i find myself broke all the time and the thought that there is no end in sight for such a state is not comforting at all. i've searched the net for those online partime jobs (data-entry, stuffing envelopes, freelance writing, etc), one which fortunately broght me to mylot, but i'm looking for more.sadly, i couldn't find any which didn't require me to pay $30-$40 for them to use my services. to top it off, most online jobs turned out to be scams, which deepened the disappointment even more. so if anyone knows a reliable site which provides part-time writing jobs and perferrably one that's global (i live in the philippines), lemme know:)

Hi teleios, First of all welcome to mylot! Don't lose hearts, continue on mylot and here you will get many friends like me to suggest you good sites. Actually I have also started finding online earnings,and joined a couple of sites which are giving very slow payments. I am joining you as friend , you approve it and then we will continue to discuss on this matter.

first of all, let me welcome you to mylot... please don't give up and keep on looking for an online job... at the mean time, why don't you try to find a decent job which will pay you much better rather than online job??? good luck anyway... keep on posting and replying to discussions here and find as many referrals as you can and you can find your earning will boost significantly...

Have you tried writing for magazines or even writing childrens books maybe that would be an option you could look into. I have been writing for associate content and I have wrote a couple things for daytipper. I like associate content best though. I am going to try to write more for them because that it is a good site, I don't know if they pay anyone outside the united states though. Maybe you could check into constant content. I am not sure exactly how they work but they do pay. Just keep trying and hopefully something will work out.

Like most of the people here, online cash sources was something I looked into. Otherwise, I wouldn't have found myLot, right? I also didn't have much luck with those, and I was looking for freelance writing jobs, much as you are. There were, however, a number of venues that I found that I merely chose not to pursue. Have you looked into writing for a small journal or e-zine? I dont know what kind of work you do, but there are quite a few places looking for basic editing or simple stories on a wide variety of topics. Others will pay for submissions of short stories or poetry. There are several hubs for this kind of work, such as: "Market for Writers", and a very good list of places that pay for writing can be found at http://www.mamohanraj.com/Writing/litmarket.html Hope this helps.
