Hello,
It takes an investment to make money online whether it's in terms of investing hard work, your time, financially, or both. While it's definitely possible to get started with little or no financial investment (Wordpress.com or Blogger if you can't afford your own domain or hosting), it really makes it easier to get going with the financial backing. If you don't want any investment at all (work or money), then making money online isn't for you.
I know it sounds cliche, but the easiest way to get started is to find a problem people are having and then provide a solution to that problem. People are always hungry to find a solution to their problems they are facing, especially if it's something that has an emotional effect on them. An example of this is the weight loss industry, as someone who is overweight may have low self esteem and desperate to find a way to lose weight, so they hire a personal trainer (solution), or buy a product(workout dvd, supplements, etc.) that will help them lose weight (solution).
There are literally hundreds of ways to make money online so find one which fits you that you feel comfortable with and go for it. You could choose affiliate marketing, site flipping, domain flipping, Adsense, eBay, article marketing, blogging, product creation, offer a service, and the list goes on and on.
Choose a model, find a niche, do research, and then implement what you've learned by taking massive action. Taking
action is key.
It takes hard work, dedication, long hours, ups and downs, and plenty of perseverance. The key to success is taking
action.
As the great Vince Lombardi once said,
“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will.”
Good luck.
