How did you make your first dollar online?

    Personally my first $20 was back when pureprofile actually paid people for reading emails and the like.

    It was after that I got interested in really making money online and started a free blog one night hoping to maybe make just one affiliate sale; I made $630 in two days plus $20 or $25 with AdSense before a million people did the same thing and it stopped earning - but it was still a rush.

    I'm 20 now and started when I was 15, although I took a break for two years while I was travelling.

    Anyways what I'd be interested to know;

    How old were you when you started?
    How did you make your first dollar?

    I joined a HYIP program, studiotraffic if anyone can still remember it. Turned out to be a scam but I still profited.

    Hard to remember. But I think it was for promoting a wholesale dropshipping affiliate program.

    I think I did a small forum posting job for someone here. That was the first real money I made. :)

    The first dollar I ever made online was from a freebie site, or sometimes called an IFW. I got paid $20 for completing online offers.

    I made my first dollar from the great PPC site NeoBux.

    I sold my very first coded design for $10 (idiot) when I was 17 I guess. :D Luckily I quickly realized that I was almost giving my work away for free. :rolleyes:
