When I started making money online it was by doing some freelancing. Then I went back and forward doing lot of things like join hype(lost tons of money, I was really stupid), youtube marketing( I am currently doing that). My recomendation is to learn something, and try to implement it but do it with the mindset of a businessman, there is not such a thing as easy money and if it, it will not last. Do not base you effort in such a things, maybe it will take you more to make money but when you start, it will pay off.
