    Default Louis CK makes $1 Million online in 12 days

    Saw this on Mashable:
    http://mashable.com/2011/12/23/louis-ck-million/

    This to me is a valuable lesson in monetizing content, as well as proof that the content production industry has no leg to stand on when lobbying for SOPA. Clearly if you set the price right, people will still pay for content.

    It helps that he's a really funny guy with a ma-hoosive profile.

    He basically gamed Reddit, but in a way that made them all feel good about it
    Interested in quality, relevant link exchanges and deals, especially with UK sites.

    I've never even heard of him! Great story though, great to see someone trying to take the non-traditional route and it paying off.

    I've never heard of the guy but it's an interesting story and one which the producers of various types of material may well learn by,

    Ha! If the story was about me, it would read "Affiliate Manager makes meagre salary after years of hard work". Louis CK is hilarious though, if you don't know him, you should spend an afternoon on Youtube watching his standup. You will not regret it.
