Entrepreneurship is great because there are no limits.

Ashley Qualls, just 17, has built one of the top websites in the world, attracting over 7 million unique visitors each month. That’s better than CBS.com, Britannica.com, and AmericanIdol.com!

Even better, she’s already earning about $100,000 per month!

In a classic case of providing a useful solution to a problem experienced by millions, Ashley has figured out how to cash-in on the Internet. This month, Ashley’s story was featured in Fast Company. That’s just the beginning of the publicity that she’s sure to get as her trendy site, www.whateverlife.com continues to take flight.

She had the right idea at the right time. Chuck Salter of Fast Company explains what the site is all about, “Eager to customize their MySpace profiles, girls cut and past the HTML code for whateverlife layouts featuring hearts, flowers, celebrities, and so on onto their personal page and–presto– a new look. Think of it as MySpace clothes; some kids change their clothes nearly as frequently. ‘It’s all about giving girls what they want,’ Ashley says.”

Timing, a great idea and a focused marketplace (12 to 19 year old girls with an estimated buying power of $87 billion) layed the foundation for this site to succeed. Add in the necessary ingredients of a well designed and tightly packaged website with a smart, determined young entrepreneur, and voila! another great company is born.
