This is a "lie" the man-a personal site to make money, AdSense-IT information
A man, 24, wrote on a Web site, working only 2 hours a day, he was still too much work. He earned from Google ads several tens of thousands of dollars a day, without a partner, never financed, one master 100% stake, at the age of 36 us $ 575 million selling the company.
On July 14, 2015, the dating site Plenty of Fish for $ 575 million of the price-Match Group acquisition, Markus Frind, the founder, now he was only 36 years old. Website by Markus from 2003 on my own for a long time started, make money by Google AdSense.
Because the site is making money, and without any employees, so Markus did not require a partner, do not need financing, company 100% belongs to him alone. When they sold the company and no one to divide the $ 575 million and 575 million dollars all belong to him alone!
This Niggaz was a personal business model.
Back in 2008, Markus told the New York Times, his site's net profit was $ 10 million a year. He works 10 hours a week, for only 2 hours a day. However, he told reporters:
Markus on Business Insider said that when he knows what is such a thing as venture capital when he has net profits of millions of dollars each year. So, he really don't know what to tell venture capitalists say, really do not know how to finance.
When Markus sold Plenty of Fish this year, the site already has more than 90 million subscribers. 3.6 million active users.
Markus said his 2003 want to do Plenty of Fish at first, because they had just learned a new computer language for ASP. In order to exercise practiced hand, after looking for work can prove they know about ASP and casually made Plenty of Fish. Results there are a lot of people to register, just fire up slowly. Web sites can earn $ 4000 per month, almost able to feed himself when he quit his job, makes a living by website advertising.
Plenty Of Fish (abbreviation: POF) is Canada famous online dating sites, dating, and has the world's most advanced dating matching system, and therefore suffer from Canada and the United States, and Brazil and the United Kingdom and Ireland and other countries Internet users of all ages.
Markus that he founded and maintained during the Plenty of Fish, there have never been any difficulties. Plenty of Fish online only a few months old, only hundreds of visitors a day, but increased traffic, growth is stable at a constant speed. So he can clearly foresee, how many visitors will be the next four or five months. And he had plenty of time, a man slowly improve server performance, improve the structure of the database. Markus said, he was most proud of was: "I am a person, can generate 1 billion Web pages every month."
Markus only works 2 hours per day. INC when they interviewed him, and ask him what time of day he finds most interesting. He said that morning, because only 2-3 hours in my work in the morning. When asked, do you think the most interesting thing is what, his answer was: "go to the Bank, put Google ads I have a denomination of 1 million cheque deposit to get in. ”
Markus said Google's advertising, had to put Markus set out the details of advertising revenue. Is below:
In June 2003, only 493 views, advertising revenues 7.6 Canada Yuan (almost US $ equivalent) in July 2013, with more than 180,000 views, advertising revenue has more than 1700. Slowly increased steadily each month, the truth in February 2004, has reached more than 12,000 more in advertising revenue. June 2004 revenues exceeded 50,000 yuan. In April 2005, the monthly income of 100,000 yuan.
In June 2006, he posted a Google ad to send his cheque for 900,000 compared to earn $ 30,000 per day. This time, the site is still the only person. While his rivals generally have at least 600 servers, at least 300 or more employees.
Achieved each month can make a million dollars on my own goals, and after a year, by the year 2007, Markus is the first staff person. By now, Plenty of Fish a month already has 370 million independent IP and 2.5 billion page views, still only 65 people.
A person, business (not even start, just amateur had a "small" Web site); one, silently improve the website alone, silently making money (amount until a few hand cramps).
This is business, is the real down-to-Earth, is the real deal.
Markus is a model of each start from scratch.
这是一个“躺着”赚大钱的男人 - 个人网站,站长 - IT资讯
一个人，24岁时写了一个网站，每天只工作2小时，他还嫌工作量太大。他每天从谷歌广告赚好几万美元，不用合伙人，从来也不融资，一个人掌握100%股权，36岁时 5.75亿美元 卖掉公司。
2015年7月14日，婚恋网站Plenty of Fish以5.75亿美元的价格被Match Group收购，他的创始人Markus Frind现年才36岁。网站长期由Markus自己一个人从2003年开始经营，就靠放谷歌广告赚钱。
因为网站太赚钱，又没有什么员工，所以Markus 完全不需要合伙人 ， 不需要融资 ，公司的股权100%属于他一个人。卖掉公司时，没有任何人来分这5.75亿美元，5.75亿美元全部属于他一个人！
这简直就是屌丝一个人创业的楷模。
2008年的时候，Markus告诉《纽约时报》，他的网站一年的净利润是1000万美元。他每周工作10小时， 每天只干2小时 。但是，他居然跟记者说：
Markus对Business Insider说，当他知道什么是风险投资这种东西的时候，他每年已经有几百万美元的净利润了。所以，他实在不知道该怎么跟风险投资人说， 实在不知道该怎么融资 。
Markus今年卖掉Plenty of Fish的时候，网站已经有 9000万注册用户了。 360万 活跃用户。
Markus说他2003年刚开始想做Plenty of Fish，是因为刚刚学会了一门新出来的计算机语言ASP。为了练练手，以后找工作的时候能证明自己懂ASP，就随手做了Plenty of Fish 。结果居然有很多人来网站注册，慢慢就火起来了。等到网站每个月能赚 4000美元 ，差不多能养活他自己的时候，他就辞了工作了，靠网站的广告费为生。
Plenty Of Fish（简称：POF）是加拿大著名的在线交友网站，以婚恋交友为主，拥有全球最先进的婚恋匹配系统，因此深受来自加拿大、美国、巴西、英国和爱尔兰等国家网民的青睐。
Markus觉得他创办和维护Plenty of Fish期间，从来没有出现过任何真正困难。Plenty of Fish上线只建立了几个月的时候，一天只有几百个访客，但是流量增加很匀速、成长很稳定。所以他可以很明确的预见到，接下来的四五个月会有多少访客。然后他就有足够的时间， 一个人 慢慢提高服务器的性能、改善数据库的结构。Markus对记者说，他最骄傲的事情是：“就靠我一个人，每个月能生成 10亿个网页页面 ”。
Markus每天只工作2个小时。INC采访他的时候，问他每天什么时候他觉得最有意思。他说，早上，因为只有早上2-3个小时我在工作。当被问到，你觉得工作时最有意思的事情是什么时，他的回答是：“去银行，把谷歌广告给我开的面额 100万的支票 存到进去。”
说到谷歌给Markus开的广告费，不得不把Markus的广告收入明细列出来。就是下图：
2003年6月，只有493个浏览量，广告收入7.6加拿大元（差不多跟美元等值）；2013年7月，就有了18万多的浏览量，广告收入1千7百多了。慢慢每月稳步递增，道理2004年2月，广告收入已经到了1万2千多了。2004年6月的收入，突破了5万块钱。2005年4月，月收入突破10万元。
2006年6月，他贴出了一张谷歌广告给他寄来的90万元的支票，相对于每天赚3万块。这个时候，这个网站仍旧还是只有他一个人。而他的竞争对手，一般都至少有600台服务器，至少300名以上的员工。
在实现了每个月自己一个人都能赚到百万美元的目标之后，又过了一年，到了2007年Markus才有了第一个员工人。到现在，Plenty of Fish每个月已经有了3.7亿的独立IP和25亿的浏览量，员工仍然只有65个人。
一个人，默默创业（甚至都谈不上创业，只是业余做了个“小”网站）；一个人，默默改善自己的网站；一个人，默默赚钱（直到数钱数到手抽筋）。
这才是创业，才是真正的脚踏实地，才是真正的生意。
Markus是每个 白手起家者 的楷模。
