I smell a Billionaire!


 
 
Yep, that can be YOU! Wouldn't that be nice..and just remember who gave you that idea!
 
In this day and age, with our wonderful economical situation, not a day goes by when I don't talk to someone that has lost their job. So while jobs may come and go, the internet is here to STAY! And there are SO many people that have grown to be BILLIONAIRES by playing around on the web. Ok, so "playing" on the web probably consists of facebooking (that damn Farmville game has GOT do go) or Bejeweled (my personal poison), and it's not that easy, but coming up with something creative can put some serious buck in your bank. Take a look at some of these e-billionaires and what they did to make my favorite shade of green $$
