I am sure this has been asked before, but since I just recently joined mylot I figured I would ask since I am curious. What other ways do you earn money from working at home besides mylot? What is your biggest moneymaker? I am always looking for new ways to earn money,plus I love hear about what other people are doing.

I work on oDesk now doing freelance work. That is my biggest moneymaker so far. And if you are interested in doing transcription work, there's one on my profile that you can try out. They pay instantly upon request of payment.

I have tried oDesk, just seems to me you have to jump thru hoops to get on the site and get qualified :).

Not necessarily. Just create a profile, sit for a few tests and then keep applying for jobs. You'll eventually get hired one day. And once you've got yourself going, some employers will come looking for you as well.

I have an online store where I sell a lot of nick-knacks. I was planning on selling jewelry online but the price of gold has is quite expensive now so I haven't added that to my items in my online store.

cool, I have also thought about staring an online store. Have you thought about selling your items thru sites like ioffer.com, etsy.com and of course ebay. There also alot of other sites out there like that, just gotta do your research. A good way to get your nick-knacks out there and hopefully generate more income for you.

There are programs that offer to pay you to complete tasks. Like Microworkers or MechTurks. I have a few sites similar to these on my profile if you would like to check them out.

Yes I am still active there. They say on the site that your PIN will be mailed to your mailing address after placing your first withdrawal request - this will happen automatically. Once they mail the PIN out link will appear their and you will be able to enter the PIN. After that they will start sending payments to you. You can place a withdrawal request if your balance is over $9.00 + fee Amount to the withdraw Should not exceed "Maximum withdrawal" limit Minimum withdrawal is $9.00. I found this info under the withdraw button. So basically you have to request a payout of only $9.00 and then they will send you a pin number in the mail, type that pin number into the link that appears after you place a withdraw request. After your first withdraw then any future withdraw you make you will not have to type in a pin number. I guess they are just trying to be sure you are who you say you are. But to be certain you should ask around, like here on mylot to see if anyone has been paid from them and exactly how they proceeded with their withdraw.

I belong to here, neobux, and clixsense, but I am lucky if I can make payout. I am trying hard to make money as well. I have a couple of items I want to sell on craigslist, but I have heard so many stories (both positive and negative). I have a portable dish washer and a couple of tires to sell. I am hoping I can find a craft that is easy to make that I can sell a lot of. Money is tight for me because I am not working and neither is Randy. I am hoping to find other ways to make money.

I use three main websites. Mylot, another forum posting website, and a music review website. The other forum posting site that I am referring to makes a lot more money than here but you would be posting on a lot more different websites that the main site leads you to. The music review site pays around 15 cents per review and I do it whenever I am bored because it is fun. Both of them pay-through Paypal as well. If anyone wants links to the sites just private message me.

Hello shynepapin101, Yes I am referring to Postloop. It is an amazing site, I earned $6 there today! I can tell from your reply here that your English is good. When you make your 10 posts that they review make them pretty lengthy. (About the size of your response here) and make sure it contributes to the discussion. Once you are accepted the rules on other sites are a lot more lenient as long as your posts are long. I got accepted to the site with a starter rating of 4.1 out of 5

Hi Tammy, since you are US resident, you should join Textbroker and write articles. You are essentially serving as ghostwriter, and earn from article writing. The rate depends on the writing skill. You are likely to earn on average of one cent per word. If you can motivate yourself to write 10 articles per day, you can make enough to pay the mortgage. Most articles are at least 400 words in length. That means earning four dollars per article, and forty dollars per day.

There is or at least used to be a forum for stay at home moms with tips on bringing home some more income etc. I know a lot of people do surveys as the pay is not bad and there are often a lot of surveys to do.

The work at home forum for moms is called WAHM, just search for it or just type wahm.com, that is the forum you belong to Tammy because the people there are like you, they have kids and bills to take care of and can't find a normal job so they make there living online. You should visit there straight away as I too am a member despite being a guy and I have found it so useful but with some limitations because I am not in the US, UK or Canada.
