They don't have faith-they think that online earning is a myth. They don't spend adequate time. They don't work intelligently. They give up at one point of time They have been scammed by too many people online They expect instant results and when they don't get they lose hopes. Now what are your opinions mylotters?

Hi there,well I was about to give up on earning online but I didn't lose hope right away.Yes,I have been scammed by many sites wasted hundreds of bucks just to find out that the site is a big fake yet still I didn't give up. Instead I used this failure to strengthen my hopes in earning online.I put in my mind that I can't earn online in just a zap,it takes times,patience and hard work. Now,I have put up my own website invested just a little and earns just right.I do not seek in earning that much online just as long as the amount I earn is right ans is helping me with my living.

It seems like everyone that I have talked to personally, seems to think that it just isn't possible. I don't have a single friend, outside of the internet, who does what I do to make money online. I did have a young man, about 15, who wanted to try and wanted me to coach him. But his mom put a stopper on that right away. I have done decent through the years, and I know if I just keep working at it, that sooner or later I am going to be making a good living online. Fortunately for me, I have a couple of other things going right now. But I do need to make more than I am in order to keep from going into debt, as I have depleted my savings over the past 2 years after being laid off and not being able to find another job. Eventually, it will come!!!

Hi Vijay. I think this depends on how MUCH people want to earn online. There are a few success stories of bloggers and marketers earning six-figure incomes yearly, but those are the exception, not the rule. Anyone can earn something. But for most of us, it is in much much smaller amounts than what could be considered an entire income. All the reasons you've mentioned probably do play a role. I think lack of quality, lack of time and earnestness probably all play a role, too. Karen

yes, it is hard to earn money on the net. there are to many scams out there, if you are not careful enough, then you will be a victim of scam sites. Also, in order to earn from internet, there are lots and lots of efforts you need to put in. Do lots of research, do lots of posting in mylot. there is no shortcut way to get rich from internet. Above just my point of view.

To be honest, I don't expect much out of making money online, and most of my friends don't do it. We actually make quite a bit more at our day jobs, and you can't devote your entire life to making money.

well if you get good income from your day job, you can try this as a part time business until this business gives you more income.

If you yourself have been able to make money online, why don't just share with others how you did it and the sites that you used? This will make it very simple for others.

It is really hard to earn money online. But we need is patient to make the possibilities to earn good. We don't blame people in that perceptions. Because there are many unscrupulous person from the Internet, using it as bunch of cheating people to earn money. They are the greatest and unhonest person in the world today. They don't consider the feelings of others that really wanted to earn extra cash...but they glad if someone being victim of their evil acts... If I will ask you, my friend. It didn't hard for you to earn money online? Do you believe that earn money online is easy?

I think most people find it difficult because they don't want to put in any real effort. They want to make more than they do at a job, for 1/10th the effort, and that's not going to happen. You'll make less than a job for the same effort, at first. Then as time goes by, your earnings grow, and you can eventually earn more than a regular job. It takes time and effort. When I tell people I earn online, they think I'm lying and that I'm being scammed. They tell me, if you could actually earn money on the internet, then everybody would be doing it. I try to tell them, that if everybody thought like that, then nobody would do it, even if it worked. Also, because there are more scams and lies than there are good programs, it's hard for people who aren't already involved to know what's true and what isn't.

I can understand your difficulties in making people believe in internet business earnings. It is because most of the people have been scammed. It takes time to start earning. Before that they lose hopes.

Even i don't think making money online is a myth...I think most of them become bored and frustrated...they don't understand that making money online requires time and patience. Many are who expect instant results, like a payout everyday which is practically impossible.

i think they must have thinking that making money from internet is a funny thing.why?because they have realized the fact that almost all of making money from internet programs are some kind of "cheating" method.many people have lost alots of their money for joining such internet programs, bur what they have got after that?that's my opinion.

It is quite unfortunate that many people lose a lot of money on scam sites. But if they continue their effort, they will be able to make money.

I know that onlie earning is possible but it needs a lot of research, analysis of opportunities and final judicious selection.Nothing works overnight and everything needs diligence,continuing efforts, faith and optimism and hard work. If people are not aware of these facts they find it difficult and get disppointed.Desire without efforts and intelligent work may not yield results.

You have the point! In my life I never easily quit. Of course here there is always a scam site. But I see to it that there are also a legit. Thus I go only for proven and tested ones. Though in many cases after first payment the site from being legit turn to scam. Hence I made ready myself to join in some good sites and continue on it.

generally when one looks to earn online, aspirations run high. it might be safe to assume that more than 95% schemes are scams or ponzi schemes. so disappointment is but obvious. another factor is lack of credible source of information. so genuine options are also passed off as scams. this is the reason why free to join options have become popular. at most you lose efforts and time but eventually you hit upon a right opportunity. another factor is to balance your real life and net life. the more successful you are in real life, less time will be spent on net life. and the opposite might be also true.

Yes, you are sure of your income if you go for a job. This is not a sure income business if you can't afford to work for long periods until you get reasonable income.

Actually they at first think that they can earn a huge amount of money online. This is the problem and this is created by the fake earning program sites. After doing some work people find that earning online will not result in the huge amount they expected. As a result of this many people leave this option of income earning.
