Her quest for success on the internet

A seventeen year old girl is making millions from her website. This is about her quest for success.

Already she's made 1 million dollars and shes still making it. Recently she refused a 1.5 million dollar buyout. Her site is whateverlife.com she specializes in layout and graphic design for myspace pages. An ingenious idea that has made her quite the success. Currently she make something like $70k a month and 60% of that is from Google Adsense. She now makes so much money that there was no need for traditional education so she dropped out of high school and focused on her site. A good strategy for improving the quality of her site.


Above is a snapshot of her homepage

Why so many blogs fail!


One thing I have noticed is how many blogs fail, these are my thoughts as to why they fail:

  1. Laziness; people are lazy and won't do something unless there is benefit for them. They might start a blog and say, "hey this is easy I can be successful in no time." But after a few days or weeks the novelty wears off for them and it ain't worth it. Most successful bloggers have been in the business for many years, and they enjoy blogging. Success takes time.
  2. Not enough personality, each blog needs it's own personality right now I am trying to establish one for this blog. If you notice on successful blogs articles are written in a certain way. I usually like to have a YouTube video along with an article on my blog and some people draw pictures to sideline a post.
  3. Lack of Ideas or Imagination, is a problem it's hard to always have something to write about. Maybe some days you lack the spark others you have all the ideas and not enough time. So write them down, have a notebook accessible to you to write about blog ideas wherever you are. For example I always get ideas before sleep, it just happens I don't know why.
  4. Doubting oneself. Many people doubt their blogging abilities, they think that they can't write well enough or they don't have good ideas. Well most people do, but they don't realize it. Most blogging applications have spell check don't worry about spelling and grammar isn't too important, it's the idea that counts. Check other blog compare ideas make sure you have good ones.
