   Bristol Palin is launching a career in TV based on her stint on Dancing With the Stars, says report

Some people hate her and others love her so much they brought her all the way to the Dancing With the Stars semi-finals. Not only has Bristol Palin made a lot of money with her stint on the show, but she’ll also be using it to launch a career in television.

Sources have recently told PopEater that, even though she didn’t win the mirrored trophy for the latest season of the show, Palin is still in a position to milk her involvement in it for all it’s worth.

She’s determined to launch herself in television using the attention and media she generated for DWTS, which means that, even if she’s disliked by many, she still sells better than hot cakes.

“Bristol made over $345,000 from being on the show and currently is getting $35,000 for each speaking gig she does,” a source close to the budding reality star reveals for PopEater.

Even if that’s a lot of money, it’s still small change when compared to the amounts she stands to make from her upcoming gigs, the same spy details.

“Yet, all that is going to feel like pocket change if one or two of the big deals she’s currently working on actually happens,” the insider states.

“Palin family friends tell me there is a major deal in the works for Bristol to be the spokesperson for a middle American fashion brand, as well as a book deal and a multi-million offer to appear on another reality show,” PopSugar has also learned.

So, indeed, if any of this is accurate, Bristol stands to make a lot of money – and, at the same time, build a solid and lucrative career in showbiz / television.

“None of this should come as a surprise. This year’s Dancing was up over 23 percent thanks to Bristol. Love her or hate her, you just can’t turn away. This is what makes her so valuable. Now is her time to make a lot of money and she knows it,” the same spy goes on to say.
