While there are a lot of opportunities to legitimately make money online, there are a lot of scams.

It is possible to make money online. I have never personally known anyone to get rich quick, but there are opportunities out there to make a decent amount. The first thing that you need to do is to identify your skills, and to be able to determine what you think you would be successful at doing. Working at home online can be a difficult task because you have to be dedicated to your work and be able to keep on a schedule.
Lets take for instance that you enjoy writing or blogging. There are a number of websites available that will allow you to make an income online writing for them. The different types of work vary greatly, and it all depends on what you want to do. Most websites pay out quite low for writers, but these websites are just a stepping stone to some that will offer you a lot more money. You can use these websites as an opportunity to brush up on your skills, meet fellow writers, and learn about bigger opportunities.
When looking for scams on the internet, there is really only one rule to stick to. NEVER pay money to make money. There are so many other legit companies on the internet where you can make money and it doesn't cost you a penny to join. There are so many programs that sound so good, but they are too good to be true in many cases. Start with ones that do not cost you anything, and if you feel one that may be good, wait till you are making enough money online before trying them out, in case you are scammed.
Most places that you can make money online with require you to have a Paypal account, which is like a virtual bank account. Paypal is a safe way to send and accept payments online. It is free to get an account with Paypal, and you can add your own personal bank account so that you can transfer the money you earn online to your own account. You can even get a debit card through them so that you can instantly access the money you earn.
Do a lot of research on individual websites to find out other people's experiences and see if it is a right fit for you. It is possible to make an income online, but you have to stay dedicated to your work, and not expect to become rich overnight.
