Here are some ideas, but I agree with the previous answer. Go with what you are passionate about.
Check with local businesses. Offer services and keep accounting and payroll records for them on your home computer. Write promotional materials. Learn how to design websites for them.
Offer your services as an interior decorator. Lot’s of people don’t have a clue when it comes to decorating, furnishing, and organizing their own home. Keep before and after pictures of those big transformations; that’s for your next sales pitch.
Do home upkeep or gardening for your neighbors. Grow fresh herbs and organic produce for your neighbors. Grow and sell exotic plants.
Today’s digital cameras make photography quite easy and inexpensive, so become your neighborhood photographer. Set up a little area with a drop cloth for background and you’re in business for portraits.
Good at picking up treasures at yard sales? Maybe the antique business.

Be very careful that you don't get scammed.
I do affiliate marketing online. I've been doing it for a year and I'm getting ready to quit my regular job, as I am now making over $10k per month. However, it takes dedicated, persistent work, at least a few thousand of initial working capital, decent organizational skills, and a healthy dose of motivation, but you can make a living at it if you stick with it.
But that is a business.
Starting a business requires a lot of work and dedication. You cannot start a business this week and expect to be earning a good profit next week.
Employees tend to have a "job" mindset whereby they worked this week, so they expect to see results this week (i.e. a paycheck this week).
In business, you don't see results like that. Take, for instance, starting a new restaurant. You'll first have to choose a location. The most successful restaurants have their own location, with their own parking lots.
If you wanted to open a restaurant like that, you'd spend a couple of months looking for the right location. Then you'd spend thousands of dollars for an architect to help design the plans with you. Then you'd spend thousands of dollars getting your plans approved by the local authorities.
And then, after all that, you'd be approved to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on hiring a firm to actually build your building. And after that, you'd spend tens of thousands of dollars to install the interior decorations.
And then you'd spend thousands of dollars hiring employees and training them, as well as having them prepare for the grand opening.
And then, after over a year and spending over a half million dollars, you'd be ready to open the doors and start earning your first dollar.
I say this to illustrate my point: businesses take time and money up front to develop. In the longer period of time, this time and money invested up front will pay off.
But businesses take time to develop!
It is not like being an employee where you get instant results, meaning work this week, get paid this week.
Business is not like that.
If you want something easy, with no investment, you could probably make $500 to $1000 per month getting paid by companies to write postings on blogs about their products. That's about the only legitimate way that I know of to earn money online without any investment.
I wish you much business success, if you choose to go that route.
