Back in 2013, Scott Keyes was just a regular 26-year-old guy who loved traveling and finding good deals. He enjoyed finding the cheapest flights possible, and scored a trip from New York City to Milan for only $130. Little did he know, this deal would trigger a series of events leading to the creation of his million dollar company: Scott’s Cheap Flights.
Keyes’ cheap flight to Milan captivated many of his friends who wanted to find cheap flights as well. This prompted him to start an email list to share deals with them and make the process easier. After a couple of years, the email list was growing so much that he has to charge a small $2 fee for a full subscription. Now it is $49 a year for a premium subscription, which is nothing compared to how much you’ll save on flights using the deals.
His newsletter was bringing in thousands of dollars a month, and so he quit his work as a freelance journalist to focus on growing his new business. Today he has over 2 million subscribers and he personally spends hours a day finding good deals for them!
Keyes is very inspiring because he never intended to become an entrepreneur and his business came to be simply because he was doing what he loved and helping others find good deals. His career practically happened by accident! To this day, he’s spent less than a thousand dollars on marketing. His success gives me hope that I can do what I love and let the money come after.
