How can a person make honest money online and make sure that the sources are real?

make sales, make place for ads, or make content. That's all big selling online really entails. There are lots of small earners like survey sites, cashback sites, blogs etc but really you want to start small and work up.

Google is crap at selling there paid products are crap but they make 97% of there money from the advertising model they have.

Answerbag, Yahoo, Facebook and almost all other high user sites make a place for ads and generate revenue that way.

There are I just haven't found it yet but I'm looking

There's no simple trick to make money online. Create a website or blog that would interest people and place some ads from Google AdSense. Although ad revenue from small sites is rather minimal, it's still money.

It took me hours to complete the Alpine Access job application, then they rejected me anyway.

generally you have to spend money to make money.
www.forex.com will teach you how to spend money to make genuine money. but it takes work.

I have yet to find one that I don't have to pay for first or bog down my computer with their pop ups and crap.

they can't, the internet is one big scam, thats what it was designed for

I earn an extra income doing freelance work on oDesk, and the source must be real and good, as it's working for me!

Having you own website selling a product or service is another option. Surf lots of sites and get ideas about what you can do from home, that you can sell online.

Make a genuinely useful product yourself and sell it online. There are a million little mom and pop businesses online selling everything from cloth diapers to antiques. But don't expect to make money for doing nothing. That kind of expectation makes you an easy target for con men.

You could buy textbooks from students and sell them on Amazon.com.

I was a ChaCha guide for a bit. It's a reputable, honest to goodness, work-from-home, at your own schedule, computer based source of income.

By referell of somebody you know, or simply by trying out the free ones until you find one that pays off. I make some extra cash by blogging with yovia, not much but more than nothing =)

If you have any traveling experiences, there are a few traveling websites that really pay for real per posting. It's not hard to do, just type you stories, but don't copy paste from somewhere, that's a big no-no.

2 legitimate sites that I know would be Hotelsbycity and Cosmotourist.

I do hope they still give such offer though; at least last year writers still got paid per posting. Won't hurt to contact them, I guess.

you need to sell something online that people download or gain access to secure webpages for a fee. they pay with a credit card online or over the phone. you process and put it in an off shore saving account. just for the higher interest. you need your own domain and your own server.

or there is cafepress that allows you to sell tee shirts with your own design. you could sell avatar tee shirts. each avatar is public domain. just like each comment question or answer. you might need photo shop softwear.

you can also make your own tee shirt at the hanes clothing website.

they can´t

I am not sure how you can trust anything that makes money online, but in my experience nothing that asks you to pay or promises that you will get paid bundles of cash for referring people is a scam.

Here is a listing of opportunities for bloggers http://jobs.problogger.net/

I happen to know the Yovia one pays since I have received money from them. I assume all the other offers here are legitimate as well.

Most "work from home" sites are scams. Selling items over eBay would probably be the simplest and safest, though I've dealt with scammers issuing charge-backs for items they'd received.
