When & How did you make your 1st Dollar$$ Online?

Advertise on BHW
Made $2 in June 2009 with writing two articles for someone from freelancer. I don't know why I did not scale it up and wasted all this time with university and some internships :D Recently, I have been motivated to get back at it again and scale big time.
 
I don't remember exactly but I started out doing private services for people and doing some microworker jobs.
 
That's awesome! I never got around to tackling fiverr directly.

I made my first $$ from Fiverr with Quora QA service 3 months ago,it was really very special when my first customer wrote very good reviews for me,simply was cloud on nine.:)

2010...online casinos. Just some SEO on a couple of sites brought me about $6,000 total because I lucked out and picked up a customer who basically gambled away his life savings. Then the affiliates became garbage on payouts and Google took it's dump on online casinos. After that, I ran CLAD on CL selling the leads to car dealerships. And then CL did it's thing on that...So now I'm here currently in the trial phases of the next big venture :)
 
I met this person who is a member of this website. We became good friends through Facebook and he soon told me about Fiverr. At that time (about two years ago) I was still working in an office. I opened an account in Fiverr as an article writer and manual bookmarking vendor. Somebody bought the gigs and left good reviews and after that there was no turning back. I am still working in an office but I now have extra cash writing articles. I am trying to do other things but so far I have had no time to really concentrate on it.
 
Nice. Outsourcing is definitely the way to go once you get established.

In 2009, it was an outsourcing site called Rent-A-Coder which was later acquired by Freelancer.com. It was a job for promoting a music video on social networking sites. Made $40 off it.

1993, I sold a directory of cool, must know about websites as an email list promoted on BBS and newsgroups. Yahoo opened up a year later and put me out of business. Took an absence of a few years and started back up doing some things locally but did not make any real money online again until Google Content Targeting Advertising came out (now called Adsense) with MFA autoblog farm hosted on a local university (that I never attended) computer center.

A lot has changed... huh. None of this would work today!

That must have been a long 8 months.

$100.14 from Amazon US. I had received $83 for a single sale on an a big LCD TV, then had to wait about 8 months for a few smaller commissions to reach the $100 threshold, and just managed to crawl over it by a few cents. I had heard about people in the U.K. having to wait months for the check to arrive, but mine arrived in deepest-darkest Wales in less than a week.

2009, made $200 from e-whoring. Then hooked up on IM ever since.
 
My first $1 was made via another forum for work at home moms. Someone provided me with writing work back in 2011 and I made $50 off it. Since then I have been writing online full time and each month holds surprises.
 
2012- Doing the Crashed Challenge here on BHW. I created a silly site about Wine Tasting - no research and planning before whatsoever. Low quality spun content, but still made me about $200 on Amazon & AdSense.
