17-year old girl makes up to $70,000 a month with MySpace site
This girl runs a MySpace layout and graphics site called Whateverlife. I never heard about this site before but she seems to be doing amazingly well, according to the article the three-year old site receives 7 million unique visitors and 60 million page views a month and this earns her up to $70,000 a month. Most of this revenue seems to come through Google AdSense and ValueClick.
At 17 going on 37 (at least), Ashley is very much an Internet professional. In the less than two years since Whateverlife took off, she has dropped out of high school, bought a house, helped launch artists such as Lily Allen, and rejected offers to buy her young company. Although Ashley was flattered to be offered $1.5 million and a car of her choice–as long as the price tag wasn’t more than $100,000–she responded, in effect, Whatever. “I don’t even have my license yet,” she says.
Ashley is evidence of the meritocracy on the Internet that allows even companies run by neophyte entrepreneurs to compete, regardless of funding, location, size, or experience–and she’s a reminder that ingenuity is ageless. She has taken in more than $1 million, thanks to a now-familiar Web-friendly business model. Her MySpace page layouts are available for the bargain price of…nothing. They’re free for the taking. Her only significant source of revenue so far is advertising.

She's a prime example of someone banking from a myspace site, however; I know of a few myspace webmasters that are generating $25,000 a day.

In my eyes if someone is making money simply through someone else's decent side idea, they are not a unique webmaster. Just my thoughts.

Pretty much a cheap way to make money. It takes no skill to make those myspace sites, they're all the same. I bet she did a lot of spamming on myspace to get people to visit.
Good luck to her anyway.

I heard that she got a pretty big amount of money off her brother (hes already a 'success') to get her started to pay for ads, hosting etc.
I think that's her anyway.
And am I the only one who thinks that website sucks?
