10 Ways for Teens to Make Money Online in 2015
Being a teen in 2015 can be a daunting task. With rising prices and a weak job market it can be hard for a teen to make themselves any sort of income. However, there are many more opportunities available to teenagers in the present day compared with in the past. The internet has opened has opened a wide range of opportunities for teens to make money online. A teen who is willing to work hard can make much more money online than in other employment opportunities available to teenagers like working a cash register at McDonalds. Below is a list of 10 of the best proven ways for teens and college students to begin making money online. While the list is intended for teens it can be used by anyone from stay at home moms to adults looking for a side income.
1.) BloggingStarting a blog remains to be the best way for teens to make a passive income online in 2015. It isn’t
a get rich method by any means but if you stick to it you will find yourself making some decent money. Websites like Blogger and Wordpress provide free blogging platforms, or you can buy your own custom URL and hosting. You can then make money with the blog via Google Adsense, by selling a product, affiliate sales and other ways! Check my post on How to Start a Blog for Teens to learn how you can being making money today.
2.) Paid Online Surveys
To date I have made nearly $5,000 in my paid online survey sites adventure. Keep in mind to never provide a credit card or private information to any of these websites as they can then sell it to third
parties. You can check out my CashCrate Proof of Payment here.
Some of the best survey sites are listed below:
3.) Get Paid to Listen to Music
Listening to and reviewing up and coming artists is a very effective way for teens to make money online in 2015. Websites like Music Xray and Slicethepie are a couple of the best programs out there that pay out real money to their users.
You can read my reviews of these websites below:
4.) Sell Stuff on Ebay
Ebay has been an exceptional way to make money online for years and continues to be so in 2015. While one of the most common ways to make money with Ebay is to sell your old gadgets, a proven new way is to become a re-seller. You simply buy items on sale or that have been mislisted and resell them on Ebay for a profit. Check out my Ebay Reselling for College Students Guide to learn how you can begin making money today.
5.) Affiliate Marketing
With little to no blogging or affiliate knowledge, you can easily find yourself making a lot of money with affiliate programs like ClickBank. These programs allow you to promote and sell other peoples products and receive a commission as a result.

6.) Create Micro-Niche Websites
In the last half year I have discovered the amazing earning potential of micro niche websites. A MNS is a website that has a few articles on it on a keyword that gets a relatively small amount of search engine searches each month. The goal is to create a small blog with the keyword as the domain name, and then rank that website 1st on Google for its keyword. Check out my guide on how you can Make $5000 a Month With Micro Niche Websites.
7.) Use Fiverr
Fiverr is a website that allows people to earn $5 for each “gig” that they perform. A gig can be something like creating a logo or even drawing someone as a cartoon. If you are able to do something that people are willing to pay you for, then it is a great way to earn some extra money online as a teen.
8.) Mechanical Turk
Mechanical Turk is a service provided by Amazon that pays you to complete simple tasks in exchange for a small payment. For example, you may describe an image in 1 sentence for $0.08. This may seem small, but you can find yourself making $10+ an hour if you stick to it. I found a great guide on Reddit that I have listed below that really helps you make the most bang for your buck.
9.) Create a Youtube Channel
Do you have a special skill or do your friends think that you’re really funny? Start a YouTube channel! With a basic video camera and video editing software you can set up a channel and attract subscribers and views if you produce good content. Full time YouTubers make over $100K a year off of ad revenue, so it is definitely plausible to make yourself at least an extra $1,000 a month if you create quality videos in your spare time.
10.) Find Jobs on Craigslist
The summer going into my senior year of high school I was without work and didn’t really know
what to do with my spare time. I went to Craigslist and was able to find a part time job as a call center representative for a local business. I was able to sit at home and answer phone calls part-time while making decent money. There are also tons of other jobs like landscaping and painting that teens can take advantage of to make some extra money.

Teens Make Money Testing Games
Looking to make some part-time income online while having fun at the same time? Well look no further. I recently came across an online game testing website that puts you in contact with companies that are looking for game testers to test up and coming video games. While it definitely helps to have some gaming experience, you can make an income with little to no experience.
Sign Up
First head on over to GameTesters.Net and click the sign-up button. Since this website is so popular you may not be able to register your first try because they only take a limited number of registrations each day. You then need to provide them with your gaming experience and gaming platform of choice.
What Your Earnings Depend On
Like all jobs, the more experience you have the more you will make. Don't be discouraged if you have little game testing experience though! If you start now as a teenager or college student you can find yourself making very good money testing games in a few years. Everyone needs to start somewhere. Also, since most of you will probably be working as temporary testers, you will not be making as much as those who are working in full-time positions. Testing games is a great part-time, after school or weekend job for students that are taking classes and looking to make some money in their spare time.
What to Expect
Game-Testers.Net will put you in contact with companies that are hiring game testers. Due to this, it will help if you have some experience and knowledge of the general gaming industry. You will often be testing games that have not been released yet and are in the works, so you will have to pass some sort of background test to ensure that you will be a trustworthy and hardworking employee. It always helps to have an updated resume too so get to work on that!
Nothing Guaranteed
Like any job, nothing can be guaranteed for game testers, especially part-time testers. The gaming industry is very volatile and can sometimes be in an upward trend with things going great, while other times in a downward trend where companies are laying off employees.
There you have it, theres not much to becoming a game tester and making yourself a decent income as a teen. It's a great way to spend 15-20 hours a week while making $15/hr and doing something that you love to do...playing video games! But it is a professional industry so you need to be courteous, hardworking and passionate about what you are doing, or else you will not get hired anywhere. So good luck and make money teens!

Make Money Online - How to Avoid Scams
Being a college student myself making money online, I know how some stories of people claiming to make "$4,000 a WEEK!" are just too good to be true. Unless you are an established blogger with years of experience, or running an online scam, no one can make that much money online. When you first start off on your internet marketing journey, it is important to keep a few things in mind in order to avoid scams. I have put together a short list that you can reference in order to keep yourself safe!
No Money is Easy Money
If someone tells you that you can make easy money using their service with little to no work, don't believe it. Be smart and check reviews on certain people and services before you give anyone your hard earned money.
When in Doubt, Play it Safe!
Don't Send Money to Someone You Don't Know
Have you ever gotten those emails from a "Nigerian Prince" claiming that you are the rightful owner of a large sum of money? All they need from you is your bank account information and social security number. I think at one point or another everyone has gotten this email, and I can guarantee that no one has ever gotten any money out of the deal. In fact people can lose all their savings by giving out their information to a stranger. Same goes for sending money to someone you don't know. Unless you are using a reputable service like Ebay, Fiverr, or Paypal, do NOT send money to someone you don't know if you haven't done any research on that person or service. A good way to get a review on somebody is to simply Google that person or service + "review","scam", etc. This will likely turn up some information on whether the person is legit or not.
Check if an Email Address is Real or Not
Reputable companies and services will not email you asking your for personal information like your social security number or bank information. While an email may look like it is from a legit company in your mailbox, it is smart to click "show details" which will show the actual senders email. If Google or a similar company is actually emailing you, then the email will not come from "Sk8rboi@gmail.com."
No Money is Easy Money
If someone tells you that you can make easy money using their service with little to no work, don't believe it. Be smart and check reviews on certain people and services before you give anyone your hard earned money.
When in Doubt, Play it Safe!If you have a weird feeling about a certain person or service, chances are that it is a scam. Trust your gut! Don't fall for scammers actions because the deal sounds so good. Especially as a teen, it can be difficult to differentiate certain deals from one another based on your lack of experience. Many online merchants also have a stamp of approval on their profile which can be seen to the right. If you cannot locate one of these stamps, trust your gut and don't pull the trigger on the deal.
There you have it! Before you give anyone money you should do your research, or ask a parent what they think! Often times deals that sound too good to be true, are! Keep these tips in mind and good luck making money online! Comment below with any questions. Cheers to a happy 2015.

Top 5 Ways for Teens to Invest Their Money
As you begin to make money as a teen, you will hopefully start to save some. As you begin to save some money, then you'll hopefully start to look into the possibility of investing your money in hopes to make a larger return. Let me start off by saying that investments can be very risky. Even the most seasoned wall-street investors can lose millions of dollars at the drop of the hat, which is why it is so important you only invest with funds you can afford to lose and to make sure that you are a smart investor. The number #1 piece of advice that almost all financial services tell you is to make sure that you pay off your debt, such as student loans, before you begin investing. Sure, it may sound cool to have the possibility to turn your $5,000 into $7,000 after a year, but that initial $5,000 can also turn into $0. Then you will be stuck with $0 as well as debt that will continue to grow due to interest. Now that you have that in mind, here are some great ways that you can begin to invest, granted you have all of your debt paid off, with a small amount of money while being a teen, college student, or young adult.
1.) Make a Fantasy Account
The best way to learn about the world of investing is to make a fantasy account. Imagine having $100,000 and allocate that money to various investments. Track your progress over the course of a year and along the way you are sure to learn about the world of business or finance. A great way to do this is to perform this with a couple of close friends or your parents. That way you will have someone to talk about these investments with and learn from. Also, many brokerage accounts offer services where you can trade pretend money for free, which will help you gain knowledge on various investments and what not to do when it comes time to investing real money.
2.) Put Your Money Into a Savings Account
Probably the best advice I can give you when looking to invest your money as a teen is to put it into a savings account. When investing with small amounts of money the potential returns are very small. For example, say you invest $1,000 into a particular company. Don't expect at the end of that year to have doubled your money and have $2,000. A 100% return on a given year is incredibly rare and only happens to the luckiest of investors. A great strategy to have is to take the money that you are planning on investing with, putting it into a savings account for a year, and then making a fantasy investing account so you can learn which investments work and don't work. At the end of that year, you will have more money to invest with and a better understanding of potential investments.
3.) Invest in the Stock Market
Investing in the stock market can be fairly risky, however with the right plan you can minimize your potential loses. It is important to use a fantasy account first so that you understand the ups and downs of the market before you put any real money at risk. It is nearly impossible to predict the direction of a stock and many people invest in a company solely based on speculation of how they will perform in the future. In order to open your own brokerage account you need to be 18 years old, however with your parents permission, they can open up a custodial account for you if you aren't yet of age. When investing, keep in mind that you should be investing for long-term gain. Over long periods of time, returns in the stock market have averaged about 10% per year. Some great low-no minimum brokerage accounts that you can check out are Etrade, TD Ameritrade and Trade Monster.
4.) Invest in a Website
With $1,000 you can build a pretty amazing website with a lot of great content on it. You can pay others to design your website, perform SEO for it, write articles for it, get a custom logo and many others all with virtually no work on your end. Fact of the matter is that the only money I put into this website is for the URL and hosting which is only about $10/year and I make easily $1,000 a year with it. With a $1,000 you could build a website on a niche that you are knowledgable on and possibly make some huge returns. Or you could buy 40-50 micro niche sites and make a profit $10-$20 a month on EACH one. I have been investing for roughly 5 years now, in both the stock market and with mutual funds, and I have found that internet marketing blows them all out of the water. It is a lot less risky and a lot easier to predict how much money you expect to make in a given month.
5.) Invest in a Mutual Fund
Investing in individual stocks can be risky because you can lose a ton of money if the company you are investing with comes out with a bad earnings report, or worse, goes bankrupt. Mutual funds are investment pools run by individuals. Even if you only have a couple thousand dollars to invest, a mutual funds spreads your money out over several different stocks representing different companies. Check out Yahoo Finance or Morningstar to research various mutual funds that you can invest in. Some high earning mutual funds can make you upwards of a 20% return each year.
For some great sites that offer some more free advice on investing for teens check out the list below. Make sure you are smart when you start investing and don't rush into it. When I was 18 I invested $1,000 I had made waiting tables into a tech company without doing any research. The company tanked and I eventually lost $500. So be smart and let me know if you have any questions below!

How To Buy and Sell Websites to Make $10,000
Within the past year I have discovered a surefire way to make yourself a great income online as a young adult. That method? Selling websites. Everyday new people are joining the internet and have a URL that they would like to purchase. If you head over to Flippa you will find websites being listed for between $20-$25,000 and up. Some of those websites are well-established domains that bring in thousands of dollars a month in ad revenue for users. However, some of the cheaper websites are fairly new, they just have a great domain that the user was able to snatch up and is now selling. The concept of buying and selling websites, otherwise known as website flipping is not new, but it has become a very popular trend for internet marketers over the past year. Want to learn how you can make some money in this industry of buying and selling websites? Find out now!What to Look For When Buying a Website
Traffic- If no one is visiting the website, then why would I buy it? Sites like Google and Wikipedia are worth so much money, because millions of people visit them each day. The same goes for you when your buying or selling a smaller website. More traffic = More $$$
Revenue- While a site may be getting a lot of traffic, if it is not making any money then why would people want to buy it? Make sure when looking at how much a website makes you look at screenshots for as far back as possible. Sites fluctuate with how much they make each month, so while Site A may have made $4000 last May, that does not mean that Site A is making $4000 each month.
Age of the Domain Name- Google LOVES older, more established websites. When looking at ad postings on Flippa, you will notice that one of the first things they display under every listing is "Established:". People want to buy older websites that have been around for awhile and people know about, not websites that were created 1 month ago with 6 indexed pages. You will notice that older websites always go for more money. College students looking to make money online can take advantage of this by creating a handful of websites at the beginning of the year and continuously adding content throughout the year. Then at the end of the school year you have several established websites that you can make an awesome chunk of change off of, provided you have been offering great content and have been doing effective SEO on the sites.
Social Media Accounts- When pricing websites, social media accounts almost always come into play. Your websites should have active accounts with a decent following. Number of Facebook shares, Tweets, Google +1's and other values can help predict how popular a domain is.
What Should I Do With My Websites?
Once you have your websites there are some tricks that you can do to help your website become established which will make you much more money down the road.
Publish a lot of Content- Google loves content. Not just any content, but unique content. If you are coming up with weekly content that readers love, you will rank better on search engines and ultimately get more traffic and more money. This will fetch you a much higher price as you look to sell the website in the future. You cannot just purchase a site and forget about it, there is some work actually involved.
Have a Good Topic- If you have a website that no one wants to read, then you have the wrong topic. Make sure you pick something that you at least have some knowledge in. You do not want to purchase a website about quantum physics and then have no idea what to write about once you have it. Popular niches that have been know to create a lot of money on Flippa are fitness/health related, technology, food and gaming. As a teen or college student this is your chance to shine as you know more about what's popular in pop culture compared with older adults.
Get Natural Backlinks- The more traffic coming into your blog means the better chances that people will link to your website. The more authority websites linking to yours looks better to Google and search engines. Don't be fooled by BlackHat methods of collecting links. Solid DoFollow backlinks take time to build and there is NO method that will get you on the first page of Google in a week. Don't get discouraged, if you continue to produce quality content people WILL link to it and you will get natural links.
Dont be Afraid to Sell- If after 10 months of having a website you purchased for $100 you get an offer for $5000, don't be afraid to sell the website! Unless you are surely confident that you can fetch more at a later date, take the money when it is there. I had a friend who was offered $12,500 for a Fitness-Niche blog he created, however he did not accept it. A few months later he sold the site for $8000...a $4500 loss!
How Much Should I Buy/Sell My Website For?
When selling your website on Flippa, you should figure out the current value of the site. A simple way to determine this is to do a simple Google search for "how much is my website worth." There are numerous sites that can predict the value of your website based on different data analytics. However, be careful because many of these services often give you a range of values so it's best to read some reviews before you stick with a number. A great website that offers you an estimate is www.siteworthit.com. Another great way to determine how much the site should be worth is to compare it to other sites in a similar niche. That way you can get an idea of what past similar sites have gone for and how much you can expect to be making in the upcoming transaction or how much you should be prepared to spend when buying in.
I hope that I have provided you with enough information to help you as you begin the process of buying and selling websites. As always, comment below if you have any questions and thanks for reading!
