Do You Feel Discourage in Working Online?

I prefer to work outside the home. I think it's healthier because I like to see other people and other things, plus when I'm done I can go home instead of feeling like I could be doing more work.

Never give up as nothing in life that is worth chasing comes easy that is for sure. The start is always small and slow so when you feeling down perhaps read a book called the snowball about Warren Buffett and how he got started in life and made it big through hard work and well dedication etc.

I agree, when you work at home and you work online, you're the boss, you can also set your own time. When you're an employee, you don't have time too go out with your family if it's not weekend, you don't have the right to tell your boss that you have to take a leave when there's no reason at all. If you work at home you can do what ever you want, all you have to do is to work hard at home, do all the things you need to do. Then, you can even learn from posting, from sitting whole day to a great pay check. I earn $1000 a month just by posting and writing online.

I think it is just as easy to feel discouraged when working at a job offline. Not every paycheck comes with job satisfaction. Many jobs require a lot from you, but the compensation is lacking. It's a difficult situation, but at least there are options and one can supplement the other.

I have been trying to figure out how to make money from home for the longest. I've don't endless research on affiliate marketing business, but I've been a member of several mlm programs which have made me scared to invest money into "opportunities". I've only gotten partially into the affiliate business and am too nervous about going further. I need to get an outside job just to generate some cash to at least have a financial cushion to fall on while getting vested into the online world. In case it doesn't work out. But it is really hard to find a job outside the home. At this point I don't care what kind of job I get, as long as it pays something. To have a set paycheck every two weeks would be quite a relief.

Yes, I think you should find a job outside than working online. Yeah you are right, no boss, your the boss and you have a freedom to do or work whenever you want. But the disadvantages of that is, working online is not enough to support your daily living. You cannot earn that much as you work on a certain company. In addition to that, You will gain circle of friends in the form of your colleagues or office mates if you will work on a company. You can work online too during your rest days.

For myself, I see online job is just my hobby and part time income. All I got every month just enough to pay my utilities. But for living, it's not enough at all. But I believe if I can get more knowledge like webmaster, forex and internet marketing, I can really make good money online and much better than offline. But for now, I will keep on learning on certain knowledge and skills in order to increase my online income. Hope one day, I will not need to go outside my house to get money.

I only work online to save for my luxury: vacations. I cannot earn online enough to pay my bills or to buy enough food for myself. I`, retired now and I live on a budget with my retirement pension. I own my house so it costs me a little to pay for taxes and the like. I acept that I don`t have enough money to but many clothes, but my friends and family often bring me gifts.

That is the downside of working online. The salary you get working online is not the same as that if working in an office. But if you are just vigilant enough, I am sure you will be able to get jobs online that require skills which you might possess. I used to have an online job and it gave me a salary almost as if I was working in a regular office. You just need to find the right company to trust.

Well, the hard thing is to make an online job full time. But it is possible. For me, an online job cannot replace an offline job. Online jobs are meant only to be part time. But there are experts that make their online jobs full time in which there are earning a lot. So it's up to the person.

I totally agree with you. Frankly speaking i feel discourage in working online because so far i have not done it and i am afraid of losing money.I know there are so many people who are working on line and getting good stuff in return. I admire them fully but i don't want to go for it right now. MAy be some time after i will have confidence and i will do it.Till then as you said i am happy with my salary.

Hi, I never try only working online, I just think working online is to pass my free time, I think it's difficult to live only through the money we earned online. Maybe you can open an e-shop to sell things online, I know many people do that as a job, but I never try, as I have a full-time job to do. Good luck!

I feel the same way before when i was starting freelancing online. It really does not pay that much. However, you need to find a reputable employer that would pay you well. I had some experiences from the past that i was paid really low and it wasn't even worth the time and effort i had devout from the work. What i did is i quit that online job and look for another online job. Since here in my province, you can't find good opportunity and no one is hiring on the field that i graduated so i settle for my online job. As i was scouting for another online career, i browse on several job postings at odesk and we all know odesk is one of the legit online job portal in cyberspace so, i applied to various projects and employers there and luckily i was hired for some projects. and at the moment i am working freelance for a text QA service which i was hired as Human-Search engine. although the pay is still not much but it is way much reliable compared to my previous employer. On that note, when finding work online, don't go over on googling it and find some sites that are not trustworthy judging from my experience, the best way to get hired and have a good pay, You go over freelancing websites such as odesk. Hope this helps.

I absolutely agree. That's why I try to enjoy myself while earning. I play games and earn. You can check my profile if you want to. It has a website. And yeah you can't earn much by playing though.

I have been discouraged a lot of times because of these whole online earnings. i have had my emails bombarded with spam emails because i thought this one site truly offers an opportunity for you to earn decent amount of money online... but really its just a waste of time and space in my email. i haven't really found something as good and as reliable as mylot... so far. i have nothing against others but im happy with mylot now - even if i get a little here, at least i do not have to risk any money and i can be here anytime i want, i just can't make mylot my only source of income. haha ;)

It's not true that people who work outside or offline are assured of a salary. There are cases where people work but because their boss cannot collect payment from their customers, he cannot pay his workers. I think this happens quite often in this uncertain economy. So, doesn't mean you work outside, your salary is guaranteed. The only guarantee is if you work for a big company or for the government. There are both pros and cons to working online but if you focus and you work smart, you can pay your bills with the money you earn online. I suggest you aim for a passive income. This way even if you don't go online, your website or your ecommerce site will still make money for you.

You are right offline salary is more than online work but some time if no job then online work is good other than nothing. I am also discouraging from online earning but no option because since last 3 months my interest is gone from my offline work.

Hi there! I am a freelancer and sometimes I get discouraged to because even though I applied for a position, clients still rejected me for they had to choose much better but still I'm doing this stuff for fun and not for money. hehe :))

Hi friend, sad to hear about this, patience is important in online earnings, if you keep patience and do your work with confidence and determination, you will make a good income from online. Don't get frustrations. We will increase our income based on our hard work and efforts as well as experience

I am also a bit dissapointed of my earnings! But the good part is that I can improve my English!:)
