Here is a link to an article about Ashley Qualls and her popular myspace goodie site http://www.whateverlife.com

And a story about how she took $8.00 from her mom and turned it into over $1,000,000

http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/118/girl-power.html

I can honestly say I'm rather supprised. First of all, 17 year olds don't normally make that much money in less than two years... I don't think my parents make that much in two years... I'll have to ask. There is sooooooo much spam ads on her site... it takes forever to load, but let me tell you, she has LOADS of content. If you can't find something on her site to put on your myspace, than your either A.) a VERY small minority, b.) Picky, or C.) Like me and you got sick of putting up with spam.

I have seen some of her graphics, she has SO many... They are truly amazing.

I hope my website http://riot.trap17.com will measure up someday laugh.gif

Woah, she truly is an insipration.

I wish I could create a site like this. Infact, that's what I'm going to do *thinks of an idea*

So they basically make myspace webpages? That really clever, myspace is constantly growing by the second. More and more people want to ahve their own myspace. They also want theirs to be the best. I know the people I meet would have almost contest like situations where they want to see who has the best designed . Also most friends, and most veiws and all that.

Hmmmmm Forbez, me thinks you have something!

I could hold "Best Myspace" contests on my website! Hahaha I'm genius!

Also, if you have an idea of what I should add to my site, feel free to fill me in!

The problem with Ashley's site is, infact, it has too many graphics and takes a longggggg time to load on a slower internet connection. . . I have DSL and it takes like 5 minutes to load completely without freezing the browser window. . . she needs to take some of those graphics off, or she will end up losing business and visitors.

Otherwise, I don't think that girl has much of a social life, but hell, the girl made one-million dollars off of that site and I guess that makes up for it. . .

Ok so when I first heard about ashley qualls it just amazed me,I mean how can a girl at 17 years of age could have earned a miilion dollars with a little website.I think the myspace layouts helped that girl,but this is really amazing.
I too one day would want to earn a million dollar like ashley,but thats difficult,but there's no problem in trying it.Who knows I might one day become a millionaire.
But I also think the efforts of google are great,they provide adsense and if this service is used correctly,then there's no problem in earning money,although it may be not as high as $1,000,000.

yes I too think the are lot of graphics there and I am too having a slow net connection,mine is actually dialup connection.If I make my site then there would be surely less graphics there as I don't want the slow internet users to get distracted from my site.

Wow, her website is extremely laggy dry.gif

But the content is there, I wish I wish I could make a content site like download or digg

I need a catchy phrase

Can you gnarfard this?
What the gnarfard?

--

What I see now is that resource-applying sites like her myspace layouts are what bring the visitors in and back to your site

Dropped out of high school, made a website at 17 with loads of content, rejected an offer close to 1.5million or more and a car of her choice can't get any better for her.

And the scary part is that the growth is there, but its limitless she could become an internet tycoon! Let's follow in her footsteps..
