So I am curious about how to make some money on the internet. I know plenty of people can make money from youtube doing youtube channel stuff. But I would like to know what are some legitimate ways that I could make money from the internet? Have you tried to make money online and how successful were you?

You can buy and sell online. For example a lot of people go to garage/estate sales, thrift shops, auctions, rummage sales and buy merchandise when they then sell online. Look at eBay for the extremely wide range of products involved.
