    if you are going to be addicted to the internet you might as well do something constructive. Especially after you have already watched all of the porn ever made.

    I wish that I could make enough online, so that I wouldn't have to work for a company and a boss that I don't like. I would love to be my own boss, even if that means working 10-12 hours a day.

    I think there is a myth that everyone who tries to "make money online", will succeed. We are being sold that by a lot of stories (true or not) about "so-and-so" making $XXXXX, or $XXXXXX a month...etc.

    Hype sells.

    If you work in banking sectors, you will get the skinny on real jobs that pay $XXXXXX anually, and I doubt 90% of people trying to "make money online," will ever make close to that.

    But if you want a side hobby income, I suppose it fits for 90% of webmasters.

    Those making big bucks are VERY few in number, and they own a large market share of their niches on the Web.

    Another good reply! There are a lot of people looking here trying to get money for nothing but the reality is you need work hard/smart to succeed. If you manage it the rewards can be great though :D

    Answer is simple - As they don't make much money offline so they try to earn it online.

    Most likely because it doesn't require the 'conventional' monetary investment.

    Another problem (especially on here) is that as soon as someone create a thread 'How I made $1000 using Adsense in just 1 month', everyone reads it and soon becomes an expert.

    Well some people actually do make hundreds of dollars each day online with very little work.
    When I started out I was very lucky and I started making a lot of money in a few weeks.

    I left my full time job and now i do Online Marketing full time.
    Don't limit yourself to adsense.

    I think its great, I'm currently at UNI and working at a supermarket and playing sport.. Theres times where Im around and not doing much and can enter some competetions on DP which can result in winning.. where 25$ is around 2 1/2 hours at work so its worth it
    a. to earn money
    b. to have a bit of fun doing it
    c. not locked into any set routines, you do it when you want and where you want

    Someone mentioned banking sector, yes. But what about 90% of other jobs ? That rule apply as well. Also it depends on country greatly.

    i don't know....maybe they think that online business is so easy? :eek:

    but in the end....there's no easy money,you still need to work hard....make some investment and of course spend a lot of time online ;)

    People are not obsessed (hate that word!) We are dedicated, if you are not dedicated then you wont make money doing this. And its not just making money online we work for ourselves. I get up when I want, work when I want, Go out partying whenever I want and theres no worry about loosing my job because I am my own boss!
