How much is your minimum target income online? How did you arrive with that?

I am not sure if I should increase my target income online per daily basis. I only set a target based on the minimum wage of an offline employee here in my country Philippines. I round it off to P500 or $12 a day (Probably 8 hours of work). For the transportation, benefit deductions and so on, I just think of it as equivalent to internet usage and electricity. Do you think I should increase my target? How about you? How do you set your target and how much is that per day? I hope to learn from you guys. Thank you in advance!

I am happy that you get to have a lot of earning sites and you deserve every penny that you earn for your hard work. But don't you think you might be pushing yourself too hard to target $12 a day? Not unless you really have sites that allow you to earn more than $3/ site for just a few hours each. Sis, I can feel you are all hyped up in earning and I can just feel your enthusiasm everytime. But just take extra careful with your health, okay? I could not set a goal as much as you want coz I don't have other real paying sites that can promise me as much in a day. But if you happen to find a virtual asssitant job, you can probably earn more than $12 in a day in just 4-5 hours of work each day.

I can understand your wanting to be free in doing your own thing without having to worry to meet any deadline. And if you think that you can handle what you are currently doing, then that's fine. Just the health thing, of course. Take care,sis!

Hi jenny1015! Thank you sis. Don't worry, for the $12, I don't feel exhausted working for those sites to achieve that amount. I can still manage to work more for other sites. I only work for few hours. I am happy that there are such sites that pays generously. I don't have regrets leaving freelance article writing for a while. For virtual assistant job, I haven't tried that yet although I received offers from my other friends who are into that kind of job. I just can't work for any boss as of the moment. I prefer working with time freedom. Mwah! Thank you for your concern about my health. Love you sis.

I think it is a good idea to set a goal and keep track of your activities online. Create a spreadsheet that you will write down what you started with and ended with daily for each site. This will help weed out the ones that are not making you any money and show you where the money is good!

It does help to see exactly where you are spending time and what is making you money. I wish I was an expert at making $ online. If I were, I would be making more money! LOL Good luck.

Hi Shellyann36! Yes it is. Hehe. I want to treat my online job as an offline job wherein I can track my earnings. That's a good suggestion. I haven't done that yet. I think I should start pulling my Excel spreadsheet now and start listing down my online income per site. I think you're really an expert to online money making. Yap, I also plan to remove some sites on my list that I think is not worth my time because I don't want to end up not really accomplishing what I should. Brilliant idea! Thank you.

Hi CandyzNikka, for me, the question is where and what site should you work to get that target of $12? Actually this is really something if you could really earn big like that. But you need to remember also that it will involve time and effort to do and earn that, besides what site do you trust that they will pay you that same amount you were targeting. We do know that there is no site that pays you without meeting the threshold. There is no such site that pays you automatically. You need to wait to reach a certain amount. Working online is difficult, sites do come and go. But what will determine your capability to earn is your motivation or desire to get what you want. I don't target an amount because I am taking care of my little one. I can only do work online when he is sleeping or someone would take care of him for quite some time. What I do is, when I know a site that really pays my hard work, I concentrate on that site. Have a nice day!

Hi strawberrychocodahi! Yap, that's right. For me I've already found 3 sites that allows me to earn that amount. Hehe. The good thing is I don't really feel it's a job because I'm enjoying what I do. The only problem is that when the site is having down time on it's server or delay on payments. I need to look for 1 or 2 more site that is stable in terms of sending payments on time. Thank you.

Yes probably we all have our own targets and trying to achieve the same.I got my first payment to my paypal account that is only $0.01 and I was happy and last year I earned sometimes $700 a month and since my last program turned scam its down to $100 a month now and still I have not lost my hopes and I want to make at least $200 a day and I have selected MLM and working on the best program which is working and paying for more than 10 years to their members and once I achieve it I will be able to earn my dream income. But eventhough I have set a target for me but I am happy whatever I am earning as this online earning is supplement to me and I am happy till I make no loss after paying the internet charges and two memberships which costs me $200 per year but they are worth it..I hope till the end of this year the things will improve and I will be a little closer to my targetted income.

Wow! $700 a month! That's so huge! Is it HYIP? The $0.01 is a good start. May I know what MLM website is that?

Hello Setting target is good. But these days I am not setting any. Well, even I will not able to complete if if I am setting any. I have irregular offline schedule these days, so I am not that active for my online activity. But I used to come here for my free time, and yes can earn good from my different online activity.

Hi akp100! I'm happy to meet you. People like you who have offline work and online work really inspires me more. I might do the same thing when I'm back working offline. It's great to have extra cash to spend on some things we want and not just need. Hehe.

If you are working online on a full time, then probably that amount would be enough already. Were you able to achieve it? Well personally, I want at least a thousand a day ($25). Perhaps if I could earn this amount,it would be better for me. But as of now, I am far behind this goal. I need to work harder. I'm positive that I could achieve this goal in the days to come. Have a great day!

Yes I know it is possible to earn this amount. My sister is earning more than $25 from online source. She is working online on a full time. The only difference is that you don't enjoy the benefits that working in a company offer such as counter part in SSS contributions, Philhealth, etc. But you can have it on your own. The good thing is that you can work at your own home less the expenses in travel and other burden such as having a boss. I'm glad that you can be able to get that amount online. Hope you get more than that because eventually, that amount won't be enough anymore. I know you can do it. Have a great day!

Hi ARIES1973! Yes sis. I was able to achieve the $12 in a day and sometimes more than that because of 3 sites I'm working on. Even though I need to wait to meet the minimum amount before I can cash out and wait for 1 to 2 weeks to withdraw the earnings. For the $25 I think it's also achievable even for earning free online. But it can be from 3 to 5 websites. It depends. I believe you can achieve more than that if you're working full time online but as you've mentioned you're also working offline; you don't really need much to set online.

when i was starting, i had my minimum target earning online. now that i am done with the beginner's level, i have my maximum target income from online activities. i think it is advisable that you do not dwell and satisfy with the minimum target. start from somewhere, and target the maximum to be able to increase exponentially the earnings.

Hi mensab! How much is your target before and how much is your target now? I might increase my target after my check up if it shows good result. I need to be extra careful with my health.

After seeing all the "success" stories online, I started believing I can earn good money through the internet. After joining several scams, I realised that all is hoax. Of course, I did eventually found some legit site but I can't depend my monthly income solely through it. Since I have a full time job, I will take participate only when I am free.

Hi sjlskl! I wish I knew it earlier. Hehe. I admire people like you who have an offline job yet still wants to earn more by working online too. With the recession some countries are still facing, it's best to have extra income to save for the future. Thank you. Just search the site's name and add the word review or scam so you won't be joining those not legit sites.

Wow! You guys get paid nothing, I get paid $12 an hour for 8 hours a work. Online is extra money to me and barely buys my groceries let alone any other bills.

My target currently is to make at least $5 a day. Now if I am working on Humanatic, TranscribeMe, Mylot, and Bubblews all day long, then I can surpass this. I also just recently joined Postloop and am almost at cash out on there as well. I want to set my goal higher however... and am looking for ways to make more on Humanatic as people are making anywhere between $30-50 a day... I'd like to be able to do this. I think that you should definitely increase your target goal as I know you can make more than $12 a day :)

Hi Kementari! We almost have the same websites. Hehe. Yap, we just have to focus and have good time management to achieve our target in a day. Too bad for me because I did not make it to TranscribeMe. That time I don't have a headphone. I wasn't able to clearly hear the audios. If you know any transcribing site kindly PM me. For sure you can achieve $30 to $50 a day on Humanatic. You just have to stick with the category you find easiest to maintain a high accuracy score and later on let you do more categories. I've learned from other Humans that you can do 11 categories to review. We can do it!

I think it is a good idea if you have minimum target to get money online a day. But I do not have the target, because I was pregnant, I should keep the health of me and my fetus. I hope i can put a minimum target for my earning a day after I birth my baby.
• Philippines
26 Apr 13
Hi srisahara! Yap, I agree with you. You should prioritize your safety first and your baby in terms of health for your pregnancy. As much as possible I should also limit myself working too much online because of my health condition. I'm happy that I can meet my set target of $12 in a day. I don't make goals before but I think I should now because I want to monitor my monthly income so I can assess how much budget should I go further for my medicine and in a way I can save some few bucks too.

i can earn almost 2 dollars daily,it makes almost 50 60 dollars in a month. i think earning from online takes time,and need experiences. your profit is really good.i envy you. i wish you can earn more. peace

Hi scubapro! I think my earning is just an average for online workers. You can surely increase your $2 more. There are several legit sites that you can join and trying out. For me the best earning site so far that is free is through writing. I am not a born writer but I love what I do and I just keep learning to improve my skills. Thank you.

My goal is to earn at least $30 per day online. I'm still working on it and I know I can do it. I'm seeing good results from efforts and I should be near my target in a few months from now;.

26 Apr 13
Wow! mrindustrious! I also hope to set my target higher but maybe after my operation. May I know what job online and which websites you're working for to make $30 a daily target possible? I like that amount.

I don't set a target because I am working during daytime.It is quite hard. There are times that I even couldn't earn a day. I just do this as a past time.

it's so good to have a target, that makes people have more energy I think. I do not have a target income because I really do not have so much time to write this. And I'm not good at this so it's a little hard for me to earn much money. I'm so surprised that some people can get a real much money onlion. well, no matterwhat, good luck!

It's good to set a target. That way you know what you're shooting for. I make $50 a day online. It takes a LOT of work and good time management but it's worth it. Good luck! Remember, there's no such thing as easy money :)

I don't normally set a target income for my online job. Since I work as a freelancer, my daily income online depends on the bulk of project that the employers will give me. And as to my sidelines, I just post whenever I feel like posting. But so far, I am earning minimum $5 a day and I'm already contented with it :)

I just started some earning online, which I am not sre how much I sould aim for. I have read that some can get a lot but some people said it is almost impossible to get a dollar per day. I just hoping for only $5 a day that is ok for me because it is my extra earning.
