“AkashBC.com – A young talented designer and coder” reads the lead banner on Akash Chandran’s personal web page.

Having developed a keen interest in the field and spurred on by the prospect of earning big money so early on, 15-year-old Akash has been actively engaged in developing websites and offering online solutions for the past two years. What began as a pay per click service—for which he was earning $ 0.001 per click—has advanced to an online solutions site and he gets Rs.5,000 per website designed. He has designed over 50 websites so far and his online solutions site focuses primarily on GPT (Get Paid To service) sites which get paid by offering advertising space.

Companies and individuals use GPT sites to display their banner and text and to advertise. More the traffic, more the GPT site can charge.
