step 1Hard Labor

We can't proclaim to give a list of ways to make money as a teen unless we check off all the old standbys.

You could...

  • Mow lawns
  • Shovel snow
  • Do basic landscaping, such as trimming things (that aren't grass)
  • Deliver papers
  • Clear gutters
  • Rake leaves
  • Dig ditches
  • Clean cars
  • Clean windows
  • Housework (Dusting, Hoovering, Sweeping)
These are great, but some people want to avoid these just because you need to know people generally to make these work. That's where the other steps come in.

Good idea on customizing, if only my dad would start building that CNC machine, I could start making custom pencil holders.

I sell assembled TV-B-Gone units for about %25 profit. I started with $100 seed money for the first batch and kept on re-investing it into each batch. I made $350 profit from this venture.

"On older computers it is an actual switch, but on new ones it is just a "suggestion.""

Whoever wrote that doesn't really know anything about computers... press and hold for 8 seconds and it turns off.  That's basic computing knowledge.
Mar 21, 2010. 8:47 PMdsman195276 says:
 It's 7 seconds, and no. On old computers it's a physical switch that turns the computer on and off like a lamp switch. On new computers the power button functions like any other button on the keyboard. 

Yes in most situations, holding the power button will turn it off, but in really bad situations, that can be disabled and the computer won't turn off.

Or, you could just flip the power switch on the back of the computer, next to where everything is plugged in.. The problem is if you don't give the computer time to turn off, you can lose data or damage your hard drive (the magnet "needle" will erase some of the data)
May 24, 2010. 8:58 PMdsman195276 says:
You could wait until you stop hearing the hard drive spin to turn it off that way, that should prevent any extra data being erased. I'm not amazingly familiar with how hard drives work though. I would imagine that ether way your going to lose data because all the RAM is going to be cleared just because you powered off, and who knows what all was being stored in there while you were working on it(Though most programs store there edit copies on the hard drive it seems.).
Jun 29, 2010. 9:20 PMIan01 says:
In a power failure modern hard drives will use the rotational energy of the spinning platters to write the data left in the cache. This cache is usually 16 or 32 MB, though, so it might not be able to write the whole file.

Thats nice to know, thanks for telling me. Is that a standard thing, or is it somewhat new?

Anyone know how much you can sell old GameBoy Advance games for at GameStop?
Jun 23, 2010. 7:58 PMzach816 says:
Umm, If I was you I would try either newegg.com or glyde.com, gamestop will probably give you about ten dollars, when glyde may give you 25

Locationary is a site owned by Moola where you earn money by pretty much copying and pasting addresses....pretty easy. It's actually even better thatn Moola as they pay you money immediately whereas with Moola you have to wait around 20 weeks. Joining Locationary is by invite early so here is my invite link: http://www.locationary.com/web/join.jsp?n=julka
Jun 9, 2010. 1:21 PMaijek says:
Currently the site is in its beta version which means that at the moment you don't paid yet for your added locations HOWEVER, you do earn shares and tickets everytime you add a location and the shares that you acquire can eventually be sold for profit or cash. The tickets that you earn can be entered into money raffles. I just joined yesterday and I've already made $2 purely from the prize drawings. Everytime you hit the $5 mark you can opt to cash out your money. Pretty easy and simple.

I'm tired of teens breaking their backs in scorching heat to achieve minimum wage! You can make an excellent income online if you play your cards right. If you haven't checked out richat16.do.am yet than help yourself, and do so now.

Moola isn't a scam because many players have gotten their checks, some players have earned over $100 in one day, and there are so many moderators devoting their time to making the Moola forums better. If moola is a scam then why would so many moderators spend so much of their time trying to improve the community?

If you look up "Received Moola check" on google or enter a similar search string, you'll see that there are MANY people who have gotten their checks. Some checks with values over $100. Now, if you join moola and look in the trophy room section of the forums and click on a thread titled, "Show your Moola checks" You'll see that EVERY player or at least 90% of Moola players have gotten their checks.

Not only have players received their payments, they earned their cash pretty quickly. The average long term Moola player earns at least $10 a day within an average of 5 hours. If you look at what players have posted on the Moola forums, you'll see that the statistics I'm presenting are true. The top player currently has over $8,500 and one player has been known to cash out $1,000 multiple times for a total of nearly $20,000. Once again, if you don't believe me, join Moola and look in the forums. These are from players who have been established Moola members. They weren't there for a few days. They have been there long.

Last but not least, there are so many Moola forum Moderators who are always trying to find a way to make Moola a better place and if Moola was a scam why would they help new players so much? If you don't believe me, join Moola and see for yourself, the community is great, and one should join not only to make money but to socialize.

Oh, one more thing, Moola isn't a get rich scheme, it's not all about making money. It's about fun, so just join and enjoy yourself. Why spend another hour thinking" Is Moola a scam?"

When you think of the word, "Scam" you think of something dark, manipulative and bad, sometimes deceiving. If you take a close look at the Moola community, you'll see nothing deceptive or dark. Only good.


My moola name is dominator194 and my referral link is here: http://www.moola.com:80/moopubs/b2b/exc/join.jsp?sid=4d544d744f446b324d6a593d-2

If you found this helpful, feel free to post your thanks in the Moola forum. See you there.

I have a suggestion for those that don't want to work hard (but this will risk some money)...investing?

Or you could look for money on the ground!  :)
