I just got recently my first payment at one of the Post-To-Paid forum. It is actually my very first payment since started working online and I could say the feeling is as good as if received an unexpected gift from someone. Want to know how much I got? Laugh-Out-Loud! for all I care but so happy here at last I found a good site who is actually paying and proved it on my own. Yes, it's just 0.70$ but the feeling when Paypal messaged me for that payment just excites me although I quite expected where it came from. I was more than happy when finally seeing a number besides zero with a dollar sign on my account.
What about you? How you reacted the first time you received what you earned online? What is your initial reaction?

Same feeling as you had :D I want to scream but as much as I want to I can't because I'm at the office that time. I got mine through an online design contest (which is actually a freelance work, only in a contest mode) which I tried for fun. And wow, my smile had almost reached my ears when I saw that my work was the announced winner. And I wanted to jump out of joy when I read Paypal's email regarding the transfer. :D Since then I started submitting entries there, but eventually stopped and settled for sites offering freelance jobs instead. I just realized that the more I stay and participate on that design-contest site, the more my skills are improving, which is actually bad for experienced designers like me because we're underpaid, well actually we are not being paid at all for our quality designs because they made the job a contest-type, and spec works should be paid (and also the site gains more and better designers which makes the "competition" hard). Not like in freelance jobs site, the only contest is the bidding. If you get chosen, you get to work, and any work you'll be doing will certainly get paid. But then, it has still been a wonderful learning experience for me :) Right now I'm just waiting for my first online freelance bid on a design project to be accepted so I could feel that wonderful 'first-time' feeling of getting paid for an online job-AGAIN. :D

After joining many scam sites, I have more or less given up hope of earning from the internet. But after many tries and I have finally found a legit site. Thou the amount is just a couple of cents, it was my first every payout earned online. I was just plain happy to see the amount in my paypal account.

I was extremely excited and most importantly, I felt a great sense of achievement. Making my first cent or dollar in this industry marks my first breakthrough of adventure throughout my life. I remember my first payment was from Pickjack, which has stopped paying a long time ago. After that, I kept receiving payments from other sources and eventually, Mylot.
