How do you make money to live on online for free or next to it?

I want friends, but that's a really big term and can mean a lot of things so I feel the need to clarify I'm not after Acquaintances, Work Friends or even only Casual Friends, at best is only borderline of what I'm after I need Close Friends. ..., The One You Take Care Of. ..., Best Friends. ..., Lifetime Friends. How do you meet those people when you have no social life more than this online mess?
