...that says "People are smart" No, they really aren't. I believe Voltaire said it best when he stated that "common sense is not common." I did note that these myspace pages were sold to TEENAGERS, however to purchase a website a teenager would need access to a credit card. Therefore, there's either a bunch of thieving lil' buggers out there or a lot of stupid parents. Regardless...YIKES!

Using myspace... buying myspace layouts...

double failure

while you jealous douches are making smart-assed remarks. A seventeen year-old girl giving herself a 2,000 per month salary? Cram It!

If you had bothered to read the article, you would have seen that the layouts are FREE. She makes her money from the advertising revenue

She didn't make millions. she made one million...in revenlue!

what did she actually POCKET?!?

I did not bother to read the article, and I would not, but the comment here about Free layouts caught my eye and I think that this information is a bit that should have been included in the 3 introductory lines. I respected the creativity and the business sense of the 1'000'000 $ making people in question just from the headline, and now I do more, even though I have never used Myspace. Good luck.

If TG guys have read the article, they would not have said:
"...that sells customized MySpace pages to teenagers", so you can't blame the other guys for thinking she is selling MySpace pages!

I really like what she has done btw.

Last time i checked i was 16 and made $2000 a month, i believe she makes much more than that if she gets that many hits. and good for her although i can't call what she does talent in any way, like programming or creativity just silliness, still she wouldn't be the first to make millions off of a silly idea.

So you're are one of those people who thinks it is right to exploit people's lack of knowledge and generate revenue from thin air? Think .com bubble...

And you are also one of those people in awe of how some random lucky person gets to win a jackpot, right? You might as well admire people winning at the lottery for their hard work.

I couldn't see anything through all the blinking flash-ads and pop-unders. Mike is correct, failure.

people actually pay for their myspace layouts, I mean I can understand a profession business or band or something but they usually have their own people for that so seriously... wow????

Also never heard of her site before until now lol

Were, in the article, we are told that the layouts are free?

"very successful company that sells customized MySpace"

Huh?????

António.

Its really a shame that this young lady designed a website that is such an eyesore that my monitor burned itself out within 10 seconds of it being on-screen, not to mention my speakers refusing to work after that terrible song played.

cant believe teens are paying for someone to make webpages, i guess college tutition isnt as important lol...

"The layouts Qualls provides are free. But the popularity drives immense traffic to her site making it appealing for advertisers."

1 ° / this is inspired from the original article from fast company...which was more relevant and better writting
2°/ This small myspace website gives away a trojan for free (no one will tell you this)
3°/ This site is just hype, in 6 months from now, others will do the same much better... so What ?

Yes I m french... :-)

Her next frontier is the cellular phone.

Teenagers who want to be different from their friends will soon be able to access Qualls' designs for their phones at a cost of 49 cents to $1.99 each or through a membership at $9.99 a month. The designs will be the same as the designs for MySpace pages and will be available through her Web site but also through a portal that can be accessed by cell phones.

“I know it sounds funny, but they want to be able to have their MySpace page match their cell phone,” Qualls said.

Pimp out your myspace profile! All you need to do to make millions is to take advantage of the stupidity and mindlessness of others. Since most of the population is full of sheep, count on the ability to sell them something they don't need, and laugh your way to the bank.

YAY! My cellphone matchs my myspace page! Next, to get my IQ to match the weight of my brain!

Luckily antivir didnt let it install its garbage. I think this isnt worthy news for thg. Some girl making money out of ugly ways of advertising. Its not that im against ads, i love getting things for free. But dont overdo it on them.

Actually in australia you just need to be able to pay through direct deposit, and contract stands as it is clearly in her best interests to be able to have that transaction.
