Guaranteed ways for teens not to make money online
If you are new here, then please start at the beginning . These posts are put here in order but they show up last one first, as you know.
Please know that these suggestions on how for making money online for teens include only options that require a bit of hard work. The flipside is that they generally do not require you to spend money, like so many other so-called 'I am going to help you" programs.
Free NEVER means free
You know these all too well.. they say 'free' when you do the search or in the title but when you actually get done reading all the sales crap and bogus endorsements you find at the bottom of the page that they are trying to sell you something. Most of these are affiliate links. You can tell an affiliate link because it will show up at the bottom of your browser with a tag at the end of the internet address. The tag will look something like id=1022 or aff=666. You may have also seen those websites that offer free downloads -- all you have to do is enter an email address. Guys, I cannot stress this enough: do not give out your primary email. Go to gmail or yahoo or mail.com and set up a throw-away email address that you can use for all your registrations and for your online identity. Don't use your own name. I can't believe that I have to say that.
Don't select topics that are Flooded with sites
otherwise you will not make money.
If you want to start a blog and you want to make some money from it, then don't do what 80% of newbs do: they see a successful blog like courts or griz's or vic's and they immediately copy it. Anyway the real point of this paragraph is to stress that you should not copy the SUBJECTS that are already overly blog-heavy. The only exception to this is if you can rank for the longtail that nobody has yet. More on this later.
If you are a teen who wants to make money onine, then don't fall for the Look at all my checks ! scheme :
The latest trend in conning people out of their money is to show cutout versions of checks. Money making claims backed up by actual shots of the check -- wow, what could be better? This guy MUST be telling the truth. I better order his product immediately. Okay everyone, if I go do a search for 'income checks' on google images, i only get 4.7 million results. I'm sure nobody would be faking these.
