Can you really make a living off of online earnings only? If it is, how?

Yes, it's possible. Just like offline work, it requires the right approach to business and a lot of work! 99.9% of the get rich quick ideas are rubbish or scam but, if you're willing to put consistent effort into an enterprise or have an innovative idea, an online business can be just as successful as an offline one. There's a beginner's guide in my profile if you're a total novice, which should save you a few weeks of basic research.

I make a living from my online earnings at the moment, and have been doing for the last couple of years, so it is certainly possible for people to do so. I write articles for most of my income, and earn around $10 per day from doing this. In addition to this, I have recently taken up matched betting from which I currently earn around $100 per month. I am not the main earner in my family, but I do contribute a fair amount towards the bills of the house that we live in at the moment, and I am saving up for another flat which we will be renting out to someone else for a little bit of extra income for us.

Personally, I could not, not at this time, any way, because I do not have the experience. But, I know many people are doing very well earning online. I have seen some people who set up their own business websites and do different types of business, trading, consulting, and so on.

Yes, if you are willing to put the effort on it. There are a lot of online work available with decent and even higher pay that offline jobs. You just have to look for them and have the skill set that they are looking for. I know some people who are doing full time work online and are earning for a living in there. Some online jobs need professional skills and some are bloggers and writers. Other make a living through a bunch of online earning sites that they join with a network of different people with the same hobby as they are. You just have to treat the online work as something more like a real life work.

I'm sorry but no you cannot. The most you'd make a week is a few bucks perhaps 1-3 dollars depending on how long you were active but considering that most paid sites give you 0.1-0.25 you would not make a living off of that it's just to low.

I think it could be possible if you were able to push yourself enough to find and stick with ways of earning. I don't think it would be easy but if you were able to find good ways of earning money it wouldn't be any harder than an offline job either.

Hi Absinto, I am sure there is away to make a living off of online earnings, I haven't come across it yet. I know at the rate I am going and getting paid there is no way. I am just going with the flow and enjoying what I am allowed to make as of now. However, I am looking for a part time job.

The key is to not get scamed which is hard. 97 percent of all make-money-from-home websites are scams. Promising you big bucks for doing next-to-nothing. With this in mind, it's a wonder that there are actually legal and legit money-making opportunities out there. But, they are. Knowing how to find them is how you'll make a living online. Mind you, you still have to manage your money and don't have such high expectations. Everyone wants to make what they consider to be a "comfortable" living. But, the sad fact is, it's not reality for many. You have to find the right job for you. And, keep in mind it may actually require skills. So you must be prepared just as if you were applying for a job outside of the home. Those same skills will come in handy.
