    At 15 you should make it your hobbie, keep learning everyday but keep studying.

    Wow, 15 - you're young, and willing to work hard, and I agree with others, finish your schooling while deciding exactly what it is you want to do concerning internet income. There are so many options, and it seems like someone, somewhere is always coming out with the newest can't-miss product or program.

    My advice would be to always ask for documented proof that will substantiate these claims when someone makes them. If the person is just blowing smoke - they will probably give excuses about why they can't or won't prove they are telling the truth. They might say something like, "I don't have to tell you my personal income" or "check out the scanned documents provided on our website" or some other sidetrack.

    My reasoning is if they are going to tell me how much they make, then it is my business! Before I buy their product or join their opportunity, I want to see proof that it is working for them. Just like if I went to a bank to get a loan - I could say "I make 20,000 a month" - would the loan officer say: "Hey, that's great - here's your loan"? No, they want proof of income, proof of good payment history, etc.

    More often than not, those who make those claims are simply not trustworthy. I have found that those who boast about it and throw out numbers are the ones to steer clear of. I think that people who really make a ton of money are wise enough not to broadcast it just to hook you into some scheme.

    Yes, you can make a very good living from the internet - but it does take a lot of hard work just like building any other business does.

    Well, the most important thing is that you are making money, maybe its low but you are making money find more way to make more.

    and as of your original question... of making living from internet.... there are people who have made fortune from Internet.

    Wow, thanks guys. I'm going to school, it's a homework free school. Every evening I can focus on my online activities. I have 8 weeks of vacation now, 2 weeks I'll be in Spain, so the other 6 weeks could be used to develop my knowledge and gain experience. I'll try to reach my goal of $10/day, by the end of this summer. Is this reliable?

    Thanks,

    Edwin.

    Whelp, it seems you're working on bux.to ptc, its possible, even more than $10.. focus more on your downline recruitments rather.. clicking/viewing ads alone won't bring in much money.. Those earners have already established a lot of recruits.. they earn comissions even they sleep.

    Good luck to your endeavours

    Yes this is possible and many 1000's if not millions of people are living off the internet business. You need to put the time and effort in to the internet business and you will have enough to live off the internet.

    I started becoming interested in the Internet in the first year of college so i was 16/17 at this point. I do admit that it is hard to ensure that school and your education remains your number one priority when you do not see anything in return for all the efforts and hard work that you put in at school. Especially when you can apply the same amount of time and energy in the internet and make $1- well its endless, however if for some reason the internet and the market you are in begins to fail if you have not got your grades and your A levels and your degree to fall back on you are screwed.

    I would stick to keeping your internet business as your second or third priority (if you have a girlfriend, keep it as your third or else things can turn sour :p) because at the end of the day if things do go wrong on here, then you can still get a good job out in the "real world"

    I am now off to university and i am still going ahead with my internet business however things are slow but the key to successs is perseverance.

    Good Luck
    -Get good grades.

    Hehe, I don't have a girlfriend, I hate to bind.

    Anyway, I'll try to reach my goal of $10/day this summer. When I have to go to school again, I'll try to do my best :)

    Oh hello from Palm Springs, California Xabber.
    School was not what I did, I went to work though it was harder and looking back actually I never look back but there are days I wish i did the whole school thing. I make with now a days a lot of employees or team members and sub contractors make good money living life like I could never had dreamed possible.
    School was not for Logic, but hard work was in my body. Timing for me was right on sdo the dicession to never go to school came out alright for me. Self educated and advance in education is a daily move that not going to school pushed me harder without paperwork to say I accomplished this or that. I am certified in a lot of differant areas and apply them each day in my work.

    Stay in school luck does not happen to everybody, I was willing to work and luck was on my side.

    I have to agree with most. There is money to be made and you have to work hard at it. Just focus on school for now and do a little at a time online. Money online is like everything else, you have to keep working it even when it's good....

    School is great and you can get a career that makes you a lot of money if you choose your area wisely. However, the sky's the limit with the net. It was once said that most people are just one skill away from being a millionaire.

    The net is a great resource, use it. I would learn seo, keyword research, and test and learn. If you fail, fail quickly, learn from it and keep moving.

    keep trying different things until you find that niche.

    i started off thinking i could sell services/virtual items and make a living. the competition was too strong though. you may want to venture in selling tangible items. look at all the eBay success stories where people sell their garage sale finds and make a living.

    It's possible to work from home - it requires hard work, a mastery of marketing strategy and a lot of luck. Without one of those three, it's not possible.

    Although I'm not making my income soley from the internet I know a number of people who are.

    You just have to make sure that you have not done well in one particular month and left your job (if you had one), you would hate to quit your day job and see your online income suffer so that you cannot pay your bills :D
