You wake up at 10am, walk to your home office, see how much money you made overnight and make simple tweaks to a few of your ad campaigns. You send out a few emails and answer some customer queries. Then you're free for the rest of the day. You can choose to "work" or not, it's up to you. You can choose to take the rest of the day off, while your empire of your websites brings in money for you on autopilot.

This might seem like a pipe dream, but it's a reality for thousands of people who are living the home business lifestyle. And you can live it too and be your own boss!

Here are 3 ways of making money on the Internet which allow you to quit your day job in just 30 days from now:

1. Ebay

Ebay is still one of the most popular ways to generate an income online. In fact, hundreds of thousands of people make their full-time income from this auction site. If you've ever dreamed of owning a business in your living room and shipping out real physical products and earning hundreds of dollars a day, Ebay is a great way to get started.

2. Affiliate Marketing

Broke and don't have any money to get started? Affiliate marketing is ideal. In an affiliate program, you promote a merchant's products and make a commission for every sale or action taken by a customer. There are programs called pay per lead programs which allow you to make money if visitors simply fill out a form. In affiliate marketing, you don't have to create any products or maintain any websites!

3. Content Sites

Build an empire of content sites which inform and educate visitors, as well as making you money! Monetize your content sites through affiliate links, Google Adsense ads (an awesome way to make money online), and selling of advertising space.
