Hello guys,
i'm confused and need advice. I'll be thankful if you can give me your opinion.
Last winter was good for me. I could earn a lot with my online job. That money was enough for me and my boyfriend to live normal (with his payments every month), not good, but normal. Now, in the summer i can't do so much. I don't have so much online job to do. This is why i thought that i can start some normal job, out of home, for less money, but the money will be sure every month. I just found one job, the payment is minimum for our bulgarian life, and i'll have to stay 8 hours every day for that minimum payment.
I know that in the winter i'll have a lot of online work again and i know that i'll earn really good again, but before the winter, we don't have chance to make more.
Now i don't know what to do. To start this minimum paid 8 hours work, and to work for extra money online in the nights or to stay home and to wait the winter again.
I need some social life too. For now, i stay home all the time and that make me depressed. I'm not sure what to choose...
What would you do?

You could try getting a full time job where you live for now. In the Winter, when your online opportunities are better, you could switch to part-time if that's okay with whoever hires you.

Oh hmm.. Maybe you could then apply somewhere else for a part-time job then? We do that where I live. In Summer we go find full time, then we find a part-time job when summer is over.

Thanks a lot for that advice. I'm still thinking about it and if i have to be honest, in the winter, i could do the same money only for 3-4 days with my online job. The same money i'll do in my out home job. So it's hard for me to decide. I'm not looking where i can work online, i have that work for now. It's just slow moment for earnings.

Aside from working on online jobs, you should also try working and building your own online business. Online job and online business are two different things. For your short term needs, an online job can help. But if you are looking for long term results, then you should consider yourself starting your own profitable internet business from home.

Thanks for your advices :)
I thought about online shop for presents, but my understanding for presents is little different than the other people think. I don't like snob's things, only refreshing memories and good friendships. So i thought to sell online really interesting things for gifting. Unfortunately online selling and buying is still doing it's first steps in Bulgaria, so may be in future i'll do it with pleasure.
Or may be some day i'll be sorry, that i didn't do it now, because someone else will steal my idea, i don't know. We got different sites, where you can buy things from. But the most important thing for me, in one present is the meaning ... never mind what is the present actually. I always make strange present, which make the people i love, to smile and enjoy and remember my gifts, so ... that's my wish my be for future.
My gifts usually are something childish, because i know we all love our childhood and may be most of us want to be back there.

Suggar,
Hello, and how are you? I am sort of in the same situation, except I don't make good money online. My husband works and I stay home but I find I can get a bit depressed because of it. I was thinking I need to get a job outside the home to make more money, and to come home and continue to make money online as well. However, I am not sure what to do either, especially since my husband and I were thinking of getting a place of our own with some friends, and we may be moving out of county to do so.
In any case, I know I need a job just because of the fact I mentioned above, we may be moving, probably later rather then sooner but the sooner I can get a job the better.
I think that maybe the best thing for the both of us to do is to get a part time or seasonal job and continue to earn online as well. The money we can spare we can put to savings. Now my husband and I do not yet have children so it's just us, but if you have a little one at home it might be easier said then it is done to go to work outside of the home.
Can you possibly do things for neighbors and friends as well? Things such as fetching groceries for them, doing the gardening, cleaning their homes, or tending to the lawn? If you can find work like this then you may be able to stay home and yet get out at the same time. You can work in your online earnings with offline earnings and never be far from home, but with the chance to get some fresh air and aquaint yourself with neighbors.
Good Luck.

Another seasonal job is retail, usually around Christmas they ask for people to come in and work only for a few months, I am not sure if they have places like that where you live. I hope you can find a way to make some more money during the winter months when you need it the most.

Hello Some Cowgirl :)
I can't do that kind of job here, if i start somewhere it will be with contract and so on things, which is not so good, because if i want to quit soon, first is that it will be bad for the future of that company, it will be hard to find new person and to learn him how to work the same. The second thing is that i have to wait 1 month, before they allow me to quit :) So i have to wait.
I know it will be good to go out a little. Too many months i'm only at home.

Okay, my situation right now is. I live with my parents(Can't move out and not moving out), they could provide me everything too. But I do not have a job, and earning money online is my only way to have money too. And it's not enough. I do not however ask for any money from my parents. SO I can't buy anything I like too. I have a job offer, still not 100% sure though, but it will start on October(hopefully I get it). So I guess we're almost in the same situation in the end. Getting that job or just staying at home.
Seriously, take the job! It's more stable than earning online. BUT don't give up on earning online. Because that could really help. Yes, it does sometimes require you full time, but take a look at it. You probably have days wherein you want something badly but can't buy it because you have bills to pay. Get the job, it's just for 8hours. Think about it like as if it's an online job just in a different place and your with other people.

For now my earnings are enough just for the bills and to survive. Nothing more. I'm worried, because the way i make money online takes time, really a lot of time, spent in conversations and writing. And this time i have to spend every day for 8 hours. I'm scared, that i'll use my online working, it could pay all my bills last winter.
I know that finding real job is stable and i'll be sure that i can pay my rent or some of the big bills i got sometimes here, but online working wins good for me. And ... the situation is ... just ... so-so.

I know it would be hard for you to adjust to a normal 8 hour day job since you are used to working at home at your own time. But according to you, you need the money you will be getting from this day job to be able to survive and make a living before winter comes, your peak season when it comes to making money online. Staying at home with nothing to do is really depressing especially if you do not have a companion to talk with or spend the day with. Adjusting to your day job may not be easy, but I guess you really have to do this sacrifice. It's just a few months of sacrifice for you. Who knows, you might even enjoy this new experience right?

The problem is that if i start now, i can't quit in 4 months, because i got online job. If i start, they will want serious attitude. They are looking for really serious person, who will work longer. That company produce washing products and now they want to open shops. If i start there i have to do my best to make one of their shops working good. It's not easy, when some place is new. Finding clients and making this shop popular, so more people can be clients there is something really hard. I got really good experience as seller of different kind of things and i'm sure i know how to do this job. The problem in my country is that with one minimum or normal payment here, you can only survive, you can't live, for now. Payments are too little, prices are too expensive. With that 150$i can't pay nothing. For the last summer month, we have bill for electricity, which is 100$. So this work is not so good opportunity, if they will pay me minimum money for month and will use 8 or more hours in my days. And yes, that money will be sure every month, but if they can't pay some of our bill, i'll only loose my time.
I don't live alone, with my boyfriend, but we always stay home. That's really hard. Online life only is not good enough for me. I like it, but i need some fresh air and nature around, for my full happiness.

Till i read the message ,I din't know one can make this much money from online.I usually use earnings from these sites for outings with my friends.Its usually less than 40$.I am actually looking for some work outside.But in your case where you can make one month salary in 3-4 days online job, you should concentrate in online stuffs.Also,i am glad to know how you are making this much money online..

Suggar,
First off I work a full time job as well out of the home, but I also try and keep up with some of my online work too. It is difficult but, because of the way my online work is, I have enough freedom where I can take a day off, so when I am off work with my normal full time job out of the home, I sometimes take the full day and I won't do any work online either. If the job you have out of the home is a full 8 hours, you might want to see if during the winter months if they can cut your shift down to say only working 4 or 6 hours a day, that way, you can have the extra time that you may need to work online at home. That way, when the online workload slows down again, you will have something in place for that you know you can still earn money at. Talk with your employer to see if they would be willing to do this for you. It never hurts to ask.
I am curious, what kind of online work do you do? I have been looking for additional work where I can make a better living online? If you don't mind me asking, it would help me to take care of other expenses that I have for my children.
I do a lot of online writing, but it doesn't make much money. I need to find other work so that I can take care of my children.
Good luck!
