It Won’t Happen Over-night but…(it will!)

[MOMdotCOM]

Dear MOMdotCOM Friends,

Yesterday I received a note that made me sad, from a user that has not
had success with surveys and “threw in” the proverbial “towel.” I
sincerely feel for this woman- I have personally “been there, done
that.” We all invest time and hope, on occasion, in avenues that just
don’t pan out.

Ever had a bad dating experience? The same holds true for online
programs…

This is a harsh reality of working with online programs (and in our
“real” life work opportunities,) some companies are just not a good
fit for us. When this happens, it is best to move and explore an
alternate route.

If surveys do not work for you, try mystery shopping. If data entry
companies aren’t beating down your door, consider applying for call
representative jobs. You can always return to your initial endeavor
and add it to your repertoire.

Sometimes what happens is we just need to give things a little more
time.

Markets change, needs change, and you may find that one month a survey
company is sending you seventeen opportunities and the next month you
receive none. (For this reason, I always highly recommend signing up
with multiple companies to maximize your opps!)

One thing I know with 99.99 percent certainty. If you are persistent,
if you commit the time, and if you remain open to exploring various
avenues for earning and saving money via the Internet, you will
succeed.

Persistence is key. There are some avenues, such as blogging or
selling your crafts, that do not bring a steady cash flow in the
beginning of your venture. And again, as the market fluctuates, jobs
like surveys and mystery shopping may be plenty or scarce.

Time is hard to come by, but if you want to earn or save, it’s
generally worth every penny to dedicate an hour of your day to helping
out your financial situation.

Keeping your options open will bring you many rewards. I also highly
recommend not “putting your eggs in one basket” and only signing up
for surveys. There are many things such as couponing and focus
groups, that you can participate in/with simultaneously—doubling and
tripling your earning and savings!

Best wishes to you for a successful journey!
