Doc’s Answer

Keep your parents in the loop. Many online money-making opportunities will require your parent's help when setting up an online business, and it helps to keep them informed so as to stay safe online as a business or entrepreneur. Consider setting up a separate email account, avoiding malware, and only sharing information with trusted sources when necessary.

START A VLOG
Vlogs are hugely popular and could help you to earn a decent amount of money. However, it can take time to build up an audience and start generating income with this method. As a YouTuber you'll earn money though earnings based on how many people subscribe and like their videos. There are a lot of different platforms that can be used, but YouTube is one of the best teens can take advantage of. It is easy to get started, and there are a lot of great in-depth guides you can follow. Choose what you want to vlog about and then start recording, so make sure you choose something you are passionate about.

BLOGGING
While it’s true that blogging can be used to earn an income, it’s not something that will help you “get rich quick.” You need to build an audience that wants to purchase items from you before you can start earning any money. Finding a niche can be tough or feel limiting but will help you build stronger credibility in the long term. You can certainly talk about more than one subject but make sure your main focus is consistent and specific enough to draw readers in and encourage them to keep reading your work. Two popular platforms for blogging are WordPress and Bluehost.

BECOME AN INFLUENCER
Influencers can earn a lot of money through social media, and you could become one with the right know-how. You'll need to develop a large following in order to be classed as an influencer. This means posting content that people love and want to follow. I encourage you to think about what type of influencer you want to be, such as a beauty or fashion influencer. Then, upu can start to work on building up a following on your chosen platform. Once you have an audience, brands will pay to advertise their products. The amount of money you can earn from these advertisements will depend upon how well known you've become.

SELL STUFF ONLINE
If you’re asking how to make money online under 18, entrepreneurship and selling stuff online is an excellent option for kids 16 and older. You can sell arts and crafts or selling old belongings through eBay, websites like Decluttr.com, or an online marketplace like Amazon Marketplace (a marketplace incorporated into Amazon, but for third-party sellers) or Facebook Marketplace. Teenagers can pursue their own online business if they get serious about selling.
