This is what Steve calls exchanging time for money.

Now I can also make a program once, and sell it on my website. I do the same amount of work, but I make it so that more people can use it than just one company. I can sell this product over and over again.

I just created a little bit of value (also by affiliates and adsense on the site in my sig), and thus making just a little bit of money. But don't let this discourage you: this is more passive than working for a boss. On the internet you'll be leveraging value/technology instead of time.
Thanks for your explanation, Saidin.
