Do not give any strange site your name, address, age, phone numbere, etc.
These sites do NOT pay - they are scams.
They take your info and sell it for profit.
Online work at home scams are mind boggling to say the least....

Even though I've made money on legitimate sites for surveys, you're to young to participate at 16. Sorry.

That does make things rather hard...

Well, Maybe you can babysit in your house? Like, if you know any close family friends, people from church, or word of mouth? You can post an ad on Craigslist & offer babysitting (just run all this through your mom first!!). Its much safer if you knew the people, or if its on a church bulletin.

There's a site where you post pictures (how ever many you want), & it'll pay $0.22 per every 1000 views. It doesn't seem like much, but if you have 100 pictures & know where you can flash them over the internet, it'll add up. After loading the pictures, it'll create a format code for Facebook, Ebay, etc... Where its a small thumbnail clickable tab. The only kind of work I'd imagine is finding a place where you can traffic alot of views. The website is: www.shareapic.net/user/xthat1gurl

Can you make videos on youtube that will bring in a ton of views? There's something from Google called Adsense where they'll pay you to advertise in your videos if you have alot of views. But you definately will need something that'll grab alot of people's attention. There's youtube videos that'll talk about Adsense so you'll get a clearer idea how its works.
Videos that'll grab people attentions are how-to vids. Like make-up tricks, hair tricks, anything on beauty, how to make hairclips, guitar... Just think of the kind of youtube videos that you watch. There's a guy on youtube who sings (not very good) but that's why its funny & there's a ton of views.

Also, if you're creative and make unique things, there's a website called etsy.com
Its like Ebay but without all the auctioning. Its gotten real popular. But you can literally make ANYTHING & post it up for sell. You can do a search on there, & see what kinds of stuff people are selling. Its crazy whats on there.

But really, there's not too much else I can think of other than that... I hope that helps you out!




There's a few options there...As far as actual jobs online- just be careful. Don't ever pay anyone for a job online- that's has 'scam' written all over it..

Good luck!
