    There are loads of them. Affiliate marketing can be very profitable though.
    You can do things such as freelance work makeing websites, graphics and scripts.
    There are other things like adsence websites.
    Or comapines like web hosting.
    Just pick something that your good at and you can always get it to make money.
    Best of Luck!

    no if ur a beginner dont try flipping websites, you really need to know what your doing to be able to correctly appraise a website and knowing when it is underpriced.

    where are you from

    Absolutely DO NOT flip sites to begin with.

    First, find 2-3 things that interest you. Study and research as much as possible, then practice whatever those 2-3 things may be. You must be willing to give a free sample, for this will build up your portfolio, references, and network.

    Honestly, the online world has a lot of possibilities to make money; writing, SEO, and anything computer related are the top 3 markets.

    However, what makes the success is whether you are willing to put time, energy, and dedication into whatever it is you are doing. Cheesy, I know... but it's the honest truth.

    Good luck!

    If you want to work from home you need to educate yourself before you begin. You will need a system not just an e-book and will also need ongoing support and help. It is possible to sell hard goods in combination with an online business, in fact this is an under utilized way to make great money. You take products that are already popular and take them to a new audience.

    Whatever method or business you choose you really do need support.

    Good luck.

    I was a computer programmer for HP for 20 years, so I have computer skills. I also have skills in organization, planning, scheduling, estimating, and writing. How much do I want to make? Enough to be self sufficient should need be!

    Wow, well you seem to have the knowledge to do the basics needed for anything online & computers, that is based on what you have said.

    If I may put some more thought into this, maybe start a business, or create a product and sell through amazon, ebay, etc.?

    Hope that helps some :)
