Many people come online with the notion that they could earn big money and earn thousands of bucks. Many , however are depressed and disappointed when they discover that only few make it big and majority earn only a few dollars not even enough for a month's expenses. What about you? Are you among those who made it big? or are you one the many who did not? You're insights are most welcome.

You can only earn big if you using internet to sell your product or service. Or if you have a good website. Beside these I don't think you can earn 'big' money. But my personal experience says if you try then you can earn significant amount for sure.

When you sell stuff or sell stuff for other people as an affiliate in a hungry market you can surely earn a few thousands a day, absolutely. The problem however lies in the absolute necessity to have some money to invest. Successful affiliates have a few sites with hosting and domains. Domain comes at just a few, hosting can already come at 1 dollar per month, but that's not it, you also need a mailing list in order to reach costumers. Aweber, the best mailing solution out there, comes at 19 dollars per month and offers a mailing list capacity of up to 500 people, up to 2.500 people costs an extra 10 dollars. Another popular method is ewhoring, it's basically telling people: If you subscribe for this and that adult site ( with commissions of course...) I'll show you my boobs and stuff... if you want to expand this stuff you need to start posting on craigslist/gumtree and use aweber as mailing solution... BUT... newbies can mail manually or use a free mailing solution which comes at the convenient price of zero dollars and zero cents... Hopefully I've inspired people.

I don't earn a lot online but at least I'm getting something. Maybe because I really don't spend that much time online like other people. I'm guessing those people who earns a lot spends most of their waking hours in front of the computer, searching for/learning new things, and actually have a good grasp of how online jobs/business works.

This Statement is 100% not true. the reason so many think this is there are so many programs designed to take your money and not designed to make you money. But here is the good news there is legit work from home jobs out there you just have to know were to look. I worked for a company online for several months called the west at home corp. as I am a customer service agent. Activating pre-payed cell phones. Ever heard of the go phones. and I made over $500 every 2 weeks. look up west corp for yourself. anyone else looking for real legit work from home jobs please send me a message.

I haven't made big money. I'm not too disappointed though - I think I read someone said: it takes ten years to make an overnight success. I'm willing to wait and keep working hard.

When it is all said and done I make about $150-200 a month on the internet. It is not alot but is extra money that does come in handy and keeps from being bored. My husband goes to work everyday and even though I bring home a monthly check I feel that this extra money makes me feel like I am contributing to the income of the house in a working fashion instead of just getting a check. Trust me no one wants to go through what I had to get a check and I am sure there are alot of you out there that have horrible stories on why they are drawing also?

No that is not earned on mylot.... I have not cashed out one time on mylot.... I just enjoy mylot and the people I get to meet..... Mylotters atleast all the ones I have commented with have been very nice people and I like meeting new people..... E-mail me at hagirl07@yahoo.com These are not referrel links so I am not making anything off of this by letting you know but I like it when people make money and it took me awhile to get this far and I hope to get farther in time. Just make sure you still keep mylot also.... It takes awhile to cash out on mylot but it is well worth it.... Like I said I have met some very nice people from different cultures, religions, countries and all other walks of life..... I have also learned some of my tricks through mylot..... Everyone likes to make extra money and they all like for you to achieve.... You can make money without investing your own money.... It can be done because I sure did not have money to invest.

I want to earn some money online,but I don't want to earn more money to live by earning money online. I think earning money online is an enjoyment in my spare time. If no money on the MYLOT ,I also like it.

It's hard to earn more money online.Most of us must have a job in the real world.And on the internet,we can make friends with many other countries who have the similar point with us.

I haven't tried to make it big on the internet...in no way shape or form. I really think it would take much longer to make it on the internet then to get a job....

Yeah, the purpose of all this online money making stuff doesn't seem to be to get rich, but simply to make a little extra cash.

I can say that making money online is not a myth, my friend. This is my views I don't know about the others. Because if this is a myth people don't make money and no one get some or more... I make only a little money but this is enough for me. At least I make some than nothing, right? I'm not disappointed in making money online because I know that making money online is not just easy but need takes times and patient to make some...have a nice day!

Granted, it took a couple months, but I figured that this online income would likely as not remain a hobby moreso than an income..No doubt, it can be done and can be done honestly, as with any storefront (with a worldwide main street of window shoppers). Unfortunately, most folks don't want to get involved in something that takes time to build..OK, we're lazy and get too easily drawn to the 'get rich quick' kinda stuff. But tho lazy, most folks aren't so dishonest as the scammers and fail to get such fantastic results because of that lack..enjoy!

Make a small percentage of people who already enjoy a large income from online business is may not be a mhyt. but for most people in this world is still not much to know, understand and use the internet, a large income throught online business is a myth. More real offline business and its benefits can be felt immediately, while the online business is a dream come sometime. But day by day, more and more internet use, especially in developing countries. Thus a large income for most people getting closer to reality.

Like anything, it's definitely possible to make some cash online, but it truly depends on how much time you really invest into it. I can't say I've made millions, but I have made some additional cash doing it. The best way to think of it is that working online actually makes it possible to earn money consistently. When you're off work, out of class, or simply have nothing to do, why not make a few extra bucks?

There are a lot of hype about earning money online. Specially online marketing. I know of a lot of people who aren't doing great in that area. I mean, there are marketers and there are not. There are farmers and there are lawyers. Not everyone can market much. And to think that most of the products you market online have too much fluff and hype. I've earned my share of big bucks online with web design and development but never in online marketing. Cheers!

Here are some facts that I have researched over the years. Yes people are making big money online, but only by taking advantage of others. Some are charging for programs to make money...... Fact....You send them money and they send you the directions of how to send others the same scam you just payed for. OR You pay money for the membership which you buy travel tickets so you can go to a seninar and get taken in again to sell more travel packages to someone else the same way. OR They get you to join a membership for say $100, then after you give them your banking info they sell your info to others to steal money from your account on a monthly basis or worse, by draining your account, and since they are from out of the country, you can't even get your money back, and it does not matter if you demand them to return your money and stop their charges, they will just keep charging your account until you close it. And don't count on sites like this, by the time you make payout your 80 years old.

I only earn few bucks online but I believe that earning big bucks is really possible as long as you have a lot of patience on getting referrals because as we all know they are the big help in earning more in paying sites.

It's hard to say yes or no.Yes, because many of us feel disapointed,give-up to make huge money online( including me...he..he..he).No, because several people succeed to make money online and become millionaire like Ewin Chia.Actually, we don't have proper knowledge and skill to make money online.We should have personal coaching to make it true but it's take a lot of money.

NO no its not a myth its real thou it depends on what online thing you have joined. you may get disappointed when your expectation to earn big bucks are reduced to not . what i have come to realise is that some online sites may just as well be to flashy to promise big rewards yet the reality is they should be more practical to give logical margins for gains...
