Dear fellow myloters,
This is something is a part of an ebook I created time a go when I was flirting with internet marketing on a daily basis.
I was not pretending then nor now is a complete work, but, as I put in the title, I hope will become as I think you will add your ideas, questions, doubts, dilemmas, expertise and so on.

[i]To make money online is what PC user of 21'st century dream about. Sit home, in his "this is best chair ever", definitive without a tie and no need to wear shoes and socks .. Actually plying CS or WOW or Runescape or Hattrick or ... solitaire ;-p.
And time to time, few times a day, check email for paypal received income money receipts ..
That is a dream. IM gurus, moguls even, they will say 'look at me, I live that dream, you can do it too'.
No. You can not do it.
Because he is not doing it also.
He have had OUTSOURCE 90% of what he say he do.
Well, no, the devils is not quite so black ..
And with this we are back to the main question.
Which is not if one can make money online. She/he can.
Which is not how much money can one make online. Limit is the sky.
Which is not about how much time to allocate for this. Must allocate as much as is need.
The question is: are you ready to play according to the rules of this game?
Because, be sure, in doing money online, things are similar with working offline, similar but not same. If you are a good story teller, a good writer, is not mean you are a good IM article or copywriter writer.
It looks same but is not same. Period.
But, how can be made money online? What are the options?
Let's see:
- clicking links.
- writing posts.
- writing articles.
- writing advertising copy.
- writing ebooks and whatever is required a ghostwriter.
- offering freebies - with or without a site.
- software or web programming or being webmaster / adviser.
- owning paid membership site(s), including online games, lotteries and so on.
- having a site which had reach to maturity so well, it have tons of traffic and you sell ad spaces in.
- affiliate marketing - to sell others's real or virtual items.
- MLM style systems (highly inadvisable).
- trading stocks.
- selling pictures or drawings.
- ebay.
- running a virtual store, selling real or virtual items.
There can be few more ways to grab soe cash out of the internet, using PC and different skills one may have.
There are, yet, things to remember: proportionally as much attention (work, time, money, knowledge) you give, that results will show up; must play by the rules; continue learning, nver stop seeking for anything is new; nothing is granted.[/i]

Hi Wmraul, you did a good analysis of online money making, I believe most of these are based on your experience and research.
Yes it is not easy making money online. Some task based websites also need you to maintain a very good credibility or they just suspend the account, they even do not give a chance to correct your mistakes, In such cases it looks that offline work is better.
I believe sitting home and working online is more tough than working offline, if you really want to make money.
Most of the online income generating sites can just give you a little secondary income.
