Are You Ready?

There are some things you need to do before you jump right into earning extra money online.

First, you must decide just what it is that you want to do. Take a look at where your strengths lie, what you're interested in, what talents you have and what you can do with them. People who make a good living off of the Internet generally do so because they use their gifts, their talents and even their hobbies.

You'll need a computer, Internet access, and the ability to take payments online from a service such as Paypal or credit cards. You'll need a website, so you should look for cheap domains to purchase that will host your Internet venture, if that's the direction you're going to take your business.

There are ways to earn extra money online without owning a website and I'll talk more about those later.
