Craig Grant 1999 - I was desperate to find a way out of my mothers house and out of school. I started thinking maybe now it’s time to find a rich old woman, my last resort to wealth. Early in the year I found a flier advertising Unlimited long distance for a flat rate of $59 per month. I could tell this was a new company and new technology, and I wanted to get involved. The company was International Communications Corporation from Boca Raton, Fl. I called them and asked if there was a away I could make $$ promoting their service. They signed me up as a reseller making $25 per new customer plus 10% of the recurring phone bill. I made fliers and advertised the service in the local news paper. I made a web site called LongDistanceFlat.com that was programmed to sign up new customers online.
At first my web site collected the customer information, then I would print and fax the order. When I started the service was only available locally, but the company grew fast and then it was available nationwide. I started learning how to promote my web site online to get more customers. I started getting checks in the mail. I was happy to be making $$ this way. It took allot of work but I was working for myself without a boss on my back and making my own hours, I liked it. I spent all the $$ I made delivering pizza on promoting LongDistanceFlat.com.
