The disgusting way I passed the time as a freshman

Published: Sat, 12/02/17

Sure, I studied a lot. So much, in fact, that within one year I needed an eyeglass prescription, which I'd never had before.

I kept so busy that I remember making sure I had my door key out before reaching my door, so as not to have to waste the three seconds standing there fumbling for it.

But I needed to work part time.

So....

I cleaned bathrooms.

Student bathrooms.

I do not recommend this.

Keeping their bathrooms clean is evidently not a top priority of most college students, I learned.

This was before the Internet was much of anything.

Had it been around, I could have been quietly building an Internet business.

(Using a model people in the know are aware of, but which almost nobody else knows about -- including me up until last week.)

I would place the approach described by software seller Sam Bakker in my top five Internet business models.

I don't mean to say that you can't do this if you're older. I mean you could have an empire while still a young man if you get a jump on it at an early age.

In other words, it's the kind of thing you wish you'd known about earlier. It's like: "I wish I'd invested in Bitcoin when it was just $12!"

Well, I can't fix that, but I have a blueprint for you that's been quietly lucrative for plenty of normal people.

It's a mere 27 smackers. The $5 off coupon -- code is sls5 -- expires at midnight.

"If only I'd known about...." Well, now you do:
