One of my seo clients, surprisingly enough, who is only 18 years old read about PPC advertising and affiliate programs. He wouldn't tell me the specifics, but he profited $60,000 in a period of four months, before the advertisers with a bigger budget caught on and pushed him out of adwords and overture. He also mentioned that he spent $40,000 in advertising, which means he was paid $100,000 in affiliate commissions in a four month period. Pretty amazing, no?
Yes it is. Where would a 18 year old get $40K from? My thought is that anyone that talks about money is either not telling the truth or 12 years old.
at 18 he could have easily been in the business for 5 years.. I didn't have 40k when I was 18 but in the same magnitude at least..
