How Pinterest spammer 'Steve' reaps thousands of dollars a day
http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/27/29...spam-bot-steve

Steve says that he has no real "nine to five job," and that his single source of income is online earnings ? despite claiming to have three associate degrees in aviation and an FCC license. But it's not surprising that he's eschewing a traditional means of making a living, since he says that for the past two weeks he's made over $1,000 a day, and expects to earn between $2,000 and $2,500 a day by next week. With Steve's Pinterest success now open for the world to see, it's possible that the popular network will need to ramp up efforts to crack down on spam ? Steve says that it's "by far the easiest social network to spam right now," and "quite possibly the easiest ever to spam."

It was a weak attempt at backtracking because he realized he had just given away his method.

Just another person making more money than he should without having an actual skill. But I guess spamming is a skill.

Making money with Pinterest isn't any secret and the fact that one person lied about it doesn't mean it's impossible to do..
