knslms: As much as I hate ebay I would have to say thats the easiest place to start. Most everyone easily has $500.00 worth of stuff around there house they have no use for any more. This profit should be turned around and invested into your next business venture.
it's one of the options.  god one...

purposedriven42: Can you please share your own ideas how complete newbies with limited budget can earn their first $ 500 online?
Well I am at $440 so far after 6 weeks, and I started with $0 invested.
I expect to be at the $500 mark soon!
The program I am doing does take time, but at least there is no actual cost to get into it. Here is a picture link of my paypal account that shows $440: http://b.imagehost.org/0683/proof_440.jpg
For this program though, you must be a resident of USA or Canada.

I made my first bit of 'online money' from an affiliate sale last year. It felt like Christmas morning! I woke up and checked my email as usual, and was gobsmacked when I saw my very first Paypal payment received notification!!
This was after MONTHS of hard work, trying different things without much success. I was at a pretty low point and about to throw in the towel, but that morning changed everything. It was living proof that money COULD be made online!
And the rest is history, lol. Perserverance is key.

I tend to be the voice of dissent in a lot of discussions here because I lean more toward the concept of learning the basics and running your own business than toward sign up to program X and do what they tell you to make money (not that this can't work sometimes, my personal experience has simply been that most people wanting money to guide you are a lot more interested in the money than the guidance).
My answer to your question would depend on your goals and what your time-frame for making that first $500 would be - plus what skills you bring to the table.
If you're looking for a quick $500 and either know how to write good sales copy (or are willing to spend some of that limited budget learning the basics), then I'd suggest signing up to a decent affiliate program and setting up a site advertising that product.
If you have skills (writing, web design, graphics, or anything useful online) and want to try and get this $500 within a couple of months and don't want to spend a cent, I'd sign up for the freelance sites (elance, getafreelancer, rentacoder, etc). With the free memberships, you could take projects that could net your $500 to invest in a business within a couple of months.
If you don't really have any skills and aren't interested in developing any, but want to make money and don't want to spend a cent doing so, I'd go with setting up squidoo lenses and blogger blogs and getting an adsense account. This is not a quick path to your $500, though. Think a couple of years.
Think of making money as energy. To make a certain amount of money takes X amount of energy. You can purchase this energy with either your time and effort or your money. To turn this energy into dollars, you need to have the knowledge to apply this energy. In other words: It's easy to waste a lot of money and/or work spinning your wheels if you don't know where to direct this 'money making energy' you're purchasing. As your knowledge increases, your 'energy' to money return gets better because you get more efficient at applying the energy.
