Why do you want to make money online?
I rarely browse the non-marketplace forums at DigitalPoint, but this morning I found myself looking through the business section and stumbled upon a thread titled “why do you want to make money online?” A very interesting question. It made me stop and think about what my reasons are. Before I get into my own, I’m going to post a couple of responses from the forum members.

“I want to make money online because I don’t like my job or working in general. The working world is tough because there are so many people that I have to watch kissing butt or manipulating their way to the top of a company while I work like crazy. Good workers do not get anything in return. It’s the cute girl or some talky person who gets ahead. Its a horrible thing but happens everywhere.”

“I do not have the capital to open a brick and mortar location yet. I want to be my own boss. I want to work doing something I am very passionate about.”

“I am a married person. I have one child. I am working as a document controller. But cost of living is very high. So earning are not enough. So i need to make money online.”
So I wonder what the percentage of people who make money online for a living is vs. the number of people who make money online just for supplemental purposes? It’s clear though that not everyone makes to make money online just for financial freedom or they hate work a “real” job. Some people just want a little bit of extra cash to support a family. Or maybe just fun money.
Right now, I want to make money online so I can continue to live my current lifestyle. My online earnings do not support me. I do not need this money to pay my bills and buy groceries. I use it for savings and stupid luxuries we think we need. I feel similar to toytown above. I want to open a brick and mortar store someday and do not have the capital for it. I want to make money online so it can fuel other business opportunities.

Supplemental income. Easy enough. My interests make web domaining interesting and fun to me. If i can make money too, well I’d like to do that as well if i can!
It is easy once you know how to do it, and this way I don’t have to work at the local restaurant etc to pay my beers
To make money online it’s not so easy as some people think. Sometimes you have to work harder to make money online than in real life! But I want to make my internet business to bring such amounts of money so that I could leave my offline business. I just think that internet gives great possibilities to people who want to achieve success. In real life you have to invest lots of money in order to start a good business, but in internet, you just have to invest time and to have some knowledge!
That is very true. It’s all about time on the internet. People need to be patient and good things will come.
All I ask is the chance to prove that money can’t make me happy ;))
I want to make money to become financially independent. Since I cannot do a full time job due to personal reasons, I would prefer to make money online sitting anywhere in the world.
I want to make money online because I don’t want to see my boss’s
face never again!!
