#14A friend of mine introduced me to affiliate marketing and SEO in 2012. After learning the ropes I challenged him on who could make the first dollar with a brand new site. I made a site about Bluetooth speakers, made my first affiliate sale a month later and won the challenge :-D My affiliate career wasn't very long lasting though. Right now I am trying to make my internet dollars with SaaS instead.
Funny, I'm from SaaS and going into affiliate.

#15I used to make planner templates and similar things of that sort for myself in high school. It wasn't anything special but I enjoyed making them.
I had this guy contact me on Reddit about whether I could customize a daily planner for his kids and gave me a general idea of what he wanted. I delivered the design and he loved it, and commissioned three more.
I charged him $2 USD per planner (didn't know how to price it + it took me an hour tops, but he insisted on paying more which was nice). Ended up earning $15/planner.

#17Nothing to be proud of, but I once won $50 through betting on ice hockey. I had no clue what I was doing, I just picked a team and put bet for draw every time that team was playing, doubling previous bet. Once I won I took the money and never came back :)
