My Success Story

    Hey guys, just wanted to post a little story of mine that I hope can inspire and maybe give some of you the motivation to do better.

    First of I apologize if this is in the wrong section. Wasn't sure where to put it, if need be please do move it into the correct section.

    A little about myself. I am a 19 year old college student. I live in NYC and prices here are very hefty especially when it's just me and my mother living alone. I started my online carreer back when I was only 13 years old. I must have owned hundreds of sites since then, for most part are now down, and/or have failed. I have been dealing with money online for the past 7 years. DP is one of the places I started a while ago and has taught me quiet a lot of stuff.

    So anyways I have failed countless numbers of times, wasted thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars into nothing. Over the years I made mistakes but learned from them. Failed, failed, and failed over and over again. Just to get to the point where I am now. I am not rich, however I am able to make enough money to support myself and help out my mother. Here are my earnings for the past few months:

    December 2009:

    January 2010:

    February 2010:

    March 1st - 5th 2010:
    They only allow 4 images per post. You can view the latest screen shot by clicking here.

    In the middle of February I switched networks that I earn with so you can see the screen shots change. Now I know you all can say they are fake and all that but, what's the point of me faking them. This is just as an insipiration story.

    By the way this is all very part time income, I spend maybe 20 minutes a day tops managing everything. I go to school, have 2 jobs and manage to make it to the gym. I hope you all can reach this point and even beat me at some point in time.

    Good luck to you all!

    I do not think that guy will share you method he used to earn. Maybe he is doing his homewordk now? To be honest, I am really appreciated with his attitude. Never give up. This is very hard for a boy. But my question is that I am really doubt that he is not a boy, but a well-promotive businessmen. He got the idea when he was 13 years old. And tried and tried. Anyway, I wish you have a good luck in your futures. But I will not let my boy go for business before he was 13 years old.

    Well I am 19 now, so I'm not sure if I'm still considered a boy. However I started myself, my parents knew nothing about it. So, thank you for your kind words anyway :)

    Wondering what your model is. Are you building content sites and monetizing them with ad networks?
