    I am getting quite a good money from adsense, link sales, sig sales etc. I started earning after I became member in DP. Thanks for all who contributed to enhance my knowledge.

    Nice one, my problem is that you need to earn near double because of tax.

    My sites pay for my 'stuff' (petrol, food, holidays, toys, hobbies, booze, cars etc). A mix of affiliate links, PPC ad networks, ad space sales, paid listings etc...

    My house and savings are are paid for by my real world clients (print/web stuff). If I had to pay for it all with my sites alone, it would be a stretch.

    My online adsense earnings just help in supplementing the offline earning, though it won't entirely support my life...

    I earn from my design skills. :)

    Before I even started designing I earn petty cash by posting in forums. :) It's a pretty easy thing to do, just don't post SPAM. :)

    If you don't have those skills, try to develop it. You can also earn money from forum signatures and forum posting. It doesn't require much skills.

    I earn some money from online work but it's usually my day job I rely on for my daily expenses.

    Create a website that will eventually have a large member base. Websites that get a lot of traffic can usually charge quite a bit for advertisement space.

    Sorry to hear your not well
    xxx
    Im in the same boat (resigned from my job in June this year) so can very much relate to what your going through

    Im the same as most, adsense, links. But Im trying to come up with more ideas for my own business, tried selling on ebay too but that didn't last.
    Good luck, sorry I don't have more ideas at present, if I do you will be the first I email.

    Cheers
    Sammy

    I pose as a girl in online chatrooms and talk dirty in order to get Fred to click on my affiliate adult link. I make $100 an hour doing this.

    I would recommend adsense for you.
    Can you design websites?
    Are there a few internet cafe's in your area without websites?

    If you can answer YES and NO respectively to those two questions then you have a sure way of earning with adsense. Negotiate with the internet cafe owners: ask them if you can have one of your sites as their default web address on all their computers in return for you designing and maintaining their website. Offer a limit of 7 10 pages or so with them providing domain name and hosting. Most internet cafe owners will say yest to this.

    Say for instance you have a 'games site' popping up each time a customer log on to a computer, more than likely they will want to play a game or two for a few minutes before they get down to business and chances are, they could be clicking on your adsense links.

    Cool idea, huh! Try it - it works.
