What a great idea … teaching our kids how to market on the Internet at a very early age. I don’t know about you, but I’ve really struggled with this net marketing stuff and have often wished that I had learned it at a very early age.
In another blog entry, I mentioned the story of Sarah and Josh Taylor, whose daddy is teaching them how to make money on eBay at ages 11 and 8:

Marketer Alice Seba has a picture of her three year old son Malcolm, who she calls the “next-mozart-of-internet-marketing”:

I know Ken Evoy’s daughter, Yuki, makes money with her website, as well. And let’s not forget to mention that my partner is my son, Jeremy, and my daughter Jessica works part time for our company.
Let’s hope that other parents follow in these footsteps. Whether the kids ultimately choose the Internet as their career really isn’t the issue. The important part is that these kids have a skill and understanding they can use at any time they wish. What a priceless gift!
