For those who are working and already earning, what is your main source of income and some sideline for an extra cash? And for those who doesn't have any income yet, what do you want as your source of income?
I am still a student and I'm earning at the same time. My sources of income are earning online through AdSense and hopefully through MyLot soon. Aside from those, I earn some from teaching Taekwondo, I just do this during my free time and out of fun. I'm having fun practicing and at the same time I'm earning, I'm basically hitting 2 birds with one stone.
But in the future, I want my main source of income would come from my very field of interest which is electonics. I am planning to work outside Philippines and save enough to start a business.
What's yours?

I'm gonna start working on March 2 again as a call center agent. So that's basically my source of income. But sometimes its not enough to just rely on that, I do some sidelines as well...like myLot, neobux and an online shop. happy [donsky14]
Having another source of income has become a thing these days. It's either the main source of income is not enough or it just adds up to savings or for additional spendings. Either way, having another source of income helps a lot. [boy_bato]
Hi boy_bato, teaching taekwondo must be lots of fun, I've never tried it myself. Its good that your working in between your studies, hope it doesnt interefere to much! I make a little bit of money modeling and selling my own images, just enough to cover bills. But I am waiting for some photography lights to arrive so i can forward my photography and work behind the Camera instead of in front. I dont really make any money on the side, such as adsense and mylot. Mylot for me is more fun and really great for getting help and advise on just about everything! It would be nice if i could make some side money from it but i would need to get lots of active referals! Chloe x [Pixrawr]
That's great, honestly I have tried modeling before. Maybe you could give me some tips or two.hehe (kidding) I love doing Taekwondo and I really don't mind making something out of it or not, I'd do rather rather if I'm paid or not, speaking out of passion I guess. I actually have experienced some months without pay and it really didn't matter, I love what I'm doing anyway. Anyway, it's great to hear from you. =) [boy_bato]
I used to rely on PTC and all those for my main source of online income. If you are referring to my main source of income in reality, that would be my day job. However, if you are referring to online income, get paid to write are my very stable and substantial online income. Mylot is not one of them because I seldom post, I prefer something that can earn recurring amount of money by means of pageviews. Adsense being one stable source have not making me enough and I personally think that it is not really worth the time, unless you have something really niche or blog or to post about. I have sort of forgo adsense as income already. It would be primarily writing online articles and news for me. Cheers. [arcideaco]
Thanks. Actually I'm just being hooked to blogging lately so I really don't mind making a lot out of AdSense. I just placed some ads in my site maybe, just maybe, somebody would browse around and I'll get something out of it. It's hitting two birds with one stone. Thanks for the reply and have a great day ahead of you. [boy_bato]
hey there I used to work full time in a real job about 5 years ago, for the past 3 years my only income comes from my online mlm business I am also earning about 4 times my salary that I was picking up when I was working offline To be honest I dont really use the survets or ptc sites as takes forever to reach pay out levels and its a one hit I prefer a more of a stable residual income hope that helps info is on ym profile feel free to pm me. [benny128]
Patience is definitely a virtue when it comes to earning online. I have just started again and it's good so far. At least something productive out of my free time (I'm earning ad enjoying at the same time). [boy_bato]
I work online these days!! Its great that you have decided to set up a busines instead of working under someone!! Trust me this thought itself will be the reason for your main source of income some day!! [joystick7]
It's not just about earning but it's really about passion. I am so inclined to electronics so I thought that it might be good to have a business related to it. There are a lot of opportunities here (in the Philippines) when it comes to Electronics but I still have to work my way up to start one. [boy_bato]
My source of income comes from my job. It is not online job and i must work more hard to get a lot of money. [jimbo88]
That's the spirit. Working hard and smart will always do wonders. But just try to consider earning online as a source of extra income. It really helps a lot. [boy_bato]
I'm a student too... well for an extra income i sell loads i tutor for computer lesson and creating videos and many more that relates to computer.. additional income is the making money online....well i hope i will have my first cashout.. [malou17]
Yeah, I'm from the Philippines. You? [boy_bato]
Right now my only source of income is my online programs. I will be starting a new job on Monday. I will continue using my online income as extra money. It sure comes in handy! [moneymommy]
I have always thought that earning online is just for some extra cash, maybe except for a very few who really makes big bucks from the internet. Having a good and stable job is more feasible and reliable rather than relying much on the online income. [boy_bato]
I earn money working as an affiliate marketer. I build websites and blogs and drive traffic to them using "white hat SEO" and generating free traffic using keyword research. I do use adsense, among many others like clickbank, linkshare, ebay affiliate program, etc. I don't have any income offline, but I think that it's great you could turn a passion into income. That's awesome. [StereoDiva]
Did you learn much? Have you done any research? Just following up. Cheers! [StereoDiva]
Well, I am a final year engineering student and I will be passing out this June. I am due to join my job from mid september so I would be having a 9 to 5 job. Since I have a lot of free time these days, I like to make some extra money. PTC sites are too low paying and when I came to know about mylot, it was a boon because it allows me to get paid while social networking. Its just unbelievable to be paid for something that I would do for free any day. [jshekhar]
I'm graduating this October too and I strongly agree, earning while enjoying social online sites is really fun. I don't think much about the earnings, I just enjoy exchanging ideas in discussions. [boy_bato]
Hi there, Right now I'm working in a local bank as a marketing, or in some banks known as financial advisor This is my first fixed-income-job The salary amount is so so, but still ok for me I'm still a university student right now, so I consider my paid as an extra allowance .. Hehee I also have a side job, which is as an freelance event organizer crew I got paid per event, so the more the events, the more money I got Heheee.. Aside from both jobs, I'm planning to make my own clothing bussiness with a friend Hehee.. Hope that we'll make it and become big XD Thanks ! [unuzzz]
That's a lot there but I guess that really doesn't burn you out at all. For sure you are enjoying your jobs which is a very important thing. [boy_bato]

Hello. I am new to this site. I have been trying to figure ways to earn online. I am unable to work right now due to some mental health problems. I have 3 kids to take care of and barely making it. I checked out ur site and it was great. I absolutely loved it. I just joined the SFI site. I have not been able to quite look at it yet but I have a feeling its gonna be great. I love mylot. I wish I would have know about it months ago. Its great every one has so many opinions and I love to read and learn. So yes I hope in the next year to come that my goal is to start making money online. [mdelosh]
Hi there. It's indeed great here. I myself just joined about 5 days ago and it's geen so good so far. Though my income is not that big and fast through online, I just enjoy socializing with other people here. It's a good source of side income. [boy_bato]
I write on the internet for money and that is my main source of income right now. I will probably need something more soon though, because i think that I will need to make more money in the near future. I think that I am going to be looking at some other ways to make money. [snowy22315]
A lot have told and adviced me that writing online pays good and also you'll have the luxury of time, you can work at your own pace and convenience. Why won't you try something aside from earning online? Like putting up a business or so? [boy_bato]
I m also earning online. and ya thats not much now but sooon i will start earning more. you can visit my website: http://moneykingdom.page.tl and see some of my earning proof. now i m targeting traffic transfer to my websites. thats y i will buy a auto traffic transfer soon. [rezax123]
My main source of income is NeoBux as you all know. As I live with my parents at the moment, I don't need to pay for that much, only a couple of hundred every month to pay for my share of the bills. I also earn a fair amount on here, as I have a couple of active referrals boosting my balance as well as the posts that I make myself. I love this site, it's so good. Imagine the people who have really active referrals, they must be minted! [GemmaR]
Gotta try NeoBux soon. I've heard good replies about it so I think it's really worth the try. [boy_bato]
I work a full time job, I work from home part-time. I also sell items on ebay and I mylot and write for helium and associate content. I have also sell my cd I sing gospel. I have quite a few things on my list that Supplements my income. [agrant10]
I'm a stay at home mom so I have limited time to earn income from home. But, my husband and I have an online network marketing business (http://catsbrighteyes.myworldresults.com/) and we coach people to be successful with their online businesses (network-marketing-resource-center.com). We've been quite successful. We'll be retiring to Uruguay in May. If you're interested in learning more, please send me a message. [chrystalann9]
I work as an apprentice in an architectural firm. I don't "earn" a lot though. This apprenticeship only gives us allowance. That's about 25% of the minimum wage in the Philippines. It's only enough for my daily fare and lunch. I'd be doing this for one more year before I can finally take the architecture board exam. I plan to take an online teaching job so I could have real "income". Plus, Im also trying out blogs, PTC and some other stuff. Currently, Im still looking for other ways online to boost my money pool. [Ailtria]
My source of income is mylot, and pickjack, and reading e-mails these are my sources of income, I come here to Mylot and answer some discussions, then I go over ot pickjack to answer some questions and post some questions, I log into me e-mail box and check out my Paid E-mails, that I have, every time I read a e-mail I make some small earning buy it help out alot, so I will be doing this for a while.happy [notlistening2]
I'm a high school student, so I don't technically need any extra cash right now, as my parents generally pay for everything, but I would love to earn some extra cash on the side. Recently I started writing on Triond --too recently to have actually earned money yet, but I'm getting there. I'm also checking out things like myLot, and Helium, hoping for a little bit more. If you have any advice on how i could make more money, either off of the sites I've mentioned, or off of other sites that have worked for you it would be greatly appreciated, thanks. -Nick, young Entrepreneur [zster101]
It's really great of you. You're still in high school and you already have the knack of generating some income. Great people started small like you do, as long as you keep that mindset and just push through, you can go as far as you can imagine. Regarding some earning online, just try AdSense and those sites that other MyLotters have posted here. Those are real time testaments so those sites are really proven provided that you work for it. Good luck and thanks for the reply -Boy Bato [boy_bato]
Well i am doing job ina company so i am earning also.. but getting not much money for me.. adn i can't get satisfies with that money..

I have a regular job and I also do buy and sell where I buy stuff at a cheaper price then resell it with a mark up price, but its not enough to be a regular job so I also tried MYLOT and neobux, and http://www.perfectbux.com/index.php?page=home&r=62383, I am willing to try other online paying sites so if you have any suggestions, just send me your suggestions hehe, thanks! [eabaterina]
My mail source of income is of course my job. I have been working as office secretary for more than 12 years now and am very comfortable with this. Other than this, I have no extra income…OK mylot maybe but its not much to fall back on. [sudiptacallingu]
My source of income is mylot.I also work in another paid to post site.I am also working in one paid to click site neobux.It takes time to make payout but it pays.I also work in surveys.It takes a lot of time to reach minimum.I also work in paid to read emails and paid to read sms.happyhappy [vicky30]
Hi, i think your a Filipino because of your myLot name. My source of income is my salary.I am working in a Real Estate developer company in makati, and receive salary 15th and 30th of the month. After office, i spend my time participating in discussions here. I would like to earn aside from my salary because i am the breadwinner of the family. I tried selling stuffs, like detergent powders, collecting scrap papers and newspapers and sell it to junk shops for a little cost, selling my clothes (like ukay ukay) but yes its first class because they are not worn out yet, well yes i tried so many things just to earn. But this time, i am concentrating in mylot, i would like to know more about other online earning opportunities . i would like to try adsense too, please help me how can i do that. Happy mylotting!! [iamsolucky]
Yes, I am. I'm from Cebu actually. It's great to see a lot of my fellow Filipinos here on MyLot. Regarding AdSense, it's just simple but be sure to have a site that is at least 2 weeks old. In registering for an AdSense account, you must first create a Gmail account. After that, just click the AdSense link and register. You'll be using your Gmail account in logging in to AdSense. Just some tips, if you still don't have a site of your own, try Blogger. You'll also be using the same Gmail add and you can easily put the ads from AdSense there, that if AdSense already accepted your registration. Good luck and happy online earning [boy_bato]
i am a housewife and i donot have any specified sources except what i get from mylotting.i was working but had to leave my job for looking after the kids. happy mylotting. [riyasam]
You've got more than 8500 posts already and that says a lot. I bet you've already earned a lot here in MyLot. More power to you! [boy_bato]
I work in the healthcare field as m,y primary source of income. I do online earnings as secondary. I am looking into other things as well for secondary income, but I want to make sure they are legit and trustworthy. [taface412]
now my income depends on my wage in our company,i'm just gratuated for not a long time,although the page is not too high,i sitll work hard to accumulate some experiences and learn something.When i was at school as a student,my income depends on my scholaship and the job during the vacations,of course,my parents and elder sister also gave me some.Anyway,i wish i can do it well in my job and can make friends with my customers. [Nancy312]
Just go on and continue learning. It really doesn't matter what you're doing right now (as long as it's legal and moral) or how much you're earning as of the moment. What matters a lot is that you continue to grow, improve, and prepare yourself for the future. It's not about what you've gone through but it's all about how you finish. Great and rich people was never born with a golden spoon. They all worked their way to the top and in order to become big, we should start small. Good luck and more power to you! [boy_bato]
My source of income is the internet. I am a member of a few sites that pay and I am quite satisfied with what they pay. I write reviews, I post discussions on forums and all this pays. Writing reviews expecially is a good way to earn money since it pays the most, as far as I know. [Frederick42]
hi. i am a full-time housewife. my husband doesn't want me to work anymore and that's also my stand since i want to personally attend to his and my child's needs. aside from the salary that my husband has been giving me, i also have a small business, which is a sari sari store. i also have my eloading business and i do personal shopping for my friends and relatives sometimes. even if i don't work i still enjoy being a full-time mom because i can do business on the side which is really my passion. [nansheeca]
So I think MyLot and other paying sites really helps a lot. You could just stay at home, participate in discussions, and build a good reputation online then that might be the start of a long way of earning online. [boy_bato]
My major income is from my work as an engineer. And also I click on the PTC site, it will help me earning small money. [pengbubu]
I just work part time since there are not many jobs avalible here at the moment. I work as a assistant for my disabled sister 10 hours / week. I also make some money online, not much but it helps. MyLot is a great way of earning some extra $ even if it will not be much money. I also does a lot of surveys and sign in on some pages every day that will give me vouchers for shops (mainly IKEA and for clothes - with a family of 5 there is always some cloths needed) I guess it's about $350 every year and better than nothing. I'm entering competitions onlene also and do win quite often - so I seldom have to buy birthday gifts or Christmas Presents since I usually win things I can give away. [mammamuh]
Well, for me my main source of income comes from my regular job. I am a calltaker aka Dispatcher for Yellow Cab, and have been there a little over 2 1/2 yrs. Over this time I have also earned some Extra $$ here in myLot and some of the other wonderful online things I have done, but never enough to consider just living off of them. One day my Dream would be to be a Published author and to earn just from that, but until that day comes I have to do what I do and continue to hope for the best from there. [KrauseHome]
Hi to you and to all my co-mylot members here in this site, especially to all my friends who are so busy making response in many discussion in this site and to other sites! Well this is my response to your forum topic discussion entittled "what is your source of income". Well me my source of income is only in the internet,like you my co-mylotters this is one of my sideline job while i am only a student. As i know making money online is very easy and there is no required special skills and knowledge. It only requires understanding and can right good english language, but if you are not good in understanding english and you find your self hard to write english response and long. You may just try to earn by clicking in many advert in the internet. By the way the most best PTC site that i know is the NEOBUX because many people have already told me that they got paid to earn. And as i know you can rent referals so you can earn more money. Thank you and that's all. . . [online_jon]
It think I have to give NeoBux a nod this time. It generated great reviews so far and it seems that it's a great opportunity to earn online, especially for somebody like me who's got a lot of time on the internet. Thanks for the idea, a lot. [boy_bato]
As I am a full time mom, I dont get paid for that, but since hubbys job has been hit by the decline in the economy, I have started to look online for a source of income, I have started with mylot a little over a month ago and I have signed up with a few sites that have been recommended through here....eventually I would like to have a good build up of paid to post sites and some earnings from these online sites... I hope that works out since it would be too difficult to work outside the house with the kids and all... good luck with yours and happy mylotting. [bookreadermom08]
Currently I'm laid off so my main source of income is my boyfriend and then my unemployment and the money that I make here I try and save up til about christmas time and do my online shopping with it. LOL!! So I'm think that this year instead of saving my money for next christmas I'm going to save it for family vacation spend money. LOL!! I know that it won't be alot of money but at least it will be a little extra that we wouldn't have had. LOL!! [bellaofchaos]
I am working very hard to establish a writing career, I've had a few articles published but they are few and far between so at the moment I think MyLot is it! I have my own blog and I am applying for writing jobs and submitting my work to publications and I hope things will take off soon! happy [paula27661]
Just keep up some high hopes and keep on going. There are a lot of opportunities out there (even though the economy is somewhat bad). The most important thing is that you yourself won't give up. [boy_bato]
I work form home as a Business Consultant and a Website Designer. Before this, my 9 to 5 was as a Computer Operator and this changed when I migrated form one country to another and had to re-learn a new language. I am very happy with what I do, but at times I sometimes wish I had a pay check coming at the end of the month. [gtdonna]
My main sorce of income is my job at Target Cotp. I also make about $500. selling articles and my travel pictures. [shopgirl]
That's a lot of online earning. How I wish I can reach that amount real soon. [boy_bato]
i am also a student.i am doing computer engineering 1st year.i am earning from gpt sites,ptp and for me autosurf sites are best.i started with only 5 $ but now i have more than 150 $ in 4 months in such site though i am not so active and lost some money also but this is profit for me without doing anything. [vinay049]
That's great that you enjoy what you are doing, I think it's very important. My main source of income is from being a CPA. I love to work with the numbers and right now is tax time so we're very busy. For side money I have myLot and a few other internet things I do, but that's just bits of change. I also have a home business that is getting off the ground and will actually be helping me pay off my mortgage very early! [reinydawn]
You've got great sources of income. That's indeed better than relying solely on one job or business. That's what I have in mind too. Soon when I graduate in college, I'll find a good job and at the same time maybe put up some businesses(doesn't matter if it's big or small). [boy_bato]
Hi there boy_bato!Well, my main job is teaching. I teach in one of the universities here in our city. We all know that in the Philippines, teaching is not really a high paying job. Thus, having other sources of income is a plus. I have some businesses that generate more than enough money to augment my monthly salary as a teacher. I also have some online activities that help me earn extra. Well, not as big but of course, better than none at all. [dolce_vita78]
