Money Making Tips for 16 year olds

Options
Hello,
I am 16 years old and I ami nterested in earning money online. I am currently a member of several survey panels but I was wondering if there was was anything else that I could do online. I am also a member of a few cashback sites.

I already have a part time job at a pub but I was wondering if there was anything I can do to get a bit of extra income.

    Why not try review writing for www.dooyoo.co.uk? I think you might only be able to get amazon vouchers rather than cash until you're 18 but you're definetely allowed to be a member either way. You get paid 50p for every review you write then 1.5p for every rate you get from other members. It takes about 10 minutes to write a 300 word review and another 20 minutes to read and rate a few others. So okay, it's about £2 an hour, but it's worth it as a bit of extra I think.

    I just had a quick look at dooyoo and some random clicks brought up this review.

    http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/personal-hygiene/durex-extra-safe-condoms/1093277/

    Will he get paid for that cr*p?

    WARNING: The review in the link above contains swear words and is not suitable for minors to view.

    However, it's not just the swear words I am asking about, it's the writers grasp of the English language that concerns me.

    :eek: I was shocked when I read that. Do they have a moderating system or are funds added automatically to your balance?

    Me too, and I must say my original warning was not strong enough! The link should only be followed by adults who are not easily shocked.

    I don't know, that is one thing I am hoping to find out. If that sort of review is normal for the site then I don't want to be using it.

    It's not normal. I've been there a couple of months, and it's the first of that type I've seen.

    Funds are held onto for 72 hours after reviews are posted for this reason. I suspect he'll get yanked pretty soon.

    That is definitely not a normal review. I've been writing there for about 18 months on and off and thats the first time i've seen something as awful as that. Your account has a section called pending funds and its just for that reason. Keeps us all on the straight and narrow. I'm with shewhoguards, he'll get his account stopped. That's definitely the worst review I have ever read!
