ROTE 010: Chad French – Kid Entrepreneur to PeerFly CEO
Never has there been such an opportunity as right now for anyone to start a business, blog or brand on the internet. It’s simply a matter of putting in the time and effort to make a different and not just sitting on the sidelines and watching it happen.
When I first started making money online, it was just one dollar at a time. Seriously! How crazy does that sound!
Yes, when I first started making money online when I was in a freshman/sophomore in high school I was designing graphic banners for people in the AOL webmaster chat room called the Web Diner. Even funnier… half of the people who ordered a banner, didn’t send me a dollar through the mail like they promised! (Remember… this was years before Paypal or any other online payment processing was created)
After a period of time of creating banners for a dollar each, I knew there was a way to make money online, I just had to find it.
Long story short… I then found Amazon.com’s affiliate program, then started creating my own sites and then came across my first affiliate network which changed everything.
This is exactly what we are going to be talking about in the latest episode of the Rise of the Entrepreneur.
