Easy Money For Teens

You're probably already familiar with the hard way for teens to make money. It goes something like this... You turn 16, and get a job at a local fast food joint. It's your first job and you're glad to get it. A snazzy uniform, a little training and you're all set.

That's all fine and good. It will give you some work experience, and start you on the road to being an independent adult.

But it's a lousy way to make money.

To start with, it only pays minimum wage or maybe a little more. With the price of gas (and everything else) being what it is, that's just not much money. And there's only so many hours you can work with school, sports, and everything else you have going.

Even if you could work all you wanted, management would probably limit your hours. They don't want you getting 40 because it puts you in a full-time category where they might have to pay more benefits. And they sure don't want you working over 40, as they would have to pay you time and a half for overtime.

So your income is pretty limited... And it sure isn't easy money. Whether you're mopping floors, running a cash register or cooking up greasy French Fries, work goes pretty slow when you're paid by the hour. But there is an easy way for teens to make more money... a lot more money. We're talking enough money to buy a car, travel, pay for college... anything. You could even make more money than your teachers and parents! Wouldn't that be a trip!

And we're not talking about making easy money by selling drugs. This is both legal and moral.

It's called "Affiliate Marketing" and involves selling all kinds of stuff online in exchange for a commission. The beautiful thing is that once you have your marketing campaigns set up right, they run 24/7... pretty much on auto-pilot. You can make easy money while you're at school, hanging out with your friends or even in your sleep! Keep in mind the easy money comes only after your campaigns are set up right. This can be challenging, but you have some natural advantages during your teen years.

For one thing, you probably grew up with computers at home and school. That's a huge plus when the main tools you need for Affiliate Marketing are a computer and an internet connection. Another thing: You know what's hot and what's not for your generation. The music, the clothes, the cell phones. You don't have much research to do... You live it!

And third, your mind is currently "programmed" for education. Learning what you need to know to make this work should come natural to you... And it's a lot easier than trig or chemistry!
