Online Jobs for Teens

If you are a mother like me and you have a teenager, you are probably tired of being asked for money all the time. I know I am; my son has expensive taste (think iPhone and video games). They never get tired of asking for money as they need clothes, expensive smartphones, gaming consoles, and whatever they like. It’s very hard to make them happy all the time, especially in this economy, and it’s not very easy for them to find jobs.

But thanks to the Internet, there are literally thousands of ways to earn extra cash.  Many online jobs are just perfect for teens.

So, if you want your teenage son or daughter to earn some extra cash and finally buy stuff they need themselves, it is never too early to start them on this path. I tell my sixteen-year-old son that nothing in life is easy, and I don’t expect things to always be handed to him.

If you are a teen, I am sure you will love these 4 online jobs, where you can actually make money if you put your mind and energy into them!

5 Online Jobs for Teens

If you have been searching for online jobs on the internet, you probably encountered many scammers trying to fool you into thinking making money is easy. That’s not the case today; these sites and methods are scam-free. The catch is that you need to pick one site or a maximum of two and give it all your time. You don’t want to spread yourself too thin and have nothing to show for it at the end of the day! With all that, let’s get things rolling!

1) Tutor Students Online

If you are at least 16 years old, there are many great sites where you can tutor students and earn really good cash. The best part is that you don’t need any degrees or experience in teaching!

You only need to be knowledgeable in a specific subject, and you’ll get paid cash to tutor students who need help. It’s a win-win.

One great site where you can find students to tutor is Tutor.com It’s a very popular website where teens make real money, and you could be one of them.

Teachme2 is another great site for tutoring online. The site’s concept is very simple:  You can earn $10 for every 30-minute tutoring session!

2) Start a YouTube channel

Making money with YouTube is a long-term process that requires lots of time and patience.

If you are looking for fast extra cash, Youtube is not for you.

But if you want to make some serious money that can come passively you want to start a Youtube channel!

There are many successful YouTubers, but there are also those who failed with YouTube. However, if you do things the right way, you will definitely be successful. I recommend starting with something you are passionate about or something you are really good at.

Check out the video below, this beauty’s channel has over 8 million subscribers, and in this video, she’s going to teach you how to start a successful YouTube channel.

3) Write Articles Online

Writing articles is one of my favorite ways to earn some extra cash online. There are many sites that are going to pay you cash for every single article you write.  I know what you are thinking, but I’m not a writer…trust me you definitely don’t need to be a writer to make money online writing.

If you don’t make grammar mistakes you’re already good to go!  But if you do need a refresher, there are so many free programs out there to help. Microsoft Word is still great!

Here are some amazing sites where you can start writing for cash!

• Fiverr (this is my top pick)
• Hirewriters
• ConstantWriters
• AuthorityContent
• Hubpages
• Helium

4) Online Surveys

This is  a great way to make money online. This takes some time, but if you stick with it, this can be a great way to make that extra donuts.  Surveys can take anywhere from to 30 minutes, the more surveys you take, the more money you can make.  Here is four that I recommend:

• Cashcrate (can make money by doing surveys or referring friends)
•  My Survey (can be redeemed for both gift cards and cash)
• Teen Eyes (ages 13 to 18)

5) Doing Reviews

This is the perfect job for teens…just think about it for a minute.

They are the users of so many products…electronics, etc.

So many companies will be happy to hire teens (their customers), so that they can know how well they are doing in the marketplace against their competitors.

Reveiws can be done at home on the computer, smartphone, or tablet.  Examples of reviews includes games (my son’s favorite) aps, or books.

I recommend, Review Me

Although not an online job, the good ole babysitting gig is still a favorite for teens to make some serious cash!

Bonus:  Become a Babysitter

If you are at least 15 years old you can become a babysitter and earn up to $18 per hour.  Many teenagers earn a lot of money by simply babysitting.  Babysitting interestingly enough is an industry that generates over 50 billion dollars in the US alone!  So there is a lot of demand and good money to make from babysitting.  You can search in your neighborhood for babysitting opportunities

Or you can check out these amazing sites that will bring all the best babysitting opportunities!

• Sittercity

Final Opinion

These are some great and very profitable online jobs that are just perfect for teens in my opinion

With these sites, you can literally make as much money as you want as they pay very well!

Before you apply to any of these websites though make sure you create a Paypal account to receive your payments as most sites use Paypal to send payments which is a very easy and simple way to get paid
