online jobs for teens

Are you looking for online jobs for teens?

You have exactly come to the right place!

Internet has made it possible for anybody living in any corner of the world to make money from the comfort of his/her living room!

But!

Most of the online portals and websites require you to be at least 18 years old!

But you need not to worry as 90% of the websites mentioned in this article accept teens under 18 years of age.

All of the ways mentioned in this article are 100% legitimate and people are making a lot money through these them,

Well, to make the things easier for you I have divided these ways in categories.

Alright lets get into the list!

Online jobs for Teens

Here are 9 types of online jobs for teens,

1. Online tutoring jobs for teens

make money online tutoring

A lot of teens are really good at studies and they are always looking for online tutoring jobs but unfortunately most of the tutoring sites don’t accept teens under 18 years of age.

But! I have found 2 sites that are legitimate tutoring sites and allow 16 year olds to join.

These two sites are,

Same Speak

Same Speak is tutoring site that connects people willing to learn English with people willing to teach them.

If you have a strong grip on English language (which I assume you have), you can a make good amount of money every month teaching English on this site.

In order to join this site, English must be your first language and you must have a Skype account ready.

They pay $10 per 30 minutes session.

Tutoring is mostly done via Skype and you must be willing enough to dedicate few hours every day.

Skima Talk

Skima Talk is also a tutoring platform like Same Speak that hires people (preferrably native english speakers) to teach people willing to learn English conversational skills.

The tutoring is done via Skype chat, in which you teach the other person and get paid about $10 to $15 an hour (a rough estimate)

Signing up is free but you would have to pass some tests to get approved. These tests are taken to test your English skills.

2. Freelance writing jobs for teens

Writing is the most demanded online skill right now!

Reason?

New companies are establishing every second day and they want content writers and copy writers for their content marketing campaigns.

Not only new companies, old companies also keep on hiring new individuals every second month because of increasing customer needs.

Now I now most of you must be thinking like,

“I am not a good writer, I can’t do this!!!”

Are you thinking like that?

Then you have a misconception about content writing!

Content writing is different from traditional essay writing!

It’s not about difficult vocabulary and complex sentences!

Content writing is just like talking to a person in a friendly and engaging tone.

Content writing is for web readers and web readers like easy to read articles with simple English BUT with an engaging tone!

Just like this article, I am actually talking to you guys rather than writing walls of text.

If you are really interested in starting content writing, first start by choosing a niche like travel, personal finance, home improvement etc.

Copywriting is a little different from Content writing as it involves writing sales copies which require you to have a knowledge of human behavior and convincing power to attract the attention of the customers and make them buy the product or service.

Copywriting is a skill that can be learnt, here is the book I recommend if you are interested to learn copywriting.

Alright coming back to the topic,

Down below are the 4 best freelance writing job boards that you can join today for online writing jobs.

A lot of freelance and permanent writing jobs are posted in these job boards everyday which you can apply for.

7. Affiliate marketing

Are you familiar with affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing involves promoting the products or services of some other company and getting commission per sale or lead.

It is by far the most profitable way to make money online as a teenager and people are literally making millions of dollars through it.

Keeping the profitability apart, it is also the most convenient way to make money online if you have a blog. I personally make money through affiliate marketing from this very blog.

There are a lot of companies that do affiliate marketing but some of the most notable ones are Amazon, eBay, Airbnb, American Express and Nike etc.

Now most of the companies that do affiliate marketing, don’t handle their affiliate program themselves, rather they join third party affiliate networks that host their affiliate programs.

As an affiliate marketer, you have to join these affiliate networks as a publisher and promote the products or services of your choice.

Down below are the five best platforms you can join to start your affiliate marketing online business,

Amazon Affiliate program

Amazon has an affiliate program that allows you to promote their products and get a commission of 2% to 8% per sale depending upon the type of product you are promoting.

Here is the commission chart for all the product categories.

You can join their affiliate program for free over here.

The best way to promote their products is through a blog. First make a blog on a niche let’s say landscape photography, then write articles about your niche and review different DSLR cameras in your articles. When someone would buy a camera through your affiliate link, you would get a commission.

Check out this step by step guide to Amazon affiliate marketing here.

Clickbank

Clickbank is one of the most renowned affiliate network that connects publishers and advertisers

It has a huge collection of physical and especially digital products in a lot of niches that you can promote and make money.

The best thing about clickbank is it’s commission rates which are from 20% to 60%, better than most of the affiliate networks out there.

Best way to make money through Clickbank is to make a blog and recommend Clickbank products to your visitors.

Flexoffers

Flexoffers is an amazing affiliate marketing platform that connects big brands with publishers from all over the world.

You can join Flexoffers free of cost but you need to have a website or a blog for that so I recommend you to start a bog, write few articles and then apply to their network.

I am also the part of this affiliate network and I got approved last year.

Flexoffers has a huge range of advertisers and you can literally promote any brand you want and get healthy commissions.

There are mainly two types of offers on Flexoffers, Cost Per Action in which you are paid when you drive a sale for a company and Cost Per Action in which you are paid when you generate a lead for some company either in the form of a sign up or subscription to a free trial.

Let me give you an example of a Cost Per Action offer,

Skillshare is an e-learning platform that pays the publishers $10 when they drive a free lead for them in the form of a subscription to their free first month trial.

I hope you get it. If you don’t, you can ask me in the comments below.

There are a lot of other affiliate networks but for beginners like you, but the above three are the best for anybody starting affiliate marketing with no experience.
