Gift Box

My life with Jeff Paul and the Internet Millions began when I found a white box roughly the size of a college textbook on my doorstep.  I had just graduated from an Ivy League school, dept free and with a surprising amount of cash in my pocket (Hate me, but I’m still unemployed).  With the money I bought some time, time to decide what I wanted to do with my life and time to delve into internet entrepreneurship.  I figured, websites are forever embedded in the intangible world of the internet, so long as I pay for hosting, might as well start a few when I’m young and have a reasonable source of extra cash for the rest of my life.  I had already started one moderately successful site, gaining a little revenue through Google Adsense.

So I had the hosting, and a slew of domain names I did not know what to do with.  Collecting domain names became a bit of a Pokemon “gotta catch em all” addiction, where I bought anything I felt was going to be marketable in the future.  I bought anything from fitness related domains to solar panel domains, giving me personal, brand ownership that I could build a website with, or just auction the domain later at an opportune time.  Most of them were about as expensive as a Chipotle Burrito, so I ate peanut butter and jelly to make up for my hobby. After the buying binge I was left with a couple years of hosting that I didn’t think I could possibly become popular enough to outgrow, and several domains just sitting there with nothing to do.

That’s the reason Jeff Paul’s Internet Millions captured my attention.  He said, call now, and you will receive 10 free internet businesses.  Well, I figured, 10 free, professionally built websites, chosen from a list of thousands, would give me the perfect remedy for my lazy domains.  I figured, if these pathetic hillbillies in the commercial can claim to make millions with the program, I, an Ivy League educated young man, who is proficient enough with web design to start his own Wordpress powered site, will be able to make a few dollars with these “internet businesses”.  I’m no programmer, or professional web designer, but I think I will be able to work with what they give me.  I mean, my friends are spending $50 bucks on Call of Duty 4, I will spend $39.95 plus shipping and handling to take a swing at this internet entrepreneurship deal.
