Lets hear from everybody...

The first cent I ever made was from direct linking CPA offers by placing PPC ads in 7search. I should mention that I spent more money on the ads than I actually made in dollars.

The first profitable venture was selling on fiverr.

What I do now? Well... well...

I'm trying a bunch of different methods right now, probably more than I should at once to be honest. The highest earning one so far the past two weeks has been Fiverr. Gig orders can be tough to get, but once you have at least one good review they start to pick up. Put some effort into really selling yourself/the services you offer, and if you want you can exchange gig reviews with people here on BHW. That's my best suggestion for getting starting money.

zsimpson22, what have you tried so far, in detail? What kind of help or tips or method are you looking for? Is producing legitimate work not method enough?

Oh yea I think the methods given here so far are great. I am not doing this for myself only I am just trying to get as many people as possible to list what they made their first buck with, to help everyone who is still trying do so. I myself could use some tips in article writing right now as that is how I'm trying to get my startup money, but everyone just says practice so that is what I am doing. I am just saying things like "no one else" to get more people to list their ways of their first dollar and get the thread up to the top so people can see it.

the first method I used to make money was bulk emailing to advertise click bank products.I made like a little over $200 in two days.The product was called Dog Ninja and had a recurring payments each month but the product didn't last that long, customers started canceling their subscriptions after 3 months.

Oh, I also remember, back in 2009, there was this new file sharing site. They had an affiliate program, where they'd pay you $10 for every 1000 downloads and I dunno how much if a user buys one of their subscriptions.

I created a bot that would utilize threads. Each thread would make a connection to one of my uploaded files on the site and download the file. Here's the thing though, I would make them all connect through TOR. So I would have hundreds of Tor IPs download my files(s), and I would get credit for them. All botted views, none were real.

Each week I'd request to cash out. And they would pay me. I was so god damned excited. I literally thought I'd be able to squeeze $30K out of them. But no, I was only able to do this for about 6 weeks. But I did bank close to $500 into my paypal by doing this. Then they caught on that the views were fake and banned me.

six month is my first income from online marketing, my first online earning is from amazon

i made my first buck from fiverr.

So far, I've made tiny money from AdSense, but that's about it.
