Why so many people everywhere are looking for to make more money from the Internet?
In my opinion there is no place in the Internet that people can earn money as a real work.Maybe some cent's from ppc or something like this but not as a for sulery or to live from it.
What is your opinion about this?

Well since you asked, I do ok on the internet. I still work outside the home in Manhattan at times if I am covering a story. I am a writer so that is why the internet works for me. I am also a homebody so that helps.

I think you can earn from your art. I am not sure. As a writer, I am not making much money, the arts are a dieing paycheck.

Yes it is true that there is rarely real money through smalltime internet jobs. But there are some sites where one could take up a job that would pay them well. They key factor is that there won't be any shortcuts there. Nothing would be too easy. one will have to work hard and on a regular basis. And, if it pays really well, one could benefit from the luxury of working from home. No traffic, no extra expenses on formal dress and eating out.

some people are lazy and dont want a real job and some people are like me and cannot work due to health or maybe they are stay at home parents and so they are looking to earn anything they can any way they can to help out

oh yes i agree with you that you can not earn that much of money from internet but still what i feel is tangible amount of money can be made.
I know few people who are indulge in money making from internet and yes they earn substantial amount from it.what i feel is it is a art which require some expertise.
however i also dont know much about this but may be sharing experience here we can learn slowly.

In my opinion, or for myself, I am a full time mom and just need extra money for a rainy day, I know I am not going to make a million, but if I am going to spend my time online, why not get paid for it...and help myself grow a bit with learning new things and use my brain... since I get cartoons and coloring all day long...LOL
I hope that helps!!

Hello friend. I agree with you that it is not easy to make real money as salary that we get from working. What we can get online is just some small sum of money, some fun money on my side. lol

Hi as2006! I do agree with you. I can only make a few cents each day here but it sure add somehow in my budget. However, I do know that there are few people whom I knew that can really make money in the internet and I am happy for them. However, I am still trying to find my luck in the internet. lol..
Take care and have a great day!

I need to work from home and around my special needs kid's therapies. A day job just won't work out for me. It's hard enough to deal with things as it is. I can MyLot around the home things and at any hour.
Some people have no choice but to work from home and there isn't a whole lot out there for people (in the US) outside the home right now. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a great leap in the numbers on the Internet sites that pay.
I unfortunately see a rise in scams to so everyone should keep their caps on.

I think because some people have a problem to find job.I have to change my job and that is why I am looking for some internet jobs.I am only trying.But as far I know you are right,because I didnt find any job where you can really earn more than few cents per day.Maybe few people who are surfing on internet and are on ppc sites for ages can earn more but it is only few people.And second kind of people are people who work in the offices and are bored all day in work so this is only some extra money for them.

I think you are right, the only way to make a fortune on the internet is if you are dishonest and prepared to cheat other people out of their money. I have made a small amount from various survey sites but not enough to live on.

there are great ways to make money I earn my living from purely online (i am 33 y/o and live in the uk) and earn 4 times what I would earn working full time for someone else,
Tho there is a lot of scams out there but there is also alot of legitimate opportunities tho unfortunatly most people dont have the drive to make it happen as its alot of hard work to earn a full time living from the web but well worth it if you have the drive and stomach to make it happen.
good luck all and hope this downturn is not too bad for you !!!

I feel the reason so many people are going to the Internet is because there is not that much going on on the outside. plain and simple. I wish I can say it is not so, but there you have it. So folks come on here and try to make as much money as they can just to get something. I wouldn't call it real work myself. just trying to make a hustle if you may.

I cann't see how you can make a propper living, there wouldn't be enough hours in the day, even if you could work 24/7.
I know a lot of places you get paid for referals, but you's have to get tons to get a lot.
As I sell online auction sites, I just "pop in " here fron time to time.
I'm also on a couple of local sites ( Australai) but they pay very liitle and slow.
I cetainly couldn't live on anything I could make.
