Could someone please tell me ways by which people can make money online honestly

Does anyone know any honest, legitimate ways of making good money online? I'm a little tired of internet scams and sites that either have no intention of paying you or pay you peanuts compared to what you're worth. Is there an honest, legitimate way of earning around $105 per hour online without recruiting referrals, clicking on links or doing stuff to con other people of their time and money? Is there anything online that enables us to add value to an existing business and get compensated for it reasonably? It makes no sense slaving all day for a few cents. that won't make anyone a living.

$105 per hour?? Perhaps that's a typo, but if there was a site that paid a lot of money, I'd have to believe that many of the people who are trying to make $$ online would already be there (I know I would!) Almost all of the internet sites are marketing sites, which usually means to make a lot of $$ you need referrals...active referrals, trying to do the same thing you do. If you can build something like that, then after awhile, you could make more than $105 per hour. Making money on the net isn't easy...if it were everyone would be doing it (but please, if you do find a big money-maker, please, please ask me to be your referral!!) Have a great weekend!

Lol...this is true...if Bill Gates "only" made $105 per hour he'd probably throw himself off a tall building : )

The short answer is no - not by a long way can you earn that sort of money working for someone else on the net. If you work as a programmer then maybe you can work from home a lot of the time. For that sort of income you need to be the boss. You need to have your own popular website and earn a cent off ten thousand people an hour. But it takes time and effort - I know, even if I am not in that league I do make a few thousand a month from web sites that are 10 years old.

$105 per hour is lot of money. If I can earn that money monthly, I am happy. It's hard to look for online opportunity, specially if you are an international users. I think they are out there, we just have to keep looking. In the meantime, mylot is still a good opportunity to earn and make friends online.

I'm glad I saw your correction from $105 to $10. There are certainly legitimate sites that you can make money with on line, but I don't think that I could equate it to an hourly rate. If you enjoy writing there are a few sites that pay, but how much you earn depends on how much you put into it and sometimes it takes time to build enough of a readership to start earning some real money. One site that you could do really well on at the moment is Epinions.com. They are having a promotion right now. They are a product review site. The promotion is that for every 10 reviews you write they will pay you 10 dollars. For every 10 reviews that are rated Very Helpful you will earn an additional 10 dollars. On top of that you will earn income share as well, which no one knows the formula for so I can't tell how much you would earn with that, it depends on what kind of products you review. So if you could manage write 10 very helpful reviews in 2 hours you will have made $10.00 plus. You would have to do it in this month though because no one knows how long the promotion will go on for. They have been re-newing it for a few months, but it could stop at any time. Also you could write for Associated Content. They pay upfront for some articles, some they don't pay up front for, but weather or not you get paid up front you will still earn income when someone reads your articles. Average payment for articles that get paid for upfront is between $3.00 and $4.00. So if you can write three or four articles in an hour and they purchase all of them upfront you could make $10.00 +

Usually you have to have an army of active referrals to make that kind of money.

Using myLot, I'd be lucky to make $1 per day online! The problem with the internet is that the big fish make all the money by feeding off the bottom feeders like us.

I think I agree with you fully on this issue. Working on internet, signing up, searching for new sites , checking earnings regularly..all these make things a bit exciting. Working for money online in itself is a full time job in fact. Occasional surfing with a full time job on hand can never give one some additional money not even enough to buy some peanuts. But a winner from surfing especially from MyLot is the freedom of expression and the diluting of our nagging emotions through discussions.That's for sure a big benefit.

Hello bamby1983, There is no legitimate way to earn $105 dollars an hour online. That is asking for way too much but there are sites that have decent payouts. Try websties that pay you to complete offers and surveys. Be wary of any sites that appear to be scams however. Many sites pay very little money to more deserving users so you have to find which ones will pay you the most. Good luck

In my opinion, 105$ is not possible even though you work really hard, in group or with the good support. There is only one way, and of course you must take a big risk, is something like betting online or casino...
