For many
people, the dream of owning their own business and becoming their own boss
motivates them to take action. Some turn to the internet and technology-based
business plans while others seek more traditional paths to entrepreneurship.
Here’s a sampling of success stories from a variety of entrepreneurs:
Killer Aces
Media – Community Blogging Publishers
Three young
adults who had been friends since high school decided to create an internet
publishing company. Will, Lynn and Greg established Killer Aces Media, and the
very successful Wisebread.com was created in December 2006. The
concept of Wisebread, and several other internet entities they own, is to
provide quality content by multiple bloggers – while paying the contributing
bloggers a competitive compensation for their efforts. Wisebread.com is ranked
#10,455 in the world according to the three-month Alexa traffic rankings as of
August 2011.
Andrew and
Daryl Grant – Internet Marketing Experts
Andrew
and Daryl Grant of
Australia started out as over-worked employees of large corporations. They were
making a lot of money, but they were working all the time. They started
thinking about ways to make money without having to work as many hours and
tried a number of different business models across several different industries
from real estate to finance to business consulting. At one point, they tried
using their existing skills and consulting for businesses, and while they were
great at what they did and were still able to bring in a lot of money – they
were still directly trading their time for money. They later discovered how to
generate passive income through selling e books and other information products
online, and through the creation of membership sites.
