Interesting Part-1, A 17 year old girl is earning $70k /month from internet...

Hi Friends,
As i promised in my first post that I will be posting about some interesting websites. So this is my first attempt and hope you will like it.
This post is about a 17 year old girl who is earning more than $70k per month from her website.


Name - Ashley
Age - 17
Location - Michigan, United States
Website - WhateverLife.com

Her website provides you more than 4000 free layouts for Myspace. These layouts work in: Myspace.com, TeenChill.com, Vampire Freaks, 2BMATES.com. So far she has made more than $1 million from her site at Whateverlife.com. Most of this income comes from Google AdSense. Her first AdSense paycheck was $2,790. She had also rejected a $1.5 million buyout offer.
Whateverlife attracts more than 7 million unique visitors and 60 million page views a month.

She started her website at the age of fourteen. Now, she has bought her own home, added more pets in her life, been to Hawaii, San Francisco, New York, etc. (:P) It all started as a hobby. She began dabbling in Web-site design eight years ago, when she was 9. When she wasn’t playing games, she was teaching herself the basics of Web design.

One thing that struck me when I first visited her site was the unconventional navigation scheme and a good "look and feel" (pink-pink, everywhere pink in her website). I suppose it’s well suited for the statistic its targeting. The design has an added advantage in that the ads look as though they are part of the content, which I am sure improves the page click through rates tremendously.

She has dropped out of high school to concentrate on her online business. If you were in her position would you consider dropping out of school to concentrate on your business?

Good post. I am remembering the word from Winston Churchill that, when there is a will, there is a way. this is the good example for the same.
