About Kyle Waring
Hello everyone, my name is Kyle Waring. I am a young entrepreneur from a small town outside of Boston, Massachusetts. I have been a publisher in the internet marketing industry since 2003, and currently monetize a highly trafficked network of 170 websites. Let’s take a trip down memory lane…shall we?
I have always been passionate about business. When I was in sixth grade I would buy candy at our local convience store and would sell it at school during lunch. I tested out various combinations of candy to see which would be the most profitable- and would sell best. Through a series of testing I found out that Laffy Taffy was preferred. It was too hard to convince people to buy $1.00 candy bar when they only had $2.00 for lunch. Laffy Taffy was great because it was cheap enough (only 25 cents), and also because it tasted great. For 25 cents I would sell 2 pieces of laffy taffy- in a number of delicious flavors. I would purchase each piece of Laffy Taffy for 5 cents a piece, which left me with a profit margin of 15 cents. I then reinvested these retained earnings to buy more candy. After a couple of weeks, I ended up eating all my profit- and enjoyed every moment of it! (except for how sick I got)…
At the time I was just excited about generating some extra money to buy candy. However, when I look back at this experience- I am proud to say that I have had an entrepreneurial mindset since I was 12 years old.
Shortly thereafter I started to design and develop my own websites. At first I was really obsessed about how my website looked. I would change the design on a weekly basis just because I enjoyed redesigning it. I mastered html/css, and extensively learned PHP/MySQL. By the age of 16, I had built an architecture for a custom content management system. This CMS powered my robust network of video websites that was growing at an incredible rate. After redesigning my site several times, exchanging links & traffic, and conducting on-site search engine optimization- my sites had amassed 40,000 unique visitors daily. I was running 2 web servers, and 2 file servers- all while trying to scale.
Just as any 16 year old entreprenur from MA would- I reinvested everything I had. At first I thought I could manage everything on my own (as any young driven entrepreneur would)…but there simply wasn’t enough time during the day.

In 2005 I ended up selling my network of websites for low $xx, xxx and simultaneaously started another network. I then leveraged the knowledge that I had gained to build Campus Break.com- a place for college students to post pictures, videos, and links. At the time I was entering college, and thought it would be a great media website that I could promote around campus.
I had gained enough knowledge of the industry to quickly assemble a site and invested into upgrading my content management system. I also spent a lot of time conducting keyword research, and link building. These were essential parts of building my network, and I owe a lot of credit to keyword research firms (thanks for helping me make money!)
Thinking about that, and how far I’ve come- makes me really appreciate the internet. I am currently 22 years old, awaiting my college graduation, and work as an…
