There is no doubt in my mind that you can make money online, from home at your computer. I have done this very thing several times, and I have hired people to work at home for me. There are millions of people out there who use their computer everyday to write their own paycheck. You too can be one of these people working from home and earning lots of money.
The easiest way to get started making money online is probably by selling products on Ebay. I have a former co worker who used to make thousands of bucks a day by going to garage sales around town and buying things and then listing them on ebay. He found things he could sell for hundreds of dollars. Now he was a former antique dealer so he knew what to look for, but I bet someone could duplicate his success.
I want to warn everybody right now there are a lot of places out there that advertise if you download their program you will make thousands of dollars. Look for sites that match people to opportunities, not sites offering software or something like that. Most of these companies make their money off their software, not the job you will be doing for them. Some will just take your money plain and simple.
You can always go to elance or getafreelancer.com and find some opportunities. The thing here is you need to spend your time doing the work and looking for your next opportunity. There are people on there that will pay you to write articles about a certain topic, if you have computer skills they will pay you to design a program for them. There is a lot of website design and other jobs available there.
The best opportunites are those where employers actually hire people to work from home. There are a lot of companies out there who do that. If you go to the Legit Online Jobs site and pay the monthly subscription they keep a very accurate up to date database of who is hiring people to work out of their house. This can be sales, transcription or just data entry.
