Background
Carl Ocab is currently a 14-year old boy that was born in the Philippines. He started going online at an early age of 10, playing videos games, chatting, networking, and anything that an average kid would want to do. Well, Carl got past that when he turned 12 and this was when he decided to go into internet business. He decided to create MFA (Made For Adsense) sites to earn some money, but eventually stopped due to schooling and not earning enough.
On Febuary 4, 2007, Carl decided to give internet business another try, resulting in Carlocab.com. Although he created this blog, he didn’t get into it until Summer 2007, where he tried many techniques to get the blog going. Starting from a tech blog to a gossip news blog, he finally decided to go with the niche, “Make Money Online with a 13-year old.”
What is CarlOcab.com now?
Carl’s dot com blog have become so successfully after its launch less than a year ago. His blog has so much success that he is #1 on google for the phrase “Make Money Online.” He is probably the ONLY 14-year old blogger out there with huge success in making money online. Month after month, Carl’s advertisement spots are sold out, which brings him an average revenue of a least $800/month. Check out his advertising spots that are still available and make sure you purchase it before it’s sold out. With a least $800/month spending money, kids around Carl’s age can only dream about the possibilities.
The dot com blog provides bloggers with tips and strategies on how to make money online. Of course with an average of 
subscribers, you can tell that the viewers enjoy the tips he posts about. How does he have time to do all of these posts? Well, Carl’s only 14-years of age, so he is still studying for school. He accepts contributer posts that he publishes. The contributers receive permanent links to their blog including an ad in the post itself.
Here’s a post that is done by one of his contributers and this is a post published by Carl himself.
As you can tell, Carl does use contributers to write a professionally done post, but this is mainly due to Carl’s schedule, which mostly consists of schooling and studying. Although the blog is mainly consisted of contributers posts, Carl’s posts are professionally done too. It might not seem like he’s writing it, but it is proven that he is the man behind the 13-year old dot com blog.
Besides all the commotion of what content he brings to his dot com, Carl has written an eBook on how he started making money online. I was able to take a look at the eBook after subscribing to his site. The eBook discusses many various ways on how to make money online including Freelance Work, Selling Emails, Affiliate Marketing, etc. If you’re reading this and you’re a blogger interested in making money, I highly suggest subscribing to his site for this eBook (I’ve also included it below).
Inspiration
You know…I don’t even have to type this section here because you can clearly see what the inspirational message is, but…………..I’m going to continue this and review why I reviewed Carl Ocab. At the age of 14, bringing in a revenue of around $800-1000+, why wouldn’t you want to be like him? I can probably say that people probably think that because of his age, he receives more attention, but that has been proven wrong. His tips and strategies help all of us make money online. There are many that still have doubts that Carl is actually the man behind the blog, but just take a look at it and prove yourself wrong.

Interesting. Carl seems to have a handle on his craft, even the part about knowing enough to invite contributers to take up the slack.
If age isn’t a factor in being able to write quality posts and make money online, then maybe someone with a little gray in their beard could make a run at it?
Woohoo! Inspiration… 8^D

Yea…smart comes in little packages now. Not to criticize his age because he probably gets a lot of that already, but he lives a dream
I was reading about this guy a little white ago and it’s great to see some young people doing well in the online world. There’s quite a bit of money to be made out there and, if you can make a name for yourself, people are more than happy to share
It will be interesting to see if he serves as inspiration to other young go-getters in the near future.
I can be the first one to say that Carl will definitely serve as an inspiration to the future young bloggers. Just think about how jealous his friends are. They’re bound to create a blog in the near future…and some probably already have.

Yea, I’ve taken a look at his page and I was also amazed at his work. Now he hasn’t achieved what Carl did, but at 13, it is still good.
