17 year old girl makes $70K/month online - GoFuckYourself.com

RayBonga · 08-26-2007, 11:58 AM

Quote:

At 17 going on 37 (at least), Ashley is very much an Internet professional. In the less than two years since Whateverlife took off, she has dropped out of high school, bought a house, helped launch artists such as Lily Allen, and rejected offers to buy her young company. Although Ashley was flattered to be offered $1.5 million and a car of her choice--as long as the price tag wasn't more than $100,000--she responded, in effect, Whatever.

"I don't even have my license yet," she says.

Ashley is evidence of the meritocracy on the Internet that allows even companies run by neophyte entrepreneurs to compete, regardless of funding, location, size, or experience--and she's a reminder that ingenuity is ageless. She has taken in more than $1 million, thanks to a now-familiar Web-friendly business model. Her MySpace page layouts are available for the bargain price of...nothing. They're free for the taking. Her only significant source of revenue so far is advertising.

According to Google Analytics, Whateverlife attracts more than 7 million individuals and 60 million page views a month. That's a larger audience than the circulations of Seventeen, Teen Vogue, and CosmoGirl! magazines combined. Although Web-site rankings vary with the methodology, Quantcast, a popular source among advertisers, ranked Whateverlife.com a staggering No. 349 in mid-July out of more than 20 million sites. Among the sites in its rearview mirror: Britannica.com, AmericanIdol.com, FDA .gov, and CBS.com. And one more, which Ashley can't quite believe herself: "I'm ahead of Oprah!" (Oprah.com: No. 469.)

why does it say going on 37?

polish_aristocrat · 08-26-2007, 12:06 PM

impressive

mattz · 08-26-2007, 12:07 PM

That's pretty damn good, but I dont get why it says 17 going on 37 either

Brad Mitchell · 08-26-2007, 12:07 PM

Just a figure of speech... she is mature is what they are saying.

Ashley is a Detroiter, too

Lol, dropped out of highschool. Without a strong foundation of education to build on, her upside is limited.

She is making 70k/mo, has been offered millions for her company and can go back to school in a few years if she wants to.

DaddyHalbucks · 08-26-2007, 12:12 PM

Very inspiring. I wish her all the best.

She has made more than 90% of people who graduate from college will make in thieir lifetime.

I dont think school should be on her priority list at the moment. Make the money, hire a financial advisor, she is set for life before her friends even start college.

ridikuloz · 08-26-2007, 12:14 PM

let's see how long her site will last....
who knows maybe she'll become a washed up webmaster.

Not so much. She dropped out of high school and is attending college:

More than once, she has returned, just for the day, hanging out in her French teacher's classroom. Ashley wonders if she'll be allowed to participate in graduation. By then, she may have already earned an associate's degree in design, at Henry Ford Community College.

Why bother with high school when you can go straight onto college?

ztik · 08-26-2007, 01:59 PM

I dropped out of high school because I was making $150,000 - $200,000 a month. The good old days

BlackCrayon · 08-26-2007, 02:09 PM

and yeah, thats great for her but she shouldn't wait too long to sell because myspace isn't going to what it is forever.

Sosa · 08-26-2007, 02:26 PM

4Pics · 08-26-2007, 02:30 PM

Her dad probably pimps her out anyways, and spends her cash.

oh and that pic is hilarious ...

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 08-26-2007, 04:19 PM

Yeah...
Sure.

She made blog templates/designs and integrated advertisements into it from Myspace.

And Now pulls 70K a month.

Uuhh huh...

Who is her dad?
Yeah...

Another top exec who pushed some favors around is all. Any other Template Blog Designer would have been destroyed at the outset of placing ad's into the templates that people use.
