About the Winner

Britt Taylor is 36 years old, married with 3 kids, and prior to December of 2006, was working a 9-5 job just like everyone else. Today Britt Taylor is living proof that any average Joe can create a website and succeed.

Following a passion, he decided to sell swords and movie collectibles and created ReplicaDungeon.com in November of 2006. He invested several thousand dollars into an ecommerce store. He threw a few hundred dollars at Google Adwords during the holiday that year, and he was off to the races.

By August of 2007, Taylor was able to gracefully quit his day job and dedicate all his attention to his ecommerce business. Today the site averages $30,000 of monthly revenue and he's happy as can be.

Taylor admits, "If someone had asked me if I thought I could build a website that makes me over $15,000 in pure profit each month, I would have laughed. But now the dream is a reality."
