You can make money online in many ways. However, the easiest way to do so is to pick a subject, become an expert in it, and then prove to the people that you are the man (or woman) to go to when someone needs information about the subject.
From there you can sell products which pertain to the subject, allow advertisers to post ads on your blog for money, or offer consultation on the subject for a price.
Choose a subject
The first thing you will need to do is choose a subject. If a subject is in existence, then that means that there are people interested in it. Keeping this fact in mind, I personally believe you can choose any subject, but it is wise to choose one which turns you on.
A subject which excites you.
This is important because you will be spending time learning and then teaching others about this subject. Unless you are passionate about the subject, you will not be able to remain persistent. You will call of things before they ever had time to take off.
Become an expert in your chosen subject
After choosing a subject you want to become an expert in, the next step is to master the subject. The best thing to do is to master it to the point where you stand out from the rest of the people who write about the subject.
Let's face it. Any and every subject will have people writing about it. Your goal should be to stand out as the expert with unmatched expertise in the subject.
Convince people you are the expert on the subject
Once you have become an expert in your chosen subject, you job, now, is to convince your audience that you are the expert. To do so you will have to convey your knowledge in an easy to understand yet professional manner.
Build a blog for yourself on your subject
The easiest way to stand out as an expert is to build a blog. This can be an ordinary text blog filled with articles which provide people with useful information.
Or you could make it a video blog where you post videos which contain the information your audience is looking for.
You could also put up podcasts if you do not like to make videos or write but find it easier to speak on your subject.
Finally, you could do a combination of the above to really get people interested.
Sell products, advertisement space, or offer consultation
Once you have established yourself as an expert on the subject, you can now make money. You can make money by offering advertisement space on your blog to advertisers. Since you will have a large audience, advertisers will flock to you and offer you big bucks to display their advertisements.
This is not a recommended approach but an easy one which many follow.
The smarter thing to do would be to write ebooks or make instructional videos of premium quality and sell them to your audience. The free information you provided on your blog was to establish yourself as an expert and build an audience while your premium information products such as your ebooks will earn you money from your trusted audience.
In addition to the above, you could also offer paid consultation service on your subject.
The concept of becoming an expert on a subject and then making money is no different from becoming a teacher. The concept is the same. You earning money by means of teaching a subject which you are an expert in. It is similar to public speaking in return for money.
The only difference is the medium. You are using the Internet which provides you with a much larger reach and more potential to earn money then a simple teacher who is limited to his or her school. Your school is the entire world.
