When Kris Sanchez joined
Twitter in 2009, he didn't expect much to come of it.
"I really started my
Twitter account because I wanted to follow Britney Spears," Sanchez told
Business Insider. "I'm a huge fan."He found he didn't have much to
tweet about in his daily life, so he started sharing random facts he found
while procrastinating on the internet.
He obviously had a knack for
it.
"By 2011, I had decided
to start tweeting 24/7. So that's a fact every 15 minutes," he said.
And thus, UberFacts was born.
In 2012, he hit 200,000
followers, including some big names, like Paris Hilton and Khloe Kardashian.
Not much later, an ad network reached out.
"They helped me see how I
could actually make money off of UberFacts, by building galleries and tweeting
links," Sanchez said. "I was getting checks of $600 or $800 a week,
and I couldn't believe it."
Today, Sanchez's Twitter account has an astounding 9.4
million followers. The Facebook page
has more than 1.27 million likes, and the Instagram
account has more than 468,000 followers.
He makes about $500,000 a year
on UberFacts.
