Wow! There are so many oportunities for creating an income online, actually while I was reading the article, I got some great ideas. I could teach Spanish! I was thinking that actually everybody knows a lot about something, it could be playing the guitar, drawing, you name it, and that something could be of value for other people, and one can make a good profit from it because the internet gives you an audience. I think sometimes it is laziness that we don’t start something. I think it is action what is needed, everybody has something to offer, hence, everybody can create an income online.
Thanks for your comments, Neil.
I totally agree with you that everybody can create an income online if it is done right.
All the best to you.
Hello Christine, I must say that this article is very helpful and informative. I think that today is very important to find a niche that is profitable and where you can write a lot about it. I am currently in the health niche and I can see that niche gives great results. Some people say it is so saturated and competitive but if you find proper keywords (long-tail) you can achieve pretty nice rankings in search engines.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Daniel!
Wish you much success in your online business.
