Inspiration for the day: PlentyOfFish.com $500k/mo 1-man operation

Wow. This is an interview with Marcus Frind. And this is a quick post by him on how he got started (and making $5.63 his first month of AdSense revenues). As of June ’06, he was making nearly $500k/month in AdSense revenues — and he’s a 1-man operation.

    Actually, shouldn’t that be $842k/mo? I mean, i know the exchange rate on the dollar is crap, but 800k+ is way the hell better than 500k

    That is definately inspiration! Thanks :) Now off to working on coding that idea again. At first I was thinking I’m just a developer and could never create great looking professional sites — now from this I can see that creating a really ugly site on purpose may actually be better :) I think I have the skills to make ugly websites lol :) CHEERS!

    Very remarkable and inspirational. I just wrote about it last week. That definitely makes me get my booty up everyday to devote myself to my startup, which I hope to launch by late this summer.
