Would you be interested in investing $199 to make $115,000? That's what Jeff and Mandy Rose made last year. To most people they may seem like an ordinary couple...
Have you seen the online video where Jimmy Kimmel tells parents to pretend their child’s Halloween candy is all gone while recording the child’s reaction? Or how about the one where Walter White from Breaking Bad is a pharmacist in an Esurance commercial…the one where the Budweiser Clydesdales save a puppy…the “Bad Lip Reading” spoofs of the presidential debates and the NFL…?
Start a blog this week—take a couple of days to really set it up right—and it could earn you a full-time income from anywhere in the world you want to be. Sound far-fetched? I'm not surprised. After all, as recently as the year 2000, "blog" wasn't even a word.
