How did you make your first $ on the internet?

@saviomartin amazing ! I've seen many successful startups who initially met at hackathons

@appledev86 so interesting. What kind of prime domain did you sell ?? Do you still own some ?

@chnsydney Ha so many I was working on brokering fire.com and marriage.com at one time, years later on I focused on something called back ordering of expiring domains but my primary focus was on going to registers marketplaces and buying about to expire domain names for pennies and selling them for hundreds if not thousands of dollars before they expired and I had to pay the yearly registration fee. Additionally I also would actually travel to supermarkets in 2000 and check packages of actual products to see if the domain names were expired by the co's and register them and park them or try and sell it back to the co's.

@appledev86 This is shady I love it 😂

@stoica94 ha that's true.

@tonixx So simple yet so efficient. Pretty cool ! did you ever share how much money you made from this project ?

@chnsydney Thx! Yah, made it to scratch my own itch :) A custom link is $19, so that's how much I made initially. These days it brings an average of $300/month

@tonixx neat !

@tonixx sure happy to try it :), sydney would be fun

@tanoy27 That's great! What is your niche?

@roy_outgrow I identify SaaS business as my niche. While I worked on this piece, I was mostly writing about cloud-based inventory management process.

@tanoy27 Cool! Would like to read your blogs..any links?

@patte87 give us more details :)

@chnsydney Not really proud of it 😅 Just some spammy SEO things with high volume keywords.

@patte87 ha I see 😅

@chnsydney 12 years ago i made my first dollar with firefox download, Google was paying one dollar for every firefox download plus 2 dollar for every google satellite map software download. Then i learn adsense, after one year i was making 6 figure a year with 100k monthly unique visits 20cents to 1$ cpc. The search ranking was easy to trick on that time then came the panda on 2011 and my website was hit by 2012. Adsense still active you may give it a try.

@jacquelinclem As a designer this is pretty cool. Which Icon did you sell first ?

@chnsydney a classic icon pack about web development (arrow, logout, cart, user ...)

@jacquelinclem pack work great ! I've seen a friend do that for drone videos as well

@uku_kudu thats interesting ! Same happened with me with elearning affiliate, took like 12 months to make the first sales and by then I was already looking at doing something else. Great lesson indeed !

@chnsydney Yeah. We where like: "Hey man, it takes little over one year to make 3k per month. We find something better..." 9 years later I am still not making 3k per month 🤣🤣

@uku_kudu so true !

@rahulmfg hacker !

@bob_mungia what kind ? give us more details !

@jaskiran_kaur it's something !

@vishwajeet_raj11 I feel become gig freelancer is hard because the price is too cheap, so I focus on my product to hire them

@darren_marshall classy ;)

@chnsydney Baskerville FTW!

@darren_marshall this makes me think: Printed t-shirt back in the time are today's NFT 😂, let's launch a font token 🚀

@nat_cov_ sounds like fun
