Jon Waraas Another Young Entrepreneur

Some of you might know Jon Waraas, others may not. He is not a high profile blogger like John Chow, but he is another young entrepreneur like me. Actually he is younger than me! He is 20 years old, but I met him when he was 19. I actually found his blog through John’s. It was not long after that we started talking. I always like meeting new people especially people that have the same interests as me.

When I first started talking to Jon it was if he already knew me. We talked about everything from online advertising to girls. What I found most astounding is the amount of money he was making off of his sites. I don’t know the figures, but you can take a look here and see that he is bringing in some serious cash! Most of his online income comes from LoserAlliance, which is a Myspace Layout / Resource site. The site was actually a photoshop / webmaster tutorial site then Jon added some Myspace stuff and the site took off. It gradually moved more towards a Myspace site.

LoserAlliance is actually not Jon’s first site. His first site was Custom-Rails.com where he built skateboard rails and sold them online. He managed to sell some rails, but wasn’t making a lot of money. To avoid having to keep on working at his local Home Depot he started his other sites. John has an entire network of sites under the Developer Hut Network. Actually a lot of his sites have the word loser in them sort of a branding as he calls it. He has FunnyLoser, BlogLoser, MyspaceLoser, etc.

Just like me Jon does the internet thing full time, which is quite an accomplishment in itself. Another big accomplishment for him was his house, which we have seen from foundation all the way to finish. Not often a 20 year old has a brand new house! Jon is using his money wisely and buying up rental properties and other real estate, something I need to look into!

To be honest I have never met Jon, we have spoken on the phone and talked all the time on the internet, even when he is drunk and doesn’t remember it! He is a great guy and is enjoying life, but he does work very hard and deserves what he has. He knows just as well as I do that you need to put in the work to get the reward! He has helped me a lot with things like SEO and other tricks to make me more money. To see more on Jon check out his blog where he talks about everything from daily life to his real estate interests.
