                      They are selling online game commodoties, mainly everquest items.

                      these items exist only on servers, inside the game, people pay cash for money, items, characters, inside a game.

                      Take a closer look, ever consider paying $1,800 dollars to play a video game? many people do and these guys are cashing in on the craze.

                              boosted with power and magic points on some online game

                                My point is, gaming auctions are big biz, and suppliers of their products are cashing in. These guys run 10 comps all day, every day, buying and selling items in game, making cash, virtual platinum, in game, then selling it for real world money to the tune of $200,000 plus a year if not more. The auction company that facilitates such sales has to be raking in the cash if one user can pull income like that from their site.
                                Kids as young as 12 pulling $30k a year just playing video games. The one catch is most game companies such as sony strictly forbid these sales, but this doesnt stop these guys in the least, as you can tell by looking at the site. There are 400,000+ players of just everquest, thats a helluva customer base right off the bat, no need to go looking for them, they find you!

                                  No, the cash is real. I have a buddy that sits around all day playing EQ and Earth and Beyond and makes 6 figures a year selling the virtual goodies. He has a desk that would make intel very very happy.

                                          If I was to pick one to go into it would be pharmaceuticals before the drug companies and their distributors put a stop to it.

                                                fuckin idots.

                                                here's some examples of stuff sold online that makes the porn business look SMALL.

                                                stocks - yes stocks - online trading makes more money I'd be willing to wager than ANYTHING else online.

                                                online banking

                                                ads - yahoo and other search engines.

                                                Software - everything from word processors to games.

                                                News



                                                just a few examples
                                                This dog, is dog, a dog, good dog, way dog, to dog, keep dog, an dog, idiot dog, busy dog, for dog, 20 dog, seconds dog!

                                                Now read without the word dog.

                                                        Ebay has that game shit too extremely over saturated like evverything else on there

                                                        But that site playerauctions gets 1.5 million hits a day and im sure most of its targeted traffic. Go out and look for hardcore game players and offer to sell their players for cash and get a cut

                                                          Hosting. It seems saturated, but all you need is a gimmick, a new twist on an old theme, and you can still make good money at it.

                                                                                      I spend about 4 hours per day researching various stocks and looking at charts. If anyone has about 150k lying around, it is very resonable to day trade on margin and make 10k - 20k per day.

When I worked with affiliates for the insurance website, there were master affiliates making $250,000 a month and thats on $3-$8 commissions for the most part. I think if you are not set up in that already and have been doing it for a few years , its hard to start now. It cost too much now to start up the traffic and any of the keywords that matter for that cost a fortune to bid on. It would be nice to make that kind of money and not have to worry about the police knocking on your door or who is President.
