I made my first $1000 by doing a project for someone while in college which was a javascript based Basketball scoreboard back in 2003. No fancy jquery. Plain old boilerplate javascript and DOM manipulations. It was fun. The guy sold it to high schools for thousands more while my cut was $1000. It was intense and took a while to get it right but it taught me a lot. Since then, haven't done anything like that and just a consultant now!!
