Some people just have the itch, the drive, the absolute need to create things out of thin air and make money along the way.  That’s exactly the kind of person this week’s guest, Marc Ostrofsky is.  It started in very typical fashion, with a lemonade stand (I’m not even kidding: http://bit.ly/14T2Dng).  After he made his first couple of bucks, he was hooked. In college, while the rest of us were “studying”, Marc was getting his Real Estate license and selling condo’s to student’s parents.  He eventually made the natural transition into the world of making money on the internet, and ten’s of millions of dollars later, he’s sharing all of his knowledge with us.

Join us this week to learn:

• How to leverage all the technology we have at our finger tips
• Marc’s favorite online applications
• How to spot an opportunity and take advantage of it
• and more!
