Do you have a regular job?

A tuning shop? Is that musical or cars? It sounds as though you enjoy it!

It doesn't seem to happen very quickly at first but keep looking at the ideas that get posted here. Many are not worthwhile but some are good. Try to build up referrals - that is the way that most of these things work.

That sounds encouraging! It obviously seems to you that it is possible to make a reasonable amount online.

'Just' being a student is nothing to be ashamed of! Hopefully, when you qualify, you will see the reward for your studies. In the mean time, I believe that you are doing fairly well from MyLot and, perhaps, other online sites.

It's good to have many strings to your bow (or should that be 'harp'?) One can, perhaps, begin to make music!

I agree that things like online surveys and so on pay very little for the time involved. At least they pay something - perhaps enough to justify having an Internet connection in the first place!

I agree. I'm retired but if it helps to pay my Broadband connection, then that is good!

Single word answers don't contribute much to a discussion and won't earn you many cents on MyLot! Please try to make useful and descriptive posts! Thank you for expending the effort to type three letters, however!

I agree one should have many irons in the fire. MyLot on its own is fun - the extra it brings in may help pay for my Internet connection.

Without the help of referrals, you can never expect to make more than pin money out of any site like this. Every little helps, though. 1. Respond in posts not comments. 2.

It seems that it needs 3 or 4 hours concentrated (but fairly pleasant) work on here a day to see anything worthwhile. As with anything, there are some fairly obvious things which one should do to make the best of it. Making the most efficient use of the time is one of them.

You have a very important job, then, and one which a lot of people don't recognise as such! I hope your husband is FULLY appreciative of the amount of work you do to make sure that your kids grow up to be people that not only you but many people can be proud of! MyLot on its own may just bring in a trickle but it is a great way of making friends and contacts. I think that is probably its real potential - and if one gets paid a little to do that, that is a bonus! +
