Is anyone making a living from a home based business succesfully?  

Well I wouldn't exactly call what I do a business, but I do make some money with a few sites I found. One site I do short surveys which are at a GPT (get paid to) site and another one is a paid to view videos, and two other sites I write how to articles. I dont make a whole lot but enough to pay at least one bill. Im stuck at home with a disability so I figure as long as Im on the computer why not make some money with it.

Yes , Get Paid To sites are usually the best if there are good, proper paying surveys! I collected over $6 just 1 day with a GPT site, if you are interested in joining it, i can give you more details and a link please send me a message and accept my friend request. There are no upgrades so you can't really loose money just time. Which is bad but better than being scammed by a PTC site. That can be quite annoying. These GPT sites that i have are excellent and ALL of them have Auto Pay so you get paid in like 60 seconds!
So please message me if you are interested!
It's worth the time!

Well I don’t know if you can call it a business but I use to work as a freelancer for almost two years from home and I was doing quite ok. I have a website of my own and I use to do a bit of search engine optimization for the website to get it ranked on google and use to get good response and quite a few orders.

yes, I earn some money from Affiliate Programs

none of them is free to join, but I definately earn much more than free programs like ptc sites or ptr sites.

if you have some money to invest, and would like to share information with others on web, such as mylot, I am sure you are capable of making pretty extra money with affiliate programs

if you are interested in what I am talking about, take a look on my profile. you can find the link to the program with which I am earning very much money

good luck
