You really just have to find something you enjoy. Liking what you do is everything. But the first thing I would do is get your own website up. That will help bring the whole affiliate marketing world together for you.
I like what Troy said about affiliate marketing :)
To get your own website started (regardless of what interest/niche you choose) you'll need to get a domain name from somewhere like NameCheap or CrazyDomains, I don't really like the Godaddy interface.
Once you have a domain name you'll need to host it somewhere. Site5 is pretty good for anywhere you are in the world cos you can choose to have you servers located in the US or in other states/countries. Their first month is also free so you have time to see if it's for you or not :)

Or you could always start your own online store to sell a digital products, or maybe even import stuff from China and sell that! (That's what I do LOL)
Shopify are probably the best place to start cos they also have a free 2 week trial ;)

Let us know how it goes!!
Okay, os if you are an only child, you can very easily sell your clothes on ebay...they sell fast. You can also make an amazon account, and sell used books and such. But, those are both major franchises and I am pretty sure that they take a very SMALL portion of your profit. You can also, if you have a passion or idea, make a weebly or wix website and sell both of those things however you want, which is very easy to do. You just have to advertise a little more.
But, you can do anything to make money, honestly. Age doesn't matter. There are also very many websites where you can upload videos and get paid. I'm not sure which one it is, but for one of them you get 1 cent for every view commet or vote. So...search the web and you are bound to find something.
Selling Stuff On Ebay....Most people today are familiar with the concept: You have things you don't necessarily need but others are willing to buy, and you can auction off the items on eBay or other online auction sites. Simply gather your goods, create a seller's profile and start selling.
It sounds simple, but it takes some practice to sell successfully. Creating persuasive and legitimate product pages for the goods you're selling will help get buyers interested. It's also important to set reasonable minimum bids to ensure that people will buy. And remember to deliver the kind of customer service that will garner positive feedback ratings and to communicate with buyers to let them know you're reliable. The more positive feedback you receive, the more people will be willing to do business with you. And that, of course, means more money.
The various ways to MAKE MONEY ONLINE are to built a professional website and generate business thought by offering services. Another way is to create a professional blog and put banners and ads in it and generate reasonable amount of income through ad sense. Put the enough content in it. Last but not the least is to create a database and generate a good amount of traffic.
Well what other hobbies you have? If you're into selling stuff then you can start small and sell stuff via instagram and facebook. However you have to be familiar with how paypal works. Since you have a background with business marketing then I'm sure you'll find this step easy. I suggest you read more about social media marketing, I'm sure this will greatly help in achieving your goals.
Don't bother with the survey sites, I used a legitimate one and it took a fortnight to earn £5. Affiliate marketing is hard to do, you have to be good enough to have a lot of people looking at your content and don't bother with people who sell "hits" on ebay, they're fake. There isn't any profitable way really, or it's very difficult now.
Affiliate Marketing is the way to go.
Try looking at Private Label Rights books with resell rights to sell on your own website.
One place I've used is, master resale rights.com
Go to local garage sales, buy a bunch of cell phones and DVDs and Music CDs and antique Vinyls and sell them on eBay.
