Hey people

[Lemonade]

Who I Am
I'm 17 and I'm from Georgia. Going to be a senior next year and for the past few years I've been into making money online. I started with those dinky Treasure Trooper sites and such, and slowly moved up in the food chain. I've played a lot of video games online and have made maybe $200 from selling accounts online. Every thing I do I always try to find a way to squeeze the juice out of it... and make lemonade. When I realized this I started to make my own sites, which all have been abandoned now. I recently opened up a new forum a month ago and it seems to be growing substantially faster than my previous ones, which has given me new ideas to branch out further.

What I've done and been Interested in trying
The first site I opened was back in January, and it was a forum for music. I spent two months setting up the theme and getting content and a few moderators, but I never got a good PR so I didn't get over a thousand posts.. I gave up too early. I then moved on to make two blogs. One was a spin off of mylifeisaverage and one was a spin off of unrelatedcaptions. The spin off of MLIA was pretty much a complete fail, and only had a few hundred page views per day. My spin off of unrelatedcaptions was named RelatedCaptions and I think it had potential but I didn't have time for it with school and all.

As I said earlier I've made a new forum and it's based off of a popular MMO, but forums profits and only go so high and that is why I've grown an interest in starting something bigger: a GPT (get paid to) site. That's right, back to the first thing I did for money, a freebie site, but this time as the owner. This is what has brought me to YE.com, trying bigger has made me want to find a community of fellow entrepreneurs that could share their stories and suggestions. Looking forward to meeting everybody.

Hey Lemonade,
Just wanted to say welcome to the young entrepreneur forums, its sounds like you have some great ideas in the works!

We're the same age, although I'm in a totally different type of business (I build web based applications)

Wow cool, web apps as in what?

Yeah, I was choosing a username and I looked over and saw a ton of cans of lemonade on my desk. Minute Main Light lemonade if you care to know. Amazing stuff.

haha, creative way to come up with a name, and web apps as in web based applications built on the amazing ruby! (rubyonrails) My new startup company also build mobile applications and social app's (the nerdy flash type games you would love) - at the moment we're working on a small email app for startups and small company's to send out emails better!! (some pretty boring stuff I know)
