    I make websites and that, and get £132 a month currently (I'm 15).
    How did that come about Mike54?
    My son is talking about doing this(he is way more computer savvy than I)!
    I was a little worried about it, thought it could be a bit of a minefield.
    Any advice please?
    Thanks

    Very good website for learning the process of building websites. Takes quite a lot of time to learn the complete ins and outs but after a while its simple. But yes if he gets too into it then his school work will start failing, trust me lol

    However I would be suprised about getting £150 a month from making websites in this modern age.

    Thanks for that Lokolo.
    Hadn't considered the time factor! He becomes totally absorbed when something grabs his interest. Good point, lol.

    I was just wondering how an 13 year can up their income other than the pocket money. Now that there is all this insurance policies scattered everywhere it is virtually impossible for a young person to up the income.




    There's a good reason for insurance and laws to cover children working - it's so they don't get exploited. You have no protection under the age of 18 in terms of minimum wage either, so you're never going to earn your millions without a lot of serious effort.

    If you need more money and you're spending a lot above your means, and I'd suggest cutting back rather than trying to earn more.
    other than that paper-rounds are your best bet.

    Children are so materialistic now, it's so saddening to see.
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.
