Riding the wave.

Can you imagine what it would be like to stumble upon an idea that earned you $20,000 a month? Does it sound too good to be true? It was! A few years ago, Poppa V created a blog where he could send his old Navy buddies and share content that they all enjoyed. What started as a way to stay in touch and share funny YouTube videos soon turned into a money-making opportunity. Following Scott’s advice, Poppa V utilized AdSense to start collecting revenue from all the traffic he was getting on his blog. Once the traffic spiked and a link got shared, the profits started rolling in, at one point Poppa V made about $29,000 in one month! Unfortunately, the wave he was riding came to an end, two years later Google shut down the AdSense pipeline on the site.
