different ways to earn money that you can do at any age, from anywhere in the world, and without any initial investment. These are ways that anyone can make money, so they're perfect
for teenagers. They're completely legal ways to earn money, and you can do them from home. I'm fully aware of how teenager, mainly because I started in this whole world of
entrepreneurship at 16, and I've been in the situation but you don't know how, and it's a pretty unpleasant situation, to be honest. Today, I've managed to earn several million euros thanks to
online businesses. And in this video, I'm going to tell you ways to earn money that actually work. I don't want to waste your time, so let's get video. The first way to earn money as a teenager is to use
Shooter Stock. I'm sure most of you know this website. It's really famous, and it's basically a website where you can download all kinds of images. As we can see here, it's used
a lot by both entrepreneurs and companies that need a specific type of image for...  An ad for their website or whatever, and hire a photographer to take the picture, etc., etc. They have all kinds
of images. For example, I'm going to search here... well, dogs. We search and we have a ton of images of all kinds. Right now you're probably thinking, "Okay, Adrian, this sounds very interesting. But how am I going to make money?" Well, basically
commercial purposes. Companies are going to use them to make more money, and we can see here, they have subscriptions that companies pay for simply pay a certain amount for
use. So what we can do is sell these images. scroll to the bottom and click here where it says "Sell Your Content." We click, and here all the information appears. The interesting thing is
that this company needs all kinds of images. I'll give you the example of Toño Díaz, who is a person who professionally creates these kinds of images to then sell them. On this website, he has a lot of videos in
which he explains how he does all this.  If we scroll down here, we can see this video where he explains how he went from zero to earning $000 a month selling stock photos. What I did was contact him privately using
Instagram and ask him how much money he started earning because he's now an expert photographer, but when he started he wasn't. He told me that when he began he earned between $ 30 and $50 a month using that
strategy. Of course, it's not a huge amount of money, but I think it's a pretty next way to earn money as a teenager is by using Robert. Robert connects people who have dogs or cats with people who are
willing to take care of them. It's really interesting. We simply go to their website and click here on Search. And if we come up here to the left to the services, we can see
website. The first service is dog walking; we simply click on it, and then they have the services for taking care of dogs or cats. In dog walking service, which is...  Like the most typical
we would simply enter our city—in this case, I've used Barcelona as an example—and a lot of people appear offering this service, and the price they set also appears here, in this case, 5, 15, 15, 10, etc.,
etc. So, the way to earn money with Rover is simply by offer dog walking, you can offer to take care of a dog or cat at someone's home, or you can even offer
to take this person's dog or cat to your own home and take care of it for a few days. Robert is available in the vast majority of available in your city, I'm going to show you other websites where
you can earn money in the same way so you can check them out if RER isn't available in your city. Aníbal is a person who uses RT to earn money, and in this video, he explains how he earns 1000 a week
using this application and website. And the truth is, it's quite explains all his strategies, and what he does here is...  Show us his results earns. It's also important to understand that Aníbal lives in the
of apps, you're always going to earn much more money than you Latin America. But I think it's a pretty interesting example to see that you really can earn money with this app. The third way to
earn money as a teenager is through education. This might sound cliché, but it's absolutely true. If you get an education, you'll have more skills and therefore end up earning more money, either with
a job—since more education means more skills and job—or simply through entrepreneurship. With skills and a higher probability of success with your
business. The problem is that education costs money, and if you're a teenager, you probably don't have any. So my recommendation is that you sign up for the free " Emprende al Día" newsletter, which you can do
description. You'll receive the latest news and updates every day.  Trends entrepreneurship, and you'll also receive new business ideas and new ways to earn money. Basically, you'll receive updated information
completely free. So, if this is something that interests you, you can sign up link in the description of this video. The next way to earn money as a teenager is by using Kik. Kik is a new social network like Twitch that was
launched relatively recently and is quite interesting because when a new social network is launched, it's much easier to grow than when it's been around for several years. For example, it was easier to grow on TikTok a few years ago
when literally everyone is on it. But obviously, we also have to keep in if we start on a social network since we do n't know if it's going to take off or if, on the contrary, it's not going to work very well.
Kik works very simply; it's quite similar to Twitch. the people who are live streaming, and if we enter one, we can watch their stream, we can write to them, we can...
Subscribing is basically the same as on Twitch. To earn money with Kiik, we obviously have to create content. To earn money, we have to face, etc., etc., and we're going to earn money thanks to subscriptions. What
are subscriptions? Well, basically, people are going to subscribe to our channel, and we're going to receive income every month thanks to the subscriptions. The main difference between Kiik and Twitch is the percentage
that the platform itself takes. Subscribing to a channel costs $ 4.99, and in the case of Twitch, they keep 50%. Basically, 50% goes to Twitch and 50% goes to the content creator. In the case of Kiik, the
creator keeps 95%, and only the platform keeps 5%. I example of this streamer called Action Man, and basically, he posts this
tweet in which he thanks Kiik for facilitating the payment process, and basically what he says is that on Twitch, to achieve these results...  He managed to earn 8,000 in a month, which is crazy! He'd need 16,000
Twitch subscribers. But on Kiik, he only has, in quotes, 7,000 subscribers, and with 7,000 subscribers, he 's generating this amount per month. So, I interesting, and it's something we have to keep in mind. The next way to
earn money as a teenager is through transcriptions. I'm going to show you a website called GoTranscript, which is one of the most famous days, with all the talk about artificial intelligence, many
companies and people still prefer to pay a company like this that has real humans behind it, dedicated to offering this service. What exactly are transcription services? Well,
basically, it consists of converting audio to text. What is all this used for? Mainly for translations and also for subtitles. This is the company that offers it, and if I were a company and wanted this service, I would come
case, what we're going to do is offer this service.  So we have to scroll all the way down and click here where it says "Work." the job. They tell us it's available worldwide, and here they
tell us the prices. They're paying us around 60 cents per minute of audio or video that we transcribe. The average earnings per month, based on their
based on their database, are basically $50 per month, and one of the this makes $ 1,215 per month. So if this is something that interests you, you have to understand that it's not easy at all. This job isn't
simply listening to audio and transcribing it; they're going to give us do the transcriptions correctly. The next way to earn money is to use Etsy. Etsy is a website where we can sell
all kinds of products, and it's a website used to sell digital products. What is a digital product? Well, we simply go to Etsy, and we can see several examples. For example, here we can see people who
digital products, and once...  You buy it, and they're simply going to give it to you so you can use it for whatever you want. In this case, it's focused on birthday themes, so you can make birthday invitations or whatever you
want. And there are really a lot of types of digital products. So you're wondering, "How can I make money with all this?" Well, simply by creating digital products and selling them. And something very interesting is
that you can create a digital product once and sell it digital product, you won't have any production or distribution costs. So it's quite interesting. A while ago, I uploaded this
video in which I teach step by step how to create seven digital products So if that's something you're interested in, I recommend you watch this video. I also want to show you the case of this girl, and basically, in this video, she
explains her experience creating a shop on Etsy where she sells digital products. It's quite interesting because she shows her here. In the video, she shows how during the first month she billed
75.87, and as time goes on...  As the months go by, he takes it more seriously. He shows us that he managed to generate $ 6,600 in just one month, $ 6,600 in just one month, $
selling digital products on Etsy. So I think it's a business model that certainly isn't easy, but it really works. The last way to earn money as a teenager is by using Toloka. Toloka
is a free website where we'll do various tasks and get use; all the information is here. The tasks appear, and there are several types of tasks, some related to images or
videos, text, and audio. Something I'd like to emphasize is that if we speak English correctly, more tasks will appear, and therefore we'll earn more money. I'm sure, or almost
earn money that most interests people, since it's the easiest and fastest way the way I would use the least, because if we come here, someone sharing their experience. Using this platform, this
website, and it says that he managed to earn 21.95 in a week, in 7 days, using this platform. I understand that for some people this might be a lot and for others it might be a little, but the truth is that if you put in the effort and work
hard for a week, I think you can earn considerably more money doing other business and something more sustainable in the long run. So, this would be the last way to make money
as a teenager. To conclude this video, I'd like to emphasize that making money as a teenager is really difficult, and I say this because I've been in that situation and I know how it feels. I've been there, and I know that it's certainly not
and I know that it's certainly not shown in this video are methods that really work and can allow you to generate your first online income. And something else I
