In the event that you haven't heard, Osama bin Laden has been killed. It's been a hot topic all over the internet and in conversation since it happened... but for one guy, Osama's death was a golden lottery ticket worth an estimated $120,000 and counting...
There has been a tremendous rush for merchandise to celebrate the killing of Osama Bin Laden, and one young savvy individual has made $120,000 in less than two days selling Osama is dead merchandise. He's not even charging a lot of money for the T-shirts; I mean $12 bucks a pop ain't bad at all. For as little as $4.50 you can get a sticker for your car, folder or to stick on your laptop. With prices like THAT, even a gal like me (on a tight budget) can celebrate the death Osama bin Laden.
PAY ATTENTION guys! This is how you succeed in life. The minute Maurice Harary heard that Osama had been shot, he rushed to his computer and scooped up the website osamadeadtees.com and got busy in his apartment building the website until it was ready to go live at around 3:30am Monday morning.
I mean look, the site is nothing fancy, its reallllly basic but it doesn't seem to bother people who are hungry to get their hands on some kind of merchandise to commemorate the death of the world's most feared terrorist.
I'm telling you, FORTUNES can be made on the internet... if you learn nothing from school other than how to set up a proper website and make it look cool and drive traffic to it... you can make a living for the rest of your life... or at least for the foreseeable future.
"I'm just pumping, I'm not stopping. I'm just moving, moving, moving," Harary told Slate in an interview. He's been doing a LOT of interviews this week. He makes about $1 profit from each shirt sold and he had absolutely NO idea how popular the T-shirts would be. By Wednesday, he had to actually HIRE 4 part-time employees to help with the massive amount of orders for merchandise. He needed help because he had been working non-stop - he hadn't slept in 2 days and needed to hire people so that he could get some sleep.
Reasonable prices, cool designs and a hot topic have made this guy more money in a few simple days, than most people make in an entire year... or two years for that matter!
What do you think about this guy? Pretty smart, right? What's your Osama death T-shirt idea? Are you switching your college major over to website design and management right now? Let's chat in the comments!
