Invest in Breasts
Started by Jason Grunstra in 2005, MyFreeImplants aims to be an alternative to traditional cosmetic surgery financing methods. Models participate on the website with the main goal of raising money to fund a breast augmentation procedure through online donations. The idea: Set up a Web site to raise money for women who want breast implants. The women pose for photographs on the site, and so-called benefactors pay for the right to look — and to “interact,” via email and blog posts.
Just two years later, the site claims over 10,000 benefactors and one thousand women competing for their attention and their dollars. Over 28 women have already made their goal and are featured prominently on the site in before and after photos.
Benefactors create profiles and buy message credits at $1.25 a pop, which allows them to send messages to women they see on the site. A dollar goes toward the women’s goal; 25 cents goes to Grunstra and the site. Grunstra says the site has more than 5 million page-views a month, brings in $1,000 a day, and generates a monthly profit of about $3,000.
