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

I made my first dollar online from cashcrate. I couldn't believe when the check came in the mail.
 
I was abusing an affiliate program in my country

it was a dating website and they paid like 0.25 per female registration and 0.15 per male registration

I found a website where you can hire people to do simple tasks (tasks that take like 1-5 mins) for several cents

So i posted a job for 3 cents and people had to register on that affiliate dating site as a female to get the task done

So in fact I bought registrations from real people for 3 cents and got paid 25 cents per every registration. That was my first "business" that last for several months and then I got banned =)

Lol., Glad to hear that was your first earnings but I'll never understand using those PTC sites in that way.
Back in 2007, i earned 5$ using PTC site. Damn good old days.. Used to spam the forums to get referrals, earned cents by cents and bough referrals then prayed that the referrals should click everyday.. whooo!!
 
I think there's still a big market for that kind of service and tons of money to be made.
My first one was in 2004 and was around $ 150.00 in service related areas for content creation.

K.
 
Made 1200 from Yahoo answers + Clickbank + adsense
That method was literally a cash generator, too bad it's dead now. Easiest cash I ever made.
 
Discovered IM at the end of June 2014, launched my first Affiliate website Aug 22nd and started learning SEO. I got my first sale for $7 on Sept 30th but it was totally random because I didn't see another sale until mid Nov, but now they're coming in ever 3 - 5 days so at least its consistent! I'm shooting for my first $100 month to kick off 2015.
 
Made a few grand off runescape, at first it was having my own account farm, then gold farm...

Then made a youtube account to make pk videos and vlogs, made about $250 from there.

This was 2011>2012

This year just getting back into it, and made my first $4 off fiver a week ago #WeekAgo
 
Started playing minecraft. Found it pointless, but noticed people buying stuff on servers for real money. So I started my own server a year ago. The revenue started rolling in within 3 months. Made ~14k so far. But as a typical college student, I blow it all as I receive it. Ugh, I really need to start saving.
 
Started creating web 2.0 tier 1 links for clients and also through Youtube adsense....its was like $20
 
I made my first couple dollars selling on eBay around October 2014.

Its still my best earner, but I am always researching new and better ways to earn.
 
Why didn't you bring it over to ebay? and Selling watches was also one of my first business' online.
not sure when, but should be somewhere before year 2000, selling watches at yahoo auction. Profit margin was good, but yahoo decided to end the auction platform and there gone my 1st online income.
 
Went onto Digital Point and resold a service I seen there on another blackhat forum.

My biggest online method was to follow who was doing a massive project launch and buy domains close to their's but spelled incorrectly (I'm horrible at spelling so I inherently kicked ass at this) and just did a domain redirect to a affiliate link. I got a commission from Clickbank muchhhhh later but it was for like $260.
