How did you make your first $1000 online??

I bought a $7 PLR and made it my own by some rewriting.
Sold it for $9.95 a pop and made about $1200
I have repeated this strategy and made money in different niches.
But only buy from quality sellers.

Are you still using this technique today? How do you promote the e-book?
 
I'm making money online since I was like 14, i made 50$ here 100$ there from web hosting and ircd/eggdrop/bnc/shoutcast shells i use to sell, that summed to my first 1000$. at one point me and my partner (my age) had a dedicated server at a huge ISP data center, visiting there for the first time to install our dedicated is one of my best childhood memories (what a geek).
 
I earned first $1000 in little sections by providing some little services of SEO to local clients. And I also had done Virtual Assistant jobs of SEO as they are also worth, you do not need to think about the business that much but doing your provided tasks at time is necessary.
 
I went to junkyards and pulled car parts and resold them on ebay with good pics and good descriptions. Then I rewrote a ton of ebooks with better titles. That got me to around $10k the first year but I was super poor back then and had loads of time and not much else. Eventually started a legit business
 
I've made 500 dollars so far by streaming my own spotify songs. Hopefully I will reach over 1000 dollars soon. I am, however, worried about the tax authorities finding out since I live in Sweden and the tax authorities here are extremely strict. If you have any tips for how to avoid paying taxes on the money I recieve, from an American company with Paypal, hit me up! And if you need advice to start a similiar "business" dont be afraid to ask.

You'll sleep better if you do things the right way.

If you're just starting out, the first ~$2000 profit is exempt from tax.

Feel free to cheat companies (like you're doing with Spotify), but it'll cost you more (in time and energy) to cheat the tax office successfully than you would pay in taxes.

Back in the day I used to do MCA which was basically affiliate marketing with crazy commissions. It was sort of a pyramid scheme but technically not one...haha. Either way I stopped doing it after making over $5-6k in profits. My method involved using my actual face and persona on Facebook ads. I was tired of my friends treating me like I was some sort of scammer so I quit.

Then I took what I learned from that experience and made my own business and brought it over to Instagram. From Instagram I have made over 40k over 3 years, so really not a lot of money. I need more money so I am looking for a new income stream online.

Were you selling these books on Amazon Kindle or your own website?
 
Were you selling these books on Amazon Kindle or your own website?

I did both. Back in the day (2005-2006), I wrote good copy and sold those books via CD-rom on ebay too. Kindle was never very profitable to me, I just couldn't get it working right and a lot of the books I wrote were total duds but a bunch of them paid for the rest. Somewhere in 2008 I stopped trying to be what I viewed as "a rat scraping pennies together" and started finding actual stuff people wanted to buy. Business is simple. Find a problem that people have and solve it. If someone has already solved it, maybe they missed something and you can make a new thing that solves that issue. Straight copying someone's idea works for a short time but if you don't understand the principle, you'll never actually build anything that allows you to give your boss the middle finger and never go back. Like of a drug dealer. Sure you can make good money for a while but it's almost inevitable that you will get caught and the money will stop rolling in. Yeah, legit business isn't easy, you've got to have a thick skin sometimes and your customers WILL criticize you from time to time but that's the name of the game. But I get to do something I'm actually proud of, an original idea that came out of my head and people pay me money for and I don't have to be secretly embarassed or worry that what I do is hurting someone I don't know. Not everyone on here will agree but to me, that's a good feeling.
 
Got paid 100 USD for writing E-mail sales copy on Upwork (was known as oDesk back then).
 
Private Labeling Cellulite Cream on Amazon. Thanks to one Dr Oz TV segment, I sold out of product and had a little over $6k in sales in less than 24hrs. Exciting times.
Oh man, I did that too for a while. Dr. Oz was a godsend, he'd recommend something and then you just had to scramble to get it made and sell it and you could make a boatload. I did that with Garcinia Cambogia. $12k in a month. I miss those times.
