Ya I have suffered loses after I have been into these earning money programs. Earlier I was good in studies but now I have addicted to internet so much that I am unable to concentrate for just 1hour. My parents have also started scolding not to waste so much time on computer as it can spoil my life. Not even this it has affected my health also. I search for new earning opportunities daily wasting hours in it. But the truth is I have earned just 40-40$ after wasting so many months. Have you been affected in your social relations or other jobs that you were good in earlier but now you have lost. I have also tried to take only 1-2hour daily for it but after I sit on computer I get up after 4-5hours. I daily take many resolute to be limited from the next day but everything fails :(

Management then needs to bro! Looking for extra money never hurts, but balanced with adequate rest periods, not because the money that is not how we got the loss for medical expenses due to illness. Get plenty of rest and regular meals managemet better time is the key. may be useful.

Yes I am also addicted to earning money online. I have observed my work is starting getting hampered due to this. And the sad part is that I have not earned anything great till date. Still trying a few things and hopefully they will work out. And also trying to balance it with my work which is my main source of income.

You should focus on your studies first. I am a bit addicted on online earnings too since I started 3 months ago. But I am doing much better now. And I know it is really worth it! But only if it doesn't harm ourselves. I am not studying anymore so I can focus on earnings.

I was guilty of doing the same thing when I first started working online and it wasn’t until it impacted negatively on my life because I was not spending adequate time with my family that I realised to balance my life more carefully. First I had to accept that I wasn’t going to make a fortune online especially if I was not prepared to invest a great amount of money. Once I decided that online work was great for pocket money only I could limit my time here. It is all a matter of good balance in life. Don’t forget your loved ones!

I don't say am addicted to earn money online. I called this a passion and a jobs. Addicted is not bring good to every person and doing things online which is worth is not a kind of addicting.

yes, i am pretty addicted to earning money online but it's because I AM making money and the money I get, goes to my daughter's account. I love getting free things too and hey, it's not so bad for me that I spend a lot of time on the computer when you get free things and free money. i have over 30 sites that pay and have been finding more. if interested, let me know so i can send u some sites that pay.

No I am not addicted of online earning but I always like to work on mylot because I know it is a very good online earning site and also very trusted sites than other site. So always I like to work on this site. And now I am habitual of this site because now I am one year old member of this site. And when I joined this site before one year then I feel some boring because then I was a newbie on this site but when I started work here then I know the value of this site and now I love this site and also it is my favorite site now.

Bro but the thing is how much you are getting in return for the large amount of time you spent on it. It affects health and many other problems as well as i have noticed.

Earning money online could really become addicting. That's the reason we always have to put limitations on it. We have life outside- the real life. If spending hours and hours online is having negative impacts on that part of our life it means something is going on wrong. That's why we need redirection. I also earn a little online through myLot and online selling. However, I don't spend most of my time online. My main ways of earning income is still through a regular job. You need to have control of you life and focus. You're capable of doing that. You just have o start doing it. Have a nice day!

I am also a bit addicted now. I find it difficult to find time for studying after i finish my work in the net. I think i have to work now to reduce my hours in net. I think i am not getting sufficient benefit for my time spend in net.I have not yet received a single payment from any where yet. But it is only 2 month i started doing this. I also experienced many times what you said. It is better to first study and after u finished this much portion go to the computer. After all i think study is more important in life. If we study well and get a job,that is god. It will take years for us to make the money we get a month from job,if we we work in internet.

I would have to say I think that I am. I get aggrevaited with it but when it comes time for getting gifts for the holidays I am very happy about how much I save by doing it. What a cool little hobby. I use to be worse about it. Always being on the computer. You need to find a balance. There is still a world out there you should be an active part of.

I am addicted to TRYING to make money online and constantly looking for new opportunities. I need to just focus a few certain ones, get them down pat then add others if needed. I think I would actually make more money if I did that.

I am addicted too, but you can't let it effect the important things in life that have to get done. I once spent 8 or more hrs on mylot alone! I got up at 8 every morning and I stayed up till 5 every morning. I typed so many responses and if I ran out of responses to write I started posting my own stuff. Not to mention all the other piddly earning sites I was part of. It was sill how much time I wasted! In the end I had 30 dollars for all that work at the end of only a month. I was down about it but tried to up my game. Then I lost my internet connection and I had to start finding other things take up my time. I started going to college. I was getting really good grades. Then I got the internet back, but I was afraid to get on it because I didn't want to lose those grades. I started out with only one site and I wouldn't get on there unless I was done with my schoolwork. Little by little I have gotten some of my other sites back, but I refuse to put in the kind of time and effort I used to put into them. For mylot I only respond to the digest posts and I don't bend over backwards trying to get them all done. Whenever I make cash out is when I will make cash out. No worries, I have other stuff to worry about too. This is just extra.

Good that you atleast made to 40 $. I inspite of wasting so much time for 2 years did not even earn a penny :D. It is now that I am understanding my mistakes and trying to overcome them. I would advice you to concentrate more on your studies and not spoil your life sitting on the internet. Rather trying going out and involve in physical activities for an hour or two daily. Make a clear time table which should give enough priority to studies and physical activities and after that you can save an hour or 2 for internet activities. Be sure to use limited legitimate sites to earn than jumping for 1000 sites as you will be standing nowhere at the end of the day then :). Hope This helps :) Wish you good luck ahead brada :)
