[johnsie57259]

I started with article writing on a site called Factoidz. I started making about $100 a month after about 2 months. I realized I was pretty good at writing articles, so then I was looking into how to be more efficient with article writing and I discovered The Best Spinner. This was about 2 years ago. I then got good at spinning articles so that they were 100% readable and about 85-90% unique. I then wrote generic articles, e.g. Why I like the color red (this is just an example!!!) and then found and replaced the word red with blue, yellow, green, etc etc. I found I had loads of unique content but I didn't know what to do with it ok, so I opened my first website. An articles site and stuck 1000s of articles on it and put adsense on it. I then started making about $300 and using that time to learn more about SEO. I then invested in a few tools, scrapebox, xrumer, SEnuke and now I have a load of tools. I now work online full time for myself doing affiliate marketing, no more adsense for me. Although the original site does still make about $150 a month and I haven't touched in about 1 year. I now make a lot more than $150 a month! A lot more.

Ironic, unless you sold the book in Craigslist's books section, in which case, genius!

[60north]

I made my first dollar online by re-directing super-cheap adult traffic to a generic split-tested-to-death page with high-paying click-ads on it. Essentially just arbitrage.

[domji]

Made my first dollar selling stuff on Craigslist!

[smartrademoney]

Made my first dollar selling books and squeezepage in Sell Files Online: Affiliate Program, Software Downloads, Digital Downloads

[socialsite]

I made my first from a social network site that paid. I had built a down line of well over 4,000 people and was doing ok with the site until it just disappeared one day. It was a hard lesson learned and showed me first hand why it's so important to have a autoresponder and to be building your list. Because if even half of those people was on my autoresponder then I would have been able to bring them into other programs that I work on.

[premiumonlinewriting]

Adsense on a content site, but only really started making anything decent once I started selling ebooks.

[Jon Martin]

This is a neat thread idea so I'll bump it up and throw in mine:

I made my first hundred via CPAlead - back in 2010. I was 14, monetizing off of copyrighted content, haha. I've moved on to more whitehat things obviously, but it felt good to cash my first check regardless. I was so happy to finally be profiting SOMETHING.

[Ladyboss1]

I made my first $100 in the winter of 1998 from amazon and another network.

[Emorej]

[fenomeno]

Sold domain which I paid $8 few weeks earlier. I think that was my first online profit

[Devin2290]

I made my first $100 offering a "free basic website".

I purchased a domain and set up hosting under my HostGator affiliate link for a couple people/small businesses, then installed wordpress and transferred content.
Like 10 minutes of work for $50 commission each.

It's actually a method I still use today, it can lead to bigger opportunities to upsell to the businesses like more web design, SEO, mobile website, etc.

[Seoboxes]

[fabriziocabai]

I made my first 100$ by designing a website for a client of Australia and promoted it with Google Adwords.

[JMSD]

I made my first $100 (actually $391 from the same vendor) promoting three expensive affiliate products - two software packages and one training manual. I couldn't believe how easy it was and I didn't even have a website, then.

I foolishly sidetracked from affiliate marketing to doing other things and so commissions for other product came in spasmodically. I'm a product developer now so returns are much, much better.

[Jackson Tan]

Made my first 100 dollars from promoting an old school lottery product.

[Rella]

My first $100 online was from adsense many years ago. IM has been involving so much. There are so many ways to make $100 online if you take action by what you learn.

[jucbad]

Affiliate marketing is a good way, as long as you know how to promote your affiliate link and put on some dedication.

I made my first $100 by creating Amazon affiliate sites and writing articles for submission to EZA. It's now my goal to make $100/day. It's still a long way to go but definitely achievable.
