How to make money on the Internet as a teenager: 14 proven methods and 8 useful tips

At what age can you work on the Internet?

For an 11-year-old child, finding a job with an official salary is problematic, but even at such a young age you can get your first money offline and online.

The main difficulty for those who want to make money on the Internet, but are under 14 years of age, is creating an identified wallet from which they can withdraw money. Most services require a passport for this. If you don’t have it yet, then before you start earning money, you need to think about how to get your income.

The obvious way out is to involve someone senior. If you don't want your parents to know about your personal money, ask your older brother or sister. This is the best option. You need to think carefully and enlist the support of a reliable person, otherwise you will waste your time and energy, and someone else will use your funds.

To work on the Internet, you most often need wallets in the WebMoney and Yandex.Money systems. It is also sometimes possible to withdraw funds to a mobile phone account, PayPal or a bank card.

Is it possible for a teenager to save money without a job at 12, 13 or 14 years old?

In order to save a large amount, you need to set a goal. Saving money just in case, just in case, won’t work: the stash will quickly be spent on all sorts of trifles, like sweets or trinkets.

It is wise to save in order to purchase a large item that parents refuse to buy: an iPhone, a game console, a modern computer.

Advice! Perhaps parents will be more amenable if they do not have to pay for an expensive bicycle or computer in full. They will agree to bear part of the costs if the teenager also participates in the purchase. Therefore, the amount that the child will have to save will not be so large in the end.

It is unlikely that a minor will be required to save money for school or everyday expenses. But this does not mean that you can quickly waste the pocket money that a teenager usually has.

It is better to treat money responsibly from the very beginning: this quality will prove useful in adult life.

Making your first financial plan

So, the goal has been set. Let it be a modern phone, maybe even an iPhone. Surely parents will refuse to purchase: in their opinion, this is too expensive a thing that is not needed at 12-14 years old. But with the right approach to business, it is quite possible to realize your dream and become the owner of your treasured smartphone.

Be sure to consider the following subtleties:

• It’s difficult to save up quickly without work . Allow sufficient time to complete the plan: at least a year;
• in the summer things will go faster: you can find an easy part-time job or make money online. During the school year, you can save money only if you save correctly. It’s not worth sacrificing your studies because of the desire to have a fashionable gadget;
• refuse spontaneous purchases , otherwise instead of a large item you will buy a bunch of unnecessary junk.

Decide on sources of cash income. Most often this is:

• pocket money provided by parents. It is more reasonable to save 50-70% of the amount received;
• daily amounts (for travel, meals during school, office supplies). This money can also be spent more carefully and partially saved;
• gifts for birthdays or other holidays that are given in money. Usually these are large sums that will become the basis of savings.

As you can see, even at 13 years old there is money that you can use wisely. Most often, a teenager is supported by his parents, so his own daily expenses are small.

Important! If the goal is to save up for a large item, it is wiser to refuse to buy all kinds of crackers, chips and other harmful things. You shouldn’t go to fast food for company and leave your money there: you’ll need it for something more useful.

How to save money from yourself

Once the goal has been set and the sources of savings have been identified, you need to decide how you will maintain your emergency supply. Leave it in the public domain: carry the amount with you, hide it in a desk drawer? Let's face it: it's not a good idea. The temptation will be too great and you will hardly be able to resist it.

It is better to hide the money in a place where it is difficult to get it from. The classic option is a piggy bank that closes securely. A box with a lock or a sealed envelope may be suitable for this. In short, any storage method is good as long as it makes it difficult to access your money.

Advice! With the help of your parents, you can open a bank account. This is a reliable option to save the amount and increase it a little through interest. This will take at least a year.

Earning options in a nutshell

Any work offline or online can be classified into one of the following categories:

1. Unskilled.
2. Qualified.

The first option on the Internet is available to most people of any age. This type of work does not require long training. Roughly speaking, the scheme looks like this:

1. You go to the site.
2. Register.
3. You read the instructions.
4. You complete tasks.
5. You get money.
6. You withdraw them through an electronic wallet.

The advantage of this type of activity is that you earn quick money without stress, but the disadvantage is that you pay little. No one will offer millions or even thousands for the simplest operation, this must be understood.

A skilled job requires certain skills and abilities, which require time and the desire to strain your brain. Other components may be needed, but these are the main ones. The advantage of such work is high income, the disadvantage is complexity.

Earnings can also be active or passive. In the first case, you constantly perform certain actions and get paid for them. In the second case, the work is performed once, and the income constantly comes to your account. Obviously, the second option has a big advantage over the first, and I think it's worth striving for. And what do you think?

There is another way to get money on the Internet - to open your own business. Entrepreneurial activity can be classified as a special type of skilled work. But it’s still worth highlighting it separately.

Now you know what work options are available, let’s move on to specific types of earnings and sites that allow you to make it. The methods will be ranked from simple to complex. First, I will talk about the options that are available to everyone, and then we will move on to more interesting, from a profit point of view, activities that will require more effort, time and brain activity from you.

Features of the Appbonus mobile application

1. Unlike many similar programs, the Appbonus service provides tasks much more often than other similar applications, which certainly affects your earnings. Based on my experience, I can safely say that it is possible to download 20 applications per day that will pay you for installation. This weighty argument has a significant impact on profits.
2. There are no minimum payouts; you can withdraw even your honestly earned ruble.
3. There is such a system as an additional percentage of income for activity. The more days you log into the application, the greater the percentage of income you can get!
4. All the advantages include receiving two rubles for each invited person. If you have many friends who do not yet know about this service, then go for it!
5. In addition to these two rubles, there is a passive receipt of as much as 20% of their income.

Likes, reposts and other simple tasks

There are several popular services in which you can perform simple actions on a page on a social network or on other sites and receive rewards for it. Let's look at several resources that provide this opportunity.

In social networks

VkTarget.ru is a service for promoting pages and communities on social networks, as well as for part-time work at a convenient time. Here you perform simple actions for which you need to have accounts on social networks and Google. I advise you to create a separate account for these purposes, because if they suspect that you are cheating someone’s indicators, the administration may block the page. Example tasks: subscribe to group news, repost a post, like it.

To start working, register in the system. To do this, you will need a current email address and password.

When you confirm your e-mail and enter your personal section on the site, just wait until available tasks appear, take them to work and complete them.

Other similar sites:

1. Smmok14.ru offers earnings from likes, reposts and other activities on VKontakte. You can create a second page on this social network so as not to risk your main account and start earning income.
2. On likesrock.com you need to install the desktop application and go through a simple registration.
3. Cashbox.ru also gives you the opportunity to make money from your social network account.

On websites and forums

Webmasters and website owners need to improve the behavioral factors of their resources. Therefore, there are special platforms that allow them to carry out their tasks, and teenagers and others who want to earn extra money.

Advego.com is better known as a copywriting exchange, but this site also has tasks for beginners, for example, writing a review or comment, or deciphering a captcha. To start working, just indicate your e-mail in the registration form and come up with a login or nickname. After this, you can immediately take on tasks.

Here are a few similar services for easy money:

1. The socpublic.com service pays for viewing websites and advertising, comments, likes, subscriptions, registration and other simple actions on Internet resources.
2. Forumok.com. The main focus of this service is creating posts on forums. To do this, you need to find such sites and register. There are also tasks related to social networks: likes, reposts, following, etc.
3. Seo-fast.ru offers earnings on site views and clicks. Very simple work, but the pay is appropriate.
4. The site profitcentr.com has a wide variety of tasks: from browsing sites, that is, surfing, to reading letters, taking tests, liking, reposting and other online activities.

6. Seosprint.net also offers paid surfing, clicks and other activities on various sites.
7. In the qcomment.ru service you can earn money by commenting on posts, communicating on forums and watching videos.

Other types of tasks

Yandex.Toloka offers to perform simple operations for humans to check the work of the search robot and create the correct algorithms. You need to compare pictures, determine whether the site matches the topic or request, indicate the product category, and perform other similar actions. You can work through a mobile application.

To start completing tasks, click on the “I am a performer” button on the main page of the service and fill out the form, indicating real information about yourself.

Rucaptcha.com is one of the most popular services where you can make money by entering captcha. If you don’t have any problems with this task, then in any free time you can type combinations of letters and numbers in the program and replenish your budget.

Additionally, you can earn money by installing apps on your phone. This is also a very simple way to earn money.

What you will never make money from

I want to warn you right away and tell you “ways to make money” that you will NEVER make money from. These include:

• earning money by entering captcha;
• clicks;
• paid tasks in boxes;
• watching videos for money;
• filling out questionnaires and surveys;
• reading letters for money;
• paid surfing on the Internet;
• writing reviews;
• casino, betting;
• pyramids, MMM;
• financial games (money games, games with money withdrawal).

here is an example of such a “scam” (actually a scam)

I don’t know for sure whether this whole list is complete or not, this is the first thing that came to mind. With this you will NEVER earn more than 1000 rubles per month. And if you make money, then once or twice at most. The threshold for each of these types of earnings is 2-3 thousand per month with daily work of 4-5 hours. This is disrespect for your time and work.

Freelancing

If you don’t want to spend time and effort earning pennies, I advise you to immediately master one of the in-demand Internet professions. A 14-year-old schoolchild can do this if he has the desire and ability. You need to choose an activity that you like, then you can quickly understand the features of the job and earn good income.

Freelancing involves finding customers and doing work for them according to your profile. The advantages of this kind of income:

• you choose a schedule;
• gradually learn, gain knowledge and skills and increase your income;
• you can choose who to collaborate with and what tasks to complete;
• To work you only need a computer and the Internet, sometimes also a photo and video camera;
• you can work at home, in the office, on the beach, in a park, in a cafe, travel and not be tied to one city.

I will tell you about several specialties that you can master quite quickly.

Copywriter

There are specialized exchanges for copywriters where you can quickly start earning money. Their beauty is that you are insured against deception. If you take an order and complete it in full, you are guaranteed to receive payment. The exchange insures both customers and performers, but takes its own small commission for this.

The most suitable sites for teenagers and other beginners:

• etxt.ru,
• advego.com
• text.ru,
• textsale.ru.

To start writing articles, register on one of these resources and take your first order. If you like to write, and you have friendly relations with the Russian language, then gradually you will get to tasty orders that pay well. You can speed up the transition from beginner to professional by taking a course for beginner copywriters. This will save time and increase income.

Administrator of groups and pages on social networks

This profession is well suited to young people who feel at home on social networks. Tasks and payment may vary. Most often you will be required to:

• create pages, groups, communities;
• draw them up;
• fill with content;
• attract subscribers;
• conduct sweepstakes and other promotions;
• monitor compliance with the rules.

In general, an administrator on VKontakte or another social network is an interesting and varied job. You can try yourself as an administrator without prior preparation, but it is better to take an accelerated training course to feel confident and quickly find customers.

Video editor

If you like to shoot and process videos, you can offer your services on the Internet. Many companies that work in advertising or event business require video editors. Also among your clients there may be private individuals for whom you need to perform one-time work, for example, cutting fragments from a video, adding subtitles or an audio track.

Video editing can bring stable and fairly high income over time, while you will be doing an interesting and favorite thing.

To work you will need special programs and a fairly powerful computer.

Other in-demand internet professions

You can also become:

• a designer, if you have a sense of taste and know how to work in Photoshop or another graphic editor;
• targetologist;
• contextual advertising specialist;
• web programmer;
• remote operator;
• translator;
• online tutor, etc.

By the way, it is easier for children and teenagers to learn from each other, so perhaps you will be the first such young tutor for your peers if you are well versed in a certain subject.

You can also make money by selling your photos. If you have good equipment and have already collected a lot of beautiful photographs, try selling them on special websites.

There are a lot of opportunities on the Internet, your task is to apply your knowledge, skills and strengths in the most profitable way.

Websites for freelancers

For freelancers of any profession, there are sites where you can find your first customers.

Work-zilla.com is perhaps the most popular resource, which has a lot of work for writers, translators, programmers, webmasters, designers, content managers, targetologists and other specialists.

Go to the website and register as a performer. To do this, enter your name, email and create a password.

After confirming your email, you need to pass mandatory tests. This way, the exchange administration can be sure that all participants know the rules and have the minimum skills to work.

Now all that remains is to pay the fee of 390 rubles. This is a common practice for such resources; most often they charge something like a subscription fee.

Other popular freelance exchanges:

• fl.ru,
• moguza.ru,
• kwork.ru,

• youdo.com and others.

You can start with one exchange or register with them all to find the best deals and get your first orders.

Passive income: where to start

We have a detailed and very sensible article on passive income on our website, I recommend reading it. If you are 13 years old, then not all methods will be suitable, but you can still choose several suitable options that will help create a good monthly influx of money in the future.

Let's look at specific examples of how this works.

Earning money from reviews

Perhaps you know such resources that collect high-quality detailed reviews about everything under the sun. The most popular sites are ozovik.com and irecommend.ru.

Your task is to write good, detailed reviews, preferably with photographs. However, your work is not paid immediately. But if the description of a product or service really helps people make a purchase decision or, conversely, reasonably dissuades them from it, and the number of readers grows, you begin to receive monthly payment for views.

Thus, you do the work once, and you can receive money for it for years.

Partnership programs

This is the second type of passive income without investments, which is available to teenagers and everyone. Many sites invite partners who will recommend products or services and receive a commission for this.

For example, you took a course in Photoshop and wrote a detailed review on your social networks, on large forums and other accessible platforms with your recommendation to take the training. People follow the special affiliate link that you placed in the text, pay for the classes, and you receive interest.

The more Internet users follow the link and pay for goods and services, the more money you earn. Moreover, from one successfully placed post you can again “pump” income for years. But for this you need to try, work on the text and find a good place to place it.

Earn money from your accounts and groups on social networks

To start earning income from your page or community on a social network, you need to:

1. Deciding on the platform from which you want to start is not worth scattering across all sites at once. Now Instagram has gained great popularity and continues to strengthen its position. Read about making money on this social network.
2. Choose a topic.
3. Design the page and fill it with content.
4. Attract a sufficiently large number of readers.

After this, you can earn money from advertising posts, affiliate programs and other available methods, depending on the chosen social network and the topic of the group or personal page.

YouTube channel

This is another way of passive income for minor young people and those who have already crossed the age mark of 18 years. The scheme is similar to promoting an account on a social network. You need to create a channel on a video hosting site, choose a topic and publish your videos. Once you get enough views, you can earn income from advertising.

The main thing is to correctly decide on the topic and learn how to shoot high-quality videos. Boys and men often run channels about games and technology, girls - about cooking, makeup, and communicating with guys. You can choose any direction close to you. Video content is what young people like, so you have every chance of creating a cool and popular YouTube channel.

How to make money effectively with Appbonus?

These tips will help newbies get up to speed and make the most of their time.

• Set notifications, then the chance of missing a task is reduced to zero.
• It is advisable to connect via a Wi-Fi network, not everyone can afford to spend mobile Internet on a bunch of applications, and besides, you can go into the red.
• You should not delete the application immediately after downloading it; leave it for a few days. Only then will the task be considered completely completed.
• With each successfully completed task, the “level” of the profile rises, which also has a huge impact on the final profit. By completing all tasks to the end, you will receive additional income and +1 to “experience” on your account.

Scammers

There are quite a lot of people in life and online who take advantage of other people’s gullibility, that is, scammers. They promise one thing, but you get something completely different, and you pay with your own money. How to identify these unpleasant actors and not fall for their tricks:

• understand that promises of big, easy earnings in the absence of any special skills are fairy tales, a lie;
• use proven, reliable platforms and services;
• read reviews about companies and sites on third-party resources;
• if you are asked to first pay for some materials or services, and then get the job, this is also a clear sign of a “scam”;
• any super promotions, super options and secret techniques should alert you.

Usually scammers work through your emotions and ask you to urgently take some action, otherwise the discount or advantageous offer will “burn out”. Take your time, think carefully, assess the situation and then make a decision. This way you will save your money and nerves.

Tips for those starting to work on the Internet

Of course, the methods described in this article are not all the possibilities that are available on the Internet. You can come up with your own earning scheme, find a pressing problem and solve it. Try to generate a few of your own ideas for what you could do online. Maybe you will sell services, make money on games or your knowledge, create an information product or write a program.

Here are some tips to get started:

• try different options and choose what suits you best;
• learn and improve your skills;
• communicate with like-minded people;
• ask questions to those who are already making good income on the Internet;
• take action.

The sooner you start, the sooner you will get decent pay for your work. This takes practice.
