Best Way for teens to make money online?

Question by computerboy93: Best Way for teens to make money online?
I have been looking for a while for ways I can make money online. Most sites I have thought about signing up for I have read to be scams. Are there any good sites that you use that a 15 year old can sign up for and make a decent amount of money? Not a huge payout because those are usually scams, but enough to make it worth the effort. I don’t mind survey sites as long as you dont have to get loaded with junk mail.

You asked a reasonable question and did nothing to deserve the rude response you received from Hunter. Tune him out.

Why do you have to make this money online? If you have good computer skills, you may be able to earn money doing some consulting work–perhaps right in your own neighborhood. Many older adults want to learn to use computers and are willing to pay for assistance. They may need help setting up and customizing their computers or help in learning to use e-mail and other basic programs.

If you do this, keep track of your income as you will need to report it on an income tax return. That is no big deal. Save 15% of your earnings to pay self-employment tax. Unless you make well over 00, you won’t owe any income tax.

You may also want to contact major gaming companies online. They may hire you for tech support. It’s a longshot but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

One more thing: consider doing some computer volunteer work this summer at your local senior citizen center or library. You’ll build some positive experience for your resume and may also get some school credit toward a senior project, if your school requires such. It is also great on a college and/or scholarship application.

Good luck!
