There are many ways to use the internet at home to make money. Anything from buying stuff at pawn shops etc and selling it on ebay, to selling website design, making a popular website and selling advertising on it, or selling it to Rupert Murdock (Tom from myspace is a multimillionaire now, after all) There really aren't any "just go to this website and do what we say and you'll make tons of money" things that aren't just an email scam.

Yes, but there are real requirements. You can be a web designer and work from home, but it requires great creativity skills and effort and knowledge of job.Similarly there are many other jobs that can be done from home, but you need to fulfill the requirements, like any other thing.

The answer is yes. Quite a few. The most popular is medical billing. Unfortunately most of these business require a college education and/or some investment. There quite a few home based businesses that you can try also. Stay away from the flashy make 5.00 dollars per envelope ones. I have a list of quite a few that I have used. I too few victim of these scams when i first started. It takes allot of research and time to find a legitimate company.
