Panhandling breaks through to the web: Even the unemployed make
a living on the internet
A 24 year old unemployed man from Linwood New Jersey has set one
goal in his life, to live it unemployed, yet burden free.
Michael Mansueto launched unemployedloser.com after he realized
that if he doesn't come up with some cash shortly, he will be
forced to look for a job.
The site features a daily journal from Mike, which includes tips
on how to live unemployed, as well as a means to purchase links
on the site itself. Anyone can buy a link for a minimum of 50
cents. The more money an advertiser spends, the higher up on the
page their link will be displayed.
"Yes, I am unemployed," Mike said, "but I figure if I'm going to
be unemployed and a loser, I might as well try and become an
unemployed winner," Mike continued. "I had always asked myself
the age old question, how can I become a millionaire without
doing any work at all? Then I said, 'the internet!'"
If he succeeds, Mike will reach his goal of $1,000,000 in link
sales before he runs out of spending money. Don't get too
concerned though, Mike is an expert at spending as few dollars
as possible. "I went on a seven week, cross country trip to
California last Spring. My family and friends were amazed that
in those seven weeks I only spent $1300.00, of which $600.00 was
for gasoline.
The site has made just over $625 in the three days since it's
launch. "I have to say, I did not think it would be such a
success so early in the game," Mike exclaimed.
