Well, I don't have much income and so maybe brian is right nobody will publicly announce their earnings even if in some forums a few posters really does indicate an idea of their income. As for my online venture, I have a full time job as an online assistant who helps in managing a website and I do a lot of part time online jobs, too, to augment my income.
Another point to note is to take everything with a pinch of salt - I'm seen some incredibly unrealistic claims, and often motivation by trying to increase stock value artificially, or to try and push people towards an untested brokerage.
Yes, I have also noticed that, to entice the viewers to join them. However, it is not easy to believe in these things. Everybody must be cautious in the net as there are many scams everywhere.
I use sharebuilder online as well as one other site. I can not say I've made too much, but that's because I am currently in the better safe than roll. Maybe in time I will take more riskier ventures and earn more money.
For a while I tried those surveys where you have to go through a bunch of hoops and then at the end you get an ipod or a tv or cash. Althougth I did get what was promised, I also ended up with a BUNCH of spam email...the worst kind. And I ended up spending more on the junk they were offering than I actually made.
yah, i used to have gadball email for my job applications and now, since most of the senders are now spammers with lots of offers, etc. I have learned to forget about it. Checked it last night, gosh, there were lots of job offers that I missed, sent few months ago.. tsk tsk...
Anyway, carjam, you can check on my site, i got a few job links there that you might find useful:
i almost started with blogging for adsense and trying those get-paid-for-surveys thing... luckily i got my freelance writing jobs before actually taking them seriously...
What's your money making online venture?
