How to Make Your First $1 Online?

Another one I'm considering is microworkers...if someone has any expirience please share

I think providing services is one of the best ways to start in internet marketing, because it will provide you with a relatively consistent income that you can then use to invest in tools and resources that you will need as you progress in your online marketing.

Services like content and graphic creation will always be in demand, and if you learn and develop these skills they will always serve you well and come in handy even when you become a big internet marketer -- they will not go to waste.

fiverr is not really an easy place to earn your first dollar. I have been there since 2013, haven't got even a single penny yet.

Solid advice, once someone makes their first $1 dollar online is like a mental mind shift, suddenly they realize its possible and become really motivated to scale their online business. In this case for a totally new beginner an online job is a great starting choice.

The best way to earn your first dollar is to do any task or provide a service on fiverr like Kelvin stated.

If you don't have any particular skills then you can learn from youtube or udemy courses instead of wasting your time on chansing the every shiny object or stupid WSO's.

I made my first $5 using affiliate marketing.

Made my first $1400 selling a merchant account. That was the first sale I ever made. Never looked back.

First find out what skills you have writing, development ,designing etc and do freelancing in various freelancing websites. You are going to make money for sure. If you don't have much skills find a niche become expert in it. There is tons of material around here. Just dig and start doing.

Client work is profitable, usually, but is also a real pain in the butt.

Sell a product whenever possible. It's one sale, fire and forget. It's done and over with after the first transaction.

Client work, you have to keep going back over and over again. Most of my work is with clients and it's not easy. Yes it can have big paydays. But the PITA factor is very high. Much preferable to sell a product.

My first online sale was a product. $20. But I had some expertise, and here's the funny thing...

I made it myself in 2011 with the tools I had available.

Which was a laptop with a low-res camera.

No editing.

I just hit "Start Recording" and what I said, pauses and all, was what they got.

Sold that product for years.

People loved it because the content was great.

The point is: you can let things stand in your way...or you can just get on with it.

What do you have expertise in?

What can you make a product about (which should take you no more than a couple days) and market in front of a target audience?

I didn't do MMO; I did sales training.

You can get lost in the herd if you're not careful.

So where can you get Leads from a target market?

A bidding site for freelance projects does give you that opportunity.

It also, unless you are good at branding and positioning, places you immediately in high competition with other people--who, to the client, look exactly the same as you.

Now we're down to the cheapest price winning the order.

Now you're conditioning yourself to accept the lowest price.

Not a game I care to play.

Much better to create a product (doing the work ONCE instead of over and over with clients), get it in front of a target audience, and make sales.

I wouldn't do it here, at least not in the main forum, either. Too much saturation. Even with experienced people, there's the "Who can I trust?" mentality, combined with an overloading of "Make Money Online NOW! Get Filthy Rich In Seventeen Minutes!" baloney.

Go somewhere you can stand out.

Somewhere you can answer specific questions from a specific audience.

Get known for being able to do that.

Then you'll sell. People will want to buy.

Jumping in here with product and noise that looks and sounds exactly like everyone else is, frankly, pretty dumb. Not a surprise it's tough to make sales with that approach.

Client work comes with its own problems and you can get caught in the "lowest price" mentality and marketplace. Working for bottomfeeders isn't fun or a valuable long term strategy.

There are many thread similar yours one. You can use the search tools to get this question's answer. My first online earning was earned from Facebook in 2011. After earning a small amount, I was so excited. Then my work speed was so increased. The earning inspired me to work more & more. Thanks

There are actually many ways to get your first $1 online. First is to determine your talents and put them into good use using different freelancing avenues in the internet i.e. Fiverr, elance, odesk, iwriter, etc. If you can write an ebook or any guides that can help people to solve their problems, you can also sell them on Tradebit.com, just post and go, if somebody buys them then you get the money! If you're good in arts and crafts, you can also create your unique stuff and sell them on Etsy.com. The good thing with these money-making avenues are their heavy traffic. You can still do marketing but you don't need SEO and any other means of internet marketing. However these avenues are saturated so a good process and a little bit of tweak make your products or services stand out.

I'd agree on using Fiverr.

However, one should know that Fiverr isn't easy. It's dedication and hard work (like everything else). Even to get your very first sale. When that day occur, you need to keep focus because that's when the ball can start rolling.

Thank you all for the great suggestions! Forex trading is another way to go...Binary, I'm not too sure. I've had money stuck in 2 binary accounts, but I've tried 2 Forex accounts and could easily withdraw my money.

There are several ways for you to make your first dollar online. For me, the easiest way to do it is by applying on quick simple jobs online. When I make my first dollar online, I registered to a forum where updated quick jobs are available, and that's where it all started.

I made my first money of fiverr logo design

I made my first dollars online on Upwork and PeoplePerHour. I now have setup my own blog teaching others how to make money online. You can sign up to my free 10 day course on how to make money online with websites.

Make Money Online With Websites

I made my first dollar uploading files

If you are just looking to only earn $1 you can try out sites like swagbucks or usertesting. But personally i would rather go with affiliate marketing, that allows you to create a database and eventually scale up to rake in sustainable profits.

I have to agree with you folks. My first dollars came from fiverr and very grateful as I learn't a lot. Now I'm on long holiday mode in fiverr thanks to another business I'm focusing on.

Providing services is the easiest way to make your first dollar online.


As long as you have a valuable skill- writing articles, design skills, etch, you will make money almost immediately.


head over to fiver to get started now

I would do affiliate marketing. Its one of the easiest and fastest ways. You can do something like a CPA or cost per action network. Somebody like adsense or say an offer from peerfly. Possibilities are almost endless as new opportunies arrive on a daily basis just about.

Learning right off the bat that you can't just promote your affiliate url and make sales. In todays marketplace you need to seperate yourself from your compeition and you do this by creating your own capture page and sales funnel leading your prospect into your paid affiliate offer.

Set it up all correctly your not selling anything and your prospect naturally purchases what ever it is your offering. Thats when your conversions go from like 0.05 1 maybe 2% to like 20 percent and higher.

Might sound impossible now but focus and learn it and within a week or less you could have something together if you did it all yourself.

Course then you need to get some numbers so you can start to optimize it or make it better. In the end it all comes down to conversions.

So simple a newbie can do it....

once you understand!

I managed to earn a lot with freelancing as a graphicdesigner on Elance, ex Odesk and Genuine Jobs.

This is sad. All the gurus bragging about their big money and here we have someone wanting just a buck..just a dollar...?

ideas - this works well in Key West - put a sign around your neck saying "H//l no I don't want to work I just want a dollar for a beer"....then have a paypal link

go big - ask for 2 bucks to cover the fees

I think this is a valid idea and might actually bring in some $$$

Only a dollar? Offer to do something for $5 on Fiverr.

I made my first few dollars on gpt sites.

You can offer simple service like writing articles and earn your first dollar either here or on Fiverr.

Once you get motivated, set a higher target

I like this saying :

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."

I made my first $90 online selling a Clickbank product. Got my hop link and advertised on Craigslist.org. Of course, I did not get the email addresses of the people that purchased. But that was exciting until the CB product owner said I could not direct my leads to his page! I was confused so I stopped.

A friend mentioned to me that Craigslist may not allow advertising like that. Not sure. I did this maybe four or five years ago.

All I can say that it was exciting until..... I got bummed. But now I'm back to master internet marketing.

I actually made my first dollar at Elance. Then, I made my first big sale at Flippa. Went on from there. I tried Fiverr, but ended up quitting in the end.

yeah I found these freelancing websites pretty decent to make first dollor, because you don't need to do lots of work in generating traffic. Just create a job around your skill and knowledge.

though I earned my first dollor through product launch - sold pack of graphics .

Invest time and $ to Create a blog/site and write articles!
Invest $ to buy domain
Invest $ to hosting service.
Invest $ to create Landing Page.
Invest $ for your autoresponder.

Invest $$ to get traffic.

After that I need to earn more than a dollar!

I like this thread i must say! thumbs up! Can you recommend a specific tutorial that is comprehensive enough to initiate one into freelance writing and video testimonial Gig??

One dollar ?? I can suggest some gaming sites where you can earn $1 easily by only playing them or there are survey sites from where anyone can make a dollar online.

I have used Fiverr to makemy first $4 as they deduct $1 for admin
Also used eBay and sold two items price 99p Wow! That made my head spin
Many times tried Clickbank, but never made any sales

Fiverr is very good for those starting out indeed.

lol, this goal is incredible very low, if you want 1$ just do some clicks in Neobux

I use YouTube to earn first 1$.
I like that way to earn money with YouTube Partner Program
