    Hi Guys,

    First and foremost I need to clarify that I am a complete newbie to this whole internet business thing so please dont scream at or laugh at me for asking what to many would seem stupid questions.

    I have decided to try to make some extra money online but really dont know how or where to start. Can someone kindly point me in the right direction plz?

    The other contributing factor is cash flow, I just dont have any :eek: I do know that a certain amount of capital is required to run any type of business but have heared of ppl starting up internet businesses with little or no costs involved.

    Any info/help would be greatly appreciated.

    Kind Regards

    Bronkim

    If you are really good in anything, then you can start a blog on that topic and earn from ads. Another good way to make money online is E-Bay. You can also try doing online surveys, for which you get paid.

    You'll have to do a lot of research and invest a lot of time to make it work. The easiest way is blogging but to make any significant money there you need to be an authority in something and mix it with a bit of luck. so good luck.

    Thanks for your prompt replies guys I really appreciate it.

    Kinoku - The only thing I can do is play guitar (left handed) lol do you think I would have a big enough market by targeting only Left Handed players?

    Thanks for the recommendations re the surveys, I did look into that a little while back but the general feeling I got was most of these things were scams.

    shailendra - Thanks for your input I really need to do something that wont cost me anything or very little to begin with, what would you suggest plz?

    Kind Regards
    Bronkim

    design a nice website which you think may appeal masses and you may use it for affiliate marketing or ad sense. i think Ad sense will be better. you can also use wordpress to start your own blog on some interesting subject and then use Ad sense

    Thank you,

    From what I understand, Wordpress can automate the content of your chosen subject so you dont have to create unique content yourself?

    Adsense - Advertisers pay me for putting closely related ads on my website?
    Adwords - we pay almighty google for the privilage of running our own ads??

    p.s. can you recommend an easy to use website creation pack plz?

    Regards
    Bronkim

    you can use either the wordpress or joomla.i prefer using wordpress because of the level of SEO already done in it. but create your own unique content
