What is your IM Story? Here's Mine
Let me tell a short story.... please excuse my grammar....
The year was 2002 and I was 21. I was jobless and don't have my own PC. I did not know what people were doing online. I went to a cybercafe to chat with my college classmate using mRIC and was tempted to submit my resume to some cruise ship companies because they say that working in a cruise ship is a lucrative job (I got disappointed though).
While browsing for some jobs online, a "get paid to read email program" caught my attention and I followed the link. Thus I found getpaidforum.com and became an active member. I joined some GPT program and started earning cents after cents. I spent a lot in renting computers and internet and I said to my self I will buy mine someday. Another known GTP program was created and since I was a very active forum member, they offered me a forum moderation job. That program paid me a total of $200 over the course of my 9 months service. Thus, I purchased my first computer - that was 2003.
I joined Sitepoint early 2007 and another guy from Arizona was asking if how can he sell his fresh milk product online. That time, although I only had 2 blogspot blogs, I learned a little about promotion. I offered my service for free with condition that he only pay me when his website reaches first page of Google. I focused my attention creating a blogger page for him advertising his fresh milk product from Arizona and started creating backlinks through free websites like adlandpro, trafficswarm, etc... After around 2 months we saw progress and eventually reached first page of google. The guy (Mr. Williams) was very impressed after having 2 first buyers through his blogger blog. He got a contract with local fresh milk retailer and was short of supply. He sent me $200 through Western Union. I was very happy and felt motivated.
2008 - I continued working on his website, transferred it to wordpress with his own domain and still positioning to first page of Google with a very competitive keyword. His business got a breakthrough when customers from all over Tuczon asking him for supply. He expanded his ranch and hired more people to work with him. He sent me $2,000.
By then, I was thinking of creating my own seo blog and got a handsome domain (myseoblog.net). I did well promoting my blog and reached considerable amount of traffic but I was tempted to sell it to ientry (owner of webpronews) for a considerable amount. I still keep working with Mr. Wiliam's website and maintaining a good relationship (now a major dealer of fresh milk in Tuczon area).
I started dealing with Adsense and CPA but had no luck with adsense (for some reason). I sticked with CPA........... until now......
That's how I discovered what people are doing online to make money.... I'm not perfect and still learning but at least I got my spot online.......
