    you can choose many much online earning like PTC ( it's very simple and match for newbie , CMIIW ) ..

    or you can join into some PTR ( paid to review like sponsoredreviews , blogvertiser , etc ) ... you need one blog or more ...

    or you can get an online earning like Google Adsense ( it's recommend for a blogger ) ....

    and you can choose anymore ..... please feel free to search with using Google ...



    best regard from Richskrenta .. !!

    I think to start your business first of all you should design a site the service which you provide that is designing& designing is the field where you can get the work daily. If you want to create a site for your self & need a host than you can contact us with your IM for more information that how you can earn through your website.

    That's a big question...

    The first step to starting a business is to determine if there is a demand for you like to offer to the market. The next step will be to do your research on competition, pricing, target customers, and how you'd like to run your business. Then once you understand that - you will be in a better position to launch something.

    Sounds like you enjoy design - that's a billion dollar market - perhaps you can leverage your skills in design - offer online classes teach Photoshop or create video tutorials and market them through clickbank or your own website.

    Good luck.

    Do something you love. If you enjoy writing, write a blog and monetise it. If you have specialist knowledge on a particular subject, sell a product relating to that knowledge. There's so many different options out there. It's all about investigating your options.

    Have a look around the web and see who is making money from what. Find something you can enjoy and go for it.

    I agree. Do something you would enjoy. With heart and some hard work, success will follow. Remember that you don't need the entire plan up-front. You can implement new ideas as you go along.

    If design is what you enjoy, then go with it. There's always going to competition in no matter what you do - some more than others. But, the bottom line is do what you like because when you have fun doing it, it's a lot easier to reach success. Don't be another number, be innovative and unique. When you stand out from the crowd, that's when you get publicity.

    You'd better join affiliate program and promote it . It's so simple that you don't need a website.

    If you want to be a designer, and make money off of it, then do that.

    A good designer makes good money, despite the fact that there are others out there who are cheaper.

    It's all in how you get your name out there. ... And it is not that hard at all.

    If you can't do that with that field, it doesn't matter what kind of field you choose. ... You won't go very far.

    Think about it.

    I would start with your interests. For example, if your interest is surfing, create a website or blog about something specific within surfing. Start building a subscriber list and build a relationship with your list. Pretty soon you'll be able to promote different products related to surfing.

    Just an example.
