What do you think? Can you really make serious money on the internet? Do you think an 8 yr old kid can make $22 million on the internet? I don't know if you or I can make any serious money on the internet but this kid has! Believe it or not?
It's the weekly news quiz - have you been paying attention to what's been going on in the world during the past seven days?

Is that the boy that does the toy reviews? I don't know that I believe he's made quite that much, but I imagine he probably gets paid from the toy companies. All I know is he better be saving that money!

He made that much in one year according to the news. I saw one of his reviews on YouTube and it had 24 million views. Believe it or not?

@1hopefulman I suppose with that many reviews, he probably does make quite a bit. I bet he probably has quite a few of his family members sharing the video out and encouraging people to watch the videos. There's probably a lot of kids that watch it as well. I'd be set for life if I made that much in a year.

It seems that his parents are very involved and are behind his success! I happy to see his success.

All I know is that I don´t qualify. I´m too old and I don´t live in the right country.

Earning a lot of money online takes a lot of luck I guess.

Hello! I do think it is possible to make a good amount of money online with effort and dedication. You have to put in the time and work. In the case of the kid, the channel is run by his parents obviously seven-year-olds need help.

I think you can make serious money, you have to find your passion and really go for it, work hard every day, treat it like a business. Never give up..

Yes! It also takes finding a good idea that catches on and gets a lot of followers and views. That family found a great idea! I'm happy for them!

@1hopefulman Yes there seem to be ways to earn - I have met some who earn a lot from network jobs - my network is giving only a little, but I am happy, as it helps me to stay healthier with the food supplements I sell and use, and I have learned to know God, who is the greatest Doctor who can heal everyone in the future paradise - and I`m not planning to go to the Moon yet..

@LadyDuck The parents are working with him in making and participating in the videos. However, as you know, there is no guarantee of what will happens to his money. It will depend on the love and wisdom of the parents.

@1hopefulman He is under age, so someone will manage the money. I hope the kid will get his money when he grows up. Greedy parents and relatives are more than common.

There are those who do, but they are few and far between just like only so many will become the next Bruce Springsteen or the next Michael Chricton, or the next big movie star. It is possible, but it takes a certain something none of us will ever have. Just the reality.

True! However, it is good to see that some succeed! I did a few videos and put them on YouTube and I was so surprised to see one video receive over 30,000 views. One never knows what can happen?

@1hopefulman Yeah. I had one like that, but it is still hovering a little over 20,000 views. Too bad unless you have 1000 subscribers or more they don't pay you anymore.

@Janet357 I have one and one of my videos has over 29 thousand views. I'm not earning any money. I just did it for the fun. I'm retired now and don't want to work anymore. I just like to have a bit of fun when I have time on my hands since I live alone.

Yes, they also make a lot of money from the companies whose toys they feature. I saw one of their videos where they had over 24 million views. That's a lot of views!

Good for him, but you can be sure that the family does a lot as he is way too young to handle all that. And also I hope that the money will be well taken care of.
