Where to Start

This is the first post here so I'll list the things you might need for the articles that will follow. They're not all necessary but will help.

• One (or more) websites
• An email list plugged in an autoresponder
• Basic HTML know-how (optional)

While you can make money online without having a website or a list of subscribers, they tend to help! So a first step for everyone should be to start one.
If you don't have any idea what kind of site to create I have something for you: create a web directory. See this Free Directory for an example. It illustrates both points: website + email list. If you check the Submit Page you'll see it allows persons to subscribe to the mailing list. Very simple.
The script can be bought for $25, the domain for $10/year and the hosting starts from around $25/year. So it's a $60 investment that will pay off.
