An article I had written on “my story” of the start of my website, making my money, and how my success began, had been published on BloggerStories.com on August 10, 2006. Just a few months after my site had just begun, with it’s launch in February that same year! So my story here is all about my “career” in it’s extremely early stages…kind of interesting to see how it’s changed…

I was recently interviewed by Lynn Welch, a journalist from the Madison newspaper, The Capital Times, about my website and how I’m earning money at such a young age with it. It was really cool, because when I went for the interview, I got a tour of the main office for The Capital Times and got to see how everything in the newspaper business works. It was really interesting. And of course a lot of fun being in the newspaper itself!
Me and my dad, Stephan Spencer, were interviewed on the 25th by Toby Bloomburg of Diva Marketing, an internet-radio talk-show host on BlogTalkRadio.com. The show was a half hour long, and we talked about tips and tricks on SEO, Adsense, and blogging, including the story of my website and how i make my money. It was great! You can listen to it below:
On July 28, I got the chance to speak at BlogHer ’07 in Chicago, on a panel called “Professional Blogging: Ways and Means”, on which I spoke about my website, SEO and how I make my money, along with 3 other women who also make money through blogging. It was my very first conference, and it was a great turn-out; the room was so packed that people were standing up in the back and sitting on the floor! All adults. I was the youngest speaker there, let alone at the whole conference! I had acquired the name “the 16-year-old blogger” LOL.
After my session, I even had the opportunity of being interviewed by Business Week Magazine! But unfortunately, it didn’t turn into a published article. But whatever the case, it was still Business Week!
I put this together in imovie, using the clips from the session and screen shots of my successes, such as receipts of my monthly payments from Google Adsense, blogs about me, etc.
I’m Chloe Spencer, 16 years old, blogger and maker of NeopetsFanatic.com, which was my first site. This is obviously going to be my second. This weekend I was up at Chicago speaking at the BlogHer ’07 conference, which was fanatastic. While I was there, almost everybody I met had their own personal blogs, where they’d write about themselves, and anything else they wanted. It really inspired me, so I created my own personal blog. So, here I am, with ChloeSpencer.com!
