Are there any truly legitimate, legal ways left to make money from home? If so, what do you suggest?

Try Odesk or Freelancer. These sites can connect you to credible employers across the globe. If you love writing, iWriter is a great choice.

I've tried it and made abou $20 a day. I know it's far from your goal but at least you're getting there. You can also earn here in Hubpages.

However, earning here requires a lot of patience and dedication. God bless and good luck!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
