What can I do to start making money on the Internet fast?

Ashley asked:


I need some genuine insight and details on how you got STARTED to making that first $1 or $100 on the Internet. What are some real genuine and HONEST ways of making money on the Internet?

Please, don’t be vague like create blogs or websites with unique interesting content and earn money through affiliate marketing or contextual advertising (Adsense, Adbrite, YPN, etc). I really want details on how YOU got STARTED to become successful making money on the Internet.

Please do not recommend me filling out surveys or PTC (Paid-to-Click) sites. You can hardly make any decent money out of FREE surveys which takes a good amount of time just to make a lousy dollar. Believe me. I have tried with several “top notch” sites like CashCrate and others. I do not want to go this route.

I want to make a decent living off of the Internet working full time even putting in 10 additional hours every week.

Where can I do keyword research and search volume research to come up with niche ideas for websites? Overture Keyword Tool no longer exists. I need a good free keyword tool besides Google’s Adwords keyword tool. I heard Google’s keyword tool really doesn’t give accurate results. What did you do to come up with your niche ideas?

I assume most Internet entrepreneurs make money through multiple streams of Internet incomes through affiliate marketing, contextual advertising, multiple websites (sometimes in mass quantity) domaining (buying & selling domain names), Forex investing. List other ideas as well.

Thank you. I would really appreciate your help.
