The first step is to stop Googling things like, "how to make money
online." Not because you shouldn't want to make money online, but
because the stuff you're going to find by doing that is going to help
you lose money online. Sort of like asking a casino owner how to make money in Vegas...
Don't pay anyone for simple and proven instructions on how to
achieve this goal. In particular, don't pay anyone to teach you how to
write or sell manuals or ebooks about how to make money online.
Get rich slow.
Focus on the scarce resource online: attention. If you try to invent
a way to take cheap attention and turn it into cash, you will fail. The
attention you want isn't cheap, it's difficult to get via SEO and it
rarely scales. Instead, figure out how to earn expensive attention.
