And how was it? How much did you earn for the first time? 
My first online earning experience was on Birejji. It's a paid to chat site. You chat and you earn, as simple as that. Actually I didn't really expect for earning at that time. I just wanted to have fun by chatting with strangers, and I might earned as well!
And then, after few days chatting, I really earned some money! It was only $0.32. Even I hadn't made any Paypal account by the time I pressed cashout button.. Luckily, I was still being able to claim that payment. And, wow, it was really a great pleasure. So, earning online IS real..
And another great thing about Birejji is they listed the "account age". And since my first online earning was on Birejji, then my "account age" means "the total time I had earned online up to now". Well, since I got paid by Birejji, I started to find another online money making opportunities. And it seems since that time, I already made some improvement. Thanks God :)
Gladly, Birejji is still online and legit up to now. It just they have less earning compared to past time. But I am still regularly check that site up to now. Well, just for chat with some ol' friends and maybe get some nostalgia time, lol..
And how about you? Do you still remember your first online earning experience? Is it great or bad? Do you make some improvements later since? And do you still visit your "first" site?
Please share us your stories.. :D

I can never forgot my first online earnings for two reasons. First it was not a very small amount and second it was not able to use it right away.
What actually happened was that I won a referral contest on a site and won $125. I requested the money to my PayPal account and got it within a couple of days. But at that time I have more than one PayPal accounts and when I logged into one of my other accounts after logging to the account I used to receive money, my account was limited by PayPal. And I was not even of legal age (

$125 for the first time? Wow, that's amazing!
May I know the name of site which held that referral contest? And is it still being online up to now?
Too bad you need to wait for couple of years to enjoy your own money.. But at least, at the very end, you can got it!

My first online income, from Ciao. I got $ 45. I am very happy, and be excited, to search for online revenues. But unfortunately, now Ciao, not pay someone Indonesia. I am very disappointed, but I can not do anything about it. Luckily I found MyLot. I can still earn an income online, although not as much at Ciao.

I remember that when we first bought a computer, we didn't take it home from the store there and then, but had to wait 6 weeks for it to be delivered. The guy in the store said it would be no problem in getting on line as full instructions would come with it. The problem was, when it arrive that the instructions weren't that easy, and there was no way I could get it to connect with the internet - I kept getting the "page unavaible" all the time. After trying for a whole morning, I gave up and never tried again until a friend called in. I just told him that there was no way I could understand the instructions of make it work. I understood about my old computer (not on-line) but this had me beat.
He told me that he had his own account that he could set up, get on line and get me an account and that there was no way I could dial up (in those days) without first of all having an account. I watched as he set up a dialer - something that I had asked the computer wizard to do with no luck. He dialed and got onto the web and I was impressed that this machine had got onto the web! Wow! He then set up a free dial-up account for me and as I watched him, it seemed so simple. I wondered why the instructions hadn't simply told me how to do that! But I was on-line and from that day, never had a problem since and have even networked out home computers and through a wirless connection.. It's so easy when you know how!

Oh sorry.. Yes I really should remember to pay more attention! My first on-line earning experience was from e-bay. Well I sold some stuff I didn't really want, so I don't know if that can be classed as an earning experience. The next time after that was on the writing site, Ciao, that pays writers to write about their experiences with different products which I did. I can't say that I like writing about products too much though as I find it a bit boring. It is much more interesting on myLot where I can write about what interests me in these discussions. _Derek

By the way, if you already red the whole discussion here, there are a lot of people who started their online earning from myLot. And it means, they got the minimum of $10 at their very first time..
But I am still curious, what kind of online earning that boyuancy did, anyway..

If they didn't reply your query on email, try to contact them via phone, or ask them via Twitter on @askPaypal
Though I am surprised that they don't reply the mail back - even it's only an automated reply

Well, one of the first things I did online had to be either Themestream.com or Epinions.com. This was right around the same time I did my first MLM online as well. These are all sites that are either not paying anymore, or just barely paying as I have seen a lot of changes online in the way sites pay for sure. But anytime you find a Good site like myLot here, that pays out and continues to pay out, you have got your hands on a goldmine for sure.
Haha, just kidding :D
So I see you got some experiences with some MLM sites.. Have you ever been paid by them even once?

i got my first pay out here in mylot. it was 11 dollars and i was so happy that all i did was to save it and spent it after four months.earnings were added as i stumble to more earning sites that were referred by my virtual friends here. i owe my online income to my mylot friends. without them i can't even have this intenet access. i am able to pay internet bills because of my online earnings. i say earning online is fun and i make my living here.i also buy vitamins and suppelemnts for my eyes since im hooked to my PC in a day to day basis.just enjoy life and don't be afraid to take steps to your financial freedom.

I even took a screenshot of my first payment and keep save it up to now..
And yeah, you are right. It's really a great pleasure by the time we can bought something using money that we got from online. It's from our hard work anyway! :D
Mostly I used my online earning for paying my daily college needs such as stationery, transportation, printing, and so. But too bad, I have no left for pay my internet access..

Hi Varier, yes, the first online making experience is very unforgetable.
My first cent is earned here.
Until now, I still keep active here, despite the fact that article writing is the largest earner for me at the moment.
From here, I learnt about writing and blogging.
it leads to many other income sources, but I still like it here.

I don't remember the details specifically, and my old blog isn't very friendly to search whether I blogged about it, but I remember how happy I was! I realized that earning online was a real possibility for me, I can really learn online! It was exceptionally sweet because I didn't start blogging because of its earning potential.

I first started with online survey sites over 10 years ago while I was in college. I made a few bucks a month, but since I did not have a bank near my school, I would have to wait until I was home for a weekend to cash it. I remember getting a check for $25 and thinking that i would just make money online for the rest of my life.

10 years ago? Wow, so, let's say.. A veteran on online earning? Hehe :P
Unfortunately, I have no luck with online surveys.. Well, you know, something so called "unsupported country"..
By the way, is your "first" online survey still legit up to now? Do you still regularly visit it?

That was a year ago now when I start thinking about making money online. I can't remember the day or month that I tried to look for good online...
If not mistaken the first time I received payment is a quiz site which you need to answer or share questionnaires. I don't know if the site still alive or gone. Because It's been a year also that I didn't visit the said site...

Varier, same like almost every responders to your discussion, Mylot is the first place that i had earned my money. Although, i need to take a few months to reach my payout but at least it proved that, i can earn through my online site. i ever joined Birejji but don't really earn well from it. so, i had quit from this site very long ago. Day by day, i am trying my best to set some time to online, so hoping able to earn much more through online in future from other sites.

A lot of people had started their online earning from myLot.. MyLot is surely a great site! [i][/i]
Well, yeah, earning in Birejji might be a little bit complicated. First of all, you need to be talkative enough - and be active in enough long time. And then, you need to find the right time and the right chat room where the pot share was big enough.. 
Anyway Birejji isn't really great anymore for earning.. It's so small nowadays.. :(
And, sure, I wish we all can improve a lot in our online earning! 
Happy mylotting!

Haha...not exactly the first payout when I was excited but rather when I saw the earning counter on my Triond page went from 0.00 to 0.01....yes 1 cent and it was WOW!!!!
I stopped writing for some time already, but it is still very slowly getting me some small change I guess.
I still visit the site, but I am concentrating on myLot and surveys more nowadays.

I'll give that chatting website a visit later =D
My own experience was joining a local made profit sharing website. It was named 2times. Meaning that they pay you for your investment and at the same time pay you for your referrals. They pay as high as 50 percent commission on your investment though, and the maximum one can earn from it is almost 2000 dollars a month. So I joined and invested some money. I managed to withdraw my money once which I earned hundreds of dollars but soon after that the website go scam. One advise here is be careful if you want to make extra cash from profit sharing websites and they normally won't live pass 6 months, even if they do stay longer than 6 months, make sure you only join for a month and take out what you earn and what you invested. that way you have nothing to lose.

I am not sure that it was a profit sharing website, because once I ever red that almost all online investment are using Ponzi Scheme. They are paying old members with money from new members. At least you are lucky that you were being able to withdraw.. Anyway, it's a great lesson for us - be more careful when we are going to invest something online.
By the way, I don't really recommend that chat website for earning, though xD. Earning there nowadays is so small. If you expect better earning, then you should stick on myLot instead.. Well, Birejji is a great place to share online money making opportunities and exchange referrals, anyway.. So, if you don't really mind with the earning, just go! :D
