Anyone know how a teenager can earn money online?

I'm a 16 year old from Africa and have actively been looking to make money. I have tried a few things like online surveys but they don't seem to work. Any ideas of what I can do?

If you have a working computer and a few other things (like a microphone), you might be able to create a course of some kind. You could sell it and earn money that way.

The question you should ask yourself is: "What kind of value can I offer (in that course)?" or "what kind of Value can only I offer?"
And generally, you need to make sure that there is also a need for that course. Nobody wants to pay 50 bucks for a course on how to use umbrellas.

Btw, have you read MJ's books? You should start with these at some point, they'll teach you a lot

A course is one idea

I haven't tried making courses yet, so I pretty much have no knowledge of it.
Perhaps inform yourself with video guides or I think @Andy Black might be able to help.

No, sorry. Also, I doubt anybody (serious) will instantly collab with someone who joined like yesterday.
I think you first have to show at least some results before you can expect somebody to work with you.

Entrepreneurship is about providing value, rather than finding quick ways to make money.

If you need the money right now and you have to focus on the short-term, then the best course of action is to learn some skills, start helping people, and get paid for it. Since you want to do this online, examples include: web development, programming, graphics design, copywriting etc.

Avoid doing surveys or getting paid to click on things, your time is much more valuable than that. You are much better off investing into an actual skillset that will push you forward in life.

It looks like you have:

• An internet connection.
• Excellent English.

Do you have a computer or just a phone?

Can you download someone's long-ish YouTube video and edit it to create vertical YouTube shorts / TikTok videos?

I believe CapCut is a good video editor, and free.


This might have help too:

Copywrite is a good skill to learn & sell!
Some advice: keep your hands away from gambling/tradeing

With a goal to landing the original video owner as a client of your short-form video creation service...

You'll learn video editing which is an in-demand skill, and how to publish to YouTube,TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, etc.

These are skills that people could hire for, and that could help grow your business.

Isn't this very risky and requires leverage?
