"I'm proud of you man, took me 3 years to get my first $5 from IM. Keep it up buddy"
 
Oh lord, that's not even the real story... He spent $89 for that $35... Also - it's not clear whether it was HIS install for that original amount, lol...

Thanks man! This check came from when I was messing around with PPI for a few hours. I didn't know exactly what PPI was, but I was eager to learn. I just skimmed through a few threads, and thought I knew everything I needed to BANK! After all of my research, I went through amonetize. I basically mimicked the method everyone else was doing.

I created the youtube video. I set it to unlisted until I had reached the amount needed to rank. I added my PPI link, with a bunch of spun content related to my targeted keyword. After all of that hard work, I was ready to go.

I believe at some point in time while I was messing with it, I downloaded and installed it to my computer. After I had installed it to my computer, my screen turned blue with an error code 0x0000185 and something about a required device missing.

The PC I was using for PPI was under warranty. So I called the manufacturer, and they told me the recovery cd would fix it. I told them perfect, send me one, because my computer didn't come with one. They said that it would only cost me $59 for the recovery cd. So I buy the cd, and a few days later I receive it in the mail.

After I had installed the recovery cd, my computer still didn't work. So I called the manufacture back, and they told me I have a bad hard drive, and I need to mail it to them. I spent another $30 dollars mailing it, but the cost to fix it and mail it back was free.

So yeah, it was a lot of hard work, but a well earned $35!

Later on...

Thanks everyone. It's a humbling feeling to obtain such an accomplishment. It reminds me of my high school days. For the most part I received A's and B's in high school, but there was this one class I received a C.

It was US Government. I remember the teacher priding himself on how hard his class was. He said he loved having prior students come back after graduating from schools like Berkley, Davis, or Cal Poly, and saying how his class was the hardest class they ever had.

I earned a C in that class, but it felt better then the A's and B's that were on my report card. That teacher had pushed me harder then any of my other teachers, and I think that's what made it such a humbling, and rewarding experience. I learned more in that class then just about US Government.

$35 might not be much, but this $35 is my C.
 
i got advice & expirence ya'll
 
Ah..marketheath..There's no way to select a higher payout so I still see those 35$-80$ checks once a month from old slapped sites.. Have to actually get my ass off the chair and go deposit them at the bank.

Anyone remember an ad network called Avantage or Advantage? It was long ago for me. I setup a bunch of Angelfire / Geocities sites using that network, and found some script that moved my mouse around and clicked on the ads while I slept.

Made something like $23 my first month. 11 year old me was stoked.

Alladvantage. I remember how everyone was so excited to "get paid to surf.". I read somewhere a while back that they were making a comeback of sorts....not sure what their business model is now.
