Making Money On Line

I have tried numurous products and spent countless amounts of time and money trying to find a way to make money on line, from my home.  Yes I found ways to do this. Anyone with a computer and a credit card can.  However, they have not proven to be very proffitable.  One way I found is a system where you have to spend money to create websites that sell online only products for a very high price. (a cookbook for 49.95 that you have to print yourself and looks like something my 10yr old daughter put together).  There is no way I am associating my name with something that steals peoples money like that. They step you thru building a website. Again here you have to pay more to buy domain names, paypal accounts, ect.  Then they take you thru how to build the site THEY choose for you.  No thank you.  I am back to the drawing board.
