I haven't. My attempts at entrepreneurship failed when my mom and I went into business this summer (an online travel business that she had to pay $280 for a starter package). A letter from the attorney general of the state of Arizona told us the business was fake and had scammed people out of millions after my mom had already talked to a PR agent and we had business cards printed. That first failure was my last failure. I had not the courage to try again in another business venture.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience in your first business venture.

However, don't let that experience stop you from trying again. Maybe it means that you have to be much more cautious next time - being sure to check out the company thoroughly before putting out any money.

Don't let those crooks make you give up your hope of starting your own business. There are plenty of legitimate opportunities out there!

Affiliate Marketing BUSINESS (business=not job, requires a lot of research to get into, guaranteed to have failures, requires a lot of work)

Selling on ebay (you can do anything from sell stuff from your room to start selling wholesale merchandise)

buying and repairing electronics/other items to sell online

building websites for other people (requires technical knowledge)

writing quality ORIGINAL articles (requires at least pretty good writing skills).  You can do this for other people, or you can go to associatedcontent and get paid that way

bookmarking people's websites with 30+ bookmarking websites, they usually get paid about $3 for it

submitting websites to web directories

graphic design for websites (website banners, headers, etc)

If you're 18+, there's a few customer service jobs and telemarketing jobs you can do from home.  They usually require and investment like a computer that meets their requirements to be used solely for this purpose, good speaking skills, quiet enviroment, etc.  They're also hard to get.

basically anything that requires technical knowledge you can get paid for online.

data entries are scams

surveys that you have to pay to get into are ALWAYS scams.  Even the ones that aren't are a waste of time or just pay rediculously low

in order to get a "free" ipod, you're going to probably have to get ripped off, or if you're lucky you'll just have to work your butt of to get it.  Its probably the first thing I mentioned

of course there's many other things I could mention.

You can loose your shirt in even stuff that's legit, like affiliate marketing, because almost every ebook out there promises "instant success", which doesn't exist.  Most online guides to anything make money is junk.  

If any of you want to know more about any of this stuff in more detail, send me a message.

I lost money online and I've made money online. The best online money maker that I have found is building a website based on something that you love. I have a site that is making good money and I only work at it part time. I think that I will eventually make enough off of websites that it will become my full time job and I'm not a tech geek.
