Attract More Leads Being an INFOpreneur

We’ve all heard of  then  of course  newest iteration is  though the word was originally registered as a trademark (USPTO) on February 1 1984 by Harold F. Weitzen. In 1988, H. Skip Weitzen published “Infopreneurs: Turning Data Into Dollars” (John Wiley & Sons).”

As defined by Wikipedia, an” Infopreneur is a person whose primary business is gathering and selling electronic information. This term is a neologism portmanteau derived from the words “information” and “entrepreneur”.

An infopreneur is generally considered an “entrepreneur who makes money selling information on the Internet. They use existing data and target an audience.”

Truancy has resulted in a billion-dollar tax headache for the U.S. Federal Government, according to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, the office that is mandated with keeping an eye on the operations of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The Administration’s investigators found that approximately 2.1 million taxpayers may have received $3.2 billion in American Opportunity Tax Credit claims erroneously between January 1, 2010, and May 28, 2010.

The American Opportunity Tax Credit was created in 2009 to assist students in meeting the cost of college.
