Car washing business when I was about 10 or 11.

I sourced out the best products, learned how to clean cars properly and had flyers printed. Went door to door doing sales and left flyers with people.

I charged between £2 and £5. I can't remember exactly, but I do recall the cheapest was £2 and the full with a wax and wheel clean was around £4-£5. I even calculated my margins and made sure it was all profitable before I started. Costed out my products and created different tiers for the service. :)

This would be the early 90's, so it was good money. I needed to carry a little stool so I could reach the top of the cars.

I was only doing it part time(weekends), so it was just "pocket money", but it was fun and I made what was pretty decent money for that age.

I started off just doing basic washes for £1 to build up enough to get the good products and have the flyers printed. I always loved business and creating products.

Most of us would be too young to do something like that at the age of 10-11years. Hat's off to you..
 
first money I made was ‘pocket money’ getting paid just to be alive from my parents
 
Growing up my brother(9) and I(12) lived behind the local Sports Stadium. The old lady that took care of the place would pay us $5 each to clean the bleachers after the last game, we were small enough to fit under them to pick up rubbish.

That was our first taste of real money.

She was nice, after closing time she would let us shoot some hoops and practice our WWF moves on the gym mats. As long as we stayed out of the Score Box and Canteen it was all good. (We didn't go in honest;))

That all stopped when she passed and the sons took over the Stadium and everything turned to shit.

God I miss the 80s
 
I used to sell pirated CDs of video games back in the day-- think 2004-2007. Most of my customers were other school mates who used to save up their lunch money to buy games at Rs. 50 per CD [$0.63 at today's value]. So, the bigger games I managed to sell, the more money I'd earn. The most I had made is from selling are GTA Sandandreas and PoP Warrior Within, which required 6 CDs and 3 CDs respectively.

Mind you, this is the era when DVDs were just starting to get popular and not everyone had DVD roms in their PCs.
 
In 2011, I got my first adsense cheque. Made some money before that also like with Fiverr.
 
Selling rare bootleg pokemon cards in school.

Principal had to stop my operations because some parents called the school that their kids don't have money for lunch anymore.

Good times.
 
I made my first money on Adworkmedia as a publisher few years ago.
 
I earned my first buck by penning articles, or you can name it freelancing. After that, I handled a team of writers.
 
It was a freelancing writing gig for $50
Funny enough, I got scammed by the next client
 
i earned my first money using only one phone because it wasn't considered virtual 2. i have installed it on the application for selling hand-made goods
 
It was 20-40$ this was back in 2010 when content locking was still pretty new, I found a lil wayne mixtape online and made a content locker for it, it was pretty popular so people searched for it. I put the cd behind a really old school content locker, cpalead would have been better but i hadnt found them till a month later. I posted a comment on some news article site on google and some people found my link and downloaded the cd. It wouldnt work good on a large scale but it was really exciting.
 
i made my first $$ selling the nba cards(kobe and AI) my father bought me. This happened way back in the early 90s
 
Delivering flyers for the water district. Paid by the hour. Deliver all the flyers in about an hour, go home, play Nintendo for an hour or two, then return to collect my pay. :D
 
There was some hosting 10 years back, they had some forum and after completion of certain posts they allow you to withdraw money, i made appx 500 post and made about 20 usd. My first.
