Some ideas to earn extra money:
1. Tutoring students
2. Using skills you have
3. MLM businesses
Personally, I find that an internet business is an easy way to create a passive income because:
1. Requires small to zero capital
2. Gets started right away and easily
3. Allows you to work from home or anywhere in the world as long as there is an internet connection
4. Has unlimited potential to earn money
5. No age or education requirements
6. Doesn't need you to have to have a company
What you need to do is to learn about the internet business as much as possible to discover whether it is for you and what your strategy is. There is free information around.
Good luck.

Stephanie,
First, let me explain something about business and a free market economy. What you are asking to do is called "arbitrage". This is when you get something for a certain price and sell it to another person with out adding any value. These types of business opportunities exist but only in short periods of time. What happens is your customers find out they can buy the same thing without your mark up and they go direct.
Thus, even with a job, what people or businesses purchase is value. When you have a job, you are trading your time and skill set to provide a certain value to a company. When a business sells products to people or other businesses they are actually putting value in to the products and this is what people or businesses pay for. The value in the products.
A couple of quick examples: You (as a business owner) buy in bulk (take risk) and then sell the products in smaller quantities to individuals. The risk you are taking is that you can sell all of the products you buy.
A second example is with a service like Carpet Cleaning. People purchase carpet cleaning services because they want a good job done (experience) and they don't want have to purchase the expensive equipment or take a chance at renting the machines. Also, maybe their time is more valuable spent doing other tasks. So, the purchase the value of having someone from an experienced company come and clean the carpets.
So, anytime you hear about "free money" or "easy idea" be assured that there is a trick or scam to this. Take a look at each idea and see if you can tell what value there is in the deal. Like doing surveys. At max, you'll spend about 30 minutes of your time to complete the surveys. What is 30 minutes of your time worth to them? I can tell you. My wife spends time doing surveys and she get's about $20 every other month. Not MUCH!!
Don't get pulled into the scam of making money with out money. It takes real value to make money.
Good Luck!!!!

1: If ANY website promises to make money FOR you, it is designed to make money OFF you.
2: A JOB does not require you to have money to work.

You can make money on the internet doing surveys and 'get paid to' sites that are absolutely free. Check out http://likefreemoney.blogspot.com/ for my favorite sites that really pay.
