life help: What do you like best about being online? - Help.com

What do you like best about being online?

Well, I’m sorry — sort of a trick-question, because the thing I REALLY want to know about is what you enjoy doing online THAT SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT PAY FOR.

… and I think bogus “pay to read” or pay to surf” programs do not count — I know these schemes exist, but they are actually harming people more than they are helping them. I mean: if you said you enjoy selling illegal stuff online, well I just not interested in that. But I’ll tell you what: Ill set up an extra category called “other (risky business)” so you can select that option if you enjoy making money by pushing the limits of what is “allowed” — does that sound fair?

OK, so here’s what I’ve come up with:

You must be logged in to vote:
  1. writing (english)
  2. writing (other languages)
  3. artwork (graphic design)
  4. artwork (other)
  5. other creative work (like music)
  6. software / web developer / programming
  7. layout / web design
  8. customer service (english/web)
  9. customer service (english/telephone)
  10. customer service (other languages/web)
  11. customer service (other languages/telephone)
  12. customer service (other)
  13. data analysis + research
  14. entrepreneur (start new businesses)
  15. other (risky business)
  16. other (please explain in comments below)
  17. can’t decide :S

Note also that if even if you’re not doing this now, I would appreciate it if you would respond and say what you thing might be the most fun thing to do using the internet (or maybe even a cell phone?)

Thanks! :D

NOTE: there are some abusive comments below that have been reported — please try to not pay attention to these, as they are “off topic”, and I expect they will be removed shortly. Thanks! :)

I’m a bit of a programmer, but I’d say my works are primarily free and humanitarian in nature.

Don’t think so not into polls. For some reason you remind me of someone else that used to post on here under a different name about a year ago. Most if not all of the posts where about making money on the Internet and his websites. Not sure if he was banned or just moved on or made a new account. Just a thought. Hope this helps :-)

LMAO! Your not the only post that I respond to (don’t try to play the victim) And I did answer your question with my answer. I don’t do polls, as for what was stated after that is not taking it off topic its just a statement. These are not private conversations there open to the public and any user of this site. Remember any post that you make can be responded to by any user and its not harassment. If you don’t want the answers don’t post. Its that easy. Hope this helps :-)
