Have you ever explored the internet looking for ways to make money? There are so many products and services that you just don't know what to choose.

There are your “how to sites.” How to make money, how to build a website, how to increase your profits, and the list goes on.

Then you have your loan sites. With the economy in a wreck, there are your equity loans, lines of credit, signature loans, payday loans, loans for the holidays, and they tell you what you want to hear until they see your credit report. Then you're the worst person on earth.

Let's not forget the product sites. Those sites that say " if you just use my product, I can show you how." You don't know if its the truth or not until you purchase the product. Then you've lost your money.

There are some legitimate websites out there. You have to take the time to investigate and see which ones are actual and which ones are not.

There are some legitimate ways to find and make money. Here are a few of my favorites.

First check these accounts. Did you have a parent that passed away? Perhaps you sold a house and didn't claim all the escrow. Did you have an rich relative who may have opened a Swiss Bank account.

There are over 55 billion dollars in these accounts and you may have some free money sitting in one of them. First check the obvious and see if you may have a claim to an inheritance or some missing money.
