Teenager makes $5000/month from Google Ads

You are here: Home / Blog / Teenager makes $5000/month from Google Ads

Like to make $5000 from your own house next month? Like to make that money as a teenager? That’s just what 19-year-old John Gales did. John created his own blog, Mobiletracker.net, where he posted reviews of cellphones for customers to read before purchasing. His blog grew to attract around 200,000 viewers a month. This is just where it starts! With such a large viewership, Google took notice. The search engine company offered John a contract to post ads in his blog. Now, Google sends John a check for $5000 every month solely due to the advertising. What a micro business!

From a parent

Thank you for your e-book on teen micro businesses. Your valuable experience and wealth of knowledge is vast.

Your presentations at Cincinnati homeschool conferences and sharing with us over the years have benefited us well.

I can hardly believe we are at this point in our life-and here he is a young man ready to try his fortune with the world.
