How i have made $432 as a newbie with no skills ? (it was the best night of my life)

I remember one night (i guess 2012) i made $432 it was the best night of my life, i was a newbie, i didn't know even what is SEO or how to send or write an email lol..nothing, "nada", "rien", about the internet marketing..

What i did is following a great advice from a guru, he said you need to be creative if you cannot pay for the courses to learn..

That's what i did, i start to promote affiliate products, but where and how ? lol here's the shocking truth, i have made all the money in an exchange site (of clicks) and without doing nothing, how ?

First i had the affiliate link, then i went to an exchange site (trafficadbar) this site gives you the ability to earn points (converted to clicks) when someone click your link (outside the site), it still my affiliate link, then i downloaded Hitleap software (HitLeap is a traffic exchange service) i placed inside the affiliate link from (trafficadbar) and i let it run all the day, got around 2K-3K hits, i checked my affiliate account and boooom the dream come true second sale of my life $432 (first sale was really a funny story i earned $1 and im really proud that i start with it my internet marketing life)
