14 year old affiliate marketer

by Andrew

Shawn Collins interviewed a 14 year old internet marketer on his webmasterradio.fm show. The interview starts about 30% of the way through.

Amusingly, when asked how he was doing he replied “I’m actually at lunch, in school.” You can check out his blog at CPAShare.com.

  1. I set up my company when I was 14, and made over $5000 from AzoogleAds in one month when I was 14 also. I bet it’s quite common.

  2. I started devving websites/graphics at about 12, went pro when I was 14/15. It’s great to start young :).

  4. I remember doing porn affiliates when I was a freshman in high school, that’s pretty much all that was out back then. W/no spam laws you could make some serious money ;)

    Congrats Harrison and goodluck in the industry.

  5. One of the things I truly love about the Internet - age is absolutely no barrier. Fantastic.

  6. I applaud this gentleman’s entrepreneurial spirit at a young age and hope he keeps showing what youthful determination can do, but it’s a pity that schoolwork doesn’t play a more prominent role in his daily routine. It’s certainly not ‘cool’ to focus on school and there are natural born geniuses like Bill Gates that are exceptions to the rule, but the affiliate dollars he’s making now are no substitute for an education if he ever wants to be taken seriously at much more than affiliate marketing. The spelling in the post (while better than some bloggers much older) is evidence of where some polish is required…

  7. I know a handful of very wealthy people whose spelling skills are somewhat better than a 5th graders. Unfortunately most schoolwork falls under the category of busy work making it more of a destructive force than a constructive one.
