I was ecstatic. After doing some stuff around the net (including freelance writing, blogging income, PTC, MyLot and some web designing), I received more than two hundred bucks in all of my internet ventures in my first month alone! Being unemployed and bored with life, it gave me a much-needed validation. I can actually work at home and it pays enough for my monthly expenses. So, how did you feel when you receive your first ever payment? Do share your story with me because I love hearing about success stories...

To be honest, I can't even remember how much my first payment was from internet stuff or even when it was. I've been using various sites on the net for over 5 years now and some pay in vouchers, some by paypal and some direct to my bank account. I've always had a full time job as well so any money made from the internet is pocket money for me, although I paid for my 12 day holiday to the US from the UK last year with funds from a savings accounts in which I had just been putting money earned from various internet sites. But with many sites I don't bother with cash payment but rather I go for vouchers, such as sites like dooyoo for example where I've received in the region of £500 in vouchers in the last couple of years or so, not all at once ovbiously but over a period of time. Sometimes I request vouchers when I've got £10 or £20, sometimes I wait till I have more but I love getting Amazon vouchers and buying some new books or DVDs or electrical gadgets!

My first pay day was before few weeks and it was only 1 pound:) I am earning on the internet only about 2 months so I am registered only here on Mylot(i DIDN'T GET PAID YET but not because it is scam -hope it isn't, but because I didn't earn 10 dollars yet)..And I am registered in OPINION world as well and they pays me 1 pound for survey ...So it was my first payment and I am on nomincashout (site in my profile) too and the pays me whenever I want.

My first internet pay day was here in mylot. Although its not that big i was still very proud and happy for my achievement. I was happy because i have earned something that i never thought it was possible before and that i work hard for it. I follow my instinct and i have learned a lot. Its really my first opportunity and it open me a lot of opportunity afterwards which started me to work online fulltime.

Wow, $200 for a month? That's really great. I actually have what I consider two first time payments. The first time I got anything paid out from doing something online was when I got my first check from doing surveys. It was great. I have since gotten several checks for doing surveys. The other first time payout was when I got a payment posted to my paypal account from mylot. This was almost more exciting, even though my check from the surveys was for more. I think that's because, I was still skeptical about actually getting paid for posting here. It was a great relief to see the actual money "in the bank".
