Online Jobs for Teenagers
Watch Online Ads
Getting paid to watch ads sounds like a scam.
But rest assured; it’s not. In fact, it’s a quick and easy way to earn extra cash just for using your smartphone or laptop. It’s not much of a time investment, and you can get paid to watch ads in short bursts of time.
How much you make depends on how much time you want to invest, but it’s reasonable to expect anywhere from $5-20 per month in payouts and rewards. Some of the apps or websites offer bonus categories that can increase your payout. While the payout method varies, most offer the option to redeem your rewards for gift cards or via PayPal.

Get Paid for Reviewing Songs
Calling all music lovers!

Part-time Online Survey Jobs
The dreaded surveys you might not want to take, but you can earn some cash from just answering the questions. Surveys have a bad rap for paying so low, but when you are in a bind and want to earn some extra money, they can come in handy for a short time. After all, they aren’t meant to take the place of a full-time job.
Read Books to Get Paid
If you like to read books or skim them quickly, you can get paid for your honest quick review. It does not have to be a positive review, just honest.

Most payouts currently range between $5-$60 per review.
