Do you think you're earning enough online?

For me if you're earning less than $50 monthly online then it's not enough. Of course I consider online money making as another way to earn extra money or a sideline. At least you're earning would be enough even just as a payment for your electric and internet bills. So do you earn enough online?

$50? I'd be lucky if I got a dollar a month, let alone 50. No, I don't think I'm earning enough, but It's more of a hobby than actually paying for anything for me. But really, $50? How much time do you spend in front of the computer earning in that month? I can't imagine anything. I could spend two hours in front of the computer, and I might get 10c.

3 years ago i spent 3 months online 10 hours a day 7 times a week and only earn around $125. I think it's not enough but somehow I earned something. I joined ciao since during that time ciao pays $1 per review of any product or movie with 150 minimum words. Today I don't earn much since i'm kinda busy.

For me, even that $1 per review looks pleasing. Are you sure? Guaranteed? I might have a go at that. If you want me to be one of your referrals, (if applicable) then could you please supply a URL? Thank you!

unfortunately today ciao only pays members from UK. They don't pay international members now. That's why I stopped writing reviews there. you can still write a review but they won't pay you.

You earn $70 weekly only in odesk? How is that? I saw you blog and it's quite nice. I think you earn something in your blog too.

What do you mean by an impressive profile? If you earn $70 weekly at odesk then that sure is a good amount of money and may consider a source of income.

No. How I wish I could earn $75 every month. I do not have any job and that is why, I am so desperate. My father is going to retire this October, and my parents told me that they would take away the computer and the internet connection to save money. I didn't finish my course in college because I do not have an enrollment fee to pay for school. Even if there's a hope like Odesk.com, I still have this anxiety every time I visit this sites because based on my experience, the employer from Odesk choose only those people who are highly skilled and higly professional -- and their are lots of competitor on that sites -- well, I think, there's nothing I can do but to accept the fact that I would never get a job. I need a $75 to pay my internet bill.

me too... I still haven't reached that $50 mark monthly. I make around $35. some of it I spend for enjoyment and most I just keep. I'm waiting for it to accumulate so I can buy something big out of it. Maybe I'll also invest on some program but I'll have to do more research to make sure it works

@amitrwt, I will tell you the two ways that I win most money. The first one would be playing online poker, if you like the game, is a good way to win money without investment. You use the money that you win playing freerolls. The second way that I most win money is with my referrals, I used to have a site and I was able to get a good number of referrals, so, I win money from them when they play. So, creating a site or a blog about something that you like is a good idea, because you can affiliate to some site and win money from that.

Earning money online is not that easy. before you even try to join a certain site make sure you read a lot about it. keep searching about the reaction of their members. That's the secret there. hope it helps.

i earn no where near enough money online and i work my */!% butt off just to get paid hardly nothing in return. i work online every day trying to suppliment my income from my part time jog and i earn maybe $10 a month (if im lucky) it gets old really fast. im not trying to become a millionaire from working online but i would like to make enough to at least put gas in my car for the month. i feel so jipped when i spend my valuable time that i could be spending with my family and friends trying to earn a buck. something has got to give

You don't need to spend most of your time online. You better spend it with the one you love. If you find it hard to earn online then don't push your self.

Hi Jacruz, that will depend on the location of your residence, and the standard of living. i think for my case, if the amount is passive income, that means I get the $50 without doing anything, that is good enough. If I have to work very hard to earn just that amount, then it is definitely not enough. The standard of living in my country is very high. In fact, it tops one of the most expensive places in Asia.

No it is never enough working on line! Just what I think because I hardly make anything everyday some sites do pay well but the thing is it takes so long to get paid.

That's true most sites pay for couple of weeks or even months and some doesn't even pay at all.

Nope, I'm not earning that much. Maybe 25-30$ per month only. It depends, and I have a regular job 8hrs daily. So I don't have much time in my online earning sites. I hope I can earn 50 in a month.

at least you are earning something online. Some people really are good in making money online. And others even find it as a job already.

$50 is enough for me to settle the electric and internet bills~(^^) It depends on kinds of online job we are in. For those who have business which they make it through online concept they can earn more than that. For people who are into paid sites to earn $50 is a good amount actually~(^^)

For me I'm certainly not earning enough money online yet, but I'm working on it! I just found out about Squidoo about 2 months ago and I just joined myLot yesterday. I really do aim to make at least $100 per month, preferably even more. I'll be working on my articles at Squidoo daily and I'll be active here every day too, I hope I can earn some extra money online this way and get to that $100/month target of mine :).
