Do you remember? Your first $100 or $1000 pure profit? What did you do? What did you buy? How'd that feel :)

I believe my very first profit was a small $220-something. I was like DAMN, and I can do this every day?!

Then came reality, and logistics ;-) but bottom line was I could 'create' $220 out of nowhere, at nearly any day, regardless of 'time and space' !

It was welcome, but I don't think I spent it on anything. Only after a following €8k profit, I went out and replaced my entire wardrobe :food-smiley-010:

I'm curious at you guys. Share!
 


For me it was pretty funny.

I used to struggle to make $600 a month (for about eight months), then I used to struggle to make $3,000 (for nearly 1.5 years)...

Then one day happened that changed how I look at everything: I had a Labor Day sale for a B2B solution I created and hit $8,000 on one Tuesday.

So, that's what I remember, I recall my first $8,000 day.
 
woah, that's a good one. 8 seems like an influential number in many cases. In China, the number "8" represents fortune and wealth itself :)
 
I made my first $100+ day using shitty Front Page and a static 1 page image with hotspots as links. hahaha...I had that running for a couple of months before G slapped that ass...haha
 
I can never forget the day when I hit my goal for $1000 in profits. I made abt $1013 net. For me, it was like pretty big dream which turned to reality right on my desktop monitor.

I took the screenshot of my stats for that day and replaced my pseudo $1000(in "Today's Earnings") wallpaper on the monitor. For next couple of days, my brains were like super computers working tirelessly. All I was doing was calculating how much would I be making in a month/yr if I multiplied what I was doing x times.. lol Though, it wasn't that easy to scale what I was doin.

I was at home & super happy. Still I was trying to act normal but my mom could smell it. I shared about my online monies for the first time with her that day and she was so damn happy for me that her eyes were full of tears.

Went out for dinner with family that day & when I got the money I simply re-invested in my traffic & upgrading my server.

enough /x
 
The other day I had my first back-to-back $1,000 days ;) (Tue/Wed). I felt ok but I was actually a bit dissapointed.. I know I can do better. I wan't more..
 
Think I went to the casino and lost it all, lol. Saving money is not one of my strong points.
 
I had an awesome day where I made over $300 selling some football tickets online through affiliates.

It was made out of nothing but pure HUSTLE. I went and had drinks with friends and continued throughout the season.

A good day, but obviously something that hasn't maintained in the offseason. But still, it was fun and showed that I could provide a worthy service without leaving my house to benefit everyone.
 
Yeah. Remember my first sale, my first $100.. and my first $1000. It kicked ass and it's just getting better and better.
 
Took my GF to a fancy steak dinner to celebrate. Ironically 200 and 300 followed within the same week.
 
I made an orders for a thousand unique articles, contracted some programmers for scripts that i thought would make a the next Million Dollar site etc lol... that was when I got my first 33 K Check. I was suddenly stingy and want to make my next million :) and I bought good hard links like crazy. And I bought lots of Godfather points from Zynga. Fcking Zynga...

I wished I had used those in a media Buy instead.. coz Bizopp, teeth whiteners and Acai started to ballin right around that time lol...
 
I was so nervous that I almost dropped the gun but the vic never saw that. All they ever see is the barrel in their face.

I got his ipod too, so I guess you could say that I made my first $100.00 on a free ipod offer.
 
i do, it was late at night when I checked ( like 2am ) and I went into the bedroom and hit my wife in the head to wake her up and tell her.
 
went from doing ~$100/day w/ a seo method (back in 2004) and we decided to get wild and see if scraping ebay and wikipedia for dynamic content would positively affect SEO. went from maybe 10k pages indexed to many many millions nearly overnight and sat at the top 1-3 positions on yahoo/google for more terms than I'll ever know for a decent chunk of time. I remember waking up and checking stats after excitedly seeing this and seeing something like $2k in earnings from the prior day. This continued to scale for a bit then slowly tapered off over ~8 months until we were down to a couple hundred again after Google danced.

I nearly fell off my chair. That good ride taught me three things.

1) never ever overlook the value of SEO
2) never ever depend on SEO earnings
3) it's really easy to blow money
 
omg i made 100 a day and i went totally nutso. went and bought rounds at the local ymca, got some new diggs at salvation army and went buckwild all night long.
