Ashley Qualls

Ashley Qualls , known by most as “Ashbo”, jumped online as a young teenager and a short while later at 14 started a little site she named Whateverlife basically as a hobby. She started out designing Websites for other teenage girls for free and her income from advertisements started to mushroom as her traffic

continued to increase. She continued plowing ahead and at last check her site is visited by over 200,000 girls each day and she was earning $70,000 a month. And these numbers are probably outdated.

An article in Fast Company last Fall had this blurb about Ashbo’s site:

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.

Check out the CNN video clip about Ashley and her stunning success. I especially liked the part about where she was too young to drive, but she was able to buy herself a house!

Way to go Ashbo!
