There are literally thousands of ways you can make money online. Your first job is to take some time to find out which opportunity is right for you. Be sure to choose something you enjoy doing so you can be having fun rather than dreading what you'll be doing. Do you want create a blog to earn money or create a website to sell products for yourself or someone else? Would you rather do affiliate marketing so you don't have to worry about production or inventory or shipping? The opportunities are endless, you just need to figure out which is right for you and then get started.
If you have been doing any research at all about starting an online business, you have undoubtedly seen countless ads and promotions telling you that "you can start making $6,285 per month as soon as you buy this incredible software package for this special limited time offer of only $49.00". No matter how fancy or flashy or believable the offer seems, you can be sure this is a scam. And once you pay your money you will more than likely never be able to get in touch with these people and the incredible software package is a 5 page letter. If it sounds too good to be true, you can rest assured it is, so RUN!
Whatever you decide to do, you will almost certainly need a website. If you're going to be selling product, you need a static website that doesn't change very much. But if you're going to create a blog, it will change daily or more based on the number of posts you make. Either way you will need a domain name, about $7-$10 per year and a hosting site, $6-$13 per month. Then you will need the website itself, but there are numerous, very good sites available for free. And you don't need programming skills as they work right out of the box and come with tools that work with the click of a mouse.
Then you will need to add content, either products or information, depending on the type of site you've decided to build. And this can be the most intensive part as if you don't have good content, even the "prettiest" site on the web won't make money.
So whatever you decide to do don't forget that this is a business, and you MUST treat it as such. If you treat it as a 'hobby' or something you will work on 'as soon as you get some free time' you will be very disappointed with what will surely be failure. But if you put the time and effort required, and give it some time to develop and not expect to be able to quit your day job 3 months from now, you may be very pleasantly surprised with money you make online.
