well if you are good in programming, i know that there are people who plays on neopets , who cheat, and pays $$ for virtual fake money. as well as rare items, and accounts. it also depends on how much you want to earn.

The best way to make money is to scam other people. There are a ton of scams out there, but the ones that work best tend to be the one that convince OTHER people that they can get something for nothing / doing very little work.

If you're artistic you could also look into doing graphic design, website design, etc., but believe me, it's very hard to get paid to do this even if you're good at it.

You could also try to sell a bunch of old crap you don't need on craigslist or eBay.

Come think of it. Would buying stuff and re-selling it at e-bay would earn you any profit? EG; Buying obscure videogames from people who doesn't know their value, and then re-selling it to collectors? I've never used one of those services, so i don't know if they use commisions and similars.

eBay charges a small listing fee, I think about $0.15, and then charges more for other features like adding more pictures than the default.

If you ask me, running an eBay business where you just buy low and sell high is more trouble than it's worth. If you get into it though, you can also buy things off of woot.com and sell them for higher prices since woot.com products are usually underpriced. Just do your research first.

I'm sorry, but your options are severely limited, so it's not really possible to be entirely serious.

[]Art Skills: Deviantart.com allows you to sell prints of work, also a webcomic is not only a great source of practice, but you get to pocket ad revenue. To succeed you must be clever (though not neccessarily funny), however, and making a full living is extremely difficult.

[]Entrepreneur Skills: >>6 is right about the eBay thing, but just ripping people off because they don't know about a cheaper store is not really foolproof. So, buy local, sell global is the way most do it, or you can sell your arts and crafts in you checked the previous.

[]Writing Skills: >>5 is probably not making enough to avoid a real job, and most bloggers flood the net with crap. If you are clever or intelligent enough (or are a good rabble-rouser), you may attract a following to support you. I don't really care for this one, but ideally you could forge an Ender's Game-type situation... which makes it your only option, since you're likely eleven.

[]Sexy Beast Skills: I don't reccomend it, but you KNEW my honesty had to say it. With good photos of yourself in suggestable situations, you can join a site... and depend on sex-crazed idiots to stay afloat. Naughty... I mean, erm, bad choice.

OP here.

I gave it up making money on the internet, i'm jsut too dumb and have no skills.

Well, i still leech from my mother. So i still have internet, a place to sleep and something to eat. But for how long...

And i don't like working as a waiter for example. You get in touch with too many people and you have to put a fucking smile on your face all the time, not being able to say what you want to.

Recently i looked up into some sailing sites....
I wonder if i'm seasick. I may give it a try.
I don't care about payment as long as i don't have to pay anything myself.
Bonus: Visit some deserted islands , enjoying the sight.

  1. By up domains that are common mis-spellings of actual sites or new games or movies. Then sell adds on those pages. You won't get rich but it is a little extra income.
  2. Read allot, exercise your creativity. Eventually you will come up with a good idea. If it doesn't work you can try something else. You might be 50 years old before you have your big breakthrough, but the only way to get there is to keep trying. If nothing works try even harder.
  3. Pron. Save some start-up cash. Learn to recruit performers. the greener the better. Look at BangBros. It is not that hard. Allot of contract performers started on the internets.
