Yes that is what I mean. Many companies, cosmetic companies, supplements, diet products, music, etc (even the car manufacturers!) have commission based affiliate programs. You don't buy anything you simply promote the products and the buyer purchases directly through the company.

I agree about any investment to purchase products (normally MLM schemes). An intelligent investment in some how-to products can be a good investment. When I am permitted I will post some links to some free and cheap tutorials you can get to help get started with internet marketing for anyone who might be interested. I am having a blast with it! Although it is not easy money. It requires a fairly big commitment but the things I am learning are amazing and I am pretty confident it will be worth it.

Yeah, those are work, but legitimate. I still see the 'address envelopes' work-at-home schemes, though. And if you are asked for money upfront, or to buy an inventory, beware.
