Freelancers,
What was your first online method that made you money? The first thing you did that actually worked for you?
This is not about your success stories in general, I'm just wondering what you did, where, when and this is about your first online success. Not your entire story. (Perhaps this CD could act as a suggestion bank for any newcomers who's looking for methods to generate money with.)
I personally, stumbled into freelancing in an odd way. As a former CS (counterstrike) player and In-game leader. I actually sold our teams tactics. I didn't think of it as freelancing or anything like that at the time.
That being said, I started out my real career so to speak, as a reseller. I sold social media services like FB likes, Youtube views and Instagram services.
Best Regards,

You get to play games, and dominate, then sell your teams tactics for a profit. There's almost no overhead since you just have to pay for electricity and an internet connection, which is pretty awesome. You could sell two different formats of your tactics. Format one would be screenshots and descriptions of what to do and format two could be actual gameplay of what's going on and you could do commentary over it This could actually be a big seller now with PS4, Xbox1 and the new 4k consoles coming out. The only thing is that you'd have to target competitive player games like COD, Destiny, CounterStrike and even some PC games like starcraft and league of legends. The only good thing about this is that it pushed me into learning SEO in order to rank my pages and bring in traffic to click my ads. It's a hard road, but one worth traveling
Selling strategies and tactics seems like a pretty sweet gig :D You get to play games, and dominate, then sell your teams tactics for a profit.

Anyways, my first online method to generate some cash was adsense. I got sucked into the gimmick a long time ago where you would see an ad saying "Get Paid By Posting Ads!" and "Make $500 A Day Posting Ads Online!" but what they didn't tell you is that all you'd be doing is setting up websites and putting strips of adsense code on them and hoping for some clicks. Not once did they mention how to get the traffic in order to get the clicks and profits, they just wanted you to buy their "system" that taught you how to put adsense on your pages, which is pretty low. That's like buying a car and it doesn't have tires on it :( The only good thing about this is that it pushed me into learning SEO in order to rank my pages and bring in traffic to click my ads.
Fast forward 13 years and now I have my own SEO company that is doing well and I have over 20 websites that aren't just collecting dust :D It's a hard road, but one worth traveling :)
