Try playing around with Flash, if you have never used it before learn how to make simple movie clips and animations, this is a great way to get to know all of the bells and whistles of the program you are using, if you know someone with experience ask them for advice, maybe you can team up, one can do the programming for the game while the other can do the graphics and animations.
Next test your game, if it's your first game you're probably going to have bugs, let others test it out, there are gaming sites that allow you to upload your free games for others to beta test.
Feedback is a crucial part of developing a good flash game, see what users have to say, if possible make modifications then upload again.
After you have worked out a few flaws try to find someone to sponsor your game, many online gaming sites will pay you if you let them add their logo and a link to their site on your game. If your game is good it could be accepted from various sites, if not try using Mochi-ads, they will share the revenue from in games ads with you, depending on how many plays/views your game gets.
Try to get your game on as many sites as possible, upload it to big gaming portals, then you can add a button in the game saying "add this game to your site". The more sites that add the game results in more popularity and recognition which ultimately results in higher earnings.
To review: Try to develop a game that is original, if not try making a remake of a popular game, but make changes to improve the overall quality of the game, game players around the web are always looking for fun and unique games that they can play thousands of times over and over again.
