First time I actually made any money through the web, I was 15. I had a fan site for my favorite NHL team and sold a couple of copies of (I think) NHL '99/2000/whatever it was at the time for Playstation through Amazon's affiliate program. I think I made all of 75 cents but it amazed me that you could build something over the web and have money trickle in like that. In a sense, it still amazes me. I started my first company at 22 back in 2006, building myspacesurveyfun.com into the pre-eminent site for those viral surveys that used to be passed back and forth over MySpace (and still do to a lesser extent on Facebook, blogs etc.) along with a few other related MySpace profile add-on sites. Although I wasn't able to scale it into more than just a profitable sole prop, I made a good chunk of change, learned product development & how to manage a team of freelancers. Plus I was able to leverage it into a full-time SEO gig and now a pretty healthy career in the business. Now I'm 27 and setting the groundwork for something epic. But ultimately, ideas/execution are what win. Age is just a number.
