Personally, putting aside e-commerce transactions (ebay etc), I did my first dollar on the internet by promoting Udemy courses on a blog I created yeaaars ago: http://elearnhero.com/. So the very first time I made money online was through affiliate marketing !

Selling custom URLs on https://contact.do generated my first income, back in 2018. To this day, the site still brings in ramen money and delivered lots of spam free messages :)

@chnsydney Thx! Yah, made it to scratch my own itch :)
A custom link is $19, so that's how much I made initially. These days it brings an average of $300/month
@chnsydney Please get in touch if you want a custom contact link: https://contact.do/toni
All of these are still available: sydney, cohen, chnsydney :)
PS: I can hook you up for free
@chnsydney Please create a contact link, confirm your email and then share the link here or send it to me via my contact link
I'll then upgrade it to "sydney" :)

@chnsydney Not really proud of it 😅 Just some spammy SEO things with high volume keywords.
@chnsydney 12 years ago i made my first dollar with firefox download, Google was paying one dollar for every firefox download plus 2 dollar for every google satellite map software download. Then i learn adsense, after one year i was making 6 figure a year with 100k monthly unique visits 20cents to 1$ cpc. The search ranking was easy to trick on that time then came the panda on 2011 and my website was hit by 2012. Adsense still active you may give it a try.

I was looking for my 1st Freelance gig. It took me a month to get a single client. But it was great, huge, and amazing. I had to rewrite CSS for a web app 160 pages. I posted 100 bids (that's the limit at freelancer.com for 1 month in some xyz membership i took). Only 2 of the replied and hired me.
@vishwajeet_raj11 I feel become gig freelancer is hard because the price is too cheap, so I focus on my product to hire them
I wrote blog and got the a paid subscription via Substack.
