    Hello DigitalPoint,

    I'm trying to make money online, I have just finished a computer course (Microsoft, CompTIA etc... Quals) I've setup quite a few websites for local companies and I host them on my own server (CentOS Nginx) but I really want to start to make money online, I'm only 16 I've not had a job yet but I'm highly skilled with computers and websites but I've never started my own websites so I would like to do that and make money from affiliates.

    I've been reading these forums for months, but only recently paying close attention to peoples success stories and some things I have noticed is people are saying you have to post 100's of articles on a WordPress blog about an item that your an affiliate of and then advertise it around on blogs and forums, build back links etc... But I'm not entirely sure that I would be best for this as I'm not good at writing and I just don't have any idea's on what to advertise (Such as product/service).

    I would appricate any help, and if anyone is in the same boat as me I'd love to talk to you, if you have MSN private message me your ID and I'll add you.

    I'd be glad to help. First thing to know is that 99% of the time people DON'T make money very fast and they fail many times before somthing works. I say this just so you understand it takes dedication and time to make money online. You can read this: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=911311

    The second thing to do is research a niche, this is, what I think, is the most deciding factor in being successful or failing.

    Heres a possible great niche(I think:)): http://flippa.com/auctions/86682/Li...-Lipstick-Shop---1-Yr-Old-Domain-1-NO-Reserve

    Thanks very much for the link, I have read it I'll take a more detailed look when I'm not so tired too!
    Seems like a good niche apart from I don't think I could continue to develop it as my knowledge in that area is not to fine! Haha ;)

    You can make small amounts of money by doing Services for people.

    That's how I make a few dollars a day/week.

    Or, if your good with Photoshop you can try and make designs for people.. usually a lot of those around.

    I would do that, but I do designs for people (large stores) but I get fed up with having to edit things or do little things.
    I'm an expert in Linux and Web Servers (Apache,LiteSpeed,Nginx,Lighttpd....etc) but I would still much rather earn an income from affiliate websites.

    If you're using nginx (and an expert in it), I'll consider you to be a part of webhosting company, or maybe start a new one that specialized in nginx (search for a partner, I know there are many investors interested in this).

    it might be best if you start a site first and from there you can think lots of possibilities to which way you'll go. adsense is great even for starters

    Well, do you have a credit card or a paypal?

    That's where I would start...

    I just setup a few proxy sites on a few domains and I got a few dollars, my first successful online income. (Using Ads)
    But I dont believe creating proxy sites is a sustainable online income as I think its temporary (48 hours for a small income) has anyone expired this?

    Well, I've made almost $3.00 from proxy sites (haha)
    The only way I stumbled upon that was because I was going through my list of 95 domains (Yes I have a crap load of domains doing nothing, previous ideas that I never finished!) and I had some proxy looking like ones, and an old Adbrite account.

    Should I make a load of blogs dedicated to certain subjects,
    Or is there any other way of doing it other than blogs?

    Make your own site, as you write that you provide hosting to other companies sites. So i suggest you to make this type of blog or forum websites. Choose a niche topic for that. There is a lots of material available on web about this but i suggest you to choose the best, because many material is a fake.

    Well try to make some bucks first with forum posting or other small jobs. Then buy domains with it and resell them. Read read and read all over here and after few months you'll automatically develop your own money making ways. Money making isnt hard online. But you'd choose your own ways. none'll spoon feed you and if any1, that'd obviously saturated and less potential modes. just my 2 cents :)
