I used to work for a HUGE auto insurance company in Southern California
My boss had this policy of adjusters taking whatever auto part the company paid a settlement for
An insured claimed a full set of chrome wheels for replacement
She had proof from a body shop that the wheels were warped
We paid a huge amount of cash to replace them
I asked my boss what I was supposed to do with the wheel set
He said, TAKE EM - I don't care what you do with them after but TAKE THEM
This was to prevent fraud
So I had the repair shop put the wheels in my trunk
Drove home
Got on my PC and placed an online ad
In less than a day, some dudes came over and paid $900 for the full set
This experience turned me on to the power of making $$$ on the Internet and pretty soon I quit my job
When I started my digital agency, a client saw one of my articles online and after ONE EMAIL sent me $52,000 for a project
