15 Year Old Webmaster, moving up the ladder 3 steps at a time...

**Chamillionaire** · 04-17-2008, 03:34 PM

At 15 years old and getting so far, I must say you are a pretty unique and amazing person!

You have a great portfolio of sites and I have visited the LiveTV link actually quite a few times in the past. Little did I know it was run by a 15 year old.

Congratulations on all your success and I hope it will continue in the future mate!

Hey Kink I dunno if you still read this seeing as you posted a while ago but you should really contact me at Matt@starcrafted.org, I just completed the website in my email and it is pretty much the same concept as Creepcolony just obviously a totally different site. I actually knew well of Creepcolony as it is a high search ranking and overall one of the most popular Starcraft sites. I myself hope to be right up there with you very soon. If you read this Id like to discuss possible affiliation, maybe as simple as a quick link exchange, I think that would work out very well. Anyways I dunno if youll see this but oh well, I never would miss an SEO and traffic partnership oppurtunity like this. I read those 5 words and I agree 100%, that has always been my philosophy from day 1. Starcrafted.org is my first website and it was a learning process, and I spent months building and tweaking it before I even tried to get traffic just because I believe a good first impression is worth alot. I say this because I agree with you and live by those standards, I focused my time into this one single site because I understood that that was what is truly important to me, and I won't stop until I achieve my goal. I just want to reiterate it to anyone who might be trying to start their web empire up as well. If you really want it, and are willing to do anything to get it, then do that **** and you will succeed.

Hah.. I played neopets back in the day aswell.

**Plugin-Developer** · 05-05-2008, 12:21 AM

Congratulations on your accomplishments. It is always interesting to see the variety of ways that people are earning their livings online. As an older individual (about to graduate from college) I hope that you're stashing some of that money away for expenses down the road.

Great job on your accomplishments so far.

**Sneakyheathen** · 05-05-2008, 08:34 PM

Wicked job, man. I'm a young webmaster as well, thought not nearly as successful! I like your FOCUS strategy.

**Burningbarricad** · 05-08-2008, 12:54 PM

Hey there, great work

It's been almost a year to the day since you made your first post.

I'd be really interested to hear how you've gotten on in the meantime.

Cheers

**kinkarso** · 05-12-2008, 01:01 AM

Wow, it has been a long time. 7 months since that post. Looking back, I really didn't hold back, did I

?

Well, my portfolio sure did change, and a fair bit happened as well. I'm more into Internet marketing now with the help of my good friend, Justin Brooke (check out his website, http://www.siteflipacademy.com). Very cool stuff.

Anyways, thanks for all the generous comments.

Wow !!
Way to go man. Compared to you, we are all.. umm.. late starters?

I would like to wish you the best of luck for the future

**NaughtyGirl** · 05-12-2008, 12:32 PM

My daughter just wanted me to tell you she loves neopets and they are still cool. ;P

How I Started
Hmm.. let's see. I started getting interested in HTML and the whole Internet thing when I was around 12 years old. Back then, Neopets was 'hip'. Since my dad was a computer scientist (or something), I started asking him a lot of questions about HTML and how the Internet works. The *real reason* behind all those questions I asked was always "I needed NP$!! (neo-points. aka neopets money) without working for it!".

A few weeks later I was one of the richest neopet users out there, and a master at HTML :sorcerer:.
(yes yes yes, I did give back the NP$ to whoever I borrowed them from. jeeze :001_rolleyes:.)

The Journey...
The very first website I built was Christian-Hosting.biz. It isn't up anymore, but here is an old cache version: CHB - 100% Free Ad-Less Christian Hosting. I sold it for my very first $200 a good few months later, and that is exactly what got me started. One thing you should know about me is that I CAN NOT design. Nor can I program. I am tech-disabled, and all I really can do is get other people to do it for me.

I went from just a web developer to a web marketer, and later to become a website broker. There were so many distractions and other things happening, that if I didn't dedicate my self and push myself to focus on my projects, I wouldn't be anywhere close to where I am today.

Where I am Now
Now, 3 years later, I am the proud owner of the Kinkarso.com Network, and own a number of powerful web presences, including...

LiveTV.ws - Watch Hundreds of Free Live Internet TV Channels - LiveTV.ws - Free Live Internet TV
BattleForums.com - Best Forum EVAH! - BattleForums.com
CreepColony.com - Your Source for StarCraft Strategies, Cheats, Bots, Downloads & More! - CreepColony.com
ChristianAvenue.org - Free Christian Support and Advice - ChristianAvenue.org
+ a few more..

I am currently raking in around $50 per day purely off of google adsense, a few hundred dollars from private advertisers per month (I won't get into the details here), and 1.5-2.5 thousand dollars from website brokering and misc services that I provide, each month (examples: The Kinkarso Network - Kinkarso.com)

I am working on a large niche social networking-type website which is currently in production. This is something I have invested most of my income and time on, and will be released early next year.

Moral of the Story...
You know all of those ebooks on how you can make money quick and without any work? THEY LIE :taz:! You will get nowhere if you do not pick something, and focus on it until it is complete. The keyword here is FOCUS. I forgot where I read this but here you go:

Find a project.
Occupy yourself with this project.
Concentrate all your time on this project
Understand that nothing is more important than this project.
Suceed with this project.

There you have it. I hope you enjoyed my little story

.

Thank you,
Donny Ouyang

i am inspired.Thanks

You're about the same age as me, and already making good money? That's great

You must have worked very hard to get where you are now.
Congrats and keep working hard

nice job

**Robert125** · 06-12-2008, 02:46 AM

Well .. I'm close to your age .. But not to your Success

I got into the Whole Internet Business last July " 7/07 "

I started with BUX sites .. and I was losing time.
Then .. I knew one of the most famous Webmaster Forums

and learnt alot from it .. and right now I have a network, but not making alot from them.

But I'm on the line, right now I'm 14

Thx, LeVampire

**mohammad111** · 04-18-2009, 09:55 PM

I started at 14 and now I am 16. Hope I make money before I turn 17.

**rec222** · 04-27-2009, 08:19 PM

very impressive

**MoEzMoney** · 11:25 AM

Only 15?!?!?! Nicely done! I like your sites too! I'm jealous

**Leopard** · 05-03-2009, 04:02 PM

Congratulations, and I am glad to know that I am not the only young person who is a webmaster. I am 14 and I am almost ready to start up my Wordpress theme business, and I have already owned several other websites which have used adsense, but never as many viewers. Good job.
