My 1st IM dollar was from Commission Junction, posting on Craigslist (which is a no-no). I'm still very active with marketing on Craigslist, just in a less transparent way.

I've expanded my offers, campaigns, strategies and overall reach drastically since but nothing like that first dollar to get you going!

I only say it is crappy in hindsight, I actually thought it was awesome at the time of publishing it. After I wrote it, almost just 2 days later I made an affiliate commission for $500 bucks.

Been addicted to internet marketing ever since.

Seriously...

My first $1 (actually it was $25) was from an online guitar course I sold through my site 4 years ago. The funny thing is that I found out about that sale long after I stopped caring about the site (in fact, the domain had expired and I hadn't renew it).

That money is still on my affiliate account with them since I didn't get to $60 which was the minimum payout

Haha that's funny. I started off trying clickbank and lost a bunch of money, got into MLM and start making and still make it today.

I never spent time learning clickbank, I really should though I know they have a lot of great products to offer

I also made my first money with my writing by submitting my stories, creative writing, poetry, and articles on my most embarrassing moments, etc. for publication in children's and later teen's magazines. The first payment came when I was only in the fourth grade. When my dad gave me that first envelope with a check for me in the amount of $3.00, I was hooked, lol! Yeah, I know, I'm old too!

I ALWAYS forget about ebay. I usually say my first online money was clickbank, but it was actually ebay.

I never really looked at ebay as "making money online" though. I looked at it more like an offline business. But I was just listing my product online. For a good 6 months I was making a killing, but I was also shipping boxes like a madman. Eventually the product I was selling got banned (which is why it was selling so good), so I stopped selling on ebay.

One more question..

What are you doing now that is making you more money?

First $45 was made by promoting a Jeff Dedrick product like 3 years ago
Then on to surveys,then social media and fverr where i did well until it slowed down to only $5 a day.
