Jees I wish I had the forethought to start that early.
I guess it really depends how big do you want to go. If you’re just looking for some pocket money, you can do online surveys, or if you want a more substantial income you can learn a skill that’s in demand or develop skills that you already possess, and find the niches where those skills are in high demand – although really you should be doing it the other way around, ie find out what skills are in high demand, then learn those skills.
What I can definitely tell you is to forget about all those promises of easy money. Making money online can be more fun, flexible, fulfilling and less time consuming than your office job.
But it definitely is not easy. You have to be willing to work, hard, and keep at it while you’re not yet seeing results. And the most important skill of all that you absolutely must have to earn money online is how to sell yourself.
Hope that helps
