Developingeyes’ Entrepreneur Of The Week: Carl Ocab
Welcome readers, It’s another Monday and so it’s time for our weekly motivational story of a young entrepreneur. This week’s entrepreneur is only 14 years old and is by far the youngest I have ever come across online (or anywhere for that matter). I just heard about him myself last week, but I am sure most of you trying to make money from blogging must have heard of him before.
This week’s entrepreneur is Carl Ocab of carlocab.com. Carl is a 14 year old BOY from the Philippines. His major claim to fame is ranking number one in google for the keyphrase “make money online”. When I checked it he currently ranks fourth which is still far beyond anything I have accomplished.
Carl is really doing it big and still going to school. He blogs regularly after school and writes with great authority on his topics, much better than many of the make money online blogs run by adults I’ve come across. I think one of the things Carl has going for him is his family’s support. Many of his posts introductory make reference to his father who he says is a marketer himself.
Carl also has a free ebook called the kidblogger’s master plan, that he uses to make money online and replicates any number of times in different niches. Yes people he is 14 years old, and he started at 13. If this doesn’t motivate you to work harder I really think you should call it quits now. Check out Carl’s blog and read his posts he has some solid advice there and I would recommend subscribing to his blog and getting the free ebook.
Well that’s it, if you enjoyed this post please subscribe to my rss feed. Thanks for reading!

As you can see there are many other people that are young who are doing great online.
I hope that list will help you in your future articles.

Yes, I managed to make it onto the list, which I was quite happy about. It has spurred me on to work even harder to get a higher ranking as it is updated in the future. One of the factors which I do not particularly like with these lists are the sheer fact that they are ranked purely on statistical data.
I know some young bloggers out there who can’t really pull those rankings but they write better posts than half the people on that list. What can you do, that’s the way the cookie crumbles I guess…hehehe
Thanks for the mention in your comment. Kind Regards, Fabien
