So you want to make money and you are a teenager or at any age. I think it is so much easier today to make money than when I was growing up. To give you some context, I am not that old lol but when I was growing up there was no YouTube or making money from the internet. I didn’t get the internet till I was a teenager so I know what it is like to have no internet access till today the internet is everywhere. Is today teenagers should be taken advantage of the things that have today. These days your hobbies can make money and it does not really matter what hobbies that you are in too.
Teenagers change their minds so fast, it’s hard to keep up with them since the world change so fast. Keeping up with the new tech can be hard but it’s doable. I have teenagers in my family and the things that like should be ways they make money. But before I began telling you please tell your parents before making any money online or offline or starting any business under the age of 18. I just have to put that out there.
What hobbies are you in too?
In todays time, anything you do can make you make. The one I like is playing videos, yes you can make money playing videos, something I could not do when I was younger. This can be done with little to no money but I would get on a site like https://www.twitch.tv/ and start a free account and start streaming the games that you play. I would say to be decent at the game but play a game that you are good at and you know a lot about.
Twitch will record that content for you to download to your computer. I would get some editing software like https://filmora.wondershare.com/ or filmora which is a one time fee of $60 dollars than edit the video. If you don’t know how to edit videos you can watch some YouTube videos like this one: https://youtu.be/sURH2CxmaXQ that you go over how to use Filmora which is the software I use.
Then edit the video and upload to YouTube and yeah you should have a YouTube channel right now. Over time with you uploading videos, you can really build something and once you get 1000 subs to your channel you place ads on your videos. I would sign up on affiliate networks like https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/ and get your affiliate link and find products that you use while gaming and promote that on your channel.
YouTube:
YouTube is free to start and free to use. The first thing you should do is start a YouTube channel. Finding a hobbies can be hard to do but, you like something and that something can be a hobby. I think hobbies are thing that you do to past time. Anything can be a hobby but can that hobby be showed in a YouTube video? If the answer is yes than you should start a YouTube channel based around that hobby.
If you know how to draw and you can show people how to draw than you can make videos about drawing and you don’t need expensive camera equipment to do so, you can use your smartphone. The how to’s videos are the best cause people goes online everyday looking for help with something or that don’t know how to do something so that may find your content online.
One of the best parts about making YouTube videos is that once your video is on YouTube, it’s on there forever as long you have that channel, that video will remain online. So 3 years from now, people will be still watching those videos which will make them assets. If you have any skills, those skills should be online. If you have things you want to sell, than selling on https://www.ebay.com/
One way that I am started to see is that you can go to yard sells around your area, look at the things they have for sell, you online to how much they are selling and if they are selling at a lower price at the yard sell than online, you can buy from the yard sell and sell that online.
A lot of people don’t do that but that is a way to make money. Also with that yard sell buying and flipping, you can have a YouTube channel showing how you find the yard, how you look the prices of things online, how you but then sell online to make money. Now I just give you something you can make money from right now and you can build a brand from just buying and selling online that is not hard. Just think if you had a blog that can go along with your YouTube channel.
With social media there is nothing that you can do. The thing that you need is traffic. You need people looking at your content and you need people to look at what you are selling. If you don’t want to be on camera then start a blog. Blogging is easy to do and set up with Bluehost which is a hosting company for websites.
You if want to check them out you can click here: whatever you can show people should be the thing you can blog about. Since blogging takes time to build up, you can do other thing in the meantime like build a business, start blogging, start a YouTube channel and start building a brand on social media. All these thing will take time but if you start producing content now, you will reap the reward in the future. Plant your seed today.
