    The moment I saw Prodigy offered on a Tandy computer at Radio Shack for the first time. I think it was 1986.

    Not necessarily money on net but my first step was around 4 years ago when someone tried to charge me 50 quid to INSTALL ram. A good friend convinced me to do it myself, i was truly gobsmacked. That got me to consider even playing with computers. 30 day challenge i stumbled on totally by accident - that was the point in my life that i lost interest in practically any other hobby...

    I knew you could make serious money when a friend of mine was pulling 4k a month at 14 years old after making one of those nifty games where you link people using your tracking code and level up or w/e.

      In 2008 ... I knew you could make some serious money when I was writing long articles for affiliate marketers at $100 each, which they were getting widely syndicated, using to build up residual income and regularly coming back for more: it wasn't exactly a huge intellectual leap to work out that in the long run I'd make a lot more by writing them and doing the affiliate marketing for myself.

    For me it was when Netscape came out and did their thing for a little while, and then suddenly sold for some huge crazy money. That's when it hit me....

    HOLY SH*3ew3#4T... How in the world did they do that? I got look into this internet stuff....

    After that, I created a pretty crappy website by todays standards and started to sell and invention online that a friend and I created back in the day.

    Anyone remember? Drum roll please..... "The Hatchback Helper"! Sold a few units... it was fun.

    It was like 1997 when I realized that you could open a Yahoo store and they would include your products in their database. Pretty easy money back then

    I made a few dollars from Amazon back in the 90's but it wasn't until about 2004 I heard of people living off their income online from running websites so that is when I started....
