    Yea, almost every US-based CPA network will require SSN/EIN. You can try signing up for other international (Canada or European) networks, such as Neverblue, Maxbounty etc.

      You probably are a bit young to start IMing but.......you could contact a few of them and ask if it is possibly for you to join (i've known a few to bend the rules a little). If they say no you could always ask you one of your parents or a borther or sister to sign up for you. This however could cause tax complications as they would be liable for tax as the money will be paid out to them.

    I'm 16 and started to become interested in IM. I contacted many CPA networks, and one accepted me. I now make money from this network and I can prove to other networks that my age does not matter.

    p.s. Try the network: Envyus Media

    Maybe you can get one of your parents to open an account for you? Not sure that's entirely legal, but use at your own risk.

        Be careful in which ever route you go. I would talk it over with your parents or guardians first.

      That's what I was going to suggest. If you are doing everything completely whitehat and doing a form of IM that is completely ethical and everything, you can probably explain everything to your parents and work something out.

      Keep in mind that they would then be technically earning the money and responsible for reporting income and paying the related taxes, so they would have to be completely in the loop.

      Again, use at your own risk

    I start really young also! Boy does time fly. It was a lot easier back in 06-07! I would have your parents open an account for you.

      That's true age really doesn't matter. I myself am 16 aswell so it's great to see other IMers my age.

      I don't think it would be to good of an idea to go against your parents wishes. I think it would be a better idea to tell your parents about the idea. Convince them to maybe open up an account for you. Theres no reason they should get mad at you if you run an ethical business. Just my 2 cents

      Yea you better have a real adult talk with them and show them what this business is. Get their permission first

      P.S

      You can always build websites and do article and video marketing for the next two years promoting your own website. You won't make money now but a few years from now you should see great traffic.

    First of all make sure whatever you do is legal! This is not a bunch of lawyers talking, but people who have watched others get in trouble for skirting the law.

    Second, if you are interested in internet marketing do not limit yourself to just CPA networks (unless you really, really want to do that).

    Look into other ways of making money. Just like those who mow the lawn. There are services that you can do for others in regards to IM. This forum is a great place to start.

    Additionally, look into other products that you can create that would sell online and you can work out a payment arrangement.

    Third, that is awesome that you are starting so young. It is great to see!

    What about talking to your family members that are over 18 and see if you can work with them in some way, shape or form for this

    I started at 15 and am 17 now . You already have a SSN as a minor and you can go to the IRS website and get an EIN easily. Not to mention the earnings look good on a college application.

    I've made around $2000 in the last year. It's too little to have to pay taxes on but you still need to keep track of your income.
