July 1999 – Faced with the reality of going back to college, I decided to use my computer skills to earn money online. I broke up with my girlfriend at the time, and got rid of ALL my “music business” friends. I locked myself in my mothers den for 5 months and only left to go work delivering pizza. I got into free stuff web sites and made a web site called free4women.com. Then I was earning money online.
I eventually built tshirtnews.com, refer 3 friends to join our newsletter and get a free t-shirt. I earned over 3 million dollars in 1 year. I bought a Miami Beach penthouse for 1 million and spent the rest living life to the fullest. The tshirtnews.com newsletter grew to 6 million subscribers. When I started doing newsletters in June 2000, I could earn $15,000 per month with 80,000 subscribers. The biggest month was $380,000 in July 2000 with 2.2 million subscribers... Craig :)
