How did you make your first dollar internet marketing?

Writing articles for others

My first dollar earned was almost on accident, years ago I put up a three page mini site that was promoting a dvd to psp converter. I had no idea about keyword research, seo or anything. I just made some graphics, typed up a bunch of text about the product and posted it. I ended up making a couple hundred dollars and it planted the seed of IM in me and I have been hooked ever since.

I designed a website selling crystals approx 10 years back. Got #1 on google for 18 months for term spirit quartz (amethyst)

First sale was $450 after 10 days from search engine traffic.

Man, that brings back memories .... 'Corey Rudl what a man...

I joined a JV giveaway created a product called WD'S ultimate business package and made a sale before it even started.

-That was the only one.LOL

Cant remember... I never wondered if it was possible, so $1 was never my goal...

The first dollar I ever made was from an upgraded referall at a Traffic Exchange. Since then, I have managed to bring in a good $100 from this alone. Not much, but it's still some on auto pilot.

My very first dollar from internet marketing came from Adsense. I can still remember the very first time I saw that dollar on my Adsense account.

I can still remember my very first dollar earn from an internet marketing is writing an article and being a virtual assistant

AdWords promoting Affiliate products

Hairaway... now that was a long time ago... like 10 years ago. Man those were the days, GoTo was the place to advertise. Cheap clicks, bidding wars, fun, fun. Anything goes back then.

A couple of moths ago,when i used Fiverr for the first time!I was so happy!I was writing 400 word articles for 5$!Not much,but it was enough to make me my first dollars online!

Promote CPA offers via mobile marketing method is going to bring you some solid income these days.

My first was an MP3 website back in 1994 - made about $400/month. Not bad, I thought, for being in high school at the time.

My first dollar that I ACTUALLY RECEIVED in the bank account came from selling back pain products on my blog, this was before I started a website specifically aimed at back pain, so it was pretty exciting for me to actually receive a real money cheque and put it in the bank...

The whole while I was expecting adsense to be my greatest money maker (LOL). That's funny because I just FINALLY received my first ever cheque from Adsense.. it was for $110... Now I took most of my adsense ads down and focus mostly on affiliate marketing.

Posting on Craigslist promoting a MMO ebook.

Our first buck online was actually $1000 from the sale of a travel business opportunity. This was after 3 weeks of us getting started online, so it was an amazing feeling of success! We then went on to making $10,000 our third month.

My first dollar was made selling one of my books. When that first order came in I called my mom and dad I was so excited. It took a lot of time to get to that point but that first sale gave me confidence to keep going.

I really can't remember. It was probably from selling a domain.

My first dollar was from Adsense on my first micro-nice website. What a first sweet dollar it was too, considering I was dead broke at the time. The majority of my earnings are not from CPA though.

My first dollar was from promoting a clickbank product. Affiliate marketing rocks!

I self published, really self published meaning I printed and bound copies myself, a poetry anthology full of poems from an ezine I ran in 1997. It had poems from people from about 7 different countries and sold for about a year before went back working offshore for a while and had to shut the business down.

I sold an affiliate product on Twitter mere hours before I got my first article writing gig.

I've sold other things online over the years, but not in the traditional IM sort of way.

I earned my first dollar in the internet by selling an item in Craigslist. It is really and exciting thing to do.

First dollar was Adsense, a simple click of $1.54 in one of my blog.
I still remember the moment I saw this amount appears in my adsense earning summary page.

One of the secret of earning dollar through internet marketing is through effective recruitment of a high-powered networking group using social media.

Google Adsense.

I made my first dollar in IM from Clickbank through affiliate marketing.

I bought and read Chris Carpenters 'Google Cash' and took action!

Within the first couple of weeks I made a £200 commission promoting a finanical product - this was from one sale. From this point on I was addicted.

Got too say I eventually came away from PPC as it got expensive after the slap. I now make my dosh in Niche websites and use mainly article marketing for traffic.

Sold our first ebook!

I setup a Google Adwords campaign pointing directly to a clickbank product. It was back in the day when that was cool. I think the product was an mp3 download membership thing.

I have no idea why I picked the product. It was crap. I was pretty new and not thinking it through.

I made a couple of sales, but I lost money on the campaign. Despite making a loss, I got bitten by the bug and have been doing this Internet marketing stuff ever since.

I came across info about IM in the beginning after a stint on eBay where I made thousands for a few months. After my father-in-law passed away and we found lots of old books in boxes under his house, including a 1st edition Hemmingway, a few T.E. Lawrence and boxes of old African explorer journals. We sold them on eBay and couldn't believe how much they ended up being worth. I made my first $10 in affiliate commissions promoting an eBay wholesale dropship site.

My first dollar was through ebay, actually. I sold Camel (cigarette) coupons for .50 cents on dollar. I happened to come into about 1,500 of them...

Selling all natural health products was my first crack at it... did very well

Adsense... and it's still my main source of earning

my first!!!

Facebook! cool eh??

I made my first dollars online in IM with selling niche blogs via my website.

I fixed a friend's website that was simply horrendous. His content was a nightmare, and there wasn't even a simple call action on it.

After some tweaks, I not only got paid a "consulting" fee, but got a steak dinner out of it as well.

I made my first dollars on a cpa for a psychic hotline. I never did believe in that stuff, but the offer was good so I researched and wrote about 20 articles and submitted them wherever I could.

Even though the pay seemed low, $3.50 for each new lead, I made out pretty good. The psychic line was giving out the first reading for free, so it was easy to get them to do it once I had got them to the site.

The only thing that I wish that I would have done differently was to send them to a landing page first to collect their info first. Other psychic lines pay more, but require upfront fees, so it is harder to get commissions. If I had a list of those who signed up I could have made a few more commissions from those people.

With an info product about "How to migrate to Canada" on the Latin american ebay...

Made my first online sale with Mark Lings AffiloBlueprint. Awesome stuff for newbeginner.

With $ 1 you of course don't really mean exactly $ 1? Mine was made by affiliate marketing and lost on the cost for advertising using PPC.

Made my first doing SEO work on others websites and still do. If only online then adsense.

My literal first dollar I managed to document via vlog

Voice overs that is how I made my first dollars online...yes it is still trading time for money but it is quite fun and I tend to think I am good at it lol oh and I almost forgot article writing

I announced a 6 week tele-class "Get Your Dreams Out of the Drawer" in 2008 on craigslists and a couple yahoo forums and when my first order came in for $150 half way across the country I quickly organized a mastermind group of free and paid friends and family to support that one participant.

I'm proud to say the content in our 1st tele-class generated a large unexpected salary increase and benefits of over $10,000/year for that one catalyst participant from her government employeer and many of the other participants reported their achievement of the specific measurable goals they choice in week one through the six steps to get your dreams out of the drawer training and mastermind support!

The group got so much out of weekly homework and calls we expanded it to 10 weeks!! Fast forward two years and now we are asked to speak on stage with best sellinga authors and entrepreneurs on the Six steps to "Get Your Dreams Out of the Drawer" covered at that very first 10 week boot camp!

Isn't being an entrepreneur great?!! <3Ruth

My first dollar also came from eBay.

I did it by total accident....I fell face first into Internet Marketing by looking for ways to earn extra money to go to Vegas with in 2007. I was being paid $10/hr to write articles, obviously neither of us knew what we were doing, he was paying me by the hour, I was just writing without regards to SEO etc. It took a while, but I realized what he was using my articles for and realized I could make a lot more than $10 from my article!

My first dollar was years ago doing affiliate marketing promoting from paydotcom.com (anyone still use that site anymore?) Wow! That was a long time ago. Anyway. I did it using Adwords.

Hmmm..I first came online back in the late 90's. I had a computer that had 15megs of memory back then and a gig was unheard of.

I only came on line was to look for a certain information to help my dating game grow.

I started posting on some of the early dating forums as a site I call sosymp because of all of the symps (stupid fools) on it.

I had a rich dating history and wanted to help guys get better so after a lot of flaming crap going on I decided to launch a podcast show to get my ideas across. I was the first one in the dating now called Niche to do so.

I formed a free forum to communicate with my listeners as I shared the real truth of dating that if your short fat and balding sorry you cannot date 6' tall models as you currently are.

To pay the bills I started selling a collection of my first 140 plus shows as my only product.

Some nerd (that is what proliferates the dating niche) named Rumi uploaded those shows to a forum so I got pissed and started the first to my knowledge paid membership site within the dating niche.

A few years ago back in 2007 I wrote my first book "How to conquer your fear of women." It sold to my members like hot cakes.

I was done then or so I thought. But in 2008 or so after a lot of begging of my students, I wrote my book "7 steps to becoming a player." I have since changed this to white wash the title or make it more vanilla to 7 steps to dating mastery. Unfortunately many males in today's society lack balls and manhood and the word player is too harsh on their sensitive ears.

Since then I have developed a 51 day confidence program. A 20 day dance program. How to pimp out your plenty of fish profile video training program and how to blow up any online profile with my Atomic profiles program.

I have also created from my own experience of over 20 years in the night clubs a book on how to meet women in the night clubs and several other products.

I have spoken at Borders Book Stores in my area and at a local adult training program in the area of internet dating.



I still own my site Zenmack.com where I do 5 podcast shows a week still and have almost 1000 shows in my past. I have helped thousands of young males find their manhood and conquer their fear of dating and women!

In my offline life I own a personal training business. I have been in the fitness industry for over 25 years as I started as a Aerobics Dance instructor way back in the 80's.

The first money I ever made online was through bum marketing and it actually came within two weeks of starting IM. I started racking up sales and thought 'man, this is gonna be easy!' until one day I tried logging into my stats and the website was gone. Needless to say I never got those several hundred dollars the company owed me, but I was able to transfer that knowledge to a reputable one using the same tactics and finally got my first check. Seems like ages ago now

marketing an affiliate program with google adwords :-)

I really don't even know I've done so much it was either selling something CPA offers both paid and those free $1 offers or adsense, I was making $10 a day back in 2007 with a web proxy I owned all with PayPopUP. But I've done do much I have no idea I can't even really remember when I started learning about IM maybe even as old as 7 years but I think it's more like 5 I was still at school I know that much.

My first real money was when I used Rachel Rolfe's $10k in a Weekend for a local seminar. I charged $997 per guest.

I rented a room with coffee ($387)

Printed books ($50)

And had ONE attendee at $997.

He loved it...

The rest was history.

I got my first money in my bank by selling my own product targetting in the IM niche. The feeling is great once you have received your first dollar comes in. I believe you should also behave this way. After that, I start working on other niches as well. I hope that you will achieve your own success soon...

Hope it inspires you...

Hey,

Mine was dropshipping.

Just wasn't automated.


Recky

in adsense and PTC sites

Well it seems like an eternity ago now but I picked a make money online-type product from Clickbank, promoted it on several traffic exchanges, and then spent hours surfing away. One day I fluked a sale and I then realised what could be possible if I actually created a website and sent targeted traffic to these affiliate products.

I made my first dollar by selling SEO article last year in December. I was really very happy and became more encouraged to work on this niche.

Hi All...Just joined. My first $7 bucks was with PeerFly using CPA of all things.

direct linking to a CB product in youtube video.

I became a drop-shipping salesman for a dehydrated food company in 1997 to help the folks at my church prepare for Y2K. Then a friend hooked me up with a guy who had a huge Y2K website, and I made money hand-over-fist. Until 1999, that is, when all of the folks who were seriously preparing already had their storable food and the panic rush never came. I'm just getting back into internet marketing now. (...and a touch embarrassed but very pleased to have been wrong about Y2K, by the way)

My first dollar was made from an adsense niche site I started - I couldn't believe the idea of getting paid for someone clicking on ads on your website.

I have been hooked on IM ever since - I still can't believe how amazing it is (compared to a "regular" day job).

My first dollars were made via a screencast video promoting a clickbank product made at my work office at the time with people walking past in the background LOL. I didn't know what I was doing but made about $500 from the video alone and surprised the heck out of myself when i checked the account weeks later.

Since then I have made things alot more professional hehe

I made my first $25 through selling a monthly membership program. It felt extremely well!!

I made my first dollar on eBay.

Still remember that awesome feeling...... :-)

my first was sending a Solo ad

I started out with blogging. It's more like a personal blog and then I found out about paid posts. That was my first earnings online.

By working on a PTC site ..

Google adsense!

I copied a 30 day system that I got for free and just went through it step by step by writing articles, bookmarking them answering questions on Yahoo answers etc.

I created a blog all about how to fix Xbox 360's and made a few affiliate commissions off of it but nothing to write home about.

I made a review site for a product on clickbank and got 6 sales, from there scale it up.

Promoting a Clickbank product through Facebook.

I made my first few dollars through PTC then made $100 on Adsense.

Mine was through adsense. Spent hours and hours trying to make my site SEO friendly.
