How did you make your first $ on the internet?

Personally, putting aside e-commerce transactions (ebay etc), I did my first dollar on the internet by promoting Udemy courses on a blog I created yeaaars ago: . So the very first time I made money online was through affiliate marketing !

Created a haircut salon management application for somebody on the internet as a freelancer. That's when I thought "I better get to building a product cause freelancing is hard :D"
ha that's true.
Selling custom URLs on generated my first income, back in 2018. To this day, the site still brings in ramen money and delivered lots of spam free messages :)
So simple yet so efficient. Pretty cool ! did you ever share how much money you made from this project ?
Thx! Yah, made it to scratch my own itch :) A custom link is $19, so that's how much I made initially. These days it brings an average of $300/month
neat !
Please get in touch if you want a custom contact link: All of these are still available: sydney, cohen, chnsydney :) PS: I can hook you up for free
sure happy to try it :), sydney would be fun
I earned my first $ by freelancing; I wrote a guest blog, and earned $150 from it. It was pretty cool.
That's great! What is your niche?
I identify SaaS business as my niche. While I worked on this piece, I was mostly writing about cloud-based inventory management process.
Cool! Would like to read your blogs..any links?
Selling icon on iconfinder. Next step is making illustrations :)
As a designer this is pretty cool. Which Icon did you sell first ?
a classic icon pack about web development (arrow, logout, cart, user ...)
pack work great ! I've seen a friend do that for drone videos as well
I was able to win AWS Amplify hackathon on March 4, 2021. I won $1000, it is my first money and the biggest price till date.
amazing ! I've seen many successful startups who initially met at hackathons
In 2006 with Google AdSense :)
give us more details :)
Not really proud of it 😅 Just some spammy SEO things with high volume keywords.
ha I see 😅
12 years ago i made my first dollar with firefox download, Google was paying one dollar for every firefox download plus 2 dollar for every google satellite map software download. Then i learn adsense, after one year i was making 6 figure a year with 100k monthly unique visits 20cents to 1$ cpc. The search ranking was easy to trick on that time then came the panda on 2011 and my website was hit by 2012. Adsense still active you may give it a try.
I was a domainer in 2000 at 15 year old, buying and selling domain names. ( back then there were mostly just top level extensions .com .net .org and the iPhone didn't exist, and although I was a ui/ux designer in training and did generate income from various websites in my portfolio most of my revenue came from my portfolio of over 5,000 domain names that I registered, bought and sold at a very high profit margin. - Ha good times.
so interesting. What kind of prime domain did you sell ?? Do you still own some ?
Ha so many I was working on brokering fire.com and marriage.com at one time, years later on I focused on something called back ordering of expiring domains but my primary focus was on going to registers marketplaces and buying about to expire domain names for pennies and selling them for hundreds if not thousands of dollars before they expired and I had to pay the yearly registration fee. Additionally I also would actually travel to supermarkets in 2000 and check packages of actual products to see if the domain names were expired by the co's and register them and park them or try and sell it back to the co's.
This is shady I love it 😂
How to play guitar affiliate marketing. We had a website that produced guitar chords. The sad truth is we stopped because we thought that it takes too long to make serious money. Long story short. If we would have kept going then we would have been rich now. :D Lesson learned. Never quit too soon.
thats interesting ! Same happened with me with elearning affiliate, took like 12 months to make the first sales and by then I was already looking at doing something else. Great lesson indeed !
Yeah. We where like: "Hey man, it takes little over one year to make 3k per month. We find something better..." 9 years later I am still not making 3k per month 🤣🤣
so true !
