Websites
Create simple, one-page websites for local small businesses. In many cases, you can use material they already have, such as a brochure, logo, advertisement, etc. for the page without needing much more in the way of graphic arts or design.
Get a $5/month shared hosting account, and a free html editor like NVU. Create a few "sample" sites. Print out the screens at a Kinko's, and take them around to local businesses. Since you're just starting out, you can afford to offer very aggressive prices.
Not only will you get some "lump-sum" jobs, but most will agree to a monthly hosting fee - perhaps $10/month, essentially all profit after the first one, plus perhaps a once-per-month "update" fee to change or update the site.
Info-Products
Approach local repair shops, tradespeople, craftspeople, trainers, etc. Offer to build a new revenue source for them by creating and selling an info-product of their expertise online. They don't have to learn or do anything, and in return you split the revenues 50-50.
Spend a few days videotaping them doing their thing. Use something like Windows Moviemaker to turn it into a series of clean video segments. Ask them to spend an hour watching the video and narrating what they are doing while you record it. Transcribe the recording and turn it into a PDF. Create a simple sales page and put your new, unique info-product up on Clickbank.
CPA Offers
CPA offers don't require selling, just getting someone to fill out a form of some sort. You don't even need a landing page, just drive traffic directly to the offer using your affiliate link.
One simple way to drive traffic to CPA offers is with video. Create a video that is either funny, or bizarre, or controversial. Paste or watermark your CPA affiliate link onto the video and upload it to Youtube and other video sites (make sure you pick an offer that doesn't prohibit this).
You can create screen-capture videos by downloading Camtasia's 30-day free trial, or use pre-fab professional videos from istockphoto.com for $10-$20, or even find a "good" video already on one of the video sharing sites, and email the poster to ask for permission to use it.
Copeac, Rocket Profits, and Hydramedia all have many good CPA offers.
Affiliate Products
Do some keyword research to find a few topics that interest you and have high search volume, i.e. as Golf, Fitness, a hobby, etc. Pick an affiliate product in that niche. Register a domain name - you can get .info domain names for 2 bucks, and you'll find many more keyword-relevant .info names available than .com names. Now forward the domain name to the affiliate product landing page using your affiliate link (you don't even need a hosting account if you're just forwarding the domain).
Start writing and submitting articles, using your new, forwarded domain in the resource box, and in the article body where allowable. Write a few articles each day, and pretty soon you'll start to see sales happening.
