How I Started My Online Income Journey in 2008

It was the year 2008, and I was doing my Microsoft and Cisco networking course. 

At that time, I read newspapers every day.

One day, I was scrolling through the newspaper and saw an ad that caught my attention…

…It promised anyone could earn 1000-2000 Indian Rupees by working just 1-2 hours daily!

Actually, even my father can only make less than 1000 rupees as a truck driver by working more than 15 hours daily.

So, I was really impressed with what I saw in that ad.

The ad also mentioned that it was a COPY-PASTE job on the internet. This sparked something inside me, and from then on, I started recognizing related ads daily in the newspaper.

One day, I finally decided to take action.

I walked to a cafe near my college and started browsing the internet for the first time in my life…

…I was a bit nervous, but I typed “how to make money online” into Google (it was the default webpage on the computer at that time).

Google showed me a lot of ways to make money online. So I visited each page on the first page, including some advertisements.

I was shocked at what I saw!

People were earning thousands of dollars every day by working on the internet!

I took my mobile calculator and calculated how much that would be in Indian rupees. It was a mind-blowing amount!

Actually, in Indian rupees, 1 dollar equals around 41 rupees in that period. So, people were making more than 41,000 rupees daily!

I was really motivated after seeing this. So, I decided to research more about this opportunity.

However, since I only had the money to pay for one hour at the cafe, I decided to stop browsing and return to college.

However, that day changed my life because I realized that something big and extraordinary was happening on the internet…and I wanted to be a part of it!

The only problem was that I didn’t have a computer or an internet connection at home.

But I managed to get it; let me tell you that story next time.

Fast forward to today, my highest daily income was more than $6000! (Actually, I forgot the exact digit!!!)

So, the moral of this story is that if you have a sparking moment or an idea, take action on it immediately!

You never know where it might lead you…

…but if you don’t take action, you’ll never know!
