Trust me, I believe him… From the writing style you can tell. And you’re not giving us 12-year olds enough credit. An article I wrote made it to the Digg frontpage yesterday, and lots of Diggers refused to believe my age, even with evidence.

If you have the domain, why not pay for monthly hosting too then? I’ve found since I moved to Wordpress from Blogger, my monetization rate has been better, even now I’m paying monthly, than it was previously. You’re so much more open. If you’ve checked my blog, you know I’m 12 too.

Interesting comments. I am Paris’s mom. Yes, he absolutely writes these posts by himself. There is nobody helping him, except for the books he reads to get ideas and learn from. However…. I have complete access to his blog and his emails (as should every parent) and I sometimes replace a “i” with an “I” and a “there” with a “their,” but it is his blog, his sentences, and his words. I once had to delete an entire post because he included competitive information about his mentor’s business. But truly, this is all coming from him.

For the record, Paris has lots of interests outside money, just like other kids.

Thanks for all the interest in the blog. The boys are having fun with everything that has happened from the article. And John, thank you for your offer to help the boys. They are still learning how to do all this and they appreciate your support.

I still have a hard time believing that he is writing these alone. But rather than “hate”, I plan to read his posts regularly to form a better opinion. Definitely better than a lemonade stand or mowing lawns, both of which I did as a young lad. Keep it up, Paris.
