A way to get to Teen Gen Y's? Whatever!

whateverlife_2.jpgThe beauty of the Internet is that you can be a lot older than 17 and host a highly successful site for 17-year-olds. It happens all the time, right?

In this case, however, the author of a hugely popular site for teens really is a teen. Seventeen year-old Ashley Qualls, aka "Ashbo" is the webmaster and CEO of Whateverlife.com, an online site that provides teen girls with free layouts and graphics for the Myspace pages.

Ashley reportedly takes in over $70,000 per Whateverlife_2 month, and her website ranks higher than AmericanIdol.com, CBS.com and Oprah. She’s even quit school because she’s so wildly successful.

I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t read it in FastCompany.  Hmm, maybe I can get my kids earning some college scratch…
