It all started with Super Nintendo.

I was low on cash, and even lower in space in my house. My housemates were ready to do a massive spring cleaning, and I joined in, hauling out all the crap from underneath my bed. I found my old Super Nintendo, a lot of books and old CDs, a bunch of toys I used to play with, and a whole lot more. I looked these things up on eBay, and decided it was worth the effort to actually learn how auctions worked. Within 10 minutes of listing my items, I noticed that the Super Nintendo had been bid up to $140. “Wow,” I thought, “There's something to this.”

I spent the next few weeks looking over the stuff in my house, and systematically eliminating everything that I hadn't used for a while. I lost a lot of toys that month, but it cleaned my house, and put money in my pocket, so I was happy.

But now I didn't have any toys to play with. What's a college kid to do without his video games? A little more research. Not for my thesis, but on how to make money on the internet.

I spent much of that summer buying more stuff to sell on eBay. I also spent a lot of time writing for Associated Content, including all of the guides that eventually became the Green Machine website.

For a month or two, while I was in between part time jobs, I did a little research on new ways to make money. I found a lot of frauds, and only a few companies that I considered to be decent. One of those companies was the Trial Offer site that I recommend you all participate in. The earnings from that site paid my way out of the debt I found myself in thanks to some of those frauds I mentioned. If there's anything to be learned from this, it's that you shouldn't trust everyone or every opportunity, and that you should find a trusted website to recommend you before you jump in with anyone. Take it from me, I've been there.

Eventually, with my college thesis done, the idea for this site began. It was the product of a few sleepless nights to get everything converted over, but it worked. And then the emails began.

I'm not about hype. I'm about results. Real, live results. Enjoy the site, profit from the site, but remember this: you need to earn it. Nobody is going to pay you decent money for just jumping right in and running your computer. Sorry, you're not that special. You need to earn it, but if you put in that effort, you can do it. Good luck.
