Step 1
Go to Squidoo.com and create your new profile. The best thing to do is to highlight areas of expertise and completely fill your profile. If you don't have an area of expertise, list things that seriously interest you. Also add a picture of yourself so people have a face to go along with the articles. You don't want to seem obscure on a site like this. You want to be viewed by other people as memorable, confident in your area of interest/expertise, and have something they want to hear.

Step 2
The product. Maybe you already have a product to sell or maybe you need one. If you have a product that you would like to sell online, you will want to write articles that pertain to your product. For instance, if you want to promote a nutritional product, write articles about how to live healthy by exercising and eating right. Link the page to your own website so readers can purchase (or learn more) your nutritional product. If you don't have your own product, that is completely fine! You can select from tens of thousands to sell as an affiliate. You may need to create a Paypal account so you can be paid through the internet. It's pretty simple. go to Paypal.com and create a payment account.

So you need a product. Go to Clickbank.com. Create an account. Start searching but be specific to your interest or area of expertise. Keep it simple. Don't try to tackle different areas of interest, this will just make your head spin. Once you find a product that interests you. You can create a "Hop link" (a product link with your information) to post on your Squidoo account. Now with this Hop link , if someone clicks on it and purchases the product, you will get credit and the money will be transferred into your Paypal account.
