Igor Volkov – Internet Marketer

Lenny (not his real name) has been cleaning toilets and bathrooms in Sears Tower for twenty years before, by the sheer accident, he became a millionaire literally overnight. How could that happen, you ask? The answers is simply two words: Internet marketing.

Lenny immigrated to the United States from Laos in nineteen ninety five. Having no money, no job, and no English speaking ability whatsoever he, as millions of other immigrants, had no other choice as to become a toilet cleaner. Getting paid just five dollars per hour, Lenny could never dream to become an overnight success, appear on CNN and Oprah, and get to the cover page of People magazine. So, what happened?

Lenny met Igor (not real name) in the toilet when he was cleaning the urinals as usual. Igor, the successful Internet multimillionaire, who made his fortune promoting other people products and services online for an affiliate commission using the network of WordPress blogs and web 2.0 properties, maybe seen something in Lenny’s eyes, or maybe felt a kind of drive, the desire to succeed with which Lenny was polishing the urinal that Igor was using at the same time. To cut long story short, the very same evening Igor and Lenny, after having ten beers each at the local pub, went to Igor’s apartment and registered the domain for the online store to sell toilet cleaning supplies. The idea was to create a steady stream of income for Lenny to be able to quit his much hated toilet cleaning job. Probably because he had too much beer, or maybe because of a hunch, the call of the intuition, Lenny, instead of promoting the website, immediately put it on sale on Flippa. You can only imagine how he felt when the next morning, together with a terrible hangover, he got a three million dollar offer for his online store from a buyer who prefer to remain anonymous.

Truly, Internet marketing makes miracles and creates millionaires. If you don’t believe me, ask Lenny, the toilet cleaner turned Internet millionaire overnight.
