Is there still a way to earn easy-money? For me, nothing now in this world is for free. We have to work doubly hard for it, and if it's not enough, we have to find an extra opportunity to keep up with our own ways of living. To pay for our household bills, children's school fees and for our basic household commodities. What are your ways to look for extra money, is it enough to suffice your basic needs? Aside from having a current job, what other sources of income do you have?

As you said to earn more we have to doble our effort to work in able for us to have enough for our family and for payment of bills. As a working mom , law student and a loyal mylot member we are into a family bussiness and that's where some extra income came. WE have to maximize our resources so that we can have some savings for future use.

It's a good thing you already have your own family business!;) I think if ever I would put up one of my own, I just have to improve it on and on to make ends meet..

I don' count on what I earn online. It's just for fun, and it can't make me rich. If I want to earn a good money, I need to work for it with my both hands, and not by typing on computer. That's what a lot of people think they can do, but they are wrong. Almost NO ONE can become rich from internet.

Very good point my friend, but I'm sure that most of us here do not expect to get rich that easy. I myself is just for having fun here, I enjoy the discussions and earn a little money at the same time..

i also don't think it really possible to earn so easily. i have got many links but nothing seems very authentic to pay u. they commit something and don't do that at all. It takes lots of time to register then u find there is nothing for u. :(

As we are still young, it is better to grab every opportunity that is given to us. Sacrifices are made for us to secure our selves for a better future.

I know what you mean.It seems like no matter how much my husband and I made it is just enough to get by. We both work hard every day but never seem to get ahead. I have started looking on the net to see if there are some ways to make extra cash. If anyone knows of any let me now.

NO, I'm not looking money. I'm already good to what I have, and to what mylot provides for my extra income.

If you all want to make money I can help you.. My group of network marketer help each other to make money... If one of you signs up under me and then the next person signed up under them and so forth.. You could be making money by May when the pay out is.. But we have to do it together to help each other out.. The cost to sign up is free but when we upgrade by April 20th to make money for May. Then its 40.00 to sign up and the monthly fee is 20.00 a month.. For everyone you sponsor you make 10.00 a month.. You will also make 4.00 a month from your personal downline that they recuit.. Your residual pay is calculated by taking the each active member in your downline and is paying you as follows: 5.00 each for your first two sign ups..2.50 for the next four people and then 1.00 each after that.. Any one in the worild can sign up if they have a credit card or they can use Solid Trust Pay proccesser to pay.. They are getting that ready for people to start to use it if they dont have a credit card.. It up to you.. no pressure.. good luck with your ventures...

It is definitely difficult to make enough money to keep up with all the bills and still have a little extra left over for ourselves. I work both a full time job and a part time job and I just recently joined mylot. I'm pretty new to the online method of making money, so I'm learning as I go!

That's very good!;) Well, I hope you enjoy here as much as I do. Many of us do tighten up our strings to keep up with our daily needs, maybe just to earn some extra income from home would also help..

if you want something that really works for a long time, i believe that you'd have to work hard for it. if you see offers that are just too good to be true, most likely, they're just that --- too good to be true. i've been searching the net for the perfect work-at-home opportunitiy for months now, and i could tell you that it hasn't been easy at all.

I think there are more easy way om earning money, or work-at-home opportunities. It's just that nobody are more eager to venture upon it. And when I say easy-money, it is an opportunity to earn fast. No matter how the amount is..

Yes we all need extra money, whatever we make it never seems to be enough especially with growing needs to more and more luxury items that seems to be necessities nowadays.. I think it would be great if we can make that extra money online, i made some money online before but it's never reliable and nothing lasted for long, mylot is good but it can't pay much..

There is really no easy way. You have to invest something always. Maybe it's your time, maybe it's your money. But what works for a lot of people is having multiple streas of income. You can do the work that you've been trained for at your day job (active income), participate in online income generating activities, or invest your money either in stocks, bonds or mutual funds (passive income).

Right.. There are lots of ways to earn money, if we just give it some time to think about and be prepared on it.

True that hard work is needed to earn money. But smart work brings in the profits. I am learning more on this issue. Looks like if I am to plan my business well, then it is much better and may bring more earnings.

I am a powerseller on ebay. I don't know if you would call that a job. I do. Sometimes it takes more than 40 hours in a week to do all of it. Other than that I couldn't label anything as income. Here in the USA $20 can not be considered income where in some countries it will feed a family for a weeks.

Yes money is always hard to get but I got some relatively easy money online.. still it would not pay much bills and also easy come may also easy go .. Other than current job I have nothing but minor things online like mylot and paid emails or HYIP sometimes, it makes some money but not much and you can never rely on it..

yes, you are right. we could not make any money easily , I think . though someone always say they can earn money easily . At least , I could not earn money easily . I always have to work hard to gain more money. and I just found to earn extra money on internet recently ,but it is still a hard way to earn extra money. Maybe I don't get the right way now. I will try to find some good website to earn extra moeny.

Nothing is easy, it is very hard to earn money,my current job is only enough for me to pay the bills or support my basic needs, I do not have much saving left every month. Honestly I do not have many ways to earn extra money , the only way I am doing is trying to earn a bit online, but it is even harder as the earning is so lo,no matter how hard i am wokring online ,i may only be able to earn 50 bucks. I will try to work harder..

It is extremely hard to earn extra money and it is hard to keep everything paid. My husband and I both work jobs outside the home and I do several things online to make extra money and it seems that we still struggle with everything that we do. It is not that we have a lot of luxuries either. We have just basic items for the most part.

Of course earning extra nowadays is really hard. We'll need alot of effort to get it. Definitely you're right, we can't find anything for free in this world. But if we're eager to earn extra, we can find alot of opportunities around. Right now I have a mini store and a reloading station. It helps me earn while looking for another job.
