The pre-packaged and get-rich-quick "guaranteed money-making Internet opportunities" are usually either scams or slightly dishonest, particularly the ones you get in spam.

You CAN make good money on-line, but it doesn't happen quickly, unless you are extraordinarily lucky, and it takes hard work, unless you cheat (usually the cheating ends up blowing up in your face). And, you need to keep working at it, consistently, day-after-day and week-after-week, because it will get out of date or someone else will do something better and you'll go out of business.

The good news is that it is usually something that you can start and run part time, while your real job pays the bills.

Some options that work:

* If there is something you are really interested in - passionate about, even - learn as much about it as you can, and build a Website to share your information. The more specific, the better (maintaining excellent soccer fields in the northwest part of the U.S.A., for example). If your site is good and you keep adding to it (how to repair the field after a big storm has hit, reviews of different grass seed types), you can build up a lot of traffic. If you have good traffic numbers or the "right traffic" (all the people who run soccer fields in the Northwest) you'll attract advertisers - grass seed companies, manufacturers of mowers and field striping equipment, etc. With advertisers, you have revenue.

* An eBay business if you have access to nice things to sell, and you do it carefully. Read a couple of RECENT books about how to do it (I think there's a Dummies Guide to Selling on eBay, but it may be out of date), and get started. If you are methodical and ethical, you can make money at it.

* You MAY be able to charge people for access to your information, if it is truly unique and important to some relatively large group or to a small group with lots of money to spend. You can make $1,000,000 selling 1,000 items that cost $1,000 each or 1,000,000 items that cost $1 each.

* You MAY be able to write e-books to sell on a Website. You may even be able to sell you e-books on Amazon and other outlets. But, it takes a good e-book, VERY good marketing, and lots of experience.

Be sure to resist the temptation to "borrow" the content of someone else's Website! Copyright laws DO apply to Web content, regardless of what anyone may have told you to the contrary. And you can be liable for triple damages and attorney's fees if they find you and come after you. And you WILL lose the Website because the hosting company will be required by law to take it off line, and you could lose the domain name, too, if a court decides that you've no right to it.

Most of these don't cost anything significant up front to get started. If you decide to do a Website, you'll need it "hosted" somewhere, but you can get that for $25/month at most. You may need to buy software, etc.

I know you can make money from advertisers off a Website because I do it. I'm not rich, but I'm making more money than I did in my last job. And, I am sure enjoying my life a whole lot more.

It isn't easy, and it isn't usually very quick, but you can make it work - if you work at it.

Good luck!

No, get off your a** and get a real job. All the Internet jobs are scams unless you are a computer expert.

You can spend time answering questions and actually get paid for it. The only problem is that you might get paid $5 for 1,000 questions.
