What was it with? How did you react? Did you spend it on extra beer or did you reinvest it into something more profitable?
 


Depends on where you start counting really. Did Adsense style shit when I was around 9 or 10 and then later when I was 17 or 18 I started spamming CL with adult network shit, that was when I realized I could be an internet businessman. Rest is history.
 
It was around 600$ and i used it to buy my own computer.

How did i react? With joy. A lot of money for a 16 year old.
 
$20 through a webcam porn site. I use to roll around naked on my bed for tips. One guy accidentally tipped me $20 and got upset and demanded I give the money back. I took the money and ran. Used the $20 to outsource my work to a hooker and I've been ballin ever since. I own like 3 webcam sites now.
 
Made DDL (warez) sites back in the day. Was banking $100-300/day when I was 14. Wish I didn't throw it all down the drain!
 
LOL

I think the very first was around 50 bucks from amazon.

Been an internet hundredaire ever since.

Lol I was 14, I remember selling a shitty blogspot blog for like $30. It seemed like a lot back then and covered my moms electricity bill. That same year I started taking this whole thing seriously, sold some more sites and graduated to pushing credit report offers on CL real estate/job sections. can't remember happier times.
 
2007 - I think it was like $150 that I made from a cell phone offer on Shareasale
 
No CB anyone? I'm surprised.

My first check was roughly $100 from Clickbank. It took forever to pass that payment threshold, but when I did, I partied like no tomorrow. That was like 20 years ago when $100 actually bought you something.

Hah I still remember my first check, it was $111. I actually took a pic of it and I managed to dig it up.

I used that cash for PPC.
 
Got 4 sales in CB, about $300 total, couldn't withdraw because of their rule about needing to have 5 different payments. Checked back few months later and they apparently decrease the balance after some time of inactivity, so there was $0.
 
$100-something check from CJ way back when. They also sent me a wooden train whistle. I blew them both the same day.
 
I bought some ebook on ebay about how to trick people into signing up for a webcam site (2004 ish I think)

Made $600 before they kicked me out of their program.

It's been fun watching things become "new" again that were done literally 15 years ago.
