Is there any way to make money on the internet? I have been needing money and have had quite a bit of free time to try stuff.

*Anything will do. I am decent at gambling and poker.

For liquid poker, can you cashout and do they give you a starting amount? Or do you actually have to physically put money into the game using your OWN money. Also if someone has some free betting sites for sports, feel more then free to give me a link. Just make sure that you don't need to give any money whatsoever and you can cashout at a reasonable price.

Well there was this website called google that made some money because of the internet.

Edit: but on a more serious note you could look for good ebay deals and resell them, one of my friends from high school made a lot reselling cameras

I'm usually not so blunt but, for what it's worth, you probably aren't good at poker at all.

You might think I'm an asshole now, but the sooner you learn this humility, the more money you'll save (and therefore make) at online poker if you do choose that route.

I've heard that can be pretty risky, you might want to consider doing something more stable if you want a steady source of income.

If you want to that badly you can make a ton of play money, and then sell the play money for a very low price in real money.

Or you can play freerolls until you win something.

Wow what a question.

Just fyi, there are much safer ways to 'make money from the internet' than gambling. And you aren't going to find something that effortlessly gives you income. You could make a website which provides decent content or a service and try and monetise that (You're going to need 'an idea'), or there are various ways to make money from affiliate marketing or ebay via reselling or dropshipping.

If you want a decent-ish resource for this kind of thing, http://www.wickedfire.com can be pretty informative.

Aren't you only like 14 or something? I don't know how you are expecting to make money from poker legally. I recommend just getting a shitty job to start b/c it is not like you have many options.

I got a job the day I turned 14 at McDonalds. It's not THAT bad of a job, especially for a 14 year old. I made plenty of bank working 2 days a week to be able to afford everything I wanted.

First of all you're 14. I'd recommend not starting to gamble now. Why? Cuz you'll eventually lose and need to finance the account and you won't have any real great way to do it. Plus the money you lose doesn't phase you as much because you don't spend it to survive and quickly you find yourself down $500 wondering where it all went.

Get a real job. It's great. You might hate it from day to day, but real life experience is really nice plus you get to interact with people rather than a computer screen. That always brightens the day. Seriously, I worked in a deli for a while and I complained about it, but after I left I felt like I had nothing to do and something was missing.

It's absolutely possible to make money doing random shit online (surveys, reviews, writeups, advertising schemes, etc.), but I'd be very impressed if you make more than $2 an hour. If you want money, get a job. If you want to waste your time, go on the internet. The two realms don't really crossover well if you're 14 and have no skills.

As soon as you try to make money on the internet, you are competing with the entire world. so there probably aren't many good ways to make any kind of decent money.

actually FuDDx isnt too far wrong, 14 is a good age to wise up (in my area). I seen quite a few poor people who didnt realise that young and slack.. and having to play catch up 5 years later. quite screwed up really.

Lets say I was payed minimum wage(maybe 6 dollars). What would be the minimum time for part time jobs that I could do? For example I probably couldn't work from 5pm - 7pm right? I would probably have to put in a good 5 hours per day yes?

Given the age, huge amounts of free time and probably not neccessarily the dependence on the income, I'd recommend you learn how to program. Start with webdesign, it's easy enough at the very low end. It doesn't pay as well as it used to (because everybody think they can do it), but once you get good you can earn a fair amount of money.

If you're up to it, move up to actual programming of web applications. There market is huge and ranges from crappy guest books to enterprise level applications, which can earn you a ton of money.

Money aside though, it's something constructive that teaches you skills you can transfer to many things that life may have planned for you. It'll look a lot better on your CV too than playing clicky-poker. It gives you a lot more options when it comes to looking for a proper job, including self-employment, start-ups (can be a lot of fun), and just about any classical industry. Web presence, marketing, networked apps keep gaining in importance in about all industry branches, so you could definitely spend your time doing worse things.

I for myself have been doing some webdesign and application development on and off since I was, hum, maybe 15. Now at 26 I'm close to finishing my PhD (nothing to do with the www though), but at the same time own an internet start-up based on a web-application that I have developed together with a friend of mine. Despite the fact that I was doing it on the side, it's been quite successful and would pay for both of us as a full time job if we wanted. It's true what somebody said above, on the web life is tougher (mainly faster) than "irl" because you compete with the rest of the world, but at the same time you have a lot more easy opportunities. So if you don't have to invest anything other than some free time, it's definitely worth a shot. Hell, even if my company had turned out not to be successful, the lessons I learned doing it were more than worth it.

I don't know how to program stuff and don't have anyone who can mentor me I actually do video editing in my spare time, but I don't really know what to do with it other than learn what I can do. I have found out it takes a great amount of creativity to use what Adobe After Effect has to offer and I need to get used to that

Become a human google person at chacha.com you just have to hunt down a person with elite status to send you an invite. Basically you get paid to find things on google for people that are too stupid/lazy to find it themselves. I had an invite a while back, but never signed up for it. Something you can look into.

I didnt know how to program either, nor did I have a mentor. That's not a show stopper at all. For many of the popular languages there are many good books and a TON of information on the web. Whole books, examples, tutorials and what not. If you really want to, then nothing's stopping you. That said, it'll probably take a little while until you'll earn hard cash if you're just starting out.

If you want some extra pocket money without investing first (time mainly), then there are lots of small jobs, be it wal-mart, paper delivery, burger place and so on. Maybe not lots of money, but reliable, and gaining you a bit of independence (which is probably one of the things you are looking for, from what you said about your parents). If you go for one of those, look for jobs with people interaction, i.e. be behind the counter instead of at the burger grill. Not only is it less boring, but it teaches you a few things too.

You said you do video editing. I don't know how good you are, but let's assume you can do a fair job, then that's something you could look into too. As with learning something new (be it programming or close-up magic - which pays lots of money too btw), it'll be a lot more effort than signing up for burger-chain-x, but be a lot more rewarding because it's your own thing. I'm thinking offering a service of professional editing of amateur wedding/birthday/graduation/whatever film material for example. If you can find someone vaguely talented and in possession of a digital camera that'll also open a lot more opportunities. A couple of guys around here run a media&marketing company, producing film and video clips, mainly 2-3 minute trailers for websites, but they also get booked to film at weddings and other private occasions.

Start small, try offering the service for free to friends/relatives if there is the opportunity and see how it plays out. If you can see yourself doing that, and the customers like it, maybe that's something to do on the side.

A final word though: in terms of cash, starting your own business never pays much at the beginning, and usually requires a lot of effort. What you gain is satisfaction, in addition to the pennies at the start. If you're up to it, go for it, but if it's just about the cash, then sign up for somebody else's business. Good luck ;-)

It's cool that you're looking ahead at such a young age. If you decide to go down the programming route as some have suggested it might be slower to give you income at first but as stated above it can become very lucrative later.

Not having a mentor shouldn't stop you, there are tons of resources/tutorials online. Also, TL has a fairly large number of programmers (myself included) that I'm sure would help you out if you post problems. To get you started, here are some resources:

First you'll need something to write programs in, an IDE. Thankfully Microsoft offers free versions of their IDE for a variety of languages here:
- http://www.microsoft.com/Express/

I would recommend learning either C++ or C#, probably C# as it's easier and quicker to get things running. I think you'll find it less frustrating as a beginner. Depending on what you want to do, different tutorials will be required.

A suggestion, if you're interested, is to make games using C# and the XNA framework. It's very easy to start making games, tutorials are very easy to follow and cater to people that have had no programming background, and it can be fun to do. You can get a complete walkthrough and everything you need to get started here:

http://creators.xna.com/en-US/

I think you'll be able to stick with it far more easily if you do something you enjoy, so if game development has ever interested you then this might be your thing.

Good luck, feel free to PM me if you want more help or post here and I'm sure someone will help out.

I smell a lot of emo teenage angst bullshit here, especially that line about how your parents aren't good parents and joke around when you ask about a job. That's just bullshit. You probably think they're bad parents and blahblah when in fact there's nothing wrong whatsoever. Your comment reeks of misunderstood teenage emo-ness that's usually due to not having a clue about reality.

How can you be so clueless about a job? You expect this shit to be handed to you? Go do some research and do some of your own work, especially if you have so much free time. And no, you won't find anywhere where they let you work 2 hours a day.
You are crushing me like a cheese sandwich
