    Just out of curiosity, how did you first make money online?

    :eek: I started off with adsense, a little bit of website designing and pay per clicking :eek: (of course it's such a waste of time! Not anymore..) then things just took off from there and grew:)

    :eek: I should have reworded. Well , discovering DP when you start out earning $$ online for the first time is a great advantage because there's so much knowledge. (instead of research everything on your own... testing things out, etc)

    Started with some crappy ppc program in my country, from there moved to adsense which makes the biggest % of money for me.
    Now i'm getting tightly close with affiliate marking such as CJ and ClickBank as well. [​IMG]

    The first thing I did was offering web hosting rebates. I got into that after making a personal website for a small campaign (did it with Yahoo's editor that came with their hosting plan). I then discovered the webhosting affiliate programs, and realized that many gave big affiliate commissions. I started a website I called the-webhosting-revolution.com and started promoting it with AdWords. The keywords did cost a lot but it was well worth it. I got at least 50 bucks per sale (depending on the plan) and I actually got many because nobody was targeting those keywords and it was a good deal if you were interested in buying a hosting plan.

    Two months later everybody was doing it, and I couldn't compete because I had my finals. :)
