I agree wholeheartedly with you. I can't stress the significance of earning a first dollar online. Sometimes it's just not about money but the meaning, the symbolism, the representation attached to it. You are correct. That one dollar showed me that it is possible to make money online; that it is possible to earn money through writing because it is a forgotten and or ignored art in today's world of selfies and hashtags. I love my graft and it gives me such pleasure to be able to share it with like minded people such as yourself.
