As I have posted in the past, 90% of all work from home opps are a
scam, and try to get you to pay for something in advance. A few are
whats called Virtual Jobs, such as the ones in TheLadders.com, BUT
these require almost 90% travel. That's fine if you don't have a
family or a real life. The key to generate side income, and maybe,
if your lucky and good at getting the word out, is in affiliate
programs. I just joined one and it has already started drawing a
little cash.

You can join for free, especially if you are a business person, with
some type of pre-existing traffic, store or online. Go to
315Auctions.com and check it out. It is kind of an auction/lottery
concept. You can become an affiliate for free and if you want to use
a name like YOUR-AREA-CODEAuctions.com, like 315Auctions.com, we can
set up a site and the name for $50, one time fee. So in Central New
York the area code is 315, hence 315Auctions.com. These auction
sites are addicting to people.

Another one in CNY is 315VoiceMail.com where you can become an
affiliate for free.

Disclosure: I own both these 315 sites mentioned here.
