If your artistically inclined you can put things such as sculptures and hand made items on Etsy. It works like Ebay but doesn't charge as much.

Its not from home, but if you have any talents or specific interest education you can teach a class at the community college thats near you. I teach a class every year. Students sign up and pay me the fee to take the class. Its fun too. I used to tutor from home.. but kids annoy me as I get older... specifically someone else's teen.
I just got out of it due to other interests, but I bred high dollar tarantulas for hobbyists. Made real bank with that.. some slings go for a few hundred.. specifically like Gooty's.. and you get a few hundred slings. Thats a lot of money. You have to know your stuff though I guess if you want to work from home and actually succeed at it, you will have to have some knowledge or education or experience in something that is in demand. Do you?

Thanks everyone.

most of the online jobs are fake

There are plenty of work at home job sites out there...try ratracerebellion.com

One of my good friends works from home, doing 3 different jobs, but never leaves the house.

If one has health and energy there are different things a person can do, such as housework that if specialized can grow too large a clientel in a year for $20 dollars and hour, or tutoring, catering, even calligraphy, journal making, sewing business, and often piecing a few things together. Ethically, online sales could be something such as, fair trade items, chocolate, and coffee are vastly overpriced in the fair trade market, so bringing in large sacks and instead of 6-10 times the cost like stores do, try the old rule of thumb 3 X price, and Im sure people will appreciate it. NON GMO heritage flours, spelt, again price. I just don't like the greedy rip of artists, and know very well that its not the farmer or the family in developing nations earning those profits, its the middle man corporations. So ethical is good.

Also if a person does some selling online, and they're bigger ticket items, consider lay aways, 4 or 5 payments and then item is shipped. Consider draws and give aways several times a year, and offering tutorials to instruct others.

And if a person is really good at talking, arranging them to charge only for what sells and send it out to the customer. There are businesses that do that. That way you could start something online for smaller costs.

Publishing?

I think ethics is very important, and would only do things that have great integrity, and not work for any corporation that is harming the human race or this world, and that's most of them, so there are good reasons to work from home, and this gives far more ethical considerations a platform.

You may want to try working online; there are a lot of homebased online jobs. There are legit websites that you can check to get online jobs like Odesk or Freelancer

Making money at home is not a good idea.

Don't use a printer at the office or a copy place, either. Every copier sold has a unique signature in the way it deposits black ink onto the paper; the U.S. Treasury will track you down by the original purchase of whatever printer you are going to use.

While U.S. currency looks old timey, the fact is that it is printed by a unique (antiquated) process of intaglio printing-- very difficult to replicate using a digital printer anyway. There are so many curves that show up as jags when digitized.

You'd have to use as analog, photographic process to produce litho or intaglio printing plates. Then, you'd need the colored denim paper impregnated with silk that the Treasury uses--and it is not manufactured for sale. You cannot "wash" lower denomination bills, since they now carry watermarks and denomination-specific embedded strips that identify the bill's amount.

Give up on making your own money; once you start, the clock on the end of your own freedom starts to count down.
