I can't understand why so many people look for opportunities earning on the web, like earning write/ read/ click to pay sites. The money for most people from those things is like pennies. What motivates them to go on?

With freelance writing you earn real money and not only pennies. It is not an easy job though because you have to provide quality and original content. There are sites that pay from $1 to $3 per article and if you are able to finish 10 or 15 in a day, that amounts to some pretty good earnings. There is a writing site that pays almost $3 for every article with 500 words and many members in myLot are getting pretty good earnings from the site. Freelance writing is similar to a day job. If you want to earn more, then you have to invest a lot of time and effort. It is not an easy job because there are deadlines that should be met. There is also the possibility of rejection since some articles may not pass the scrutiny of the employer. Many myLot members are article writers and they can vouch for the fact that article writing can be a good source of income.

Try iwrite. It has many opportunities for article writers and sends payments through PayPal. The pay per article depends on the number of words necessary for the article and they pay a lot more for the 1000w. I am not very sure though but it seems like this site pays the highest price for articles. give it a try and good luck.

I have heard there are ways to make a living from home online. As for me iam getting older and along with age come aches and pains. I would love to be working making a living online. Ive been looking for awhile now and believeing now that people who claim to be making a living that way are liars. Ive even seen some here on mylots claiming to be making a living like that. Everytime i will ask them to share info with me, even in private but i NEVER hear from them. Im like you and think they can only make pennies.

They're using the wrong sites or working for the wrong clients. For the last two years of freelance writing I was earning between $500 and $1,000 a month from 3-4 hours per week. That's why people do it.

Do you earn much revenue or passive income, so that u can work so little time?

Well, since we not always get comment on facebook or any interesting status from the friends.Why not? We are not wasting all of our time in that site, are we? We could do it while we do anything that we have done everyday. Specially in Mylot, we could do it while get online on Fb, twitter or any site. We get new experience, knowledge, news and also some pennies. Try to become more active in here and ask as much as friends through your referral link. You will know why.

People usually flock to those websites because they require very little amount of work but then you still earn something , even though only in pennies . One more thing is that many people are participants from outside the U.S.A. so when they convert their earnings from dollars to their local currency , they earn big monies . So its basically the minimal amount of work to earning something draws people into it .

Interestingly i didn't think of people outside USA although i actually is one. Perhaps some people can make much more money earning US dollar than their own currency.

Ya that's obviously true because the foreign exchange rates for the US dollar keep varying on a daily basis and you can actually watch the market trends and withdraw your money when conversion against dollar is high so that you can earn a bit more . And this trend seriously changes when the amount of dollars involved in the transaction is very high . This is one major advantage of earning through dollars when outside the united states . And how much of your county's currency is equal to 1$ = ??

Well, maybe because it sounds like easy job and easy money, even with pennies. Some people don't like or can't leave home for their reason, like home-moms or sick people. An online friend of mine is a bone disease patient. She can't go out to work. Apparently she is living on some insurance she bought earlier, but that's only enough for food and house rent. Online job is what keeps her sanity and happiness.

i love earning money online. even if it's only pennies. Pennies online like in every day life when added up can begin to be some real money. I have been earning money online for the past 8 years now and I have earned thousands of dollars. Creating an income online is like creating an income any where else. Teach enough people to do what you do and before you know it, the money is adding up and you are getting paid daily!

Well first of all it takes only some minutes per day so that's the main reason most of the people use these earning programs. Also you kind of make your own little "company" trying to earn some more pennies when you get some referrals or when you update :)

Well, pennies is still money and the more pennies, the more money. It is actually better than nothing. In these hard times, people will work on anything that brings in extra cash.

Not all participants are from the US as one of the respondents said above, it's true. It is even possible that many of them come from 3rd world countries or developing countries, and in these countries, the cost of living is getter more expensive. Poverty is a very big issue for the people living in these countries. They take every opportunity that comes in their way to earn, even if it means earning little by little. Some people engage on these activities merely because of extra income that they could get. The more income, the better.
