One of the biggest questions on the internet is, are there online gigs that will let me pay the bills. The answer is a rather complicated one, but the truth of the matter is, Yes, you can find online gigs that will pay your bills!

The first thing that one must remember when starting to seek online gigs to pay their bills is, it is still going to be work and will still have to be treated like a job. More then that it will be like starting your own business. You will have to put in way more hours then it is worth (especially in the beginning) and you will have to work hard to find those things that work for you. Not every gig is for every person. You may try online surveys and get frustrated looking for the ones that pay, they are often hard to find. You may join a pay to click service and discover you would rather bore your bloody eyes out then wait to click on the next ad. That's fine, you don't have to stick with a service you hate doing, and you don't have to do one type of gig. As long as you are willing to put in long hours looking for that perfect oppertunity, and you are willing to treat working online as a business you can find the gigs that work for you. At first it will pay just a few pennies. You may even ask yourself, why am I doing this. Then you will work yourself up to more and more money. You will have to try new programs and eliminate those that aren't working for you, and eventually you will hit the jackpot and have a schedule worked out that makes you money and allows you to pay the bills.

The problems begin when you have a need to make money now and not the time and energy to work a job to pay the bills and work online to try and grow a business. There is no doubt that finding gigs online to pay the bills and take care of you in your old age is a lot of work and doing it while working a full time job can be near impossible. If you decide to try it, be patient. Remember that it is slow work figuring out what can make you money and what can't. It is trial and error and some days the errors feel bigger then anything else.

Also remember, while I compare it to starting a home business or a self employed situation, I don't think you should ever pay to get involved in something. It is way too risky. If you think it sounds good, research it. If anyone says anything bad about it, I would avoid it! Good Luck!
