    I want an idea to make money.
    Hello guys,

    I'm a 17 year old student. I currently study in college. I need some money, but I don't want to ask my family for it. I want to earn some money on my own, and therefore I was thinking of earning money online. Is there any job or idea that you know of where I can just open my web browser and do the taks and earn money. I don't need 1000's of £ just a few 100's of £ will do. Can someone please give me a direction of refer me to something that will make me start earning? Thank you.

    Note: I live in Kenya, Africa and I want a decent type of task

    It's not really that simple to make money online any more unless you have an idea, a product to sell or skills like coding or graphics..

    wash cars, do a paper round. They are the best ways, everyone else will be like ''oh im going to do coding and then do freelance work''......they never do. /thread

    Record a video in the midst of a new trend (ie: Cinammon challenge etc), upload it and hope you go viral. Or any stupid video that will draw in thousands. Or start and blog and get popular, or do coding for games like Minecraft which is insanely popular (if you can code).

    Unless you live in America, it's nearly impossible to earn money by doing tasks. Best bet for you is to go out and look for a real job, or look for any minor tasks you're friends and neighbours need doing.

    Get a job. Paperound? What do you mean by "decent" type? If you are young and with no experience you should be willing to get any job and not just "decent" jobs.

    Decent meant without pornography and nudity as those are the popular online jobs these days.

    Learn how to make websites. You can earn a lot from that. Or as someone said before, do youtube videos
