    It's easy but the money isn't good. Well, no better than a day job that is. It's not glam at all, and can be very boring, with sometimes long days for low pay. The thread above is a good one to read through. Avoid any agency that tried to charge you upfront for anything - they're not always scammers, but usually, and there are plenty of others who do not charge an admin fee at all, or take it from your first/ second job with them, and a percentage in commission thereafter. Good luck :)
