Isn't there any online business you can set up, generate income and pay your bills? So far, all I've encountered are links that have you shell out money in return for things to try or sell. Being one without financial backing, I was wondering whether such a site exists at all?

I am new with this stance, although I've been allover the net for a decade already but this is the first time I decided to try and look for something that can help me earn that extra cash and improve myself as well.

I am a talker via mails but never in person. Quite a downer,yes, but that also meant I'm no born seller. It must be fun to really be into something you enjoy doing!

I am also searching for the same, but it is hard to find.

There are ways to generate an income from home legitimately. You have to be very careful to avoid "get rich quick" schemes. Do research on companies that you might be interested in, and if you have a question about a company's legitimacy, bring it to the forum, chances are someone here has had some sort of experience with it, and can let you know if it's legit

theirs places out their, some times their hard to find if you dont know where to look. I made a blog about the places that paid be. Because when i was fist starting out if felt like i just kept running into scams, so know if feel like i should list the sites that do pay.

I think that your question could be looked at two ways. You actually ask about generating an online business and not just a home job. I feel that the answers till now have been focussing to much about simply generating income.

There are definitely ways to start an online business and generate income to pay your bills. It is called running a website or several websites.

That in my experience is the only true way to set up a business and pay your bills. Even beter, doing it right means residual income for life.

Unfortunately, it takes hard work, a lot of research and dedication to achieve personal success. For those who are willing to invest, it will proof extremely rewarding.

As for the following comment

"links that have you shell out money in return for things to try or sell"

I totally disagree, as an example, I personally have digged for several years to learn how it works and become totally independent. I decided to turn it into a program to help others achieve the same.

Does this mean that I should just give my knowledge away? That's a big fat NO. In my point of view, in most cases the info is worth a lot more than the owners charge for it.

This is what most people do:

Keep digging for the free stuff, waist a lot of time and in the end give up because they feel it can't be done.

"Everybody has the same choices, successful people simply proof they made the right decisions"

What jigsaw says is very ture. There are programs that you pay a one time fee for to learn how to build a business. That's OK.

There are sites that you pay a membership fee for a work at home job. Probably not ok.

There are free sites that you can make a few bucks with.

There are real home / telecommute jobs.

It all depends on what you want to do.

It takes always some work from your part to make an internet income opportunity work, you will not get rich over night just by joining a program.However, there is a fully legal and reliable global MLM program that doesn´t require any fees to start up and you will get paid a 30-50% commission for every item sold.There is a option to upgrade, and this obviously gets you more benefits.

I completely agree that you should never, ever pay someone to work for them.

I would be skepitcle of companies that require you to pay fees to join or buy kits.

Usually if you are working a "home business" of your own, you WILL have expenses. Any business requires your investment of time, money , and other resources.

You could also make money by blogging if the MLM route turns you off. There are many ways to run a business but none of the ones that are worth your time or that will produce income are free. Like someone already said, if you want to create a business and income from home, you do have to spend money.
