I'm interested in finding different ways to make income from home, not sure where to start again since I have been scammed quite a few times. I use to like writing, but when I try to start writing I get a writers block. I have also done survey sites but only been able to make very little money. My goal is to find something or somethings that I can generate at least a 1000 a month. I also thought about getting into affiliate marketing but I'm curious as to how much money can someone really make off of doing that. I know that what ever I decide to get into will involve work, because nothing in life is easy and if you really want something you really need to put your all into it. What are the ways you make money and have you been really successful at it?

Hey There,
I am new to this site and have similar goals which is to be able to work from home. Have you signed on to Helium, Ehow, or Associated Content with your writing? I am glad that I stumbled upon this site. I am curious how they much, and how they pay us bloggers for each transaction as it states. But hey, you have to start somewhere and pennies make dollars. I am doing my homework too. I am hearing that the affiliate programs are paying pennies. I don't know, haven't tried them yet. And yes, you do have to be careful. What companies scammed you? I Will keep ya posted on whatever I find out that will be helpful and please do the same.

There are many good sites that pay every time you reach their payout minimum. In some cases the earning is a bit slow, but like you said, pennies turn into dollars and eventually into a check or a Paypal payout.
I'm a member of AC and while I don't get the chance to submit as often as I like, I still earn a performance payout every month (or every other month) Sometimes my articles are accepted for an Upfront payment, other times they are only eligible for the performance payments.
The affiliate sites I've been a part of are hit & miss. I've had okay months, followed by months of nothing. I'm still looking though and hope to eventually find one or two that will allow me to start making decent money on a consistent basis.
If you're interested in any links to the sites I use that pay, let me know...

If it is just a job to do for just a few hours a day then you won't get anything near $1000 a month. As you said in the opening of your post, you've been scammed quite a few times, so you should have learnt a few things by now and know what to avoid. As they say if it seems to good to be true then it is.
Why not go for a proper full time job outside of the house and then do surveys sites etc to earn a bit of extra money. The survey sites alone won't earn you $1000 dollars a month but you might get near that with a full time job.
Let us know how you get on.

I have to wait till my kids go back to school, because the child care costs are so high now a days that most of my income will go straight to pay for child care. So now I'm trying to check out all different ways so that I can try to have multiple streams of income that it would all add up to that 10000 amount.

Its not so easy to earn from internet as people think. You have to be very sharp minded to earn. You will find most of the webs as scams which will never pay even a single penny. The best idea is to do some research on your own and try to find the genuine sites. Never believe on others if someone says that this site is the best because he / she is doing that just for the web publicity called referal and nothing else. But he / she also doesnot know that he / she is also getting fooled by that scam website.
Best it to do a self research before entering into any paying site

Hi liacay,
I have found in my opinion (and a couple thousand others) the best on line business to get into. Yes it will take some work, and no it won't happen overnight. But you sound sincere in saying you really want to put your heart into something. With this you can start making some up front cash while building your business. There is plenty of people there, friends and partners that are more than willing to help you out. I have only been in it a couple months and I am already seeing the growth. Add me as a friend and pm me for more details.
Looking forward to working with you,
Steven Shirey
