you should try freelancing for a start @ getafreelancer.com; odesk.com; elance.com etc
you can make money through internet marketing also..but,if u r a newbie, there would be sharks out there who would cheat you by selling crap tools and products to u..
So, the first thing you have to do is research. And please understand that the get-rich-quick schemes without any effort are all SCAMS. So, you should try to prune your web skills; otherwise find a mentor.
I am a newbie and am finding success online now.. :-) All the credit goes to a genuine guy out there who taught me from scratch how to go abt it..
