Make money online tips – How to Generate Your first $300
You have probably heard that there is money to be made on the Internet and you can’t sleep at night; yes, you secretly wish you start making some dollars online too, I know this because I was alike a few years ago; back in Nov. 1999 to be more precise.
Nov. 1999 was a cold winter when I started online, just finished high-school here in Romania, Bucharest, and decided to get on the web [a friend of mine told me about some companies who are paying you for reading emails]
To make a long story short, I decided to give it a try. Fast forward later and I made a measly $9… within 12 months. That’s up to 365 days! Wow. I waited that long and almost wanted to give up; luckily I have found affiliate programs – companies or networks paying you a percentage commission when you make a sale – promoting their products or services.
In 2003 I’ve started to grow… step-by-step, I finally made my first $24 affiliate check. I still remember that night. Yesterday I was sending 36 emails to some contacts I talked in the past and others I didn’t know, asking them something about their Internet business.
Within 24 hours I’ve made my first $24 affiliate check, promoting an Ezine article writer software tool [in the P.S. of that little email]. I couldn’t believe when I’ve got the “you have a new sale” email in my inbox!
It was like a dream come true for me; I thought to myself… “Hmm, since I’ve made $24 “overnight” then it means this Internet thing must be working”.
I knew nothing would stop me to continue and move forward with my dream to turn this Internet game into a real business; yes, in the beginning it was all a toy, I looked at the Internet as a hobby, and tried the make money online niche for fun, and less for profit.
If you want to take it serious, then starting your online business requires time, planning and investment [in money, skills and people] – there’s no other secret, although people are claiming they own the BIG secret to making millions online.
I don’t believe in big secrets, nor I talk about such; if there’s a secret I’ve discovered myself, then I make sure to tell the world about it, regardless it’s making me a bunch of money or just giving me minor results.
I don’t hold any secrets, nor I deliver HYPE. I like sharing.
So here’s HOW you can make your first $300 online – take the $300 in 20 days affiliate challange now!

I find it refreshing that there is someone who is not bragging about the money they make and showing pictures of cars and mansions. I am trying to develop an Internet Marketing business and what people drive or where they live means nothing to me. It is the content that counts. Straightforward honest business advice is what I am looking for.
I have over 25 years sales/marketing experience in a traditional sense. (bricks/mortar). Whereas there are many similarities there are just as many if not more differences in the relationship building aspect of this enviroment. The ability of sitting across the table and looking someone in the eye to develop trust does not exist here. Other methods must be employed.
The trust factor is very prevelant as I have yet to see anything online that I could not get a thousand other places. Hence the need for value added content with each and every exchange. In my short time of attempting to enter this market I have already been introduced to the proverbial “Den of Thieves”.
I have also been fortunate enough to meet some genuine mentors that are willing to help in any way they can.
As in any venture, knowing the difference is the key to success. I look forward to working with Codrut as he seems to be the “real deal”.
What a great post Gary! I, like you find Codrut’s approach refreshing! I drive a 1998 Cadillac…but it’s paid for…lol.
Great post, Codrut. Yes, it takes time to learn any worthwhile skill, and there is no reason why affiliate marketing should be any different.
I made plenty of mistakes when first starting out. I still make mistakes today, but I earn around $500 a month in affiliate commissions, and through working with you and learning from you, I hope I will soon be making a whole lot more than that!
