I made this video the other day. It’s one of the easiest ways to start making money online. Not saying it’s gonna make you a millionaire but kinda hard to screw it up.

One thing to remember is that it’s not really the website itself that’s worth $125 million but rather dailycandy’s email list consisting of over 2.5 million subscribers.

I just realized that comes out to about $50 per email address. Wow!
