Chris Koerner on The Koerner Office Podcast

My favorite college side hustle passively netted me $300 - $500/day for a while:

- Scraped all of craigslist for newly listed iPhones that were locked to carrier

- Mass emailed this to the sellers:

"Did you know your iPhone is worth $50 more if unlocked? Unlock for $20 at 20dollarunlock . com"

- I pushed half of the traffic to 10dollarunlock . com and half to the $20 one to A/B test.

It was a dead simple Shopify site that I cloned. This was 2012.

When an order was placed an automation would pay a guy from eBay $5 and send him the IMEI# to get the phone unlocked.

It was a no brainer offer, and almost fully automated.

I can still see the remnants of those sites on Web Archive...those were simpler days...
