so me being disabled I am unable to get a real job and 400 dollars a month doesn't last and so I was wanting to figure out if there is a way to make some money online and I was told there isn't a lot of ways and many of them are scams and I found that many are indeed scams.

I find it absolutely unbelievable that making money online is so hard I would think the internet would be the best way to do it I mean I am not looking to make bank just a little extra cash i dont have anything to sell on amazon or ebay and I really don't want to put in a ton of work for very little pay out.

Does anyone know a real way to make a little extra cash online?

The only thing I can think of is looking under "telecommute" jobs on sites like Indeed.com and even Craigslists job board. They have awesome opportunities and I noticed if you like google "Work from home" a lot of sketchy possible scams come up. Or things that work off a point system and take forever.

Unfortunately, Craigslist is now terribly saturated by scammers who post ads that look legitimate. I would advise you not to respond to Craigslist job opportunities if they tell you to forward your info to their personal email address (Joe.Schmoe @ gmail.com rather than a legitimate business name or website).

Hotels and car rental businesses have on occasion opening for appointment setters and bookings.
They are working from home positions.

Laugh? by no means, many people have become filthy rich from youtube especially gamers they even can get sponsered by companies and get unlimited amounts of stuff if they promote them like redbull. But I have little to no experience in making videos and I am not nearly good enough at games to make a youtube career from them.
I was told that a blog would be a good start since i like to put my words in written form but from what i hear blogging is not a good idea for making money

Do you have a craft or skill you can use to sell items on amazon or etsy? Or knowledge and passion for a particular niche you can use to curate and resell purchased items in an online store?
Are you fluent in any languages to where you can do interpreting?
Do you drive? There are delivery jobs for all kinds of things.
Peruse your local temp agencies and job fairs for possible home opportunities as well.

Well I was thinking that you could make christian videos.prayers, prophetic etc. Its very asked for. Its not like the videos must be perfect. Youtube itself also has editing you can do on there after you got the video done. its been too long since Ive done any that I could give much advice.
Also you could write books :) I bet there should be dozens of options there as well

The only thing I am passionate and knowledgeable about is God I have been wanting to do my own arts and crafts thing with pokeballs making custom pokeballs but buying the supplies is costly and I am having a very hard time getting the money to get the supplies but that would be the best thing for me as I love to do it and I can be very creative with it I just can't get the money to buy all the supplies I need for it.

The rest is a no go I can't drive and I know only english

Youtube wouldn't work for me as I live in a house where everyone would make fun of me and they are always loud and cussing and speaking disgusting vulgar things and I doubt people want to hear that.
if write a book it would have to be a short one and I am not the best at grammar and punctuation so I would need like an auto corrector or something but I have thought about writing a book before

in all honesty what I really want to do is the pokeball thing it would cost about 130 dollars to get all the stuff I need but people have asked me when I told them about the idea if I could make them a custom pokeball one guy was willing to pay 30 dollars for it. Like this girl wanted a hello kitty pokeball and another guy wanted a dead pool pokeball and one person wanted an angelic looking pokeball with a cross on it and plus it's just so fun to make custom pokeballs :D

Ya It started out with me wanting a gold pokeball and then thought to myself why don't I make one? and I did it was cheap for just one pokeball but to make many different ones I need at least 100 extra dollars for the supplies and I have money saved up to see Stephanie and the rest of it goes to my medicine and my rent and food so I barely have enough money to get enough for a 5 pokeballs.

I tried even going for the lottery to get enough money for them I did the one dollar scratchy things and came close to winning about 2 grand but sadly I only won 20 dollars

I don't intend for this to come out wrong as I don't know your disability, but one thing for any job is that you need to have motivation. Motivation to do what you want and not allow fear of failure to control you. I would highly recommend going to school for computer programming or something in that general area. If you are disabled and receiving disability the state would pay for your education. You may or may not go into the field, but going to classes and mingling with people in the outside world rather than online you will grow your confidence and you will gain friendships that will help strengthen you and then who knows what God may have next for you. It's not healthy to sit at home doing everything online because you need real life relationships with people. I don't think finding a job online is the best avenue right now.I'm only saying this out of love and concern and I hope you see that:)

You can always start a combination of your pokeballs and YouTube!! Like have it be recorded on a camera while you're making them and then post that! :D
