A nicely designed and pretty appealing pink color website called WhateverLife.com is owned by 17 year old girl “Ashley Qualls”. It is a site that offers MySpace layouts, graphics, and most impressive magazine for teens making million-dollar business. With over 60 million page views and 7 million monthly visitors, she makes over 70 thousand dollars a month with advertising affiliate programs such as Google’s AdSense. The most impressive part of Ashley’s Million-Dollar Business is the only significant source of revenue so far is advertising on Web.

Ashley started WhateverLife.com as a hobby when she was 14 years old, with just about 8 dollars borrowed from her mother. Today after three years she could manage to drop out school make over $1 million a year, offering a lifestyle to her family member that was never known earlier. Recently the teen CEO of WhateverLife.com got 4-bedroom house and built herself a home-office in the basement. Ashley found herself interested in graphic website designing and soon after that she grabbed the online social network craze. As and when the demand increased, the supply was simultaneously increased from Ashley’s website. Till date, she has offered the designs, which are cheery, colorful and unique with lots of hearts – Ashley’s favorites.

At the age of 17 Ashley is very much an Internet Professional who even allows companies run by tenderfoot entrepreneurs to battle, in spite of of funding, place, size, or experience–and she believes that cleverness is ageless. Her MySpace page layouts are obtainable free of cost, so only major source of her revenue is advertising. It is no doubt that Ashley is different from recent crop of high-profile teen entrepreneurs. She is a person that comes up with a right idea at right time. Teen girls generally, cut and paste the HTML code designed by Ashley in WhateverLife.com in order to achieve a new look. "It is all about giving girls what they desire," Ashley says

During 2005, her site traffic mounted to the extreme, it was then she owned her own dedicated server. Simultaneously, she approached Google AdSense to supplies ads to the site and share revenue. As the site traffic improved, the earnings were improved. Ashley’s first check was for $2,700, next was for $5,000 and third was for $10,000. The hard work done by Ashley is extremely remarkable, and hence she was paid off well. Many might also think that Ashley lost her playful childhood working hard towards her successful business, but yet she does not think so.

Many internet savvy people make money blogging or they may desire to scratch internet marketing to generate profit, but just a 17 year old Ashley used creativity and her hobby to reach success at this age. I believe dedication is what required achieving that you desire in life. Ashley says – “If you concentrate on where your heart is, then you would certainly head in the right direction”. One only need to research the desired market, consult those with more experience, learn the business and be strategic to achieve your goals. I am pretty impressed by the success story of Ashley and I would love to learn from her experience!
