IM isn't what some people make it seem like. It is a lot of work, and a lot of learning. My suggestion would be since you enjoy music, start your own music blog, create links to it, and when you start to get some decent traffic, put some clickbank or amazon products on your site.

My advice is to find an aspect of IM that you are interested in, i.e. blogs, Twitter, Facebook, etc. and learn all you can about it. Find out how people are making money off them. The biggest problem I see with new (and old) IM'ers is they jump from one get rich quick scheme to another. Find somethign and stick with it!
