Teenage Success Stories
A couple of quick stories I picked up on today in the UK newspapers that illustrate the 'potential with blogging' I mentioned yesterday. Both are about teenage girls who have managed to attract a lot of attention - and, before you ask, there's nothing 'dodgy' going on! Firstly there is Jaydee Stone from London who started an online video diary and she's now amassed nearly 3 million hits. Her most popular video has had 1,123,800 when I checked it earlier.Okay, it's all kids stuff you might think but supposing the site had been monetised. The mind boggles!  The second girl I'll mention is 19 year old Rebecca Strachan. I've written more about her here on my celebrity blog where there is also a video of her singing.Her story is that she's caught on in a big way in South Korea - even though she's from Basingstoke, UK and has never been to Korea. She's made some music videos that the Korean's love, so much so that a South Korean network site are paying for her to travel to Seoul and to do a gig there. All these two stories do is illustrate the enormous possible worldwide potential of blogging - and the power of videos. The right something or other that catches on, or is promoted properly, and the money might just pour in. Perhaps vlogs are the way to go - food for thought. Good luck, Mike.

this just makes me sadder
I love to hear these stories of young entrepreneurs using their imagination and being successful.
With new technology it has opened doors for the young, elderly and disabled.
