How to make money online if you're a teen

Post Reply New Topic

My name is Will i'm 17 years old and I have aspergers syndrome. Basically I want get some money online the trustworthy way, I looked up websites like swabucks and online surveys but I read reviews and the reviews said they were untrustworthy. I tried to do youtube but as usual nobody watches my videos and I don't have money to do twitch not like anybody would watch my twitch anyway and the process is confusing. Is there anyway I could do work online or any trustful way for a teen like myself to make money online.

I have been using Swagbucks since 2009. While I don't think you can 'make money' from it, get enough bucks and you can get stuff for free essentially. I have gotten a lot of PayPal gift cards from them. Don't know how they would not be trustworthy.

I sell stuff online to make some extra money. It isn't just a few things I find around the house; I go and buy stuff specifically to resell. It takes quite a bit more work than people realize, but if you really work at it, take good photos, and know what to sell, you could make a decent amount of money. I have been selling since July 2012, and while I haven't really been selling recently because of being away at University, selling stuff I bought to resell has put roughly an extra $1800-$2100 in my savings. Perhaps something like this would be a viable option.

I've done surveys in the past that only generated around £3 ($5) a day which is less than what my benefit gets me (£8 a day or £57 pw) so not really worth it, especially when its relative to what I buy online as i'm not really good at saving money. It depends on how many surveys you are willing to take part in, prepare for junk mail and some might require card details, the really high benefiting ones do require valid details for confirmation. A good day would get $5 and a bad one potentially none at all. If you don't receive benefits its not really a good use of your time to do surveys, and if I find myself in that situation in the future I'm sure i'll be motivated enough to grab any job i could find.

Not sure what the age limit is on it...but I go to opinion outpost, you just take surveys and earn points and can eventually get cash or other rewards. Though you may have to have a pay-pal account not sure....but plenty of the survey sites are legitimate though most do take a while to really earn points to redeem and some only offer prizes rather than any actual money.

Unless you have unique product or service to sell, you aren't going to make significant money.

There are some website where you can do micro jobs, but the money you earn is really really low and not worth your time.

Easiest way to make money is to go to school/college and get a skill that is demand.

a paper round is staple for a reason.
decent pay, not too bad hours (only early, but not too long), and you don't need to interact with other people while doing so

I know one possibility, but it'd likely get you and others arrested.

You can write ebooks or record your own music and sell it on the Apple store.

I believe gold farming in MMOs would still be a lucrative exercise.. it might take a lot of dedication though.
its too bad the d3 Real money auction house is gone now, I made at least 1k on that with moderate ease.
other than that theres sites like http://sharecash.org/ that pay you when others download your files and go through their surveys, and ad.fly that pay a smaller sum for having people go through an ad before getting to your link.
I've made a little bit from each of those.

OP, what are your Youtube videos about?

As for these online surveys, if you only get paid a few dollars for a full day's work, it would be a more efficient use of your time to just get a conventional job. I'm reminded of the time when Mark Twain said kids in his day would spend long hours searching for scrap metal to make a few cents when in the same amount of them they could have made ten times as much money by having a job.

Would it be practical for you to work after school or on weekends?

Can anyone help me out too?
