I sell my signature link on here. I get few bucks, about 10 $, someone kind offer to buy signature from newbie member for a week then pay me for 10 $. How happy i am
I started a celebrity site back in 1997. I then charged a membership for it to help pay for the bandwidth, people paid it, and here I am 13 years later.
The first money I made online was writing copy (emails) for a TV media company. It was very exciting at the time and paid pretty well -- 2 g's for a month's worth of part time work.
I setup a web site to generate income from PPC many many years ago. I think I made around two dollars after a couple months
I put adsense ads on my sites years ago. First $1 made online, and still my best paying source for money.
I did something that made me feel awful. I lied. I'm serious. I wrote a review of a product I knew nothing about as if I were using it. I made money, too. But I think that one review paralyzed me for months. I just couldn't write another. I felt silly because writing a review is writing a review, but for some darn reason I just couldn't do another. I usually have a callous where my conscience is, but lying in a review didn't work for making money online. Not for me. Outside of anything else, having a good reputation is important. And knowing I was risking it bothered the dickens out of me. Now I write what I think. I am what I am, so I have a reputation that aligns with what I really am. That might not work for everyone, but it does for me. At least I write.
Made it doing affiliate marketing using PPC. But found PPC to be too expensive and wasn't covering my losses. Now I've found much better luck with Google Sniper and the new "My Online Business Strategy" method.
