Remember back in the day when people would build websites and blogs just to earn a few dollars a month in Google Adsense?

While make money blogs all over the internet talked about building vast blogging empires of 10 sites each earning $50 a month, Chris Guthrie was doing something different.

He was building an website and blog empire too. Instead of sipping on a few cents a day in Adsense clicks, he was making serious money promoting products available on one of the oldest affiliate merchants on the Internet – Amazon.

Not only was he making money from Amazon, he was also building up valuable websites that he would then sell for tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars. His most public and most successful site is NetbookReviews.com, which he sold for a six figure sum, but he’s sold several in the five figure range as well.

Learn how he sold millions of dollars in goods while making a comfortable six figure income… and how he’s parlaying that experience and knowledge to an even bigger project.
