How do you make money online as a teenager?
Making money online is still fairly in the wild west era when it comes to who can do it. There isn't really an age restriction attached to it so really I'd imagine anything an adult could do, you could do as a teenager.
The first thing I'd consider is an online store like an Etsy shop or eBay and connect a service like Printify to it for print on demand. You could sell something like stickers or t-shirts on demand and probably turn a small profit every month.
The second thing you can try is learning to code, you go to a website called w3schools.com and learn the big three programs, HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Just download Visual Studio Code open up a youtube tutorial video and start coding along and learning. Your biggest hurdle will be remembering all the syntax. Once you've learned it you can sell your services on Fiverr or Upwork or go independent and build websites for other people at like $500-$1000 dollars a pop. Coding a website will probably take you less than a day to do once you've learned how to do it.
The third thing you could do is make youtube videos. If you can market yourself as a go-to guy for information in a particular niche and you could generate a decent-sized audience. Youtube channels with 1000 subs usually make $100 dollars every 2 to 3 months depending on the niche. That can obviously be scaled even higher if you can get a lot more views than the minimum it takes to get monetized on Youtube.
I don't recommend this next suggestion at all but you could always do online surveys. But those just won't be worth your time. You might make $10 or $15 bucks a month. But the hours you'd have to put in to get there won't be worth it. You can try the mobile-only service Attapoll. It doesn't really matter which platform you use there all the same in my opinion.
If you have a passion or something you want to talk about you could start blogging. No better time than to start right now and you could do what I did and make a blogger. Like with Youtube you just need a good niche, something like finance could make you a lot of money from Google Adsense.
All in all, there are no shortcuts to making money online just finding something you could devote your time to and scale up. Ultimately I'd recommend doing an Etsy/eBay store with Printify, doing Youtube, and making a Blogger website. You could talk about your products on Etsy/eBay on Youtube and post your videos to your Blogger website and write small articles also talking about your products. It would be slow at first but you could scale your Etsy/eBay store to epic proportions with Youtube videos for sure as long as you can generate an audience and get the views, watch hours, and subscriptions. It's not a guarantee but definitely a possibility.
