Is making money online really worth the time?

I have seen the success stories online, read the testimonials, and all of these people seem to be making 100 times the amount that I see being made through the online money making world... Is it really worth it to invest time online to basically pinch a few extra pennies? I want to know if it really does go up from here..

I never make enough to pay even for the electricity it takes to power my computer. If you do please let me know how? Please? Welcome to my Lot!

I think you should never quit your job and you should never assume that you're going to make a lot of money online. What you should do is be patient, and gradually start making money online. Some manage to make significant amounts after one year, others after 5 years, others never really manage to make significant income. So I would say that in order to make money online you should: 1- think of it as a hobby rather than a real full time job 2-be patient but consistent. Use as much free time as you can making money online and it will eventually pay off^^

I think it is for some people. The more time you put in to your work you will get rewarded and sometimes it seems like very little but I see it as something is better than nothing and small pennies do add up! If you are really dedicated to the time you put in you will eventually earn more and more! Have a good day and Good Luck in your earning areas online they are many ways to earn on line even though some can be a it boring at times it is well worth it.

It's worth the time when you stick to one method and work on it, instead of jumping from one to another without making any dime. I'd been working online for five years now and I am successful, Yes! I was scammed before when I am starting but I am making more now so It was just a history :) Just avoid those get rich quick scheme or something that too good to be true. Goodluck!

i dont know chris^^ i guess that some sites really work. like for example if you have a movies site or a blog with movies of many countries for example it can be a good success^^ but for that you need to have a fast internet connection and also some people to help you^^ if you work alone in a blog with many movies and do all by yourself is very hard. you can try to make a blog about something that you are good at^^ for example if you draw well put your drawings and if are good am sure many people will see it^^ if you write good poems or stories write and im sure people will visit it^^ friends that you have online^^ you can ask them im sure they wont mind to check that out :)

I think its worth the time but only if you have quite abit of time to use and are unable to go out and work because obviously that pays better, but mylot is a good post to earn site because its pays alot better than some others an has nice people on it to make friends with so its not all about earning, because that would be boring.

Well I've been working full time online since March of this year and I could say that it's not really that bad, but it's not really that good either, sometimes it can really be unstable. However, it is certainly worth the time because I can now support myself mainly through my online work. I am now happy working from home because I do not have to leave my house to go to any place else. I can go on breaks any time I want, work as early or as late as I can and nobody hounds me behind my back. I am my own boss and it really feels good compared to having been employed in a private firm previously.

Oh, that really depends. Some people are rather greedy I think and won't do anything unless it pays really well. I certainly do not think earning online is for people like that, because it does not pay insanely well in most cases (although there are exceptions of course). Also, another thing you need to be aware of is that it takes a lot of hard work in order to be able to earn online, and it takes time to make any good money off the internet. So it is really not something you can do from one day to the other.

Well basically it probably isn't for the majority of the users who try but it is time consuming so it makes you feel like your doing something or kill time when your bored. Users will go on the net and play games and watch movies and listen to music for hours so why not take a different route and earn a little bit of free cash instead of just wasting time is the way I look at it. Its not easy to earn let alone earn a decent amount but if you can find something that works for you and get creative you can turn pennies into dollars very quickly.

hi friend... I know many people who are making online.I dont say frankly its worth to spend online only for earning money. But for the purpose of pocketmoney and as a hobby u can keep online earning. However if you want to earn seriously its pretty hard at only and rather u can try some where else and i think its worth time but you should take extreme care and must be hardworking to make a good amount of money....
