At the age of only 14 (just turned 14 two weeks ago), Carl Ocab has matured into a little entrepreneur by making his money online. Like-father-like-son, Carl Ocab followed his dad’s footstep by becoming a web entrepreneur making his income online.

Like every other blog start-ups, most of them will fail within the first year even with young Carl’s blog, CarlOcab.com. Carl originally started his blog to ramble about tech related news but really never succeeded. After a few more failures, Carl finally found his niche and a topic to blog about.

His blog is now blogging about “Making money online with a 13 year old”, a blog that is becoming increasingly popular on the web. CarlOcab.com, is currently ranked on the first page on Google when you use the term “make money online”.

After visiting his blog and reading on some tips, I knew I had to write about him so others will be inspired as I am. I managed to catch up with Carl aka “Kidblogger” to have a quick chat with him online. Note that Carl lives in the Philippines (different time zone), so I had to stay up til 4 in the morning to chat with him.

After the chat, I thought to myself, this kid is 10 years younger than me, and he’s already making good money on the net. Imagine ten years down the road, how successful he’s going to be. Thanks for the inspiration kid!
