Can I make money using my computer? I always see ads online but don't trust too much what they say.

Never trust anything online especially if it sounds too good to be true.

You can make anything from a little to a lot of money doing one of the following:

* Develop a product or service and sell it online
* Sell products on eBay or handicrafts on Etsy
* Do freelance work with your computer via the internet

All the sites that say you can make money by filling out surveys, doing data transcriptions, sending emails, posting to blogs, etc. are worthless. As a general rule of thumb, if something doesn't require a certain level of skill, you won't make any money at it and there's a good possibility you will lose money to a scammer.

There are respectable ways tomake money on the web but you have to find out which ones with some research.
