I have huge problems with time mangement.
working online at home has many advantages but with that comes many disadvantages

family dont respect ur time as ur home so they think u r there for them...not working!
friends dont take ur business as serious because u r " at home"
there are many implications when working from home weither it be part time or full time
the time thing is what I stuggle the most with

These are all of my problems too, VamPvixen. They think I am having fun or playing games with my pc. :( They always complaining about less time to talk with them or something....

Another difficulty in my online endeavor is - until today, I can't really find a good opportunity in the internet which can earn me a living. The most I can't earn now is around $200 per month. I am not saying it's too little, but....Do you think it's reasonable if we have to spend about 60 hours a month for this?

I agree with both of you, time management is very difficult. I know around here it is much the same as you described. When I get home from work I check my emails, which I also try and do before I leave for work. One of the favorites is checking in here to see how things are going and help anyone that I can.

As you mentioned, family and friends don't take it serious. They are very quick to ask for money when it comes though, that's when I don't take them serious. :lol:

As for programs that can make you a living, well that is a very touchy subject. There is so much hype out there. Sorting through all this and finding the right programs is hard I know.

I am assuming that you are using paid to surf or paid to read programs. From what I have seen and heard that takes up a lot of time and relies very heavily on having a big active downline. As you have been or are discovering it is difficult to build active downlines. Trying to find those that are willing to work at it is difficult, because most of the time they are blinded by the hype that they can make money easily with no effort on their part. That is just plain B.S. To succeed a business on the internet takes a lot of hard work and dedication, just as it does in the off-line business world. Matter of fact in my opinion it takes more to succeed on-line, because of the above mentioned factors of people not taking your business serious.

I personally don't mess with trying to build downlines any more. I instead put my time and efforts into some affiliate programs. The key to this is to find a product that you use and like. Get to know it inside and out, then refer it to others. Another way to make money is to find products that you can get resell rights to and put together several mini sites. What you need to look at is what they call building multiple streams of income. If you have several sites making some sales it can all add up to some impressive figures when things really get to clicking.

When you have a few good products or programs that you can promote, spend your time advertising them. If you find yourself having to use free advertising, it is going to take more of your time, believe me I know this to be true, as that is what I have done most of the time. Trying to get results can be very frustrating. When you begin to make a little, reinvest it in paid advertising. Pick and choose very carefully, track everything so that you know which ads are working and from what sources.

The main thing to remember, your success is not going to come overnight, unless you get real lucky and I mean real lucky. It will come if you keep working at it. There is an old saying that I use alot; "You got to believe to receive!" So keep believing in yourself and your ideals and someday you will receive. :)

I know exactly how you feel. I work from home for my marketing and writing business. I just to paid to stuff for fun and have no time for that anymore. But as for my regular business. I work probably 50+ hours a week and yet...

Well here's an example. My boyfriend will want me to do something and I will tell him I have a deadline for a client. And he will say, "you can work on that anytime just take off for now." Or people say, "you are self employed. That must be great. You can set your own hours."

Well yes in a way I can, but I still have deadlines and put in many 12 hour days and long nights.
