is doing online work worth replacing our conventional job?

If you can get an online gig that will pay you sufficiently, and allow you to get out of the rat race, it would be beneficial. I know convention and tradition are what people respect when it comes to employment and careers; but I think providing for myself and mine, and eliminating stress is important. In this day and time when good, reliable jobs are scarce, sometimes you need to make a job. If your creativity allows you to do something online that changes your life and/or the world, you may find yourself to be known as a tech genius. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs did it. Good Luck.

Even if you get paid mimumwage you will prolly make more at a real job then online i have been trying for months online to get a decent pay and i have yet to get more then 25 dollars. I am hopeing i can get a little something off of here because nothing eles i have done is working, but, the more i am on here the more i dont care about the money becasue i love this site so much. Its so fun.

Not without a whole lot of work. Writing on MyLot or article writing websites is unlikely to ever replace a full time job for someone, it requires a lot more determination and effort. If you ran your own, high traffic website or maybe had a shop on eBay or something then maybe, but I doubt you'd ever manage to do it using the websites most people seem to use to make money online. If you want to do it, it's definitely possible. It will require a lot of work, but if it's something you enjoy doing compared to whatever job you have now, then I guess it would be worth it.

This discussion is very right for me, I usually post many discussions about this topic, I think one should be very positive about making money, you should follow your heart how you want to do it, you may resign and do your job at home, and face the consequences, or you want to stick to your present job that is 9-5, I suggests if you want to try you can try online work for 3-4 months and see how it goes, if you earn more than your job offline, then I think you are right for doing online job. Just give it a try you won't know if you can succeed because successful people are taking initiative towards a goal.

I do not think so that my job online can replace my job offline. I only earn meager amounts online and I think that I cannot depend on it even for my own needs alone, still it is insufficient.I just have 3 online jobs where I am working now. I will just buy learning materials online and for the rest of I will earn, I will spend it to buy a digital camera for myself. I just consider my online jobs as part time jobs. Now that I am in my vacation, I can always be online and work online to gain more money. I am now somehow a full time online job earner. When vacation is over, I will just do part time job online.

It depends on the which Country you are from. I'm from India and in here 500$ per month would be sufficient for your needs and a lot of people in here don't even earn that amount from their regular job. So for me my online income is more than sufficient to replace my Day job as i earn way more than 500$ and the thing i love about earning online is my earnings just keep increasing every month. I love to be my own boss. The best thing is that if you use your brains and hang around in the scene for a couple of years then it's definitely possible to earn big on the web.

I don't think online job can replaced the offline job. It cannot be as high earning as we have virtually. I'm just considering that my online is a kind of fun and meet people in different races. Happy myLotting!

I read through this entire discussion. In my humble opinion, many people equate online work with income generating sources that do not make large enough quantities of cash to support life though it might help support there life style. I think we are really wanting to talk about a creating a business that focuses on computer technology and that kind of thing has been done successfully. I am not suggesting that I am very good at futuristic predictions but going to suggest that possibily, activity by independents (online) versus company employment methods (at job location) is not a switch or replacement for an individual but a merge only if it is possible to be done that way. Please ask if this is does not sound clear.

I don't think simple websites can replace a conventional job. Maybe if you had your own website with very high traffic it could earn you enough income but you will never earn a full income writing for random websites online.
