Popular Online Jobs for Teenagers

You might think it is difficult to find online jobs for teenagers as most online companies require a person to be at least 18 years of age. However, there are online jobs for teenagers who are under the age of 18 years old.

Take Surveys

Having a survey taking job is the easiest and straightforward option to make extra cash online. These involve paid surveys that are organized by online market research companies that actively seek out the opinions and feedback of the public. This can include movie surveys, health surveys, entertainment surveys and even focus groups. There are several survey panels that welcome a person who is at least 13 years old.  Once you have created a personal profile, you can start taking paid surveys. When you take surveys, you can be rewarded in cash or points or even gift cards. Points can be redeemed for PayPal (cash) or other gift cards like Starbucks, Amazon and many more. To get you started, here are a few popular and trusted sites: CashCrate  and SurveySavvy. The typical compensation is $2 for every survey completed and it takes about 20 minutes or less to complete a survey.  In addition, CashCrate is also a Get Paid To (GPT) site; therefore, your teen can earn money for doing other cool activities like watching short videos, playing games or adding new apps on their smart devices, etc.   Another GPT site that your child can use is InboxDollars.
