I would say earning online existed since well.. the beginning of the internet. There is ALWAYS an opprotunity out there somewhere. I would say the VERY first earning opprotunity probably had a lot to do with the buying and selling of massive amounts of domain names. That made some people BILLIONAIRES.

Making money online did not start during the beginning of the Internet. At first, the Internet was used for non-profit, strictly for military use only (ARPANET). People only started using the Internet for commerce when it was opened to the general public and business for use. That's my understanding of it.

Well I suppose I should have said the "beginning" as in, the beginning of when it was provided to be used for commercial use.
