Ryan Eagle’s Beginnings: I’ve been on computers since Microsoft Windows 3.2, but the true addiction started when we got our first Compaq computer. I had recently moved from Texas, where I had spent the majority of my time outside, to Illinois. The weather wasn’t so friendly so I had a lot of time inside. I spent that time on the computer, and I wanted 더 많이 than anything to run an internet business. In the fifth grade, I made my first website from HTML and it all went up from there. The first money I made online was from selling virtual game items for the game Diablo II. I used those funds to pay for people to write my school papers and do my homework (I wasn’t much of a school-oriented guy) and buy my first car – a shiny BMW 325i. I also ran various online forums. I ran everything from a Photoshop community, to a video game hacking community. I added 구글 AdSense onto my websites and I got my first check, framed to this day, for a whopping $4.81. My father was absolutely astounded that money could be made online. To me, it was just a beginning and I wanted more. For an ego boost, I decided to make a “network” of sites based on topics that I enjoyed. I had no real money motive, I just wanted to seem bigger than I was. I made websites about upcoming game consoles, MySpace, everything and anything that was interesting to me. My ad revenues started increasing and I made a very simple decision: quit my job, smoke pot all day, work on my online business and lose about $1,500 a 월 from my 일 job. Being the pothead I was, I decided to make the jump. One average 일 I awoke and checked my AdSense account and was absolutely astounded. The daily balance was over $1,000 and I still had a full 일 ahead. I looked through my network of sites and noticed that one of them was getting thousands of hits a day, and I checked it on 구글 and I had managed to rank myself #1 using the SEO I had been researching. This was the start of my life into the online world of business, I saw the gold and I knew I had to capitalize.
