Am I going to earn enough money to live comfortably?
Like any good parent, Grosshandler tried to think of a solution to his daughters concerns.
Then, this serial entrepreneur actually brought his innovative idea to life.
He started a company that gives power back to the consumer.
And, he plans to give away half his company in the next two years.
7 Ways to Make Money if You Hate People
Do you avoid people too?
Enough small talk.Here are some waysto earn extra cash, without all of the social stuff.
Its a cash-back shopping platform… but with a twist.
For each cash-back dollar you earn, youll receive $1 in iConsumer shares.
A collection of shares is generally referred to as stock.
More shares = more stock = more ownership.
His thinking:Youre helping to build the company, so why shouldnt you get a part of it?
How Do These Shares Work?
Lets make one thing clear: The iConsumer shares you earn arent worth anything yet.
When it hits 50,000 members, it plans to sell more shares and raise the price.
This is subject to change and is not a promise, the companys site says.
One such person is David Bauerle, an IT consultant living outside Denver, Colorado.
Hes been using iConsumer for three months.
Its intriguing; I dont know how [the shares] will play out, he says.
It could be worth nothing; it could be worth something interesting.
Unless another shopping portal is offering a higher cash-back percentage, Bauerle chooses to shop through iConsumer.
Its like a little lottery ticket you get with it, he says.
Sign up for iConsumer
Create your free iConsumer account, which automatically earns you 100 shares.
If you usually shop on your mobile equipment, it’s possible for you to also download the app.
Shop Online Through the Platform
The next time you should probably buy something online, log onto iConsumer.
Compare cash-back percentages at different retailers, as well as special offers like free shipping.
Then complete your online shopping as usual.
If people arent shopping and getting cash back via shopping online, they need to be, Baurle says.
And it looks like iConsumer has some of the best cash-back percentages.
Refer Friends
If youd like to earn more iConsumer shares, invite friends to join the platform.
For every friend who signs up and makes a purchase, youll both earn 100 extra shares.
Your Turn: Do you shop online?

You know which ones were talking about: rent, utilities, cell phone bill, insurance, groceries…
