Youthful Entrepreneur
Ashley Qualls was born on June 4, 1990, in Lincoln Park, Michigan. At the tender age of 14, she established her website, whateverlife.com, with an initial investment of just $8.
Website Success
Qualls' website quickly gained popularity, surpassing the readership of teenage magazines like "Seventeen," "Teen Vogue," and "CosmoGirl!" combined. It generated $2,700 in advertising revenue, which later grew to $10,000 per month. Today, her annual income exceeds $1 million.
Adolescence and Support
Growing up, Qualls honed her graphic design skills and began offering free profile designs on the social networking platform MySpace. She also provided HTML tutorials to help other teenagers navigate the digital world. Her mother, Linda, and her school friends played a pivotal role in promoting her website.
Professional Decisions
Despite lucrative offers to sell her company, including a $1.5 million deal and the option to choose any car in exchange for her website, Qualls remained steadfast in her decision to retain ownership.
Lifestyle
In September 2006, Qualls purchased a $250,000 home in Southgate, Michigan, where she resided with her mother and younger sister, Shelby.
