earning money on the internet is a different ballgame. you are competing with 3rd world people who are willing to work harder than you for much lower cost at best. At worst they are willing to play dirty (scamming, fraudulent misrepresentation) to make money.

there is no easy way to make money at all, much so on the cyber world.

that being said it is not impossible, you just have to crave out your own niche. find your audience, and you're pretty much half way there already.
