How Well Does Your Online earnings Help You Out?

So many people say you can't earn enough cash to even matter at ptc or gpt sites. I hear it all the time but they are so very wrong. I am having 20 some people to my house for easter dinner this year and my earnings from these sites are paying for everything! This dinner includes turkey, ham and all the fixings so you can imagine how much it costs. That is money I would be taking out of my off line paycheck. And I still have cash left over how can you beat that! How do your earnings help you out? Do you use them to buy things for yourself or do you use them to entertain friends and family. I love entertaining, and wouldn't be able to do very much of it without my sites. So don't ever listen to the people that tell you it's a big waste of time. You may not get rich but it will give you the extras you enjoy in life. I hope everyone responds with happy stories to tell.

I don't work outside the home. This IS my job and I have been doing it for 10 plus years. So my money goes for regular stuff...household bills...unexpected purchases....treats for the family (Sunday is brunch and a movie)...and I try to put a little away for rainy days.

They've been helping me out more and more the longer that I attempt to earn online. I've been doing work online for about a year and a half now and I am finally starting to make a fairly decent amount each month. My bank account has benefited from my attempts at online earning and I've also been able to purchase upgrades to try and be able to earn even more in the future. Online earning is a great opportunity that I wish more people knew about.

I wish everyone knew about it too. I think more people know then what we think but are just too afraid to try. Perhaps they've had a bad experience and just given up. I feel bad for them if that's the problem because there are so many good sites that they will never experience.

I agree a lot of people that don't have a lot of money could be helped out a lot if they joined some of the great earning websites out there. All it takes is a little hard work.

Wow, that's good to hear! Well, to be honest, I haven't earned that much because I am still a beginner. My online earning doesn't help at all (yet!) . I currently do it 100% for fun. I am getting serious to it, though and hope that my earning will help me a lot to buy a new house! Sounds unrealistic? I know, but who cares LOL

Unrealistic? You're right who cares! Even if it doesn't help buy the new house I guarentee it will help buy things FOR the new house. Stick with it, get serious, it's the only way that you're going to earn the cash. I tell everyone it's my second job!

may be you are a lucky one. but i have not found any website except mylot who could pay me out. i really work for many sites but at last either my amount got vanished or the site got closed or even they refuse to pay due to some reason. but i found mylot which really have paid me many times and i really appreciate ,

I guess i am lucky but it took 3 years of narrowing down the god from the bad to get there. I too have gone through the sites that shut down or just never paid me. I feel like I've finally found the one's that will stick around. They always pay me. some may take me longer to reach cash out then others but it's all worth it. I always knew that when I got a computer I was going to find a way to earn extra money with it and I have. At least you have Mylot and they have never failed anyone.

I don't know is this will be a success story because it has yet to come true. You see, my son is asking me to buy him a PSP. He has been bugging me for it for a couple months already. The unit cost around ten thousand pesos or around 200 hundred dollars more or less. Of course 200 hundred dollars in the Philippines is already more than the average take home pay. But I happened to be a member of website that give gifts for free and PSP is one of them. I already accumulated more than enough points for that free gift. My plan is get that PSP and give it to him as a surprise. This may not be that much, but the happiness it would bring to my kid would be priceless. And the good thing is i don't get to pay a dime for it.

That is wonderful! I know your son will be jumping for joy. And to know that not a dime had to come out of pocket, how great is that.

I have some sites that with some work you could get to the 13.00 a month. I started slow and then worked at getting referrals and made sure I went on line every day. No one gets something for nothing but if you're interested add me as your friend and I'll message you.

Wow, I can't beat that. That's great that your online earnings can help you put food on the table. For me, I only save up my online earnings. I have considered using it for going on a trip or something but so far it's still just going to the bank. I hope you earn yourself a dinner again soon

What I earn online is definitely not much but it is of great help. With my online earnings I manage to pay my phone and internet bill, pay for gas, pay for my awful smoking addiction and I even have money to go out. So it actually covers all my basic expenses. It would be nice to earn more, but even this is a lot more than I expected when I started.

I think that online earning can definitely be a good source of help although the money in my case doesn't amount to much. I main source of earning online comes from My Lot and that's it. I have articles published on websites such as Helium but it's very difficult to make any money there. So, I guess I'm relying on My Lot and any income that I earn from here. I'm trying to keep the money in paypal and I'm just saving it I guess which is a good idea. I would love to spend more time on My Lot but I guess it can be difficult at times. Andrew

Saving is always a good thing. My problem is I always have something I'm saving for, lol. The best part is even though I always spend some of my earnings on holiday get togethers (they're always at my house) I still end up with money left and them at Christmas I go shopping. Now by the time Christmas is over there usually is nothing left so I'm starting the cycle again.

I was making anywhere from 200$ to 500$ online a month. Now since going to school online college that is I am making about 100$ a month. I plan to start really beefing up the earnings again because even though I am getting money from school I do not have a job outside of my house and could use the extra 200$ to 500$ a month again. I did many things online to make that income and have not had the time to do so. My plan is to start writing more with my freelancing which is where I made the most money. That is great that you are making enough to pay for Easter. For me I wish I could this time around but I doubt it. I hope that I can reach the payout on a few of my sites this month so I can have some extra money next month. Thanks for sharing this discussion.

I'm sorry that you won't be getting paid this month but look on the bright side. The next big one, at least for me is the 4th of July. maybe you can save your money up for that and invite all your friends for a huge cook out!

My online earnings help me to sustain some of my vanity in life like lipstick, kikay things, blouses and other accessories. It is really a great relief having online earnings, at least I don't have to get the budget from my salary, so I can save really a lot.

Online earnings give me a buffer to my day-job earnings. It's nice to know that I have a separate small pot of online income that I can use to treat myself, or just put it away in savings if I don't need to use it. The pot is growing slowly but surely, but I don't expect to get rich from it. It's a pleasure in its own small way without having to be a fortune!

I think having that little extra always gives us a little more security. And even though it does take time to build it's so worth it.

I really think that you are absolutely right. We can earn enough money for ourselves if we visit such sites daily. For example, if we take mylot itself, and visit this site daily or atleast alternative days, and post many comments, then we surely can earn a lot of money. Actually I didn't buy anything from the money I earned from here but I can say from my experience till now in mylot that we can earn alot of money from these sites. Yes, I also agree that we won't become rich but the money will be enough to spend in our daily life.Enjoy!

It hasn't helped me out in terms of buying or paying for anything. Sometime last year, I opened up a savings acount where all my online earnings go. It is still not that much, but it is already a significant account. I guess to answer your question, this savings account has helped me buy a little peace of mind. That there is a little bit of money I can get to, if I really need it.

I deposit my earnings at my bank account to save for future references in case there's an emergency.
