I started off creating a site. Then adding Adsense to it. Then I started working as a freelancer. My first service was a small directory submission one. I kept on moving and learning from the mistakes(still do so).
The most important aspect of start making money online not choosing the proper method, it is that taking action. There are so many money making methods available in BHW and you have to start from somewhere and don't postpone it to tomorrow, start off today. You will make mistakes, loose money, feel depressed. Learn from your mistakes, try new things, keep working hard and you will succeed one day. Don't expect anything overnight in IM.
