    Hey, how cool is this kid?

    Apparently he was interviewed by the BBC. He's an internet marketing and niche marketing genius and just turned 13 ...

    http://www.squidoo.com/david-wilkinson-marketing-guru

    I wonder if he does affiliate marketing or not? The article could have said more about which affiliate programs he uses, his marketing techniques and strategies, etc.

    He must have some sort of killer internet marketing system to be raking in the loot at that age :)

    Those kids grew up with the internet, and some of them will be the next generation internet tycoons.

    Hey, your link (which I think you also put your affiliate link to that squidoo page) is stupid. Take a look at this link:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/manchester/content/articles/2006/12/14/child_blogger_feature.shtml

    Who said he makes real money online? He is just a blogger and a blog can't make real money except you have a very popular blog like johnchow or shoemoney. Even johncow.com which I think is quite popular only make around $2,500 last month. Well, everything can be changed if you sell "reviews" a.k.a "links" (through ReviewMe or other services). But selling links are different with affiliate marketing.

    And hey, his blog has less traffic than my e-commerce site:

    http://www.techzi.net

    *P.S.: his pr is 4, not 5. And I predict his PR will become even worse in the future, read what he says:

    *He is not a genius, just a blogger kid. There are lots of potential kids who made money online recently, but only few of them make REAL money online. I have just read his interview with Darren Rose and it seems a few months ago he only made $500 per month. yes, a very potential boy but not genius. And he called himself a "super affiliate"? C'mon, if he is a super affiliate with earning less than $2,000, i think i'm a ultra-super affiliate. He created an ebook because he wants to make more money. Since a long time ago, I always believe that most ebook sellers are people who fail or at least not success yet (like this kid). Don't be naive, if you make money with some secret methods, why you sell that secret for cheap to someone else? To help others? Of course not. If you want to help others, go spend your money for charity.

    Yeah I think his father is behind all the work he's just makes it look like his kid did everything.

    I am 13 too and thats why I believe that he's father is not behind this. I don't call myself genius even though I made much more than him and never started an ebook to make money. I think people that say he's father is behind this are only jealous and they shouldn't be :) BTW there are many more kids that I know already making money online so don't be impressed by hearing that a 13-year old is making 2000$.

    his father probably is not behind this but he made very little amount of money, why that crap radio station BBC interviewed him? And enter.net, why did you post here, to share tips from a "13 yr old genius (oh sorry you don't want to be called genius) internet marketer"? OR to impress people? Oh anyway, who says this kid is making $2000? He only makes $500 per month. Poor beggar.

    Can you tell me who are those kids or you are just bubbling? I would like to know who they are so i can increase my knowledge.

    my son is 6, and I have helped his website earn some coin, and he certainly enjoys seeing checks come with his name on it... it is a great way to get kids inspired about making money!

    If your logos were half decent you would be charging more than $5, so by saying 'professional' in your signature you are blatantly lying. I am anything but jealous of you earning $5 per (probably crap) logo.

    $5 per (probably jealous) logo. Make 50 logos per 5$ a day and you have 500$/day = 15.000$/month. At 23 I'll be a millionaire! and you the old jealous...
