How I made $500 from $0 online when I was 15 years old

Hey Steemit! So today I thought I'd share one of my experiences with gaining money online. This was probably the most I've made from just one thing. I really did not expect much out of it, yet it turned out very good. But anyways, let's get into how it went about.

So, one night I was just playing Minecraft, and then a bunch of my Minecraft online friends kept saying they all wanted to make a server. So, on that day I rushed through making an Enjin site and set up donations into my account and when you donated you could pay for ranks, and rare items in the game. Then while I was in the process of making I decided to add it into a server voting site which already brought players so I had to rush through things even quicker.

Anyways, it didn't get too many players but I did often have like 15 players on and it was fun. People now and again would donate like $10, but where I got about half of my total was from my $100 ranks. One day, two players decided to buy it. I walked home from school and saw that $200 was added into my account. I rubbed my eyes thinking I was dreaming. I just could not believe it. I was only 15 years old and coming home to $200 from being at school felt amazing.

But, it also felt weird.. I just never liked getting money from people. Even though it was their choice, it just felt really weird and at some point when I lost player base I decided to close down the server and I refunded whoever I could (PayPal has a time limit).

But yeah, so I made a lot of money from this server, especially for the age I was, and I have thought of making a new server numerous amounts of times, but I never had a team to help me with the task. It's a very time consuming task especially when done alone.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this short post, I just thought of this again recently and I thought I'd share it on Steemit. If anyone has any questions or comments feel free to express yourself in the comments, I usually answer fairly quickly.
