You've given me a great idea! Thanks. Your daughter, mother-in-law, grandson asks you

I'd tell them to go to the warrior forum, and join various (non spammy) marketing groups and masterminds on facebook

I'd also spend alot of 1 on 1 time with them mentoring and coaching them as to how to make it work for themselves.

I inherited many sisters-in-law when I got married. They and loads of other teenagers are into the beauty, hair care, cosmetics niche.

They make videos talking about these things, techniques, their "haul" from the store (doesn't have to be expensive, either).

Then some affiliate links to the products discussed in the videos is how they make the money.

Built-in audience with their peer group.

Easy to make content.

Platforms are already there to get traffic and market on.

Tell them to give me their money to reinvest. Easier than trying to teach people how to do what I do.

It's really like asking someone how to be a precision machinist.

There are so many moving parts, it's not a trade you can just pass off during a 5 minute conversation.

That being said, if you put a gun to my head, I'd recommend that the absolute novice begin writing on Fiverr, and then promote the hell out of that gig.

Easy enough, and indeed feasible. (As long as they can write halfway decent).

I would tell them to start a youtube channel for one of their interests.

I would teach them that how to look forward with easy CPA networks.

Making money on internet without those. Well good suggestion is to invest that money in themselfs so they can learn some skills and go to school some more. Another thing to make money online is with sales. But that branch is too much overcrowded so they need to be really sharp.
So my suggestion is either sales or invest in themselves to learn.

Nothing comes from nothing. It sounds harsh, but, what it is. Sometimes, it's easier to give a simple and direct response--if you're not qualified to do it, find something else you are qualified to do--offline.

If they're persistent in making it online, they'll find a way. They will research the net for as long as it takes and find something they are capable and comfortable doing. They will find a way IF they have made up their minds to find a way. Or, they can figure that they should learn the basics of whatever it is they are interested in before they can start to make money. Whatever it takes for as long as it takes.

Either researching their questions online or the WF is a start.

They ask someone else...unless you want to be held totally responsible for their success or much more likely, failure.

There are many kinds of in the Internet, he can do many jobs. Such as he can do Affiliate marketing or, Adsense if he know how to write content. There no need to make a huge investment. If he does not know how to do this work, he need to spend some money. He can hire a freelancer, the freelancer will do all work for him at a really cheap price. Thanks a lot.

Well they could start blogging about something they are passionate about and monetize their blog with adsense. And in additional do youtube videos and monetize with adsense.

I would recommend the coffee shop method and Seth (The Beast) Bias. He has a 30 day program which he calls the 30 day challenge. He has adopted a small group of us and are leading us through this step by step to help us get set up and get started making real money. I have tried other programs and nothing compares to this , it is second to none.

I would tell them to set there and let me do the work son. you are my boss!

Mostly good suggestions, but keep in mind this person is a novice. Uses the Internet for Facebook, Instagram, buying or researching products online and possibly participating in forums. Say a Green Bay Packer fan who posts on a GB fan board.

Ebay and Fiverr.

I'd recommend they listen through the hours and hours of great podcast series out there. Lots of very actionable, informed individuals that walk listeners through all of the basics. More than enough info to get started.

I like the idea of YouTube, but not everyone wants to play and extrovert.

I would say if they're in your house, let them help you in some way.

If they're not in your house, ebay first...(as others have said), if they can handle that then there are a number of things they can graduate to.

One question is whether they have to make money now, or whether they can afford to wait to grow something that would make them money.

My wife and daughters work with me, but it's not so they can all have a private income stream...it so that we can grow something together.

I take it you're NOT talking about that kind of situation.

I would suggest you that you start Forum Posting and article writing because it's the easiest job they can do. Being the Professional Web Developer if i can help you i will be glad. I can help you in starting coding because more money is earned in web development than article writing. SO here is my Skype if you want to learn you can contact e there i will teach you the simple way of coding and then you will be able to do the small jobs and earn money and those coding can be done y anyone..... feel free to contact...

Get them started by selling old and unwanted clothing, electronics, Toys, Video games, shoes, etc. On eBay/Amazon then work them into Fiverr once they master those skills.

If you are 100% sure they have ZERO talent, then I would recommend going down to the local store and getting a cashier job.

Otherwise, given your other parameters you have to ignore all suggestions above which are whats known as "following the money" as IMO that requires spare cash to invest. If they are cash poor, the need to be at least partially time rich. Otherwise, see my original suggestion.

If they have the time and are willing to put in ALOT of effort to learn the techniques AND implement them, then they should pick a niche/market on a topic they know well or are at least extremely interested in.

They they should learn about and create a customer profile for someone within that niche. What do they do on a daily basis; what do they buy; what do they search for etc.

Once they've got that, go looking for monetisation methods. So many options here so more learning & potential options totally dependent on the niche chosen. Some are affiliate sales, create their own products/guides, if their content gets popular enough they can join an ad network or sell their own advertising.

Then they need to research and learn about all the platforms upon which those monetisation methods exist & set them up (as a minimum). For example, if its affiliate sales they will need a website. If they are doing YouTube tutorials with pre-roll ads they will need a YouTube account. If selling Instagram posts is an option, set this up and start building that community.

Now start driving traffic to those monetised platforms by having a presence where your customers are. Don't forget, sometimes a platform is both a monetisation method & a traffic source. YouTube videos may have pre-roll ads plus then serve as a source for the affiliate links in the description.

Collate data. Test. Optimise....hopefully profit

I would tell them to get really good at solving a problem that is universal. Then I would tell them to actually help people solve that problem for free, gather testimonials, and the package up a step-by-step formula for solving that particular problem into an information product (ebook, video course, membership site, audio course, etc,,,).

From there they can focus on marketing their product, adding in more products to the funnel, building an email list, and just focus on scaling.
