Writing can easily cover most basic bills (unless you have kids etc...then you might be stretching it). When I was writing, I did really well. There's a member here (can't remember his name) who made something like 30k in eight months writing. The only reason more people can't do this is because 90% of people are shitty writers.

Here's the thing: you're getting flamed because you asked "how can I make money." There are so many options...you need to be more specific. Ask "how can I make money with..." and you'll get a more positive response.

If you're brushing up that close with missing rent, I'd suggest you do the following as quickly as possible:

1. Get a temporary job (or start writing your ass off, as discussed above). This isn't a long term plan, it's just to cover your ass. Believe me, I hate the 9-5 grind, but if for whatever reason all my income stopped coming and my savings disappeared, it's exactly what I'd do. Once you get back on your feet online you can quit.

2. Research the shit out of all tactics/ideas/strategies you think will earn you money short term. Make a list of ideas and questions. Do NOT pay for ebooks or anything else.

3. Ask questions about the ideas. You're likely to get more help this way.

4. Implement your ideas. With dedication and a bit of luck, you'll start making some dough.

5. Start planning long term online. Build it up.

6. Quit your day job and focus online.

7. My final suggestion is to have a minimum of 6 months of living expenses tucked away somewhere. Forget that it exists. I've done this and believe me, I can actually sleep at night now.

Also, I offer uber phone consultation packages in exchange for phone sex / dirty pictures.
