Need to come up with a home based source of income due to some disabilities that don't allow me to do the physical labor like I was doing two years ago.
Currently on disablity but would really like to get off it or reduce it so I'm not dependent on the government or a burden to family.
Most of the responses are about doing online surveys but it doesn't sound like a person could have a steady income doing that. What other things could be done from home?

You can go to fiverr.com and do a gig for five bucks. Whatever you think is valuable that you do. OR.
Go to fiverr.com and pick out a gig. Now take this gig and go to another website such as gigbucks. On gigbucks you can charge up to 10 dollars for a gig. With your fiverr gig rewrite that into a gigbucks gig.
Now what you have done is called arbitrage. You buy the gig from fivver and sell it on gigbucks at a higher price.
Be warned however this might make the gig creator angry at you. I don't know why they get mad, maybe it's because they didn't think about doing it first. Anyhow money is money.
Another example is buying old books from the 1950s + and selling them anywhere online. IF you can obtain old rare books.
So find something you can get CHEAP and turn around and sell it HIGHER.
NJBest: Sorry about the crack I made. Went back and re-read the first page and found your post.
I was hopeing folks might have other ideas that DIDN'T involve using a computer as I'm not very knowledgeable on how to work them. Seem to form a mental block when someone tries to explain computer stuff to me. Just can't get it. I can turn one on/off, find emails, and access the internet or do google searches but that's about it. A lot of times I come across things purely by accident and other times I screw things up so bad I have to get someone else to fix them cause I have no clue how I did what I did to screw it up in the first place
One of these days I'll do something and won't have someone nearby be to undo it and that'll be the end of my computer use altogether.
I guess I'm a dinosaur, I know I'm not a high-tech type. Still use a push-button land line. No cell phone, I-pod,I-pad or any of the other new
gadgets that are out there. Haven't had a need for any of them.
But THANKS for your suggestion!
JOKE INSURANCE: According to his post (#5 of this thread) NJBest "sells stuff on E-Bay." That's either a LOT of stuff or some High Dollar stuff to be able to bring in that kind of money on a regular basis.
Unfortunately, none of my stuff is worth a dime, and I don't own any extra stuff.
I've mentioned this on another thread about what I do for ebay. It's very profitable.
Go to a large university's website (ideally one local to you). Find what books they use for hard classes (Calculus III, Physics, Advanced Finance class, etc). Buy, rent, borrow the book. Do ALL the problems in the book in a notebook. Then type it all up and sell your work and answers on eBay for $40.
It takes me about a week to get through a book and you can often sell your work about 100 times per book. You make decent pocket money, and you get to enjoy the challenging material.
Is that even legal? Seems like you are using copyright material.
Ok, I know this has been covered before, but let's come up with ways to make some extra cash from home---
computer surveys. I do Inbox dollars, but they are getting stingy. I did make $40 last month, but usually its more like $5-$10
Evergreen surveys
sell stuff on Ebay, Craigs list
garage sale
let the cats catch mice and save on cat food

I'm curious but a really bad guesser, so give me a clue as to what you do
