Alright well I haven't posted here in a while, but some of you may remember me.. Anyway, I tried soem various things online, such as AJIP, Profit Lance,(which did bring some money, but to much hassle!), Google Adwords, (which was way out of my league!), and the Income4beginers, which was a scam mainly.. but I am yet to really find anything that lived up to what it's promised. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction of what I can make work. So here are facts about me that may help:
I am not talented at anything involving marketing or promotion.
My knowedge is not sufficent enough to run a big or great site.
I don't understand HTML, or Email list type stuff.
I can't do blogs worth a schise!
I've looked at alot of things, but I am still yet to find anything that is really for me. Does anyone know of anything that may be right for me here? I've wanted to get some kind of business going, but I've no luck at anything.. I want something I don't have to pay a lot for, but I haen't found anything like that.
Suggeston? Thanks.

It seems to me that it is not so much the program but how to market that you are having a problem with.
Find something that interests you and then find a sponsor who can guide you what to do. Ask questions on how they can help you and if free training is available? If all they care about is a sale then find someone else.
I found a great sponsor who showed me the right way and now I am doing things that I never thought I could do. The right sponsor made all the difference for me.

You might want to give the Google adwords another chance. There are many beginners courses that you can take to learn how to do it.
It is a little more work than the other things you mentioned, but ultimately adwords based affiliate marketing is where you will find success. But beware, you won't get good over night. So hang in there.

Hi Iamconfused,
Sorry you are having trouble. It's not easy to compete with so many in the game. Try picking a topic outside of "make money online". Try something that you are either already good at or you would enjoy immersing yourself in.
Second, you should really work on the things that you mentioned as weaknesses. I'd say that most of them are either critical or very important in your repertoire. Learn HTML free from w3schools.com. Learn more about marketing. Learn more about blogging.
You can create free pages on Squidoo. They have money making modules that you need only to tweak to your liking. It's fun, easy, and addicting from day ONE.

Iamconfused,
I do feel for you. It is very frustrating to put in hours and hours of work and not reap any benefits.

I was completely in the dark about these same things you mention last year at this time. I'm still not very knowledgeable about most of them.  However, I do feel able to run a "big or great site" because of my experience with SBI.
You feel like you are unable to do anything, but you do have knowledge and capabilities that you are discounting. Think about what you are knowledgeable about - a hobby, a passion, a particular field of work, or even just something you really love and enjoy.
SBI provides the tools and training for you to take what you do know about and make one of those "big or great sites" that turn your interest and passion into a business.
Check out my chocolate site. That site is doing great as a result of my interest and SBI's tools and guidance. I'm still amazed.
I don't use Adwords or anything else that costs me money to promote my site, but I had over 15,000 visitors to the site in November.
One of the secrets is this - choose a topic, stay focused, be patient, and the results will come.
SBI costs $25 per month, which is all inclusive. I think it is the best bargain on the net. Yes, I'm biased! I think you are going to have a very difficult time finding something that is absolutely free, but this is the best priced option for beginners (and probably professionals, too). 
Hope this might help you and rekindle your motivational fire to go for it. I wish you success.

Thanks Hemjoe.
I'm still not making oodles, but I am making progress. A little more each month is all I ask. Well, okay, I'd love a huge windfall  but I'm very content with progress.

change - learn - adapt - Start with working on you first
danijohnson.com - go there - learn to fix what you do not currently have. It is really all about how bad do you want "it"? Enough to make internal changes?
If not - your life will remain the same as it is today.
Totally your call.
There are 3 kinds of people. Those that make it happen. Those that watch what happens. And those that wonder what the hell happened.
Which are you going to be? You are no worse or better than any of us - ya just got to make the decision to make it happen. Everything else is a down hill run.
Like Yoda says - There is no "Try" There is only do - or do not.
Choose do.
