If you’ve ever tried to make money online, you’d know how difficult it can be. So, it seems natural to want to know the easy way to make money online. Well, the easy way to make money online isn’t the best way to earn money and it definitely won’t make you rich. They say “you get what you paid for” and if it’s easier, it’s probably not very high paying, and that is true.

But you might hear gurus talk about how they barely work on their online business and get to travel the world, spend more time with their friends and families; basically go out all day and do very little and you wonder “how on earth do they do that?” These guys have surely found the easy way to make money online.

To tell you the truth, this wasn’t always the case. Virtually all of them started off doing the ‘hard way to make money online’ but building a product or service from, hiring several people to put their products or services together, paying a lot of money to these people, then hiring more people to write a sales page, the website, then integrating that with a shopping cart … it just goes on and on.

From a teenager’s point of view, you’re really best off staying with the easy way to make money online, otherwise, you’re going to have make a lot of sacrifices to earn a ‘real’ income online. But if earning an extra $20, $50 or even $100 a day seems OK to you, then you definitely stick with the easy way.

Because I can you tell you from experience that this is very possible for you to do as a teenager. Doing paid surveys regularly can help start off this goal and will begin a guaranteed base income for you. Then, you can start to set up a website for free by going to places like Blogger.com or WordPress.com and quickly write a quick review about the paid survey site. Once you’ve done this, you can insert your referral links all over your site and whenever signs up to the paid survey site, they will become your referral. Every single time your referrals earn money, you will get a percentage of their income. Your referral income will also increase your paid survey income even more.

But in order for you to get referrals, you need people going to your website. How do you do this? The best way for a teen to do this is to simply tell your friends and family about it. If you have a decent number of Facebook friends, or a big list of friends’ emails or lots of MSN contacts or whatever similar, you can tell all of them to visit your site. Or even better, email them your referral link and tell them to visit the site where you get paid to do simple things like fill out forms. This should really boost your referral numbers, literally overnight, and that will hopefully get your paid surveys income to snowball.

Once you set this paid survey method up, you want to start diversifying your income sources. Of course, plan to do a specific thing every day, like 2 or 3 daily surveys a day and motivate your referrals often so that they earn money. When they earn money, you earn money. So after this, you can go to Amazon’s Mechanical Turk and sign up as a worker. You can do simple tasks like selecting the best category for a product or transcribing some audio and getting paid for doing these simple tasks.

There are other places where you can earn money pretty easily. You can get paid to click or view ads at Neobux or Clicksor and you get can get paid to post on forums at Pay Per Post Forum.

All the things that you do from this should add up and you should be making some pretty good cash by now (for a teenager that is). The harder you work at this, the more you’ll get paid.

Remember to never give up and be consistent in what you do. This is one of the keys to success online (and offline) and you’ll be glad you did!
