    1. If so, how do you make?

    2. What do you do?

    This thread is to help people see what is profitable online, and what is not.;)

    Sort of. I have no other real income apart from what I make online, which I do live on, more or less. But my answer won't help many people, I think: I daytrade my own small forex account. I try to make an ultra-low-risk £150 to £200 per day when I can trade, which is one or two days per week during term-time and five days per week in the holidays. It wouldn't suit everyone, to put it mildly. You need a bit of starting capital, a lot of discipline and patience, a few good textbooks, and most importantly the willingness to ignore almost all the myriad online advice-merchants, three quarters of whom are trying to sell or promote something while most of the remaining quarter just don't know what they're talking about. :eek:

    Doing unique things is the best. Starting original and innovative website ventures.

    The owners of facebook, myspace, old youtube owners are laughing right now.

    Some clients want to use Yahoo Answers as a medium to advertise their products. They hire people to post answers to existing questions and add a link to their website in the resource box. I have done that before for $.2 per post.

    Oh okay, gotcha! I misunderstood and thought they meant Yahoo would pay you. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

    I am retired an starting doing a website in 2007 did not make a thing for about 5 months. then started selling the products like all of a sudden and being retired it was realy not that much just building it up and seling more and more. Now I have three productwebsites and a joke site and a blogbetween the product and adsense it has reached a 1,000 a month now in earnings in the past 3 months. So I guess for being retired it's fine. Just to let you know its not the only income in the house my wife still works and she does a good living.

    I earn about 40% of my total income online via freelancing, I hope to increase the percentage someday.

    I have some friends earning a good living online, but those mainly start in the late 90s of early 2000 when the Internet is still evolving and there are space to establish your niche. Currently with such Internet saturation, it is quite difficult to sustain your living online unless you happen to have something unique and not easily replicable.

    I have been living exclusively through net income for about two years now. Even with the depreciation of payment for quality writing that has made DP less than useful for jobs this past year, I still make about 80% of my income on freelancing to a multitude of webmasters and article sites. The other 20% comes from product sales (ebooks) and AdSense revenue.

    Even when the occasional long hours and cash flow fluctuates from week to week that has its moments of feast and famine, working for myself on the net is 100 times better than having to put up with the petty power trips of small minded employers and their time clocks.

    Unfortunately, I am not yet making my living through my online work. I'm working hard to develop a unique project in order to reach that goal though.
