I cast my mind back to the early 90's when the internet was not in use as widely as it is today and I wonder how ordinary people made money.
With the internet as it is today you can make money even if you had no money but you have an idea.
What do I mean? If you have an idea that is a solution to the questions a group of people on the internet are asking you can get paid for your solutions.
You can start a blog on blogger.
com or word press for free on the subject your idea is about.
You can use the free marketing tools on the internet to research your market thoroughly.
You can either produce your own product for free using free software or you can find a product you can promote as an affiliate that answers the questions being asked.
On your blog you bring the two parties together and you get paid.
It can start out as a hobby initially and then into a business if you so wish.
Post to your blog regularly.
All the search engines like fresh content.
If you can not write but you have an eye for good photos you can start by putting pictures on your blog with your affiliate links and appropriate titles.
Post the pictures faithfully and regularly.
You should soon have a following assuming the pictures are on a theme that is quite popular on the internet.
It really is that simple.
Why don't you give it a go?
