Since I am new here and everything about money-making opportunities online are still foreign to me, I just want to ask the more experienced ones how your online careers are doing so far? Is it enough to sustain your everyday needs? Or you're just doing this for additional income? Is the pay good? Are you properly compensated? Let me know! :)

I don't expect my online earning to bring home the bacon but they do provide gifts throughout the year to family and friends.

I see that a lot of people can't do it, maybe more places should offer paypal and then also pay different countries.

Yes, I do heard some sites that offer rewards such as Amazon and Walmart gift cards. Too bad I can't use that in my country, that's why I didn't bother signing up :))

This is not a career by a long shot. Some people are able to do so, but it is few and far between. And the sites most well known are not sites that you can take care of serious bills with. But, I have found that being online has has helped me take care of incidentals. Buy things I want on Amazon... get CVS giftcards to purchase my meds with. Everyone can use a little more. Just don't expect it to pay your rent. With a lot of saving you might purchase a new couch... but not your bills.

I agree with you on that. Though I'm not really planning on making a career out of this. I'm just trying this out and see how it works for me :)

Oh i made a career out of mylot and that's just about it. hahah ;) To answer your questions: Is it enough to sustain the needs - well no of course it is not enough but i do not rely on mylot alone for my expenses. if i would count it, it is not even enough to pay for the internet bill heheh :D I am doing okay, i guess when it comes to mylot. I have a good rating so far and been on here a long time and i constantly reach my pay out every month. I am happy because this is basically what i am able to do online so its really fine with me. The pay is okay, and fair not that it is really good. so i am not your average online earner. hehe

I've been active here in myLot too and so far, I'm doing good :) And I agree with you. Relying mainly on online earnings is not even enough to pay the Internet bill unless of course you have tons of other online jobs. Its still much better to have a stable job outside the Internet.

Hi ayeesha. Well I have been here in and out for a long time. But this time I am serious about online earning. I am taking it slow and steady. And so far results have been pretty good. Since this journey is new, we can tag along and take each other's help in accomplishing our goals. You can message me if you are interested. Also you can follow me on my blog. Have a nice day !!

Hi supershames! I would love to hear about your online money-making ideas and of course, I don't mind sharing what I've been up to so far. But mind you, I'm still new here so I wouldn't be able to contribute much although the online jobs I've been doing are doing good so far :)

That's good to hear jiiiiiin. At least as early as now, you're trying to make money for yourself even if you're still being supported by your parents :)

Hi! I am new to mylot just like you but i have been doing some online earning sidelines for about 2 years but I did not really focus on it because I have work offline. Now I'm getting interested again because I just had my Internet connected yesterday.

I do not have a job. In work online, well, I do it as an extra income. For me, if you want to receive a good money, you can find it on outside at home, but if it is extra income, you can work online.

I think having a stable job outside the confines of your computer is still better compared to waiting for your online earnings to increase. But of course, there's nothing wrong with having that extra income.

I haven't withdrawn anything so far. It looks like it will take a lot of patience and time for me to have a stable income online. Good luck to us!

Me too. I'm still new to this that's why I've been spending a lot of time in front of the computer just to improve my earnings :)

Hi ayeesha! I made a great improvement during the first quarter and i am so happy about it. I am sure that I just have to continue my writing activities and I will be able to attain my dreams in the near future. I am dreaming to get from online source the amount I can get from my offline job and of course to buy a car. Have a great day! We can do it!

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well i can understand your situation very well and i know u must be having many queries in your mind regarding the online thing. Well as far as my case is concerned, my online career has been going good and so far i have earned money as well but it can never become my mainstay and i have taken this as an additional source of income for me. What say?

I sure do but everyday, I'm learning and improving and I now have a better understanding on how this works. So far, I haven't cashed out anything yet so I can't really say I'm doing good. But I'm still hopeful.

Hi, ayeeesha. I have a job to do, so I just come here when I am free. I feel it's difficult to cover our everyday needs only by online job. It's additional income for me. Compared with the other websites, mylot is still a good one to earn money, I like it.

Hello there! I have to agree with you. I still think having a stable job is the best way to keep up with the everyday expenses. Though I heard and I know some people who gets well-compensated in their online jobs. But they do stuff like VA or transcription, not myLot or any other writing sites.

For me, I do online work to make myself busy becuase I do not want to think so much about what my husband does... and another reason is just to have some saving. but here in mylot I really enjoy, as I am almost always alone, so here I feel that I am not alone when I discuss and comments here,I feel I have many friends who talk to me and it energiez me for having better day.
@ayeeesha (1127)

I have the same reason. I'm a stay-at-home mom as well that's why I'm constantly looking for ways to keep me busy and at the same time, earn money for myself :)

As per my experience here in this site, I can consider myself a newbie in the online money-making opportunity. I haven't withdrawn any amount, instead, I am starting to invest some writings in my blog hoping to be successful someday. But so far, I am just investing everything to work perfectly fine someday.

We're just on the same page. I haven't cashed out anything yet although hopefully I'll be able to in the coming weeks.

Online earning is like offline earning; in a sense that it also requires motivation, dedication, skills and persistence as in offline world. There are failures and billionaires in both worlds. So it depends on you what you can do out of it. Internet is a medium. What you share with that medium, what you create, is up to you. That being said, Internet is not GRQ (Get rich quick). People have misunderstood it. Most of the population believe that earning online is easy and you can earn money quickly, without improving their skills. You just have to work at both places.

Not only you but every person is in search of additional income and for many people online earning is another avenue to make some extra money by joining some sites and working on that. I am working on this site plus on some other sites also not full time but part time

We can get more fun and enjoyment while working online. It is really hard to make a great income from online jobs, but we can get compensation for our time. I am doing online work for around 2 years and happy with it.
