Finding it hard to earn extra money

United States
March 8, 2013 3:54pm CST
So I have been working online for about 3 - 4 years now; I have joined sites that pay and joined sites that turned rogue; but none of the paying sites really gave me anything to really say "wow" about. The biggest payment I have ever gotten was a payment from google from monetizing my youtube channel; other than that nothing really worth my while. I come across these sites all the time that talk about "Make %800 - $1500 a day online" or "Make $50 - $100 a day with neobux", I have even seen claims as far out as "make $10,000 - $14,000 a week". Now of course just making $50 a day would be ideal for me because I can't exactly work and I am trying to pay off debts. Also making $1500 a day would be especially nice because I could pay off my debts as well as help my mom pay off some of hers and redesign the inside of our house. But I find that I still struggle and I want to start making a decent amount of money so that I can eventually move out of my mother's house and into my own place. I don't have the money to spend on these "miracle systems" like Google Sniper and all this other stuff that the "gurus" are trying to sell. I just want something that is free and easy for me to use without having to sell anything or market anything because quite frankly I suck at marketing. Simply put, I have been frustrated way too long with this and want to start making a real income online so I can prove that I don't need a college degree to make a living and actually make something of myself.

I have been on NeoBux a month now. I have already invested $200 of my own money and I never would have done anything like this if I didn't think I could earn off it. It will be hard and take time and patience just like anything else, but I think it's worth it, if you want to sign up under me, send me a message. You earn off me and I earn off you.

I am already on neobux, which is how I know about that neobuxsecret site that claims you can make $50 a day from neobux. I have been on neobux for about 3 months now and I already earn about 10 - 15 cents a day; I have only invested 45 of my own money. I have seen cashouts from neobux of over $5,000 so I know it is possible to make an income with it; its just going to take time. Neobux has made huge strides since 2008 for sure.

I do the tasks on Clixsense but the tasks are a bit boring to me and some of them are just redundant.

Those "Make $xxxxx in xx days" websites are all scams, everything that is too good to be true isn't true! In order to make money online you should focus on your skills, theres's no other secret in my opinion. My advice is this: you said you made some decent money by monetizing your YouTube channel. Well, I think it may result focusing on that for now, until you find something better. Why not trying to make your channel bigger and more popular, getting more subscribers and uploading more videos in order to maximize your earnings there? Good luck!

Maybe you should explain that you're trying to make money online, and how you're doing it, so they will let you alone while doing it...

The reason I haven't is because of lack of workspace and too many distractions. I can't make a video if I have someone constantly calling me to do something. That is why I don't make as much as I would like on other sites either. I just really need to be out of my mother's house so I can make a decent living with youtube.

it was 4 year ago when i got first payment from neobux thinking i could make big money in short time but time as proven that there is no easy way to make money online. last 6 months i have been concentrating only on my blog which gives me more than any other sites along with i offer freelancer services which includes article writing. i always looks for model of site and transparency of site along with support system. i am not much concerned of payment process - don't know why people always look for payment method and instant payout! if site as solid model it can pay you in any payment method - i prefer check or paypal. bankwire is costlier payment process... but still a stable site can pay through bank.

Most of the sites prefer Paypal or check which is economical. Even I prefer to receive by Paypal which is fastest or by check which as minimum transaction fees. Bank wire has always been an option for me in hard times. Sometimes Paypal limits account though they are genuine to check their account and releases them only after verification. Bank wire works great at this point.

Yeah.. I find it hard to earn extra too.. the best way is to find freelancer job, on freelancer sites. But that also needs time. It is not easy as well. But some people earn very well through sites like that..

Yes I have tried that as well but some of the "employers" on those sites are scammers and they don't pay you.

So how about now? How much do you earn monthly? I have been doing online stuff for a year now and I can say that I am new to expect things. I am trying my luck in writing and hopefully I have success on this field. Too early to tell because as of now I am not yet earning enough from this activity. As of now I am earning something about $50 a month and still looking for ways to earn more. Have a great day!

Earning from youtube is a new thing for me. I hope you gain success on that activity. Good luck and have a nice day!

Now I still don't make much just because I am always being interrupted from my work; I don't exactly have an office and my room is dark most of the time (which I don't really mind). For working these aren't the best conditions which is why I want to move out so badly. I am thinking about restarting my youtube channel under a different name because I have been getting a lot of subscribers lately; that is the only thing I have actually made a decent amount of money from even though I have only been paid once.

I know what you mean, there are all these sites, out here that promise everything from the moon to the stars, and they can't deliver any of that, I will just stick with the, site, with the lower earnings, let all the low earnings, pile up in my paypal account, and all it a day.

That would take a lot of time and effort and you almost would have to join 100 sites just to make a decent amount into your paypal account. I don't have the patience for that, which may be my biggest downfall.

I feel the same way here. Ive been online 6-7 years. I used to have a few sites i made 30.00-40.00 per month at. They are now gone. Ive tried many things, and most have gone scam. Id sure like ti have a few new ideas as well.

That is quite some time to be online. I have been having writers block for a few years now to where I can't really finish the novel I have been working on since my senior year of high school. Once I get over that hump I would hope that publishing that on Amazon would make me some funds to write more or even go after my other dream.
