There is no such thing, unless you want to sell your crap on e-bay or craigslist. All of these online “jobs” either will scam out by making you pay some sort of fee OR you will have to work your tail off only to earn a mere fraction of minimum wage.

Ryan is right. You could sell your possessions on Ebay or a similar trader site, or create your own website. You may need a few business classes or read some books on business to assist yourself in management.
You could go into web design, which would require either a lot of work learning software or some classes and/or good design books.
Another way is a bit risky and requires a bit of startup and knowledge but eTrade is a good one if you know what you are doing. Go to the library and take out “Investing for Dummies” (no offense, I actually owned the book once) to read up on what trading is about. Keep in mind the investment risk, start out small to gain ground and familiarity and go from there. Please be careful and if you bottom-out, don’t blame me. 
It was just a suggestion with caution.
But as said already, most of the sources for making money online are scams if they don’t appear to take any work for the money.
Good luck!!

You need to develop your own scam and put it on the internet and scam others out of their money. That’s the only way to make money on the internet.

There are plenty of ways to make money online, there are a lot of scams as well. If they tell you you will get rich quick run away, never give out your info either. But here is the news most people don’t want to hear, like any business online business takes time, effort and learning, you can never become successful or get rich by not working hard sorry. People who say everything online is a scam usually can’t put in the time or effort so they ride everything as a scam. Use common sense and you won’t get scammed. If you need cash sell some stuff on ebay.

Don’t listen to the people who say there is no such thing…I’m so tired of hearing that. What they should be saying is there’s no such thing as online jobs for lazy people! If you are actually willing to work, you can make money online. But you won’t get filthy rich doing it. It should be done just for extra money. Here’s some things to consider:
Write articles. If you’re a decent writer you can publish articles to places like eHow, hubpages and associated content. They will PAY you based on number of views, link clicks and etc. It’s free to do, you just have to be really good at it!
Text Message Answering Services: These services pay you to answer questions that customers text in. It costs nothing to start, but you have to pass a test to get hired. Check with chacha.com or kgb.com. I used to do this before I started writing and made $900 one month. Those results aren’t typical though…I type very fast.
eTutor: You can tutor children online with an online tutor service like tutor.com. Again, it’ll cost you nothing but some actual work. Online tutors make very good money.
I’ve got a bunch more ideas where those came from. I’ve been working online full time for YEARS. The secret is to diversify your efforts and try different things until you find what’s best for you. If it’s free to start, why not at least try? But don’t ever pay to work for anyone else. ALL of those are scams.

Yes, there is. If you look at the right websites. I’m using a GPT site. I’ve been through so many, but found one that was very legit. With this site, you won’t be many hundreds of dollars a week or anything like that. It’s money at least. I’ve used this site for about 4 months now have made over $200. I know it’s not like having a job, but it puts a little money in your pocket here and there. All you basically do is click links, do surveys and play games. That’s all you do. Try it out if you wish. All you have to do is sign up and confirm your email:

Here’s 10 real free ways to make money online:

There IS a such thing. It’s just that it’s so rare to find one that isn’t a scam. I have though.
Have you ever heard of Swag Bucks? It’s an online search engine. Each time you make a search on it, you may be randomly selected as a winner of a few Swag Bucks. You can then redeem those bucks for gift cards, music, clothes, trading cards, DVDs, video games and systems, iPods, etc.
You can sign up for free using my referral link, and I’ll even start you off with 3 complimentary swag bucks:
I was SO convinced that this was a scam at first, but after doing more research and talking to a few people about it, I realized it was legit. People have posted YouTube.com videos of them unboxing their prizes and have taken pictures and posted them on flickr.com to prove that this is real.
If you are still skeptical, you can sign up with no risk. Just put in a fake name, address, and email. Once you are sure you aren’t being scammed, you can edit your information in your profile to get your prizes. It doesn’t even ask you for a credit card number, or charge a fee for signing up. These are all good signs that this website is not a scam. Plus, this means you aren’t risking losing any money.
The only catch that I’ve found so far is that it takes a while to earn enough Swag Bucks to get something really good. But I can’t complain since this is all free. If you have any questions, feel free to click my profile and email me for help.

What can this survey site do for you?
Through this survey site, you can earn money in many ways. These can be done through referring people, participating in contests and completing offers without having to spend a single cent. All you need to do is click the link to join Cashle, and you can start getting paid daily without leaving the comforts of your own home.
