I recently learned the answer to this question. Not that I'm an expert, because I'm not. But I recently got an interesting eye opener. So I wanted to find out what other people think about working online. Either here on myLot, or blogging, or cpc, reading emails, whatever. What are your challenges and what are the things that should be simpler but aren't? What has been your worst experience, and what has been your best?

Making money is difficult. It takes a lot of time, effort, patience amd hard work just to earn a few dollars or cents even. I thought working online is going to be easy since I can do that home. But when I started accepting jobs, it's really time consuming and there are some responsibilities that I wasn't able to attend to because I need to finish a task and make it before the deadline.

It's always difficult. I offered some graphic making services in some sites. I have to deal with buyers who gave vague instructions, buyers who never reply my messages, buyers looking for free work and etc. It can be frustrating.

Wow, so you are really trying to get it done. It's hard to take a business like that and get presence and good customers on the web. How long have you been at it?

Hmm... I didn't even know you could do that. :) I've been having some success with my current project. It's pretty incredible actually. It was simple to set up and it's actually fun, for me at least. I think with anything it is about the individual and how willing to put in real effort they are...

How long? I'm not sure. I guess I been at it for half a year or more? But now I decided to just stick to T-shirt designing at print on demand sites. After I upload my design, I'll let the website take care of everything for me while I earn commission from each T-shirt sale.

Simple,first there is too much scams around the world wide web and most the paying ones are slow earners. The only fast way to earn money online was to strip online but we know money cant buy dignity. The writing jobs pays decently but they were mentally draining specially if you write about something you are not interested with. do you have a pet cat who happens to be cute? Cat videos on youtube actually makes money if they go viral.

You know I never found anything like that in the tasks portion of this site, but I'm not that dedicated to it. So what are you doing now that Sharon isn't paying for tasks anymore?

I don't think it is hard to make money online at all - i make around £500 per month from online earnings - the hard thing is knowing what to do and how to avoid scams, that is why i support people with their earning and teach them what to do ;)
