Explore 15 Ways That Teens Can Make Money Online

Discover the following ways that teens can make money online.

Being an educator at an inner city school and teaching a career preparation course allows me the opportunity to educate students on the different options of making money. This school year I really wanted to focus on showing my students the places to make money online and starting businesses online. Below are the following ways I have so far that teens (13 and up) can legitimately make extra money online. Pretty much all of the payment methods will require that you have a PayPal account.

For Music Lovers

  1. Music Xray-Sign up for free to become a fan. *You must have a Facebook account to use as a fan. Answer some questions about the type of music you like and start receiving music to listen to in your inbox. Get paid up to $0.10 for each song you listen to. The minimum payout amount to PayPal is $20. 

  2. Slice the Pie-Upon signing up, there will be some questions asking about the type of music you like. Songs will then be displayed for you to choose from. Write a review (between 4-5 sentences) and receive payment. Most reviews pay $0.09, and you can redeem to your PayPal once you have earn $10. Earn more money by referring your friends to try the service! My students, of course, do not like to write! However, we were able to talk through a quick writing template for each review so that their time was maximized. 
    Sentence 1: Did you like the song?
    Sentence 2: Why or why not?
    Sentence 3: What stood out in the song (beat, melody, vocals, etc)?
    Sentence 4: What did the song make you want to do (i.e. workout, dance,sleep, etc)?
    Sentence 5: Would you recommend the song and why or why not?

Note: There is now a place in Slice the Pie that you can do Fashion reviews as well.

Ways For Teens To Make Money Doing Gaming and Website Testing

8. Userlytics-Become a website tester. You will need a webcam as this will be used to record your reactions. Make sure that if you are testing, sit in front of a blank wall so that there is no identifiable information about you. Tasks include speaking your thoughts out loud about the website, video, or prototype. Note: Not all tasks require the use of a webcam. Payment per test is $10 (PayPal), sometimes more depending on the test and will take between 10 to 20 minutes to complete. Most tests need to be completed within 2-3 hours.

Blogging/Social Media Options For  Teens To Make Money

Receive compensation from advertisement revenue-share based on the number of likes, comments, and views your post receives. You can redeem to your PayPal once your account has reached $50. This site reminds me of Tumblr with the built in network of users and tags that you can search for and follow.

13. MyLikes (parental consent needed)-Create a social website that you own and share content you like on Twitter, Pinterest, Likes.com, Facebook, Tumblr, and any other social media site that you have. You will be shown an estimate of how much you can make based on your gallery. Payment options include PayPal, Amazon gift cards, and wire transfers. For PayPal and Amazon, you will need at least $20 for redemption. Payment is made weekly if you have a lifetime PayPal balance of less than $10,000 and have earned at least $20 that week. If you have made more than $10,000; you will be on a monthly payment schedule. Wire transfers need to have at least $50.

Online Tutoring

14. Enroll-Become a peer to peer tutor if you are at least 15 years old. If you like helping people and are good in a subject or multiple subjects, consider starting your tutoring business. You can only tutor those 18 and younger. The first two tutoring sessions you do will be free so that you can gain momentum and credibility. Sign up with Facebook, Google +, or your email account.

Entrepreneurship

15. Fiverr-Start your business utilizing your passion! Create a gig or multiple gigs doing what you love to do. Could be a good avenue for those looking to display artistic, musical, modeling, and acting abilities as there are many small businesses looking for advertising. Check it out, as it costs nothing to post a gig.

  3. The best survey site for me at least is Swagbucks. It is one of the few legitimate sites that I have encountered in my 5+ years of experience, making me close to $1000 last year with minimal effort.

    Using this link and entering the code “freegiftcards”, you can start out with a load of free swagbucks

  4. My favorite way to make money online is EarnHoney.

    It works a lot like perk tv did before they ruined it. You can just open up a video tab on your computer and it will run through videos constantly without you having to do anything. I just run it while I sleep and it earns me about $2 per night, which might not seem like much, but for doing absolutely nothing, it’s pretty good. If you have a better internet connection than I have, you could probably make more, but my computer can only handle having two tabs of videos open at a time.

    You also don’t need to give them any personal information to register beyond your email so that they can send you either PayPal money or Amazon gift cards.

  7. I would like to inform anybody trying to use the game testing website that it is a scam. The website takes your email address and then redirects you to a page selling a book. The claim that there are only four spots remaining is false, and so is the money counter, which resets after reloading the page. :/

  9. I think the best option listed is fiverr, because of how versatile the platform is, and how much it has grown and expanded recently. I used this guide when I got started, and I just finished a $150 gig that took me less than an hour to make. thefundamentalflow.com/fiverr

  11. Hi, my son just participated in a data collection project. He really had so much fun. I think it is a great way to learn and earn this summer. Pretty good pay for 5 rounds of recording (10-15 minutes per recording). You might want to check it out, I know the project is still ongoing. Here’s the link where I found the gig. Hope this helps 🙂
