In 2005 I gave up a well paid corporate job with IBM to start my own business. After a few months it was obvious that my research was flawed and I wasn't going to be able to earn enough money to survive so I needed some way else of earning money. At this point I had no knowledge of Internet marketing and didn't know the difference between AdSense and affiliates.

Desperation is a really good teacher. Within a few months I was earning enough money online to pay all my bills and start to build up my savings. It wasn't easy and I made lots of mistakes along the way. I always believe in sharing what I know so I set up The Income Academy to share my knowledge with people who wanted to make money online or to supplement their income.

As I said earlier in this article there are many ways to earn an income online. below I have listed 5 . The thing you need to remember is that it's not just as simple as making a website then waiting for your money to flood in.
