Although you have most likely heard of YouTube, you may not know about the three guys that founded this popular website. The three internet entrepreneurs thoughts of the website while engaged in conversation at a San Francisco dinner party, and now YouTube is an internet icon. If you are not familiar with YouTube, the concept is really quite simple. YouTube is a site set up to broadcast ... well ... you. Post anything you like on this website (in the form of a video), and watch millions of people view your work. The three founders (Jawed Karim, Chad Hurley, and Steve Chen) were former employees of the site PayPal, but they saw an opportunity to make a lot of money and they seized it. What inspired the three entrepreneurs? Well, they happened to notice just how obsessed people were with themselves, and sure enough the YouTube combination spread like wildfire. YouTube was just sold to another internet giant (Google), but the three founders still follow the site’s happenings very closely. From employees to millionaires over night – YouTube is truly every investors dream. Just how easy is it to become a millionaire on the internet? Well, all you really need is one skill and one idea ... of course, a few brilliant partners will also help. The internet is literally crawling with websites that are popping up every minute, and the possibilities are endless. YouTube is a fine example of internet entrepreneurship, but it is just one of the many things that you can do with the world wide web. |
