WorkInMyRoom.com was featured in the Times today as an example of a successful teenage entrapreneur (see http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/28/jobs/28teens.html ). Laura Durst created www.WorkInMyRoom.com in November 2007 and her web-based business was featured at the Cafe in the January of 2008….so I guess this means that the Cafe scooped the Times
.
WorkInMyRoom.com changed the Cafe forever when it designed our precious “YOU MORON” cups.

Laura graduated from the Academy in June 2008 and continues to manage WorkInMyRoom.com while away at college.
a quote from the Times article:
“Laura Durst, 18, a recent high school graduate in Woodstock, Conn., in the state’s northeast corner, said that there were so few jobs for teenagers there that two years ago she began setting up a Web-based business, WorkInMyRoom.com. It provides teenagers with information and online resources to find jobs that can be done from home.
Ms. Durst said she was inspired by her mother, who also is an entrepreneur. “Seeing her work from home, where she could be her own boss, I liked the idea of that,” she said.
Ms. Durst’s revenue comes from advertising. She uses Google Ad Sense — which displays relevant Google ads on her site — and earns money when users click on them. She says she is making about $250 a month.”
Yikes! She makes more $ than the Cafe
