Making money online is a hot topic. Everyone wants to, of course, but few have the dedication to put a lot of time into this and then see it pay off. Most of the people think it is as simple as spending 30 minutes everyday doing whatever to make millions as the internet ‘gurus’ claim but soon understand it isn’t that easy. Many follow the right method, but drop the idea before it makes a few bucks.

And it is even more interesting when it comes to children, myself included. Spending an amount of time at the computer, making money, getting the money, etc. seems wonderful, but it isn’t that easy.

In my opinion, Making money online for kids :

• is harder than for adults because most of the really fun programs require you to be over 18.
• is easier than adults because you don’t have a job or anything to deter you, and could spend more time on the PC.
• could be more fun, since children find better ways to make money online like playing games, etc.

Okay, enough said. If you are still there with me, I can take you through some of the major ways through which you could make money online :

• Blogging : One of the best ways to make money online from, if you want to. If you don’t really know what a blog is, remember that what you are reading right now is a blog post from a blog. Some more background info here.
• GPT industry : Short form of ‘Get Paid To’. GPT sites are those which pay you to do certain things, such as do certain offers, buy something, fill out surveys, etc. It is a vast industry, which can provide something more than pocket change if you try.
• PTC industry :Short form of ‘Paid to Click’. This could have been said as a part of the GPT industry, but now it is bigger. Simply put, PTCs pay you to view an ad for a certain time. Some people make hundreds of dollars per month from the major PTC sites.
• Gaming : Online games are a good way to spend some time. But there are many sites which pay you to play the games. Could be the best for you if you feel that gaming is your area of choice.

That’s about it. It’s not the end of the topic, for there are countless more ways, which can’t be said in a single post. Please do drop a comment if you like this post. I will try to elaborate on each way of making money. It’s my favourite hobby as well.
