wat do u do with ur 12 hrs? Browse porn? Stare at the screen and bat your eyelashes?

Seriously though, if you are browsing the internet for 12 hrs and it isn't for the purpose of earning a living, I think something is wrong somewhere. What could you do? Worse case, you could chat with people unknown, tout your talents and hope that someone takes the bite.

wow! 12 hours. That's half a day. Time is money man. Spending that much time online should equate to that much money too.

Good luck!

@tobaaro

my point is, "An idle mind is the devil's workshop". Sooner or later, the very things he is trying to avoid will be very things he gets involved with. 'nuff said.

Are you still hissing now?

Hi when i say 12hrs i mean 12hrs of daytime and sorry porn is not my catch which is for mere men who are tripped by it. This is a forum i believe should guide and advise and that is why i asked the question.

wow! 12 hours. That's half a day. Time is money man. Spending that much time online should equate to that much money too.

and that is why i am asking for your ideas if any. thanks

@luvus

at this time, other than ask you to hustle for web jobs, I have no advice with respect to your situation.

I do have a question though: must you make money from just the web? What of other ventures (farming, writing, establishing a store/restaurant, etc)? I blv there is a member here, Afam, who also sells Inverters. So you see, you don't have to waste away figuring out how to make money online, legitimately or otherwise.
As the Bible says, Man must not live by bread alone. The web isn't for everyone.

Please don't mistake my words for discouragement. I personally prefer to tell people what they need to hear (which is what I have just said) as opposed to what they want to hear (which is, "nna, there are so many ways to make money online"wink.

Again, the web isn't for everyone. If nothing is forthcoming, look to do something else.

I agreed with @yawa-ti-de about webmaster job is not for everyone! There are something 12 hours a day you can think of. Look at me!!!

I run my small web graphic designing business but i have other freelance careers to do: consultant, office administration support, and computer troubleshooting/repair.

I sometime do taking odd jobs as needed basis to cover my cost of living expenses when other fall or no line up projects to do from clients who need my services.

I am jane of all trades: marketable transferable positions i am excel with. Don't have to be webmaster, web developer, or web designer, there are many jobs available out there that is combination of computer/applications proficient and web/graphic guru skills.

Like @yawa-ti-de has said it all:

--bloggers
--graphic designers
--web content editors
--copywriters
--market promoters/advertisers
--stock traders
--web consultants
--construction criticizers
--proofreaders
--internet educators
--artists
--forum administrators
--writers/journalists
--video gaming programmers
--cartoon/animators
--internet researchers
--email readers
--internet survey specialists
--many many more computer-related field out there,

BE CREATIVE, PASSIONATE ON SOMETHING YOU ARE GOOD AT IT THAT MAKE AUDIENCES COME BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN!

LOL, good one.

Being in the states though, I am sure it is possible to find a multitude of things to do as the jobs, even if it means washing dishes at the local McDonald's for minimum wage, are there. In Nigeria though, it is quite different. Many atimes you are lucky to find a job.

Be that as it may, as we have both stated, there are tons of things to do. Worse case, if we can't find a job working for someone, we can discover our hidden talent and use that to employ ourselves.
