Making money (Teenager)

I, for one, graduated high school and went to college at 16. Some people do it even earlier.

Dustin_M has the best advice. I would add some further things to it.

First, you can use this forum to learn something marketable. There's a lot of reasonably low-effort, high-time work that people don't want to do themselves.

Here's a good example; most people like to be signed up to a boatload of social media sites. Here's a site where you can check a username and see if it's available on a whole bunch of them.

Check Username Availability at Multiple Social Networking Sites

You could offer a service where you check someone's name AND REGISTER IT on all these services for some reasonable fee, given how long it takes you to do it. Here, look how people respond to this:

"Accounts on over 80 new media social sites - DONE FOR YOU"

And honestly, who can't fill out a registration form, right?

Then add a service where you actually bookmark and promote something across all of these services. You'll have a reputation as the new media social guy, and people will trust you to do a good job.

As they submit stuff to you, look at it.

They want you to promote it because it makes them money. Enough money that they can afford to pay you. And across all your jobs from all your clients, a pattern will start to emerge, and you will begin to see what you can make money promoting like this.

So start building stuff like that, and promoting it for yourself.

Once you get good at that, advertise a new service where you build this stuff. Guess what? People will hire you! And you'll start to see patterns about how they want you to build it.

Tweak, test, improve. Eventually, you won't need to offer any services for anything anymore.

That is intense stuff man... were you in the military?

You have to earn every amount of money, you must work hard for you to have money.
