Question Make $$$$ on net

anyone know of anyways i can make money on the internet or from my home using my computer without much work, or with relative ease. Without pornographic material of course anyways, and not illegally. But of some way I can make money with ads maybe, or something. Anyone got any cool easy ways? I guess i'd just rather do the lazy method if possible than actually get a job. Maybe I should just get a job, but i really don't want to. So yeah, someone give me some ideas, plz. Thanks.

Nugget_Of_Joy,

I made a few bucks with my digital camera and scanner. Scanned pictures of the local's kids and printed frameable copies. etc.
Get the idea?

how about doing a search on monster.com ?
hard to suggest anything without knowing your qualifications...
finding a job online or using your computer is a great idea...
I use mine everyday to design (to build) and to advertise furniture.

Nugget_Of_Joy,

I reread my post and apparently it can be taken a number of different ways. I will explain further.
I have grand-kids and take alot of pictures of them. I email alot of them around the country to Aunts and Uncles and other relatives.
Another thing I do is try to restore old photos. Get rid of tears and smudges, etc.
Well, word got around the neighborhood and the next thing I know, people want pictures taken of their children, whole family photos and many old family photos restored. I print them out for them and they are happy with the result.
I've made some money doing that and my only expense has been glossy or matte photo paper and extra ink for the printer.
I hope this explains it better as I didn't mean anything other then to give you an idea of different ways to make some extra money with your pc.

Carl

Kubie-
it's a great idea. I've made a little extra $$ on the side doing similar photo editing...a neighbor had an old photo that was stuck to a piece of glass in a frame that was broken. it was the only picture she had of her sister...thank God for Photopaint!!
(we all knew what you meant.... -1)

the neighbor once asked me to "unfreeze" her pc. her pc must have been a cheapo. it was dell. the keyboard didnt have the set keys like inster-home-end-delete,so i couldnt ctrl-alt-del. i unplugged the pc and turn it back on. yikes, the system had tons of background program (kazaa bogs download the pc real bad). Ran msconfig/startup and in a couple of minutes,the pc wasnt freezing,which she claimed that it tends to happen every45minutes. she told me that she had to pay 80$ for a techinican to come loook at it last night..but that bi--- didnt pay me..!!

the moral is you can probably work at local computer shop. maybe have them call you home,and you go to other ppl's houses and fix computers.

maybe if you are lucky,you may do netmeeting/remote assistance.

I knew what you meant Kubie,
I think you idea was great; I've been restoring family photos and the like recently...
Nugget of Joy,

Maybe you can set up a service-related website, i.e. repairing people's PC etc., on geocities (Its free) and all would be good. All you have to deal w/ geocities is the banner ad, and yo an extent you can control what the ad says.
And theres always HotJobs or Monster.com...

Hope That Helps,
-Joe

Some posts need to be taken with a grain of salt.

I dont understand that phrase. They said it on the news yesterday about al qaida claiming responsibility for the blackouts.

It means that a statement someone has made is best not taken as either a true or good statement.
True here referring to the Al Qaeda statement.
'nuff said.

Just saw this a few minutes ago- Freeware to set up a money making website.... Hey - who knows ?
http://download.com.com/3000-2125-10...l?tag=lst-0-15

PS: I just went back and looked at this - looks like a scam- like all of the 'make money on the web' come ons. Beware !

I've said nasty things to someone on another board kind of like what whatshisname might have said. I never saw his comments. I think there is a quick urge to think the worst of people sometimes.

I once made a little money on a website that paid for clicking on other websites but it closed down. The only way I know of is to make webpages for someone. If you are good at that people might pay. I'm not that good and never tried it.
