When I think of "passive income", I think of something that doesn't take any effort but still makes money. Have you ever heard the phrase, "nothing in life comes free"? It's so true! Let the buyer beware!

I've tried mostly all the con games, trying to make money from home on the internet. I've invested so much money, it isn't funny. I should say I've LOST so much money! My most recent fiasco cost me over $100. I can't afford it either, since I'm living on child support and caring for my elderly mother. I wanted so badly for a work at home venture to succeed that I believed them when they said I'd make money. There was a money back guarantee, so I thought "why not?" Well, now they are giving me problems getting my money back and I may never see it. I guess I may have to just chalk it up to a lesson learned well!

There are no easy ways to make money. There are certainly NO passive ways to make money. In order to make money, you have to work, and it's that simple. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking you are going to sit back and watch the bucks roll in, because it just isn't going to happen!

If you really want to start a home business, I would suggest thinking of things you like to do and find something you could do at home. There are pet sitting businesses, pick-a-poop business (my own little choice name for the service of getting rid of the dog feces in yards) and other such jobs pay really well. I just wanted to stress that you cannot really make money online doing nothing. I'm done spending money trying to make money online. It doesn't work and I know it now. I've learned my lesson well!
