Do you seriously think that earning through internet like this could be called a real job?

I don't think earning through the internet in this way could be called a real job, unless you spend all day at your computer managing various programs and making at least $20 a day... not a very well paying job, but work just the same if you spent all day at it. You'd make more money with a paper route, which *is* classified as a "real" job -- part-time but real. I remember a news story a few months ago about Revenue Canada going after a pair of guys for unclaimed revenue from lottery winnings. For those who don't know, lottery winnings in Canada are not taxable, just any interest you might earn on the winnings is taxed. However, these guys were buying $200-300 worth of tickets EACH day! and obviously making some good winnings -- certainly enough to live on nicely, thank you. Revenue Canada contended that because they spent so much time at it, it was their job, and they should pay income tax on their "earnings". (Sorry, I can't remember who won this case.)

well yes it could be called a real job but the only difference is that you are working from home and dont have to travel

Well...it depends on how active you are, how many referals you have etc...If you have many websites going and you're relatively active, I definately think you can make a job out of it.

i dont think it is, but if you have that encyclopedic mind, you can definetely make mylot as a source of living and you have that virtue of patience, but for me this is just my way of killing my time and expressing my ideas on the discussion that are posted.

I don't really call mylot or anything on the internet yet as a job. It's more of a hobby of mine. The earning now is just extra that just adds spice to the flavorful of personalities that I get to meet here. If it's a job, I would be eating my computer by next month because the earning is just plain measly. What's important for me now is that I get to enjoy what I do and learn.
