Soccer,
There are many ways that you can make money online without a website, my friend owns a network, never has had the need to make a site (other than the one for his network or domains for his own offers) and he is more than comfortable with his current income (6figs).
Use paid traffic sources, now this will require an initial investment and your almost certain to lose moniez at first, but with time, learning, and continued growth in experience with what works and what doesn't - you will eventually be able to get a campaign profitable.
Do some research (use your brain - its your best free tool! =] ). Regarding paid traffic sources, IMO the most important thing is keyword targeting - this is how you select whom the ad will and will not appear to. So do a lot of market research, know the audience that you want to target, and the demographics - it's a lot like fishing, you have to find the right lure, make it dance right to be enticing, but most of all your goal is to get em' on the hook (convert).
There is PPC, PPV, media buys (display), etc.
Pay Per Click, i.e. G. Adwords - however, stay away from Google, because it will eat a newbie alive if you use a general KW or not enough negatives, many a time people have set up an ad, gone to sleep and wake up only to find that their budget was blown through over the night without a single convert. I would start out with 2nd tier S.E. like Chitika, 7search, etc, or yahoo and bing are a better option too.
Pay Per View - these are the pop-ups & pop-under that you see and can occur on their own by clicking out of an ad (happens to me when I want to watch one of my favorite anime - i click to exit the ad to see the play button and bam! a pop-up) or occurs when a user installs a toolbar (adware - not to be confused with malware which is malicious and usually attempts to disrupt your computer or collect info), when the user goes to a website, a ad is served that is relevant to that site.
Media buys - exactly how it sounds, your buying ad placements on websites. Some examples would be Pulse360 (way to competative and saturated for a newbie so stay away for now), TribalFusion, Glam Media (targets women), and many more. There should be a long list of online of various ad networks, use search. I have a list of over 200+ self-serve ad networks for nearly every market I can think of (and Im still relatively new).
Mobile Ad Networks - Mobile is booming right now, do some research on this. Its not that hard either, compared to having to make your own landers and such. You can do simple text ads or push notifications. Im currently running dating using banners, LEARN PHOTOSHOP and basic html/coding, these are essential in IM, atleast for starters, there is much much more to learn.
Like I said do some research, no one on any forum will take you by the hand and guide you, nor do they like super newbie questions or question that can be answered by using the search button - its a pet peeve for most since there are so many newbs, most will fail bc they are lazy and will not put in the work. I know this personally, took me 6 months to finally get a campaign started (I was studying tho in the mean time..but still should of started way sooner.)
Lastly, jump in the water with both feet, nothing will help you learn more than application. So find a cheap ad network with a low min. deposit and GO FISHING!
Hope this helps, if it does, feel free to hit that "Like" button on the right

Thanks & Good Luck!
