Need to Make Extra Money..but that internet stuff is really mindboggling..Now what do I do?

The world is going in high speed, and yes the majority of us are just hanging on to what we have--trying to make ends meet, looking for a new job, looking for a part time job, stretching a dollar - lots of us are looking for something that we can do at home. Work at home,working at home, making money online, work from home, home based business, virtual assistant, couponing, - what ever you are into.....you know what I am talking about.  The internet even though it is an exciting, fun place to be- it could be a very scary place....here's what I am talking about....you look up one subject and a million different topics pop up. You start clicking on different things, you get side tracked, you get bombarded with offers and all of those "hot deals", you are told to go to another website...you start getting confused, you lose your way, you give up in frustration and you start over again, only to discover that you only got 1/10th of the information that you were seeking. There are blogs and forums and groups AND a lot of  out of the ordinary hiding places that you stumble into...what I am getting at is if you want to make extra money, work from home, work out of your home...whatever..just be careful--find legitimate places, look for their guarantee, do a research/review on the product....
