Bullish: How to Make an Extra $100 a Month, Part I

I once considered writing a book entitled “How to Make $30,000 a Year and Sleep as Late as You Want.” Small, quantified claims are so much more credible than “Make a Million Dollars While You Sleep!”, “The Ten- Minute Workweek,” “7-Minute Abs,” etc.

So I have to get creative!” that we don’t really doubt it. And it works, sort of. We think they can take this a step further and start a magazine called “Sexy Fundamentalist Today.” In addition to hundreds of bubbling pictures (we’re including some more below, as well as the “before” shots) it will contain articles like: … More »
