Making Money Online?

United States
February 25, 2012 8:19am CST
I guess I'm one of about a million or more people who earn money online, but what really are the best ways? I kinda have the feeling that unless I'm on my computer all day long I'm not going to earn anything substantial. This of course is impossible because I have a 3-year-old daughter and also have an active daycare setting where I watch other children. Is it crazy to think that there might be a way to have to put in less effort for more return? Or does that just take too long to establish? I have 2 thriving businesses already (not counting my daycare income) but making extra money online is a very lucrative opportunity...I guess if you find the right programs and stick with them right? Opinions please!

It just comes down on whether you are looking to make extra cash or an actual income. There are plenty of companies that offer work from home but they are most likely in sales, customer service, transcription etc... A lot of these require equipment and experience since there are so many who want to work from home. But anyone can find a real job with these companies with some effort, a resume and time. If you are just looking for extra cash then that's a bit more difficult. Everyone assumes that because it's extra cash it will come by faster and without much effort when in reality it's the opposite. You will probably have to work harder and it will take longer to find something you enjoy doing and start earning from it.

I understand that when you're busy, it means busy! I am registered with a program which can be run completely hand off and this "Gomez Peer". That program is designed for website to run properly with the used of your windows base PC and laptop. If that interests you can locate signup link on my profile. Though, I must warn that activation maybe instant or longer. Mininum payout is $5 via paypal! Try it at least with you home computer! If you're active you can run same program on portable laptop "that if daycare centre has Wi-Fi". I hope this helps!

I do some things online. I also have some independent contracting that I do. At your age I ran a home based daycare. I am always on the lookout for things that fit me to make money at home.

dlawrence1208, I am not too sure if you are willing to spend time to learn, I think forex might be one way for you to make money. Of course there are other opportunities too if you are interested you can pm me and we can see what is most suitable for you. Also let me know what is the payment processor you prefer. Cheers.

I was trapped by this cycle myself until I came up with an idea, well implemented an idea many people have already used. Call the idea what you want because it has many names. I use a schedule, I've got blocks of time for each task. I tackle the hardest ones early in the day. Once I worked from 6:30am to 9pm. Now, 9am to 4pm. Believe it or not I get more done!

Actually I'm asking too if it is a efficient way to earn money? I suppose it should be better to calculate the base pay per hour so you can be stuck to the focus.

Hey there,this is just my opinion if you have daycare means you are seeing the kids parent every day. why dont u start an online business relates to children stuff? i think u can say very well about those products since u are running daycare. U only need to check on your pc to see if there are orders. 1st of coz u gotta find what stuff to sells and what stuff will sells.. dont use ebay or any websites that is complicated for beginning, just use your social media side and free stuff like blogspot..

there's a lot of online jobs that you v=can get on freelancing sites. or... you can get online jobs for writing articles and doing translations. but there are really no easy type of job. it really requires time and effort. if the the online job site site offers you money for doing nothing, that's absurd. doubt it, it's a scam.
