There are two possibilities:
- The easy way: Clone Bitcoin or an existing altcoin, don't abuse with premining and maybe add an airdrop to get a good bunch of shills. Invest a LOT of time in marketing at Bitcointalk and other platforms. Add sometimes some irrelevant code to prove "you're developing actively". If you're lucky, you can get some thousands of $ of profit, but it will last only for a short time. - The hard way: Look for a problem that cryptocurrencies actually have. One example is scalability / blockchain size. Create a concept that solves that problem. Or alternatively: think about a useful feature actual cryptocurrencies do not have. You must also invest a lot of time and money in marketing, but the potential outcome is better and will last longer. That's the way Peercoin, NXT, NEM, Ethereum and even (to certain extent) Litecoin (with shorter confirmation times) were created.
