You just need parental consent.  Below are some of the great opportunities to work online, but we’ve also created a full database of online jobs for teens that expands on what you see here.

Selling Crafts Online

Selling Online on the Etsy Platform

If you are good at crafting items, then you may want to open up a retail outlet on Etsy. You will require your parent’s consent if you are under the age of 18 years old. In addition, if you are younger than 18, your parent or guardian must manage your shop.

Selling Videos through YouTube

YouTube

If you enjoy producing videos and posting them on the Internet, then you can also make money through YouTube. Typically, you will make money by using this outlet through ad revenues. So, the more people who see your videos, the more you can potentially make.

In order to make this happen, you first need to open up a YouTube account. Next, choose a category for uploading your videos. Categories might include, for instance, tutorials or product reviews. Once you have received some views for your videos, apply as a YouTube partner. Stay consistent and regularly upload videos while monetizing them. Work at drawing traffic through social medial channels and pay-per-click. If you take this approach, you should make around $20,000 annually after a period of about two years.

Taking Online Surveys

Teens can also make money by taking surveys online. Panelists can sign up as long as they are at least 13 years of age. If you are under 17 years old, you will need your parent’s permission. Teens who are at least 13 or 14 years old, you can sign up for the following panels:

• YouGov (at least 14 years old)
• Valued Opinions (at least 13 years old)

Tutor Students Online

You can also make money tutoring online. For example, one site, Enroll, enables you to sign up as a tutor on just about any subject. You can take on this assignment if you are at least 15 years old. Therefore, if you are knowledgeable in a certain subject area, this type of work might be for you.

Direct Sales Work

You can work online and off-line for companies that offer direct sales opportunities as well. However, you also usually need to provide an upfront investment – typically for a starter kit. Nevertheless, if you commit yourself to a program, you can start earning commissions on your sales after you make the initial investment.

Work as a Virtual Assistant on the Internet

Older teens can also find work as a virtual assistant. This work-at-home job is a flexible way to use your computer, typing, and communication skills. Applicants normally need about two years of commercial experience and should be able to work during the workweek, or from Monday through Friday.

Most platforms that hire virtual assistants also require that applicants work part-time and supply their own computer and office software. For example, Virtual Office Temp offers this type of opportunity. The platform also sponsors a certification program to strengthen your skills and open up your job opportunities.

Starting a Blog

While you may feel like you’re too young to start a blog, the truth is that there is no minimum age to do such a thing.  If you enjoy writing and are interested in a particular topic, you can start a blog on that.  As an example, let’s say that you love books.  You could create a blog about that and review books, or maybe you could create an online book of your own and your website visitors could read it as you write it.  Plus, the WordPress CMS platform makes this all very easy to accomplish with free and paid-for themes.  Considering WordPress powers 42.3% of the web, it’s the best and easiest platform to get started on.  It takes about a year to succeed with a new blog, but with patience and persistence, you can create a blog that develops a following and will eventually make you additional income every single month.
