And what I have described above is too good to be true. But maybe, just maybe, someone out there knows something I don't.   
  One of my ex-girlfriends fell for a scam like that. She sent £20 off for a "earn money working from home" sort of thing and got back a sheet of paper which basically said "place an advert in a magazine or newspaper saying: make money working from home", then send them a factsheet like this one.

One or two months I earned more than my monthly salary, but I am making a (low) livable wage off it - if I did this stuff full-time I think I would probably earn more than my current salary, possibly much more, but of course it is a bit risky. This was the best month when I got $5100.Oh, and I had an initial investment of $0.

Mainly it's rough because you need a good rep to get you started, as clients must place a lot of faith in you getting things done without their direct supervision.Do a search on Lifehacker for lots of articles on freelancing.   ;  The most important question is: do you have the self-discipline to avoid the 'procrastinate-all-day-in-your-underwear' monster?
