A paid to click site. 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.
damn you should run away with the first cash
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.damn you should run away with the first cash

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

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

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.
