***Think Long Term***
Making money online is a slow process.
If you're in a rush, buy a lottery ticket
and keep your fingers crossed. But if
you manage to be patient, you can build
up a substantial income.
Best of all, a lot of your income will be
"passive income", meaning that even
after you stop working, the money
keeps rolling in. Sort of like being an
author, actor, or musician, and
collecting royalties or residuals for work
you did long ago.
Online income starts as a
trickle...perhaps just a few cents, or a
dollar, for a month's work. But it grows
to a few dollars a month, then $50 a
month, then $100, and with dedication
(and again, patience), a thousand a
month will be in sight.

***Start at eHow***
About half of my online income I get
right here at eHow.
If you can write decently, you can write
a How-To article. And if you can write
How-To articles, you should be doing it
right here, and starting to earn money.
eHow is the easiest and surest way I
know to begin earning an online income.
With practice, each article you write can
earn about ten cents a day. Doesn't
sound like much, but that's $3 a month
for each article. Write 100 articles, and
you've got $300 a month coming in.
You're already well on your way to a
thousand a month.
The Resources section includes a lot
more information on how to get started
making money online with eHow.

***Find The Right Content
Opportunities That Work For You***
It's possible to make money online by
blogging, building a website, uploading
photos, videos, or music, and numerous
other options. These all entail providing
'content' -- materials that people want
to see or use on the web -- and getting
advertising (Adsense and affiliate)
income from the content.
For instance, I have numerous websites
and blogs that I've created on my own,
all of which bring in small income
streams from advertising revenue and
affiliate sales. My most successful is my
Newspaper Archives site at
XooxleAnswers.com
There are dozens of other content
opportunities, described in the Resource
article, Make Money on the Internet.

***Get a Job***
The rest of my online income comes
from work that I do in a somewhat
more traditional vein. I am an online
researcher and consultant, handling a
wide variety of research tasks for
people who need business information,
or personal research (like family history)
, or health and legal research, and so
on. Some of this I do through a service
called Uclue.com
Online research is not for everyone. But
it's not the only online work option.
Opportunities range from secretarial
and administrative work, to
programming, and even to mock jury
duty (really!). Take a look at the
Resources article, Making Money on the
Internet, for more possibilities.
