If you are a newbie to internet marketing and you need to make atleast some small amount of money, then try SproutGigs (formerly known as Picoworkers). You can do micro tasks on SproutGigs and earn US$2 to US$5 (approximately) per day.
As you do tasks there, example liking, sharing, commenting on a Youtube video, you may also observe what the youtube videos are about, see the video's descriptions, etc and try to research on how they monetize their Youtube videos.
Remain curious while you complete tasks at SproutGigs, so that in your mind, you do a reverse engineering & also keep researching and that would enable you to broaden your knowledge. From there on you can keep researching and try to move forward.
I am suggesting you to start with SproutGigs, because you mentioned that you are a newbie with basic internet skills and want to earn atleast 2$ per day as a start. So, start with SproutGigs and also keep your eyes open at the same time for other stuff that may interest you, so that you may consider getting into those after a while.
Wish you success and best of luck.
