So...my attempt at breaking into IM legally.

not click bank, im sorry I should rephrase what I said, I have word with clickbank before and i know they do not require you to be 18. However the only clickbank methods I know have to do with setting up a blog, reviewing a product, and then writing a crap ton of articles to promote it. Now this wouldn't really be a problem because I don't mind the work. I just really dislike the method (not so much the setting up a blog or website part). I don't like the idea of reviewing a product I have never used, seems a bit underhanded. Now I am sure that there are alot of other methods to promote clickbank products, and perhaps that knowledge is what I am missing. However having a payout period that is a month or so long plus time for checks to get to my house is also a bit of a drag when dealing with paying insurance and gas and all that stuff. Flipping websites/selling my own products just seemed like it would be a better deal, mostly for the instant pay out aspect. So I suppose if anyone has any clickbank ideas that doesnt involved false reviews or writing 15 million one sided articles trying to describe a product and a scenario that I really don't know anything about. Then please share that as well.

Hi Hagel, I do have a parent, two actually, however they are not interested in going into business with me. I am semi afraid to use other peoples names for various reasons such as tax issues. I wouldn't want to mess up anything with my parents or siblings under their name. Which is why I was looking for alternative methods to make money online that have no age limit. The main thing to me seems to be direct selling rather than affiliate selling. Since I cannot be a part of any mlm network in order to sell directly I decided that creating my own products or flipping websites would be the best alternative until I turn 18 in a few months.

You can still get a business license even if you are 17. That's when I got my first DBA. Have been using it even since.

DBA? How do I go about getting that? And How would I use it with anything online since im too young to be legally signed up?

I understand what your saying dotslash but by a few months i mean about 8 months, now seeing as internet marketing is my main form of income over the traditional teenagers job I was looking for something I can do while I develop those websites. That way I can pay for gas and such. Which is why I was asking for information on flipping websites and creating products....

To sashas: What do you mean trading domains exactly? How do I go about doing that.

I think you could try like Sashas said with trading domains or flipping domains.

You could also start creating blogs and sites and in the next couple of months when you are 18, you will be ready to make tons of cash.

Wait a minute! It seems I once read about a 16 year old who built and sold a forum for tens of thousands sometime last year or even earlier this year. Will look it up and post it here!

alright premium thanks, let me know if you find it. And I know wfor a fact its possible to make money on the net before 18, just do a good search for "millionaires before 20" and you'll find tons of kids that have done it. And I am definitely going to look into trading domains and flipping domains, I just don't know where to start. I will also start creating websites and blogs and getting them established so that once I monetize at 18 i'll be able to make alot of money off the bat. But does anyone know where I can get information on how to start with flipping or trading domains/websites?
