There was an article in BusinessWeek online that said more and more people are getting interested in earning money online. Not in one of those get-rich-quick schemes you see advertised on TV, but as a legitimate business.

I found this website PartyIdeas: Kids that was developed by a young mother to earn extra money. The site is still pretty young, only about a month old. It's a fabulous idea. She obviously has experience throwing parties for kids. I especially like all her ideas for Valentine Day Parties for Kids.

Shes' earning AdSense revenue from the Google Ads and money as an affiliate for amazon.com. I talked with her and she'll be developing an ebook on the subject of - what else - Party Ideas for Kids and sell that as well.

This is just one example of someone who had no experience earning money on the Internet and using her talents to start an online business.
