Wow. I'm 15 too, and if anything, that story just depresses me. I keep thinking that could have been me, but confidence is key so I'll keep working and keep my hopes up.

You have plenty of time to reach ur goals... just dont get sucked into doing nothing. Im sure if your kerp going with the track ur on you'll reach your goals before most people even figure out their goals.

Hmm, I'm thinking low xxx,xxx, site doesn't seem to be a huge traffic magnet. Good for him.

That kid is not making piss. I've seen 16 year old girls making $60K a month. Josh is homeless compared to some of these kids. There's no proof he's making anything at all.

Lol hello Bog, ive seen a few of your comments on some posts today, they dont seem to be very possitive.

If you checked his site, his stats and looked around for a bit about him you realise hes quite a cool kid making quite a few bucks.

[BOG]

Fake story. It's just a bunch of jive between Josh and the Retire @ 21 kid site to drive traffic. Can't you guys see that? His feedburner only has 142 subscribers. That's laughable. I'm sure he's making a couple dollars, but he's not getting rich by any means.

Ashley Qualls is 17, makes $60K a month has more traffic than Britannica.com, AmericanIdol.com, FDA .gov, and CBS.com.

She was only offered $1.5 million for her site. You think Josh is going to be offered anything near that amount for a site that does not even show up on the radar?

Think about it. Like I said, I'm sure he's making some money and congrats to him. But he's no where near financial freedom. I pay more in taxes each year than this kid has seen in his entire life.

I agree with BOG. Alot of these, millionaire at 15 stories are bs.

It might be all about wishes but really is "What are you doing currently regarding your success?"

I can't make wishes for what wasn't suppose to happen but rather focus more on what matters now. Regardless of whether you are 13, 15, or 56 you need to make the most of it and I believe this is the place to start, YE. Luck targets no one specific - it just happens. So I think the 15 year old was just super working hard and you are too - just need to be a little bit patient.

Go out there and make a kill - I am too, taking advantage of the internet ; it is just a building block to success.

Great achiever 15 year old, salute....

BOG:

Ashleys website is totaly different, there are 100,000s of websites just like hers, Joshua made a unique website which had very little competition.

The new owners are very well known (Im not sure if i can tell you exactly who, will ask Joshua).

[strategy]

Unique? Josh just did what any smart person would do. He took something successful and copied it.
His idea is almost EXACTLY the same as that of gaiaonline.com and he even uses the same donate monthly schema so each user who donates $2.50 a month receives a 'special' collectible item which would never be released again. I give him credit for successfully mimicking the site - gaiaonline is the biggest forum on the internet making over a million posts daily & 2.5 million unique users a month, and in 2005 reporting over 10 million made annually.

The kids nothing special.
