This is a great story, and kudos to Max for being able to profit massively from it, but this type of thing always reminds me of day traders. For me, personally, it is not all that inspiring. Maybe I am being too altruistic, but it seems like instead of creating value, he is extracting value from other companies. Honestly, I would rather read stories about young people making 1/100 of what Max made, but instead of affiliate arbitrage, they are building their own product and hustling their own sales. Nonetheless, it is still an interesting read, and a way to make a quick buck if you are willing to put up some cash to get the traffic pumping.
- r00fus 15y agoYes, it's a form of arbitrage, and decidedly unsexy. It's also potentially very lucrative.
- AndrewWarner 15y agoLooks like he learned a lot from it and then moved on. Now he's running whatrunswhere.com, which does ad intelligence.
- swalkergibson 15y agoThat he does. Truthfully, I would be interested in finding out how he sold his WhatRunsWhere product to all of those clients he has listed on his site. Like I said, the story leading up to this point in his life is good, but I would personally be more interested in hearing more about WhatRunsWhere, not so much about making $10K/day being a broker for diet products. That being said, if the ultimate goal is to make as much money as quickly as possible, this is one way to make that happen. However, by his own admission, he is a shining example of becoming disillusioned with making money just for the sake of making money.
