Bob Bernstein, 60, was laid off from his job as a real estate broker at the height of the recession in 2008, he says he had a feeling it would be a really long time before he found a job in his field again. Since there were no jobs in his field, Bernstein decided he was going to have to create a job for himself. He had owned some retail clothing stores for about fifteen years, but he no longer had the energy to deal with landlords, bring in inventory, hire employees and maintain hours. So he decided to take all his entrepreneurial ideas to the web. Since he lacked the technical skills to write all the code for a website, he teamed up with DevHub.com, a 2007 start-up company that makes it easy for people with ideas to create lucrative websites using drag-and-drop tools and a built-in network of web advertisers.
Since 2008, Bernstein has eked out a living for himself by creating twelve different websites using DevHub.com, including a travel discount site (DealstoVegas.com), an outdoor sporting goods store (Outtreck.com), a job search hub (Careersquick.com), and a website dedicated to comparing health insurance quotes (RXCare.org).
Bernstein's most lucrative site to date, ZipQuote.com, is a place where users can type in their zipcodes and receive free insurance quotes based on their locations. The site was so successful he moved it off of the DevHub platform and is now treating it as a full-time job. "It's only been in its current state for about five months, and it makes between $500 and $1000 a month. Huffington Post
