I was in your position weeks ago. Trust me, it sucks, but if there's one thing I learned from BHW, it's to take action like others are saying.
In my words: Earning money is like taking a dump. Sometimes, if you're lucky and have been waiting long enough for your big break, the results will come out with little to no effort. However, most of the time, it requires you to put your heart and soul into it, be committed, and really want to do it!
If you want a decent place to start making money, I'd recommend ShareCash (you get paid to upload files). Once you're comfortable with that, begin investing into professional domains and join professional CPA Affiliate Networks like BlamAds.
Sorry for any confusion, but it's not a simple thing to explain, especially with no prior knowledge. Simply put, go do some research on Cost Per Action and try that field out. Just my recommendation, though. Use the forums to your advantage, look around, and don't post until you've read about what you're posting first.
