Sell services. They said it is the fastest way for newbies to make money online. Well, I haven't make any money yet, I don't have a skill or expertise in anything.

Currently learning how to make a custom Aweber opt-in page, design an ebook, make a squeeze page, etc.

Work hard, do not get discouraged.

The easiest way by far to earn money quickly is to sell IM services to offline businesses who really need them

-Choose a niche
-Create your own product
-Build a minisite
-Insert opt in form to build list
-Recruit affiliates through clickbank / paydotcom

Selling on Fiverr. They could start with something labour-intensive like writing articles or doing manual link submissions, and once they've earned enough cash they could reinvest it into other ventures or tools.

Thanks everyone very much for sharing your thoughts. I believe there could be even more ideas coming. I feel it is good to discuss because it gives all of us a clearer idea what and how to do. So far I tend to agree with Andrew Gotti and Tenzho about selling services to offline clients.

Shireen - I hear you, but I also feel that what you listed has many ramifications in which newbie may come short of experience and knowledge.

Candy - Thanks for your input. Definitely being able to not be discouraged is very high ability in itself, thanks. But I was meaning it as a given approach in my question.

Megawarrior - Fiverr sounds Ok too, but not sure if they can make serious money with it?...

The most fool-proof method would definitely be to sell some kind of services, although a lot of services do not yield a decent amount of money because of the large number of people in developing countries willing to do jobs for a much lower price. There are websites like Freelancer.com - Hire Freelancers & Find Freelance Jobs Online vWorker.com: How work gets done. Guaranteed! and lots others where you can bid on projects and get started in relatively small period of time. It just takes a few hours to setup a profile and maybe a couple of weeks of bidding to land your first project (the first one is hard to get, but it gets easier). Fiverr is an alternative, but it can get frustrating doing the same thing over and over again for a fixed price.

If you need a quick dollar to support IM sell some services. You can write articles, BMI posts, or repackage links etc. Advertise right here on WF.

Concentrate on providing lots of value for a specific group of people that need help or are having problems. The law of supply and demand never fails.

But, whatever you decide don't expect to be making thousands in your first few weeks. If it was that easy everybody would be doing it - and no one would work jobs.

Focus on other people, and you will make money by default.

I have news for you: there is no shortcut for success.

This is what you need to achieve massive success.

1. A sincere desire to change
2. Access to the right knowledge
3. Action
4. Persistence

Regardless of what you choose, you must be willing to put in the work to get results. I recommend getting on this forum to attain the right kind of knowledge, and then setting up an immediate action plan.

The last ingredient is persistence. Once you are aware of the right principles you must apply, you must commit to not stop until you achieve your goals.

Everything is going to take time besides services. I highly suggest getting into a service of some kind while also working on a more long term plan.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Find someone who can build you adsense sites for cheap, have him/her drive traffic to it and rake in money on autopilot. That is how I got started. No knowledge is required and the best part is you will make money as you learn. Let me know and i'll direct you to some reputable sources.

read and use the search feature...that is the most full proof method IMO

1) Find a hot niche

2) Create or find a product for it

3) Get a website

4) Get an autoresponder

5) Create a squeeze page

6) Drive people to your squeeze page

7) Collect email addresses

8) Market to these leads over and over again

9) Get sales

10) Sell new products to the new customers you acquire

Very easy to do.

As some others are saying, selling services is one way forward. You can make an easy start by offering article writing on Fiverr, for example, and sending messages to people there who are asking for article writing . . . you'll get much more work if you actively look for people wanting it, than hoping they'll take the time to find you.

Later, you can expand such a service by outsourcing the work, so you can expand it to a business rather than a job.

The problem with most IM methods that you pay money for, is that the author gets the money whether the method actually works, or not. If you want something rather more guaranteed, then look for a method which doesn't work that way, such as a method posted for free here and confirmed by many respected Warriors, (or see my Sig)

Without a doubt the fastest way is freelancing. From there you can move to offline services and lead generation like other people have already mentioned. As far as "fool proof" is concerned there is no such thing. People fail every single day at the simplest tasks for various reasons. There a TONS of good ways to make money online you just need to decide what it is that you do well. Don't focus on what may be easiest or most profitable, because that may not be sustainable for you.
