Title: 17 year old millionair - Created a myspace profile website
Post by: :) on November 02, 2007, 01:57:49 PM

Her numbers are indeed impressive. 17 years old high school dropout. Made more than $1 million. Earns as much as $70K a month. Owns a website that attracts more than 7 million monthly visitors and 60 million page views.

Her first Adsense paycheck was $2,790 and she has already rejected a $1.5 million buyout offer. I’m referring to Ashley Qualls, the founder of Whateverlife.com, a free MySpace layouts website.

Fastcompany recently published a fascinating feature article on Ashley, a teenage entrepreneur from Detroit who has made a substantial amount of money online by targeting a niche market (girls on Myspace/social networks) and fulfilling their needs.

Wow o.o I mean, she's very clever. She found a niche market and used it to get rich. Why can't I have such great ideas? x_x Someday I'll get rich, too! xD

Let's just drop out school altogether and do that!

That's quite an achievement.

I bet she was one of those girls who did nothing but sit around myspace,,checking out people's profiles.

This sort of thing is really discouraging to people who go to college -.-
