Yes, there are a lot of avenues where you can make money from the internet. There are web sites that offer contractors and employers an avenue to meet and give jobs to one another. Though, I've had some friends who got ripped off with their intellectual property as the employers did not pay them, or gave something that was less than what was agreed upon. You should first make sure that you are dealing with credible ones as you might not get what you are worth at the end of the day.
