The internet has presented us with a world of new opportunities. We can now communicate, share and access information like never before. This has allowed online many businesses to thrive, in loads of different sectors. The internet allows people to earn money, or start a business without many resources. There are some amazing success stories of kids who have set up websites on the cheap as a hobby, and they have progressed into million dollar businesses! The list of ways of earning money online is endless, but we are going to cover some of the major ones.
Stocks and Shares
The wealth of information available to us makes the process of evaluating stock prices much more achievable. Whereas you would previously have had to have some sort of inside link to be kept up to date with the latest developments of a company, we can now access this information as and when it happens. This has allowed people to research the value of stocks, and buy them when they are cheap. This is a risky game, however. In order to make money off the larger (safer) sticks (i.e. FTSE100 firms) you must invest a lot of money, to make a relatively small return. And by investing in the smaller (higher risk/higher return) stocks, you can risk a lot to win a lot.

You don’t have to be Neo to start programming…
When I was in kindergarten, my mother found out that there was no full-time computer lab teacher at my school. This was Austin in the early ‘90s, and we had a lot of parents who worked at tech firms like IBM and Dell, but kids were only learning how to touch-type. My mother and another woman got together and ultimately ran the computer lab full-time.
What’s the real difference between angels and venture capitalists and which should I choose?
