Other "easy money" ideas from the early Intenet days besides domain squatting?

Had a discussion with a friend a while back who had gotten a degree in computer science back in the mid 90's, but went to work for an oil and gas company that had nothing to do with computers and how he regrets not using his talents at the dawn of the Internet.

He was talking about several people he graduated with who went to work for startups or started their own computer or Internet businesses and made tons of money.

I brought up the simple shite that someone with little computer savvy could have done like domain sitting or just great ideas for websites like TD.

What were some other "easy money" making Internet ideas?

AAPL is also the abbreviation for the American association of professional Landmen.

Early 90's? I wish I had been feeling like a Nigerian prince. It was unknown and would have worked and was not against the law yet.

ETA: Really? 6 of you gave your money to this scam? The butthurt is strong here. Should I delete the post to create more of a safe space for the victims?

Ah, don't follow the stock market too much.

But picking stocks is not exactly "easy money" retard.

The internet is just a fad. It'll all die off just like the fidget spinner.
