Rags To Riches... Age Minimum?

**Physicsguy** · 10:07 PM

Hello,

After reading all these amazing stories about how even a 17 year old was making money nice and quick, it inspired me to try it myself.

I am thinking about starting... I just have a few problems.

My parents don't really think that I can make some actual money (like, $100 month like you guys

) and show that my site has some value, of course, my parent love my site, they think it's amazing, but I don't really know if I could make some cash off of it. My other problem is that I don't have a PayPal, Credit Card... You name it, I don't have it. I'm not like most of you guys here, being 18+ mostly, so therefore I don't have access to my bank account. I'm not some 8 year old that wants some extra money, I'm of a 'substantial' age, you could call it. I don't have any website friends at school, so I'm kind of alone on that one, nobody to talk to that I can share my web knowledge without sounding like a total loser nerd.

So my question is; how could I make some money without a bank account or an age over 18? I've only been coding for about a year now, but I'd be a little more motivated if I had something to work for (money). I don't have any money to help kickstart this thing (which is why I want this), because I've seen things where you pay a small fee for setup... I can't do that, I have NO MONEY. I'M IN RAGS!

I've releasing some new web software soon, but I don't think it's worthy enough of costing a few bucks or anything, so I'm keeping it free.

I'm willing to design websites, logos, and other web related stuff for people, and I am doing that, however, for FREE.

Take a look at my site - http://www.pgreviews.com - it's a review site that has much more than reviews on it, it's sort of one of those 'everything' sites.

So I'm feeling really inspired to show that I CAN DO IT, but I need to know HOW.

Thanks a million bucks! :P

You don't need a bank account to make money from Google Adsense. They will send you a check when your account reaches $100. You may need to be 18 years old, however. Not sure, you should read their terms of service.

Anyone with an email address can use Paypal, and you can apply for their debit card so you don't technically need a bank account for that either. Again, you should read their TOS, since there might be special terms for anyone under 18.

Chances are, you'll just need to get your parents to sign off on stuff.

That's what I was thinking to do, thanks!

Do you think my site is good enough to make some money, though?

Frankly I didnt like the color it may depends from person to person if you will change it will look more sober

**Physicsguy** · 10-24-2009, 09:58 PM

More sober? What do you mean?

You don't like the colour, what about it?

I think the website is to 90's. I feel you need to brush up on today's web standards (Web 2.0) this will attract more people and in return provide you with more money. Best of luck!

Ah, I see.

So what could I do to make it better? Tone down on the contrast? IDK, I like it the way it is now, but if everybody else doesn't then by all means - I'll change it! I don''t know what to change, though.

For your money problems. " You meant you are an undeage who could not have a bank account? You can make a paypal account and if your father,mother,elder brother/sister or even a friend got a bank account can get money transfered to the specified account. If it aint works for you. You can keep the order of your payments Via Western Union.
Use google adsense to get some ads.
Please change the background color it really makes difficult even to look at it. I, personally, dont like the name "Physicsguy" for your multipurpose web portal. If you are seriously looking to get real bucks you gota change things according to the standard and system. Make it according to the standard of online society not as per your domestic rule or interest. It is good for your family because being an issue you are at least doing something. But it needs improvement mate.

Well we are the same. Me too, no one believes that I can make money out of the net but unlike you, I dont have talents or extra services to boasts for. (maybe forum posting?) i believe I can make about $5 a day just by forum posting. I searched the net high and low for infos and job opportunities and I found a lot. I also have a paypal with me. Unverified. But still! I can receive payments. Mind you, Im still underage like you.
