Before anyone says find a real job I have tried for the last 10 years to find a real job. And have found nothing. I have recently hurt my hip and it makes it painful to stand and I was turned away from a job for saying that. So I am looking for something at home and that can be done without time limits like 8 am to 5 pm
Your best bet is to learn to sell on ebay...other than that, there are no jobs online that can be done with no skill set.
Honestly, NO
If you have money to invest, perhaps trying to sell some things on eBay, but that is not always easy.
If you were a web site designer, but you said no skills.
I have nothing to sell on eBayQuote:

Unfortunately, you need skills to do these things. Selling on ebay is one of the more simple ways to make money online but you have to put work into it.Quote:

I've also created and ran a VERY successful online website (based on popularity and Google results, but it never paid for itself much less earned me anything.). Yet I could not manage to turn a profit online, or even make enough to pay for the cost of the website.
It sounds a whole lot easier than it is... and even WITH skills its not easy. In fact even with skills you might not even be able to do it.
You mean to say you can't even get an entry level job?
You make a lot of posts where you are always lacking funds- sheets, dogs, Christmas ornaments, stoves that don't work etc. You need some money to get started. We try to help you but you always raise objections to whatever is answered. There is no free money! I go to Garage sales and Goodwill and then repost on E-bay. Bought a very old Duck call that Goodwill thought was a kids whistle. Paid $1 sold for $29.
All your posts have had practically no details to make it easier to answer. Then you claim to be dumb (you can't use the internet and be dumb, sorry) and want your account closed or you yell at people here. You won't even bring your dog in during the winter, or for a bath, saying he's an outside dog! POOR DOG
I gave you good advice for craigslist and you just got all bent out of shape, never really giving us a clue what you had to sell other than ornaments, which can be valuable or worthless, DEPENDING.
The ONLY way you can make money online is by SELLING! There are a few skilled jobs people do at home, such as medical transcription, but only after a period of proving yourself on the job.
I sell on ebay and have made good money, but I was selling my stuff, my parents stuff after they died, and stuff for other people. It took me WEEKS to learn it, and I lost money at first. It's a never ending lesson because they keep changing rules and the market keeps changing, as well as postage prices and regulations.
If you would be more helpful by spending 3 extra minutes explaining more about each of your questions, people here would be GLAD to help you.
You have been given such good advice on all of your posts, yet you seem to find fault with everyone who tries to help. There is always a negative, or a reason why our advice doesn't help. I don't know if you are male or female, young or old. If you are here for advice, you need to stop turning down every suggestion.
As for your dog. You need to surrender it. You have no money or transportation. You leave it outside in the winter to get attacked by a shrunk (your word not mine). You are a negligent pet owner and that dog deserves a better life.
You cannot afford a $10 set of bedsheets. I don't know how you think you can afford a dog. Dog food is not cheap, nor are vet bills.
You have been given excellent advice by several members in regards to your selling of Christmas ornaments, repair of your stove, etc. ad nauseum.
No, you cannot make money via the internet without "skills." Many people do make money working at home, but they are trained in transcription, whether it be legal or medical (a dying breed), or medical billing, for example.
Our issues arise in that, not only are you derogatory to the people who try to help you, but you are also very cryptic and don't provide very much information for us to go on. It's becoming a cat and mouse game, and it is getting very frustrating.
With all of that said. It is necessary to know if you are male or female. What skills DO you possess? What is your education level? What is your age? Aside from the hip issue, do you have any handicaps?
We can't help you unless you are willing to let us help you. So far, that doesn't seem to be the case.
No one will hire meQuote:

THe standards for entry level jobs are usually extremely low. You have to be breathing. and show up on time...and do the most simple of tasks, which they will show you how to do.Quote:

If you really cared you would be making at least 8-10 applications every week at different places... not all will give you an interview... but SOME will, and even if you really blow it some of them will tell you why.
People with severe learning disabilities can find jobs. Handicapped people find jobs all the time. And its obvious you aren't a blind quadriplegic... or you would have a really good excuse. Illegals manage to find jobs really easy without even speaking the language.
Then, it's time you put together a resume.Quote:
