I am in a quest to use my computer to make a full time income. I am NO WHERE CLOSE! but have had a bit of success in a few areas. It is not easy. It is hard. It is work. I hate those "work from the beach for only 2 hours a day". That is my goal, but I won't it for awhile. People think (I was one of them) that if you build a website, BOOM! you will be a gazzilionaire. It is not that easy. But, the saying "Build it and they will come" is very true. People can read right through the BS if you try to fake a site. Find something you are interested in, find a niche in that area, and build your own little community. Another thing that has worked for me, is don't focus so hard on "online". Working behind a computer is a great freedom, but isn't the ultimate freedom to make money on YOUR terms? There are hundreds of ways to make extra cash out there. Freelancing or consulting is a great way I have found to make extra cash.
