Any legitimate work online jobs?

Yes, indeed, there are many different types of online jobs, some need investment, and some don't. Writing has been my hobby since my college years, and is still is. Of course, there are many sites offering online writing work. One of my favorites is "Review Stream", where one can write brief reviews on a variety of topics, and get paid once the review submitted is accepted.

I have tried a few things, but am yet to see any scheme that results in any kind of decent money. You can make a couple of dollars posting on My Lot but certainly I don't think you can make enough money to live on.

I use several different sites that make me a decent amount of money each month. One site that I use that makes me a decent income is associatedcontent. They pay members to write articles for them. I have several other sites that I use as well. If you are interested there are several banners on my mylot profile page that link to articles that I have written on how to make money online and other sites that I use. Good luck! :)
