Lost my job, can’t find a new one, and I really need a new steady income to pay the bills before my savings account is depleted. I wonder if I ca n make money at home with my computer, can it be done? These are the questions running through my mind six months ago when I lost my business because of the mortgage industry failure.

If you have lost your job or income recently and are asking yourself “Can I make money at home with my computer” than maybe I can help answer that question for you and possibly save you some money in the process. I became unemployed in November of 2008 I spent the month of November looking for work as well as searching for an hourly paid job, the whole time wondering if I could make money at home with my computer. After wasting a lot of time and money for gas to find work or a job, (out about thirty applications I submitted I received absolutely no response) and not finding either, I decided to do a search on the internet to see if I could find some way to make money at home with my computer.

I started my search with the search term “make money with computer” to see what would come up, Boy was I shocked to see that there were 110,000,000 results and all of them claim you can turn your computer into a cash machine almost overnight. After looking into some of these I decided to narrow down my search so I did a search for “make money at home with my computer” Again a big surprise this time there were only 88,900,000 results and again all the results that I clicked on pretty much claimed the same thing, turn your computer into a cash machine virtually over night.

Now I begin to wonder if there is any truth to these claims that are saying I can make money at home with my computer, in fact some were saying I could make as much as $2000.00 a day, it all just seemed too good to be true. After looking into several of these products, most of which were downloadable PDF books, I began to spend money. The first thing I bought was a course called Online Wealth Course which claimed I would be able to make thousands a day, was it a scam? To answer that honestly I would have to say no, but, they were not telling you everything the information they did not offer was the fact that first you had to buy web hosting for a website then you had to build a website then you had to get people to your site to buy whatever it is you decide to sell (it’s refereed to as affiliate marketing, you sell other people’s product’s online).

I spent close to a thousand dollars just to find out that it could take years to get a website ranked high enough to come up on page one of search results and until then you would be lucky if you got anyone to your site at all. I also discovered that there is a lot I needed to learn if I want to make money at home with my computer and be successful at making money online. So where does one go for an education on starting and building an online business? There is only one place I found that has everything you will need to succeed at no extra cost, it is a membership site but they give you every thing you need and I mean every thing.

So, if you are serious about make money at home with my computer do your home work and do as I did spend money on a bunch of PDF books that will only give you steps you should take instead of an education, which is what you really need to start a new career on the internet.
