How did you make your first $1 online?

[gizmo92]

micro niche site. hell i didn't even knew that was the name for that. guy asked me to putup a site with adsense in mind. now 40% of my business runs with that start.

*this was 2008-9 i guess.

A quite known paid to click site back in the days. Cashed out my first $100+ clicking ads and getting referrals. Then, I spent most of the money buying referral packages. Got a few hundred more in my account but never got paid.

I got paid for my review on amazon. I'm still earning by proving amazon reviews now ( mainly unverified reviews) and looking for someone to coop.

Yeah. Was just a kid then and did not know how shitty the paid to click model was. Still, net gain was around $20 (the remaining amount I did not spend on that site) so it wasn't that bad.

Made my 1st online dollar as a synthetic weed affiliate. That was almost 10 years ago! Thanks for reminding me, but I made my for 5k selling social media services.

I helped to fix wordpress plugin for my friend

 

[PremiumAds]

I think I made something like $12 with adsense by asking friends to click on my ads, and then I got banned.
So then I wrote articles for a friend and he paid me like $20.
This was way back before I even understood IM, like 2007 or so, how naive I was. If only I'd known, I would had enjoyed the golden age at full bloom.
Good thing many years later I got into it and still going strong

CPA and a certain classified site not discussed here.. $12.50! XD

Adsense was my first - if it counts, have still not reached the min payment lol I rarely use it
After that I tried reselling hosting, all was well until the server becomes overloaded and slow as hell, also sold domain registrations using myorderbox or something, made like £400 then their (the account above me in the chain) paypal account was suspended and they wouldn't/couldn't fix it, mine got suspended because of it as well (people placing orders then filing refund), was like 4 years before I found the old bank card and could put in the numbers to unlock it, I try to learn from my mistakes so I take a note of these now just in case

Same here, back then I didn't understand a thing so never really jumped on to anything, seriously regret it now. I guess it's only going to get harder (broadly speaking) as the years roll by, in another 10 years time we could be looking at now as the good old days

Mturk. Works great if you are still unsure of what to do.

 

[dotcomer2]

Gosh I am trying to remember but I believe I made it with real estate leads, made like 1000 a month back then with that.

 

[thenightwassaved]

Google back in the day. Never got enough to cash out though.

I technically have money in tons of ad accounts all across the net over the last decade.

Anonymous Ads is pretty much the only one I've been able to cash out of but it still in bitcoin form.
