Keep Me Motivated!

So basically my goal of trying to earn money online is to get my life started and pay for a house. I have enough money to put down, but probably wouldn't be able to keep up with all the monthly expenses. This is obviously something that is going to take time, given the fact that this is all new to me (online money). But I figure, I have to start somewhere. My first target is to reach at least $100 a month, and after that gradually increase it. I am sure it's not easy, but with enough research and dedication, it can probably be done. Working full-time, will probably make a little more difficult also. And, since I usually give up on things quickly, I figured I would post this on here so that I would be 'forced' to follow through with my plans and hopefully achieve my goals! Do you guys share any of the same goals? What about motivation/dedication...do you follow through, or give up early?

I have started writing articles for InfoBarrel.com. In my first month I won a competition for $100 Amazon voucher, just by writing plenty of articles. Your English is good enough, why not give it a go, I am Philtrate on Info Barrel. There is a forum, too, where everyone is very helpful towards each other. My own target is $500 a week, but it mighttake two years to reach that goal. I hope to be on $200 a month by Christmas.

500-600 articles? Where do your ideas come from ;)? Since I've researched this site, I've written three articles (I am planning to write at least 100 before joining/posting) and I am now lost. I'm guessing you just write about your hobbies and the topics you are most knowledgeable on. I guess now my goal is 3 or 4 articles a day, which would be about 90 to 120 articles a month. That seems like a reasonable amount, without discouraging myself ;) Good luck with your 500-600!!!

Wow, $200 a month would be pretty awesome just from one site. Once you get some other sites also, I am sure you could add to that total ;) I am not the best writer, but I will give it a shot! How many articles do you think it would take to reach that. I heard that with writing sites, you can make money each time someone views your article, too! I guess that way, if you have some popular articles, you can make money while you sleep ;) Good luck with that!

Why are you not finding a full time job? finding a full time job should be your first priority. Forget about earning money online. You won't really make much just with online earning.

I do have a full-time job. I have been working full-time for about 3 years as an accountant after graduating from college. I am now continuing my education to obtain my accounting designation. But, I would like to be able to have the extra money to put towards a house. That extra can't hurt, right? Plus, it would allow me to save so much more of my pay cheque! I don't know, to me it seems like a pretty good way to do it.

So you do have a full time job. That should be fine. If you want to earn extra money, set aside a sum of money for investing. I am sure you have saved up during these 3 years working full time. Go on the net, learn a thing or two about investing (wisely). Its way better than looking for online earning.

earning online is really a though one, much better if you find a job full time job is much more better, money making online make your hair turn to white before you obtain what you want to get.. ^^ better to refresh your mind then think what is the best thing you'll do... ^^

In my opinion your mindset to earn or make money online is absolutely right on. Slow and steady wins the race. Unfortunately, most people who are looking to earn or make money online want to earn the big bucks right away. When it doesn't happen they either move on to the next money making program or they quit. There are a ton of free money making sites out there, legitimate ones, where people can make some decent pocket change every month. You don't have to spend a penny out of your own pocket and it really requires little effort. You'd be surprised at how quickly that money adds up. Then it's time for the next step. Taking some of that money and invest it in other legitimate programs that let that money start working for you. Getting referrals also helps considerable because you then have others helping you as well. As you move up the ladder, it will take more effort, time and vigilance but it can be done without ever taking any money out of your own pocket. Find yourself a mentor who shares the same mindset as you in regards to earning or making money online and you'll be that much more ahead of the game.

I do, but it is because the first thing I decided on when I decided to try to make money online was to be patient, and give it time, so this is what I am doing. If you also have patience, and persistance, you will be able to do it! Just keep away from anything that sounds too good to be true, because it usually is!

Just keep setting goals for yourself. Find more sites to earn money from and keep using the ones that you know work for what you can do and just keep socking that money away, it'll pay off eventually.
