13 Year Old Boy Blogging About Making Money???
Written by George Manty · May 10, 2007
Wow, I just came across this blog (via pinoyblogosphere) by a thirteen year old boy named Carl Ocab. Carl is blogging about making money online!
It will be interesting to see how his blog does…
What do you think of his blog?
I’ve been going to his blog for a while the only problem is some of his stuff is a little off kilter and I can’t take it 100% realistically. Its just hard to take tips from a 13 year old :
His blog is incredible for someone his age. He is a voluble author with creative and focused content. When I was his age, I was starting to dabble with an early standard of HTML (nowhere near as sophisticated as it is now). I couldn’t have generated content like that when I was 13.
I always talk about bubbles and I’m noticing a bubble in the ‘make money blogging’ or ‘blog about blogging’ market. There is certainly a barrier to entry and I wonder how long it will be before we reach a saturation point (i.e., when there are so many established blogs in this genre that it is hard to get noticed and impossible to move up in search engine rankings).
I was surprised by his writing abilities. Good points. Yaro, echoed that in the interview I did with him:
“It’s smarter to go for other areas where there isn’t as much competition unless of course you truly are great at making money online already and are prepared to share your secrets.”
I think there much better niches to go into these days. I started in this niche back in 2005 and it is really exploded since then.
Amanda,
Your comment was caught again by akismet. Interesting that you have been visiting his blog a while. I would find hard to take advice from a thirteen year old also, especially if he isn’t making millions…
