I’ve made my First $1000 Online!

By August 1, 200912 Comments

That’s right, today, the 1th of August is a milestone! I’ve made a total of US$1058.77 from the Internet (With absolutely no initial investment at all!) It only seemed like yesterday that I’ve made my first ever $100 on the 8th March 2009, with my first Google AdSense cheque. Remember, this is not an instant feat; I started all the way back in October last year. There’s no thing in life that’s completely instant (even ramen takes 3 minutes to cook). I can teach you how to be like me, but in the end, it all comes down to your patience.

So what’s next? My next goal is to reach $10,000 by next year, which is a lot of money. No I’m not money crazy like the guy it the picture above :), as I haven’t even spent much of my money yet, except for bills to keep my website going, and lending money to help friends start their own websites as well.

Oh well, I’m going to have a new blog post soon about how I made $1000 online. Watch out for it, meanwhile, do me a favor and subscribe to my blog 🙂

    Hi just thought i would tell you something.. This is twice now i’ve landed on your blog in the last 3 weeks hunting for totally unrelated things. Spooky or what?

  • Great post..Keep them coming 🙂 Thankyou for sharing.

    Congrats on your accomplishment! I myself was very proud of myself when I hit a large milestone!

    Congrat! I understand your feeling. My first money I ever made was a freelance project to build a website for a local music band, my first affiliate money was $240 check from CJ

    I recommend you to start freelancing. If you get 5 clients who will pay you $1000/month for SEO it will be $60 000 per year. The same way you can offer PPC, design, link building, blogging services.

    Congrats, man! I know it took me awhile to reach that point, and it felt great earning my first $100 online, and receiving that check in the mail. I’m now doing about $300/mo, and I’m pushing to turn it into something I can make a living from. You can do it, just keep doing what you’re doing!

      Congrats to yourself too! Thanks for the encouragement. Personally, I’m doing $100-$200 a month, which isn’t too bad as pocket money for a kid :).

  • Congratulations. The first profits are normally the hardest. But once you get your system going, which I think you have, it gets easier.
