Online Goal $400.00 per month ! (GOAL REACHED AND PASSED!)

This was my profile here on MyLot (Online Goal $400.00 per month !). Having not been here in a while I laughed when I looked at it, because I have not only reached, but I have passed that goal. My goal wasn't very large. Well, to some. Back then when I set this goal I was lucky if I made $100- $200 per month online. I did everything from answering surveys, PTC sites and online programs that made you a few cents here and there. I also had my advertising sites, which I still have and now earn a lot more than they used to. But my biggest money makers are my blogs...wish I had known about blogging 5 years ago when I started online. By now I would be making thousands, versus hundreds. But still I am thankful that I am making what I do now. In a good month I can make almost 1000 bucks and on a low month I make at least $500. So how do you earn the most online??

I earn the most from freelance writing. I write articles, website content, etc. and also do product reviews. It's interesting to see how others earn online.

Yahoo network: Voices! OMG! Yahoo Sports! Yahoo News!, Epinions: product reviews, takes awhile to get this one going but worth it in the long run, Viewpoints- you have to apply for paid writing here, Textbroker.com, odesk.com. I've picked up several great jobs from odesk that were on-going. Another one that pays very little but fun is List My Five. If you have any questions please send me a message. I'll be glad to help if I can!

I don't write well enough for freelance. I am a bit dyslexic and my grammar is horrifying, so for me to write articles or posts for people is really hard. When I do a sponsored post that is going to be paid $50, it will take me like an hour almost but for the price it's worth it. I used to write on a site that paid one cent per word, OMG what was the name?? I did pretty good on that till there was almost no jobs. Does anyone know the name of this site??? I might go take a look at it. Last two months on blogs has been really slow so I am looking for any extra ways to earn.

I want to start doing freelance work as well, but I guess I am afraid I am not good enough. I am an okay writer, but for some of these freelance sites you have to be much better than I am right now. But I guess if I don't get out there and start doing it, I want get better. Who do you write for?

I have my own website which I direct people to to help them save and make money but available UK only and this is very successful although a lot of my work is also offline. I do surveys also. Well done for achieving your goal :)

I've been in the online earnings world for five years if not six now myself and I've never made that much. I don't do all the things you do as I find it boring and tiring, as well as stressful. I come online to earn, yes, but I also come online to relax. There is rarely ever a moment when I am not on facebook at the same time as I am on here. While $400.00 a month extra would be nice, it's not something I'm going to waste my time on figuring out how to do just to make that little extra. I earn maybe $30.00 a month extra and that is good enough for me.

hi there virtualmirage, your online goal is very good. same as you are, i have also set my own. but on my part here, it is a combination of offline and online task. so it is kind a big amount. however, being at online job, i always see to it that, i can sustain an income of $35-$50 a day, roughly, $1,000 per month.

Hey, that's quite an achievement, you have been able to total about $1000 a month, quite an amazing achievement and would probably like to know how. People here in Mylot should be able to help other Mylotters so they can emulate them on the earning streak. Hope you get to share how you have been able to achieve this.

Sounds like you are like you are quite successful in the online world. I'm glad to hear this. You exceeded your goals which is a great accomplishment. The key is to have numerous sites to work on. I too have numerous sites and I am getting the hang of making money online. Keep up the good work!

Congrats on your achievement. How much time do you spend online? I have only 2-3 hours to spend as my kids are small. I need to focus on them and that gives me very less time to focus. I make a hundred or so by freelancing in this free time. I want to know the blog host of your site....not getting the perfect word...I mean blogger, blogvertise etc. I am lanning to spend some time blogging if that can help me make real money. Please tell me how much time is required to spend on a blog to see real money.

Honestly, I am a bit jealous because I have never reached that amount ever since I started doing online tasks in 2007. How do you do it?

Whoa, $500 and $1000 on a good month, that's such a huge amount of money and it is quite amazing to see that you can achieve such, am so happy and looking for a way to emulate such amount, even $500 is good for a living in my country. Am so glad that you could do that, I would like to keep a trail on you so we can also work together, so I could achieve earning up to $300. Hope to hear from you so we can know how we get it all worked out.

Wow! You earn that much?! That's awesome! I haven't reached that amount. I am only in my thirty to sixty dolars per month. I am not that active in online money making because I'm a bit busy with other stuff. COngratulations by the way! One day, I hope my blogs will also earn thousands per month. Right now, I;m aiming at least a hundred per month. Care to give any tips on what to write about to earn more? I will really appreciate it.

That really good congrats on meeting your goal:) I make probably about 200-300 pounds a month online but I've found a site where I can write product reviews and be paid for everyone that votes it helpful so far I've made 100 in two weeks on that so hope to start doubling my earning over the next month or two.

You can earn around $500~$1000, it is really good income. I wonder what kind of blog you do own right now, how much do you earn from blog? I really want to learn your experience of earning money online. Share with us if you can. Thank you so much.

Congratulation for archiving your goal. Making $500 a month is a really high target to reach and you're making $1k on good month. Making $1k/month online is very good, here in my country it's MYR3000, that's like average income here, and you can do it online.
