It took a fall from the sky and 27 fractures for one man to become a successful Internet entrepreneur
It took a fall from the sky and 27 fractures for one man to become a successful Internet entrepreneurHe visits his work place only three times a week, and still managed to earn $55,123 last month. Who is this man and what does he do?
His name is Karamveer aka Jim Karter. An IITian from Mumbai, Karamveer revisited his alma mater to be part of the BarCamp which was being held for the first time in the city. BarCamps are meets that bring technologically savvy people together for impromptu discussions.
At the camp, Karamveer managed to spark a lot of debate. Participants wanted to know how he earned all that money. But what does Karamveer do? "I run 200 blogs. Every time a user clicks on an ad on the blog, I earn big bucks," he says.
His blogs are niche and receive one million views every day. He has blogs on cars, sports, celebrity gossip and even a blog on how to make money online.
It all started when Karamveer was in the sky, literally. As part of the gliders' community in Pune, he used to enjoy flying till one fatal day, when he fell from the sky and crashed breaking the bones in his legs and hands.
Bedridden and with 27 fractures there was little he could do. So he placed his laptop on his stomach and started the 'Make Money Online' blog.
"I love earning money online and I loved writing about it and then earning more money from it," he says very simply. One commentator on his 'Make Money Online' blog asks, "What do you do with all the money? I bet you live in a castle." "Nope," he replies. I still live in my three-bedroom flat.
The man, however, doesn't spend 24 hours online like you'd think. "There was a point when I used to spend a lot of time on the Internet. But now all the money keeps pouring in." Today, Karamveer is a happy man and enjoys the income he earns.
