some examples on how bon vivants make money

as I mentioned in the previous post, there are several ways to make easy money in ways that are neither illegal nor immoral...however, for many of these strategies to work it is important to be smart and agile...let me proceed with some examples:

1.- Domain resale...some very smart bon vivants made a lot of money this way (ok...some nerds too)...some even obtained more than one million dollars for a simple domain that cost about ten bucks to register...how about that for a nice return on investment! For some examples of domain names sold for record amounts you can click on the following link: http://www.active-domain.com/resources/million-dollar-domains.htm
It is important to note that this strategy doesn't offer much possibility of big success anymore...after an easy way of making money is discovered by the masses, returns tend to drop very quickly...

2.- Sell air...or something just as inexpensive...at a very high price. A good example is the smart guy that sold pixels on his homepage for $1...making more than one million dollars. Other examples include selling SMS messages with advice on love, luck, or funny phrases, etc.

3.- Marry well...since this is a classical approach, I won't go into much detail on this one.

4.- Become a successful Poker Player. One could argue that this is the ideal bon vivant career approach. If you are good at it you can make a lot of money winning poker tournaments, you get to drink a lot of good wine, and socialize with other bon vivants. Not to mention that many beautiful women are attracted to men with this lifestyle.

5.- Earn commissions and finder fees. This is a good way to capitalize the extensive social networks of the bon vivant. You can make a lot of money if you help close a big business deal, which can even be done while playing golf.

I will later provide more examples...if you have good examples you want to share, don't hesitate to write to donbonvivant@gmail.com

Have a nice weekend!
