I post in a lot of forums that I don't get paid for.  It's great to be in an interest group that sincerely interests you!  I have gardening groups and paranormal groups that I take part in.  Always things to learn from others in the field or with different experiences and it's great to read and share all the information!

I spend my time online mostly shopping, looking for products and even writing reviews. I also like to join in with some online chat, I used to play bingo but did not win very much.

My favorite way to spend my online time is usually searching on video sites like Youtube and Dailymotion to entertain myself. You can basically find a video about anybody or anything on these sites so there  leaves little reason to even watch regular T.V anymore. Especially with the fact that some of these video sites broadcast live. An example would be NBC Olympics.

Well I can't say I spend my time in any one area of the Internet.  I seem to bounce around.

I have about 15 websites I keep up and slowly add to daily when possible.  I am always working the forums finding new link partners and projects to work on that will hopefully produce enough cash to make this a full time job for myself.  And of course I hate to admit it but I also waste a little time on my space and you tube, not daily but maybe once a week or so.

Other than that I am always trying to find a new way to make my time on the Internet profitable and fun.  If you guys have any good ideas for me, “I am all ears”.

I am an absolute myspace freak!
Apart from that, I have lately been spending a lot
of time on a site called slicethepie.

It's a music review site, where you earn
about six cents (american) per song you review.

It's a lot of fun, though you have to really
be patient to find the proverbial needle in
the haystack of mediocre music.

I play at Yahoo games Pyramids or at  ArcadeTown The Black Knight. I also read news online. I like to hang out at the crafters forums and get ideas.
 Its just plain fun with so much you can do online.

I mostly use it to push my writing career forward.  However, I also enjoy my email and My Space along with our local newspaper website.

I spend most of my time online playing games.  I play World Of Warcraft, Counterstrike 1.6 and sometimes Call Of Duty 4.  Most of the time I'm playing World Of Warcraft.

I spend most of my day at work writing on forums. I am on quite a few boards and really enjoy it. That is one of the main reasons this seemed like a good part time income!

Its hard to say, I really like looking through webmaster forums online such as Digital Point to see what I can find about business practices and other online success stories, but I also love web designing. I think I might start a business in web design if the market still needs it. ;)

I spend most of my time making money with some sites, as well as posting on forums. While I am not doing this, I play flash games as they are fast and easy to play... Sometimes I also chat with other people too

I'm a freelance writer, so I spend almost all day every day on the computer, but it's predominantly work. I wish I had more time to throw more gaming or just socializing in there. Maybe when my little girl is a bit older...

I have a permanent column in a finance/investment magazine and the deadlines are killers. I have two contracts with online content providers and the amount of stuff they expect churned out is sometimes insane. I write/submit general stuff to whatever other publication I can find. I do some paid blogging. And I do some paid forum posting.

Whatever it takes to keep the mortgage paid and the bills covered so I have a roof over my daughter's head.

On the bright side - I seriously love being able to work from home full time. Definite benefits. I wouldn't give it up for anything.
I'm not deliberately trying to be late with jobs - I'm just on a different time zone to everyone else GMT +9.30 - this means you're snoring when I'm working!

I too am a freelance writer. I have been posting regularly on www.hotcouponworld.com for two years. It is a very large forum but has a very welcoming atmosphere. We cover a variety of topics including; couponing, sales, health issues, financial recommendations, economical and personal issues to name a few. It was actually on Hot Coupon World that I learned about paid posting.

I would have to say that my favorite way to spend time online is reading and posting. While I do appreciate the financial aspect of paid posting, I have been posting for years just for the shear pleasure of community posting. I enjoy meeting people online and talking about a variety of interest. Yes, I do enjoy playing the arcade games on the forums that I post on that have them. However, I am only able to spend a limited time playing arcade games.

Although if the forum I am posting for is new and needs some players to help build up their arcade, I am happy to help. I do try to write intelligent well-written post for each forum that is utilizing my services. I thank you for your consideration and look forward to helping out any way I can.

My favorite way to spend time online is by researching for articles I'm writing for pay.  I write articles for a site on the net on a daily basis so it's necessary to always be studying what's new and correct facts about stuff so my articles are fresh, yet accurate.
