As a 29-year-old turned an obsession with cheap airline ticketing into a $1 million deal in less than 2 years.

Scott Keyes found a non-stop flight from New York City to Milan for 130 dollars in 2013. He didn't know then that his hunt for bargains in the internet would turn into almost seven-digit numbers, a start-up with five employees and an e-mail newsletters with almost 250,000 recipients. As Keyes, now 29 years old, came back from Milan, his boyfriends were in despair to know how to do such breathtaking business.

I' m Scott Keyes in Milan. The $130 round-trip air fare was the catalytic converter for his deal. And Keyes consented to divide the bargain with his mates. By April 2015, a journalist from Facebook listened to Keyes' low cost airline tickets e-mail lists from Facebook and told a report about Keyes' air search capability.

"The things on my side were just lucky," says Keyes. Happiness sometimes just comes in your lap," he said in an answer to a reader's survey in the first of four "Ask me anything" meetings he held last year. Almost over night, his e-mail schedule went from 300 to 3,000.

Since his e-mail lists were above the Mailchimp level for free service, Keyes had to pay to distribute his newletter. "I never thought I'd put it on the mailing lists, but the hostage rates made it a need, so I passed the message on to the mailing lists rolling," says Keyes, in a contribution he posted about his travels for heddit.

It decided to keep shipping some of its stores for free, but to require $2 per month for accessing all its stores. Keyes had 646 customers on its 646 customers on the Premiere Schedule introduced on August 23, 2015 and after three and a half mouths. However, the increase in his newsletters, appropriately called Scott's Cheaplights, has not decelerated.

As of February, Keyes had earned $24,376 in revenues with 1,687 paid and 7,847 free attendees, according to its second Redit Forums. As of May of this year, Keyes had up to 6,230 paid customers, 53,547 free customers, and $120,013 in revenues. Keyes currently has 29,639 paid customers and 204,021 free customers (a combined 233,660) and has $963,234 earned thanks to a Black Friday campaign.

and his fiancée travelled to Germany and Belarus for 60,000 United Meiles and 88 dollars per each. He grew through verbal propaganda, media reports, gifts and of course his four DMAs. "Such a deal would seriously be a small part of what it currently is without redness," says Keyes in a bulletin board on the site.

"Much of the actual subscription (is that a word?) is due to the publication on heddit. "Keyes created his own small imperium by looking for the occasional tears in the aircraft reservation system. Much of Keyes' offer is the product of what he called " fat-finger discounts" (someone has put them at 59 instead of 590 dollars)" or due to errors in translations between airlines.

"Somehow insane when I say it out loud, but Google is my life," he says in one of his red postings. Keyes stopped on his British Museum in London to analyse a great range of tickets. Keyes says in a red AMA about his start-up growth: "If it were simple to find cheap air travel, this store wouldn't be there.

Since Scott's Cheap Flights email grew, he had to hire people to keep up. "Everyone who knows me knows that I'm not a business man and never really had business ambitions, so it really felt strange being the "boss," says Keyes, who added that he "shivers when he just says the words out loud. What's the difference?

In Hierve el Agua, Mexico, Scott Keyes took a tour of the globe with his fiancée last year. Earned 20,000 mileage in 13 states for 136,500 FFMs and $20 per ticket in tax and fee. In August 2015, I began billing $2/month for the Premier Schedule and wasn't even sure if I would reach the 30 attendees needed to pay my expenses.

Scott's Cheaplights is currently available to travellers looking for travel from the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and all European countries. "We' d like to be able to someday ship a deal to a person who leaves somewhere in the world," says Keyes. In Athens, Greece, Scott Keyes on a voyage around the globe with his fiancée last year.

Earned 20,000 mileage in 13 states for 136,500 FFMs and $20 per trip in tax and fee. It is Keyes' intention to turn more travelers into pleasure. The distance work from the street, from cafes or from his home in Fort Collins, Colorado, gives Keyes the possibility to profit from his own search.

Keyes covered 81,866 mileage in 2016 alone. Keyes from the Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex in Kiev, Ukraine, observes a football match of the Europa League. Keyes knew he had made a bargain when he made a $130 return ticket to Italy, but didn't think it was the start of a new carreer.
