Story Behind making your first $$$ ??

Wait I thought you meant first money online :D

When I was like 9 or 10 I used to buy chewing gum in bulk which ended up costing like 10 cents (euro) per pack,
and I would resell those chewing gums to people in school.
I'd end up selling like 10-20 packs a day for 50 cents each. So I made 5-10 euro mostly profit a day.

Eventually a teacher caught on to what I was doing and told me I can't do it anymore :(

I was 14 years old (year was 2006). I worked for two days in a kart company from a family friend of mine, and I was so physically tired I got out. I was 14 years old. This gave me strength to search on how to make money online and by this time I started my first WordPress blog (portuguese, as I'm brazilian). In a matter of 2-3 months I got my first client, who needed to submit all his blog posts in several aggregators. He paid me R$250,00, which was around U$70,00 by that time more or less. It was around 1,000 pages haha.
 
Tied shoes for other kids in kindergarten for a few cents.
Sold pirated games in elementary school.
Partnered with a local game store and was modding Wiis for $30 while I was in highschool.
 
Lol you guys were earning money at the age of 11 or 12 ? Hats of.

I was running around naked in my village around that age. Swimming in ponds, climbing different trees, didn't have much knowledge of internet that time.

it was not until I turn 19 years old when I first earn my money through affiliate marketing. My first amount is 75$.

This really is going to show my age.

Back around 1980 at school there used to be some kids who got free meal tickets, these were valued at 25p if I recall.
I used to buy these for them for 15p in cash so they could go to the local sandwich shop, fish & chip shop or where ever they wanted to do so.

I used to then offer these tickets with the 25p face value to other kids who had to buy school lunches and sell them for 20p.
I would sell 25-20 a week on average, plus I used to have lunch in school 4 days a week, so I was getting a 25p meal for 15p each time.

You are quite a talented guy. Only few in the world made money online at that age.
 
Seems like most of you made your first money at a very young age
 
My first money made was a JV with school mates
We were selling cold yoghourt to students of our school (we were always sold out even before assembly time) I wanted us to expand the business but my partners were not really business oriented and they were also scared of the school authorities
