What's the most effective way to make money as a 13 year old?
How could you increase your income as a 13-year-old? I've done lots of digging online, but it seems that most of the websites only allow people 18 or older to use it. The websites I can use would barely give me any profit. Should I take a different approach, like doing chores, and yard-working to make the most profit, or should I do something like post videos online for people to watch?
