Like any teenage girl, when Ashley Qualls was 14 she spent countless hours on the Internet. Whether it was cruising MySpace or shopping, Ashley was on the Internet for a majority of her free time. But unlike most teenage girls, Ashley turned her cruising into something productive and eventually very profitable.
She began creating MySpace layouts and themes for pages and created the website Whateverlife.com for others to come and download the code for the pages. It was a HUGE success and Ashley became a very rich business owner in a very short while. Ashley was receiving a quarter of a million hits everyday and she started attracting sponsors offering big money to put their ads on her page. We’re talking millions of dollars in revenue off of something she likes to do in her own free time.
Soon Ashley was employing not only her close friends but even her mother. She purchased her family a new home in a nice community and continues to evolve her business towards new and creative ideas.
Ashley is a great role model for your kids, even though she spent most of her time on the Internet, she was able to produce something positive for her and the people around her. Anyone who can do what they want and evolve it into an idea that makes money is someone worth admiring.
