The terms online and offline (also on-line and off-line) have specific meanings with respect to computer technology and telecommunication. In general, "online" indicates a state of connectivity, while "offline" indicates a disconnected state. In common usage, "online" often refers to the Internet or the World Wide Web. The concepts have however been extended from their computing and telecommunication meanings into the area of human interaction and conversation, such that even offline can be used in contrast to the common usage of online (e.g., "I bought those Marcus Fenix figurines offline"). Another usage runs contrary to the expected meaning: 'offline' as "from an online source", e.g. "I bought my textbook from Amazon" = "I got it offline".

They are states or conditions of a "device or equipment" or of a "functional unit". To be considered online, one of the following must apply to a device:
In contrast, a device that is offline meets none of these criteria (e.g., its main power source is disconnected or turned off, or it is off-power). From Wikipedia under the

Q. Soon I'll have a degree in health administration and I was wondering how to go about finding work online.

However making it profitable is the real challenge for any online marketer.If you want to make money online, that's great, but you need a system. You need to follow the strategies which are aleready tried n tested & are used by the champions who could make their fortune on the internet.
