of the best I think since we are given the chance to do what we want in our own phase and way. Slowly but surely is a nice thing here. But there are also other sites which offers some boosts in earnings which some of us can use.

I think most people give up because of it is slow to start. I really got into the online income once I started making some money on squidoo. Then I had the courage to try other things out and really research what other opportunities there are. I am not making anywhere near a livable wage online but hopefully with enough dedication I can be happy with my part-time work in real life and still be making it financially.
For those out there who haven't made anything yet. Your time will come if you are patient and willing to seek advice from multiple sources you can make a little extra online.

the goes with mylot. you earn by participating in the discussions. you do it slowly but surely, at the end of the day, you will earn. you just could not force yourself to get to the payout easily, you have to work for it.

I think common sense also goes to knowing which ones you are assured of making the most on and working on them most. I do that and then also do surveys and write articles. Accomplishing something everyday gets you closer and closer. THen I also save most of what I make on Paypal and use it only when I really need extra.

Hi pogi,
Emm...,I agree, slow but sure, that's what I experienced from earning online. I do not have any idea to make hundreds and thousands of dollars of earning online. In accordance with the limited time from me. I do not know if I sit all day on a computer screen, perhaps hundreds of dollars I would find.

Pogi-- You are telling that we should not too desirous or too greedy. (I could not know the meaning of the word 'covetous' --I went through dictionary and then only got the meaning for that word and tried to understand what you are telling).I agree with you. Through legitimate online sites like mylot we can make only a few dollars and not hundreds of dollars. Slow and steady wins the race.--We can remember the hare and tortoise story here.

I totally agree with you. Sometimes, persons want to win money so fast that they ended up being scamed. No one wins a lot of money fast (unless you win on lottery! 
).

Some people even think that doing online jobs such as this doesn't need patience, effort and a lot of creativity to make money. Some just post for the sake of posting without even thinking if they make quality posts. They whine about how slow their earnings can be but they never think if they are doing their part. We get what we deserve, that is one thing that I learned. Since we are already enjoying the perks of having to manage our time and do online jobs when we are available I guess it's already something that we should be thankful for. I am determined to do good on every post I make and hope that eventually I will earn and learn at the same time.

I absolutly agree with you. And with that method I reach $100 a month almost every month. For me that is a lot of money. It means the difference between living frugally or taking a 2 weeks vacation each year. The last one is the luxury I get from my earnings online. I build my downline (small ones) by trading sites and I don´t invest because I have been scammed.
Today I had the pleasure of reaching $8 at neobux. $2 to go yet. I had cashed out there just before my vacations in March and started from zero when I got home.
Other sites are slower, such as the Aurora sites. I don´t mind, as long as they are legit.
