How i made my first money online

37 replies
In 2010 My first $97 earned online through a Jeff Dedrick product by just blast my affiliate link everywhere i possibly could.At the time i had no idea about tracking so no idea what source the sale came from.

Since then i have made over $1,000 + on fiverr and many other places online.

So far i have made around $8,000 online with pretty much zero investment.
Fiverr in my opinion is the easiest way to make a little money with $0 investment and it is a little gem that has saved me on many occasions when i need some money.

Know am looking to make a steady full time income

If you had $100 to invest to make some start-up money,what would you invest it in?

I am happy to answer any questions you may have

    I love reading stories like this. It is almost always exciting to see other people getting that first four figure income.

    It is hard to say where to invest the $100, but I know many people will say to start off creating a professional affiloate site to begin with for less than $20, and then rank it and get some quick affiliate commissions before reeinvesting their money into something else.

    I didn't even think that you could start out with $100 or even nothing and make a decent amount online until it happened to me. Now I am looking for new ways to make more and possibly even on autopilot so I can spread myself out in different directions.

    great stuff. After about 5 years I started making 200-300 thru Adsense only from my YouTube video.i did tryout her ways but not able to be consistent in creating websites that make money.I guess it is more difficult than traditional business. Most of the money I made and some more ,I use to buy products that promise so much

    More later...

    I recently earned my first $150 online writing articles and I am about to start an affiliate site. I will spend most of my money on ppc advertising and hopefully land some sales on clickbank.

    I am not sure if you can get anything substantial to make a full steady income inside $100.

    If may be you can shed some light on what kind of things/services you provide and you are interested in, I can tell you more.

    You can get tons of ideas/products in $100 but the main thing is to take action.
    You also need to have some patience.

    I have tried almost everything from cpa to social media to affiliate amrketing to ppc to android apps. Yes, I ahve tried them all in my last 5 years in Internet marketing and I have achieved some good money online through social media, my affiliate sites and clients.

    Wow kudos to you for taking action and seeing some results. If I am you, I will invest the money to get my own squeeze page and start taking massive action to drive traffic to the website and grow my own list of subscribers. Just keep going forward.

      $100 I have found is not a lot of money to get started. If I were you I would save and start with a bigger sum but if I were going to spend $100 I might set up a squeeze page and send a solo ad with a back end offer so I could break even and maybe make a profit.

      The only downfall to solo ads would be it is hard to find a trustworthy vendor. But if you do, they are a great way to build your list and possibly make some money while you are at it.

      If you want to make a full time income online the best advice I could give you would be to hire a coach. They will tell you exactly what to do to get to the point you want to be at.

      I hope this helps.

    When I was starting my affiliate marketing journey, I only had around £250. I created a website and started with health insurance leads. Once I received my earning I reinvested again. In the future when I realised the big picture I opened a credit card with £5k and invested everything in Adwords and Bing.
    My point is that you should reinvest your earning in order to make your business grow fast and to receive a bigger peace of the pie. Good luck!

        If you're doing GREAT with design and social media gigs on Fiverr why not scale up your success by doing some arbitrage where people on craigslist are looking for the same services but will pay more than $5. You can do the work or just outsource it to someone else on fiverr and just get paid to be a middle man.

        How are you getting traffic for your gigs now?

            Are you referring to my no scams one?
            If so, thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it. I got started because I was tired of people getting scammed so I figured let me start my own blog and share my experience and tips. Fortunately folks liked it.

  • I've been with a company called MCA(Motor Club of America) that's made me become my own home business owner by offering their services over the internet like Facebook, Craigslist, Twitter and Youtube. My investment was $40 and I've been doing pretty well so far. I started on July 11th and have been able to make some decent money like I stated before. The company offers 2 things. The first is a choice of supplemental protection services and benefits to your vehicle(s) that your car insurance might not offer. Like AAA, we offer those services plus alot more. The 2nd thing they offer is an opportunity to make money with them by referring, recruiting, selling and sponsoring other business minded individuals and train them to be able to do the same as myself and others in my team. The thing is, you need $40 to start which pays the first and last months service and $20 monthly after that. Depending on the package you select, the $40 dollar investment is the most popular. Anyone that refers a person to the company either for their service or to be they're own boss receives $80 dollars. So you invested $40 and on your first sale/recruitment/referral/sponsor you make $80 that the company pays to you. Here's my link so you can see more details of my business Motor Club of America - Home If you have any questions send me an email and I'll give you all the details of my company. cheddarisalwaysbetter@gmail.com

    Look to invest a little more and get a mentor / coach. He / She can help you to take your business to next level. I did this to my own business and it grew by 4x in just 6 months

      $100 (for a year) is what it costs to have your own website that says what you want it to. I would start with that.

      If you are in an MLM like me, make sure that you have unlimited pages and give everyone in your downline their own page with their own message. (To date I am the only MLM person I know of who does this.)

      If you can find a forum that allows URL's in a signature (This is the only one I have found so far.) put your website URL there along with a short and simple message telling people why they would want to visit your site. Don't overhype or get pushy. The thing about MLM that most people fail to get is that if you have to push people into joining you will have to push them into doing something useful instead of just sitting there.
