What's the best way to earn money? 1.) Get a high paying job? 2.)Own a successful business? 3.)Invest your money on stocks, real estate 4.) Rob a bank and get away with it? 5.)Mylot.com I want to know what people do in order to earn money. Personally, I have tried investing my money in stocks and so far, the return on investment was really good (20%) I also signed up for MaryKay, a cosmetics and skin care company, and mylot.com How about you guys? Please feel free to post your styles on earning money and why do u think, if ever, is it the best way to earn money?

for me rob the bank and run faster joke hehe seriously for me a high paying job thats the sure and no risk of losing money but ofcourse we should work hard and we should love the work what we do and own a small business as a sideline:-)

the most sure way of earning a money is to have a job. But the downside of it is that you don't have control on how much you earn and your time. You're stuck with earning the amount of your salary. That makes having your own business have it's advantage. You're not stuck on a single amount and you have control over your own time. But the risk of it is that your income is not stable

Hi jayjose!! I totally agree. The problem with having a job is that you get stuck with it but at least you've got steady income. In business you're your own boss but then the risks are high. Hey hsve you read Robert Kiyosaki's rich dad poor dad? I read that book and i've learned how to manage my money and earning with it.

The best say is to get a high paying job. You can use mylot to earn some extra income. Try using a program where they pay you to search. Check it out in my profile page.

I would say that college would be the best investment towards a good paying job, and a good income.

Hi cloudage. Sorry to sound disagreeing but then I sometimes wonder why the richest men and influential people on earth never got College Degrees like Bill Gates, Henry Sy (billionaire) and Jackie Chan, Nelson Mandela etc... I'm not against education since i myself am in college. But don't u think that college or degrees are not that much of an investment?

As based on my experience, the best way to earn money is trough investments. But at the moment, these things are a bit on hold since the stock market crashed. Will you believe me if i told you that I earned as much as 20% per annum? For me, the best way to invest your money is to place it in a cooperative.

i invest also my money on stocks online for a year now and so far, i really am satisfied with the results. as of now, i am studying to one day take an exam on sweden's licensure for pharmacists. so, a year or two years from now, i will be working here in sweden and will be earning money. i had been in mylot for more than a year and i am glad i found this site.. mylot can never make me rich but the earnings i got here had gone a long way and had helped me a lot. and robbing a bank is never a right way to earn money. wrong ways of earning money will never be acceptable for me. for as long as you are happy with what you are doing, the way you earn your money, you are doing the right thing.

Haha. I placed the fourth one as a joke lol. and to see how people would react. Anyway, I haven't collected my earnings from this site but I think it's a credible site that does pay money. So just as u said, as long as I feel i'm happy with what i'm doing then i'm doing the right thing.

Work hard, spend little and save much. As you are working, keep thinking and learning. The benefit may also come from working smarter, not harder. djbtol

HEy djbtol. That's so funny coz just yesterday for my Nursing Leadership and Management Lecture, I got hold of that "work smarter, not harder" thing. Well since it came from you I guess it's time for me to formulate how to do it and earn money. Thanks.

The most secure way of making money is to earn it via a job. If not that then there are thousands of sites out there such as myLot where you can earn tiny amounts of money for a lot of 'work'. There are then other options open to everyday people where you can earn money online but that require a little investment to gain the knowledge needed. I for one have a few online ventures going and also make moeny from betfair trading. For some information on home based businesses please do feel free to check out my website www.homebizhelp.co.uk

Hey!! I'll check out the link you posted thanks. Well I was just thinking that taxes are kinda high but at least having a stable job also gives you stable income. Mylot is my first online venture as well coz i think this isn't scam. But hey i'm still open to many more money-making opportunities.

The best way to earn money without any risk of loss of money is through freelancing. If you are good at any particular job, then you can freelance that work and make good money. Investment is also good but you need to have extra money to invest. If you are good in business then it is good way to make money but for that you need investments and funds to start with. Last but not the least, if you are well qualified, then high paying jobs are the best.

Hi lavenderbloom Like babiixgiirl you also mentioned freelance work. Well at the moment it's kind of hard since i'll be graduating soon to be a nurse. Hehehe I don't have a degree in business but i'm a member of AIESEC which somehow trains you to be business minded. I apply all that I've learned in my MaryKay business as well which is doing fair in a way. Yes, I agree that you do need money when you decide to invest. Lol so here i am on mylot scraping for some answers and opinions. But thanks for your opinion dear.

Number four seems to be the easiest way to get alot of money in a short amount of time if one can get away with it. The others requires alot more effort than number four.

for a good looking lass like yourself you,ve got to use the "act as if concept" first youve got to find places where the very rich and wealthy people hang out.2nd youve got to "act as if your rich"and go to these places and mingle in with these people.watch them,learn their interests,study them and get all the info you need to form good relation ships.use 3 or 4 of these places on different days."act as if your rich" you will become rich.the way it usually go's is you'll meet a rich man of your dreams marry him and do some gold digging.or you might get good job offers but dont jump straight in like your desperate,act like your rich.and when i say look for rich people i mean really rich people.look on the net find out where they go.do this and money will follow and the effort is nothing to what money you will come accross.thats what ide do if i was lookng.

HEY WOah~!! Your suggestion really made me think a lot. First thanks for the compliment on my looks lol. So, the "act as if concept" seems fun. If ever I do try it, I guess I have to start with carrying myself in social situations where rich people are involved. But I see the logic of mingling with rich people who really know how to speak "money". As for the job........Aaah I sorta remembered that taxes are really higher these days . Hey what's with me marrying a rich guy lol?! I don't think so... I'm known in my hometown as a strong independent girl who never was impressed with a guy's money. Nah, just a principle. But hey leeb75 I will surely try out the "act as if concept" and tell you how it went.

Hi angel. I don't think you can get rich doin mylot haha. I invest in the stock market too. I agree the returns can be pretty good if you play it well. So my personal strategy is get a job, save what you earn, then multiply it by playing the stock market wisely. Best of luck to you.

I think the best way to earn money is probably through a job, I would say working freelance would probably be the best option, but there are many different things to try, and I'm sure we'll never run out of options! I'd love to do Mary Kay, but you can't do it from the UK, I'm afraid, otherwise I definetly would! Good luck with that!
• Philippines
18 Nov 07
I see. Well I guess working freelance is an option. But in my country, working freelance has a lot of risks and it isn't stable. But I'm open to your suggestions and Well MaryKay does give me extra pocket money but it isn't really that much. But hey~!!!! Earning a little extra is better than earning Nada at all!
