Pay per email, pay per click via email, paid survey, or websurf/click on ads ( which defrauds advertisers by the way)and the rest of the garbage you see is not going to make you any real money. The only way you would make anything decent is to get hundreds of people to sign up under you. Just mouse over deathbringers links up there and you will see he has refferal code in each one of those links. This way if you did sign up you would be making him money.

There are ways of making an income online but contrary to all the spammers and scamers it does actually take work. First you have to look if you have any marketable skills. Graphics design, html, programming, database, et cetera. There is much work out there for freelancers with skills. Take a look at the freelance sites out there and you can see what people pay for.

If you don't have any marketable skills you can look into selling as an affiliate marketer. This is commission based work selling other companies products.

Depending on the company they may give you your own website. However, if you can not map your own domain to it this will be very hard to market. You could create your own website to facilitate the sale of product(s) your viewers would be interested in or if you had a popular site you could sell advertising.

You could create PPC ad campaigns to sell products for your affilates. You will need some startup capital for any advertising campaign and you would need to research the product(s) and keywords or you can easily spend far much more in advertising then you make in sales.

You could look into getting involved with buying your own products at wholesale and creating your own store on ebay or your own e-commerce based website. If you don't want to take the time to get a business license or deal with wholesale you could try working with a drop ship company. However, with drop ship make sure you do research on the company before hand or you can run into problems down the road.

You could go to thrift stores and purchase items on the cheap and resale them on ebay. I had a friend that used to go to four thrift stores a week buying up all their "concert" t-shirts at 25-50 cents and sold them on ebay for $5-$15.00. This made him a considerable amount of money per year.

No matter what you do it will take work and dedication. Do NOT fall for the false claims of easy money, or the sites that say they will give you work but you must send them money for their "information packet" or some other line of garbage. Scams, Scams, Scams.

You definitely know what you're talking about, Shelly. Been there done almost all those things and found out there is no easy answer. If it sounds too easy, it's a scam!

Thank you for this great information. I hope you make some money for it somewhere. People are dying for some simple knowledge of this caliber when they are just starting out.

Try to run your own web-site and when you will have more than 1000 visitors per day you can sell your web-site space for the banners. It could be even your own blog.
Oh, you can also register in affiliate programs. I have one registrations like this. I am working with Fastnext.com it is a web-hosting provider. Oh, if you follow the link:
http://secure.Fastnext.com/affil/
you will help me to earn my money in internet :))) Thanks everyone who will click it :))
However, it is simple and you can do it by yourself. you can email me. I believe, we will find something for you :)

Hm... scamming people for money by making them pay for the priviledge of knowing you scam people for money. Cute.
That is douchebaggery in the extreme.

Forbes.com is a really good place to check out Home Based Businessses. Most of anything you find on the net is B.S. After you find a business on Forbes or not check them out at the BBB.com.

I'm not as funny as others, but the best way is to sell great solutions to problems.

You can sell ebooks, audio and video courses or both.

Anyway it takes time to create and market products.

Also you need experience in copywriting, marketing, and tech stuff. Or you can hire someone.

Yes, quite a bit actually. Raiding yard sales for stuff to put up on ebay has turned into a profitable hobby for me.
