How can I make money as a teenager?

Really, Kaneboy? I (21) have been turned down by the likes of McDonalds and KFC simply because the other applicants were at the ages of 16-17. Simply put, they'd save money employing them on the minimum wage instead of me where they'd have to pay £6+ per hour.

It is hard to find a jobs now a day but dont give up. Just keep looking, also it is important to have a big networking with other people cause it does help sometime.

This probably sounds daft, but when you do walk in to a store, who do you ask about job vacancies? Do you just walk up to the counter where people are trying to pay for their items and ask? I know at Tesco they usually have a customer services counter, so I'm presuming you ask there in that case.

Thanks.

Online will be your best shot. Search Tesco jobs, I believe the majority of big name retailers now require the first step of application to a job via their website.

Last summer I made around $50 on fiverr, however there is way too much competition, and the website is over-saturated now.

Affiliate programs generally suck big time. Also, that Twitter method isn't bad, but it's something I knew about before, and it takes a lot of time. There are people milking fiverr on the other hand, with little to no work.

Step 1: buy a chavy looking hoodie,jeans and trainers.
Step 2: shave your head
Step 3: buy a knife and learn to speak like a chav, 'you get me blaaad?'
Step 4: wear your new clothing, armed with your new lingo and knife and go find some OAP's to rob.

Simples :smile:

I create websites and sell them on, it's pretty good and fun, if computers is your type of thing, I recommend learning some basic hosting knowledge, seo knowledge and Wordpress knowledge and work on it, if you don't like computers much then I'm sure you can work in shops now.

you could form a extortion racket?

look for some illegal loan sharks and ruff em up?

or rob drug dealers?

you could commit tax scams by exporting goods and then reimporting them without paying tax?

Go to the surveybods website and register. It's quick, simple and every so often they send you an e-mail to notify you that you can do a survey, it only takes a couple of minutes and is worth a couple of quid. Very easy money. Once you do enough surveys surveybods pays £25 into your bank account.

everything seems too competitive these days. toooo much saturation in the areas I have been hunting. too many people are doing the same thing too fast which leaves little money to be made if you catch on late. :mad:

You can make quite a bit of money through TopCashBack, without having to actually pay for anything, although the free offers are not always that regular it's definitely worth being a registered member.
