Ashley Qualls has carved her niche in the web world with Whateverlife.com being tagged as the best online marketing website. The website features a steady supply of designs for MySpace pages and attracts thousands of eager visitors every day.
Most interestingly, Ashley started out her venture at the age of 17. Once she came into the limelight, offers started pouring in and she became a millionaire overnight. Ashley’s brimming career kick started, when she was asked to incorporate advertisements from ValueClick’s clients. She also had this opportunity of sharing the handsome revenue with ValueClick. Eventually, she finalized the deal and this took her to new heights. Nonetheless, the credit surely goes to her immense knowledge about her website.
Unwinding the story of her life – she started it all by simply dabbling in the web site designs, but later created the designer website in 2004, just at the age of 14. The Whateverlife website just popped in her mind and she felt that the name would suit the best for anyone, irrespective of whatever life the person is leading.
She went through thick and thin of her career right from the beginning. She was sacked from her high school, but she managed to maintain a steady career growth. She launched artists like Lily Allen and at the same time rejected offers to sell her young company. Her phenomenal talents of knowing the nitty gritty of her website and at the same time, serving the millions has fetched her so much popularity.
She has served as an evidence of meritocracy in the web world and this has attracted even the novice entrepreneurs, in spite of location, funding, size and experience. She is a constant reminder to the youth of today that, ingenuity is ageless. Interestingly, the MySpace page layouts supplied by her website are available at zero bargain. Advertising is the only way for earning revenue. You should know that, the website has been ranked by Quantcast at number 349, out of 20 million websites.
She surely lacked the adequate educational certificates, but her ideas raised eyebrows in the corporate world. She is still ruling the web world and is applauded for her outstanding abilities to transform the web designs, into something unique.
