They do not know what they want to do, just that they need an idea for making money on the Internet. I always liked the theory that if you dowhat you love the money will come.

Someday when you get a chance read by Confessions Of A Lazy Super Affiliate by Chris Rempel. His whole idea is that you want to find niches where people are ready to spend money right now. He thinks that those of us telling people to get involved in a niche you have a passion for is bad advice.

I see where he is coming from, but for a new person starting out with Internet marketing who do not have skills, I disagree with this. You will stick with it longer if you enjoy it. This can be hard when you are not making any money.

Another excellent book I read a week or so ago was titled 20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online and it was fantastic. I learned two ideas myself that I can use next year to add to my income.

You can see I get my ideas to make money from home by reading what others are already doing. I am not above using existing ideas and personalizing them to my style.

One thing they talk about in the 20 Ways book is thinking about what you know how to do right now that you could sell as a service.

- How about writing email marketing campaigns

- You might be to set up autoresponders for people.

- Maybe you know the best way to set up a traffic exchange campaign and you offer that as a service.

- How about setting up websites or blogs.

- Go offline and look at the millions of small businesses who do not have an online presence and help them get one.

- You could publish a newsletter for busy business owners

You get the idea. Some of this stuff makes more sense than just selling affiliate products in a niche you have a passion for. On that I do agree with the lazy super affiliate.

From that standpoint you are not really choosing an area of passion, but rather one of expertise. You are selling what you know to people who are willing to pay for it.

This seems logical if you are an expert in something. This is a great idea for making money on the Internet because you will never run out of business. As long as there are website and blogs there will be people willing to pay for help to start and run them.
