What did you do? How did you make your first money online? Do you remember that moment? Share? I made my first money on a site like this one. you had to ask and answer questions. Back then, there were only 2 users on that site, everyone else had abandoned it. We were funny at the time, as we answered each other and only after a while realized that there were only two of us. The site paid us well. It is certainly not a lot of money, but the first dollar earned on the Internet - it's super!

Yes, I remember. My daughter was a early teenager and had started playing on a site called WebAnswers. People from all over the internet would go there and ask questions. People on the site would answer those questions. I didn't know anything about her trying to earn online, at the time. My daughter would come to me and ask me questions. I always did my best to give her full and honest answers. After I answered, she'd go back to her room and I'd continue with whatever I had been doing. Until... until she asked me something odd... and I asked why she wanted to know. She wouldn't tell me so I told her I wasn't answering. She kept asking me questions, some I'd answer and some I wouldn't, always asking why she wanted to know. (It was basically questions I thought were "too old" for her to need the answer to that I'd refuse to answer.) She finally explained she was working online and wanted to answer a question somebody asked on the site. I enjoy answering questions as long as someone isn't trying to play me or asking the same thing again and again. I joined her on the site and we made really good money there until the site collapsed.

@Lertka She's very intelligent and I didn't want to quash any part of her questioning nature. If I could, I'd post a photo of her from back then. I was a single parent and had custody of her until she became a grownup.

A site running with 2 users only is very odd yet interesting. You got paid from the site though and that's what matters at the end of the day My first earning online was from mylot.

Afterward we wrote a review on this site and then people came. Everything turned around then.

I think it was MyPoints. I started answering surveys, and the points added up quickly, which resulted in me cashing out for money sent to my PayPal.

I remember very well, it was Squidoo, that does not exist anymore because the site was sold to Hubpages.

I used to be a blogger and make money from it. However, due to financial constraints, I was unable to renew my website, which I regret to this day.

It was a search site that rewarded a small amount.
