One of the best ways to establish a passive income business when you’re a teen is to use Google Adsense. Google Adsense allows teens to make money while they’re at school, concerts, or hanging out with friends. Some teens are making hundreds or even thousands of dollars each month using internet ads like Adsense. This is something that you can and should build over time. It’s not an overnight get-rich-quick scheme. But you will make money, just keep at it. Write 1-2 articles several times a week after school. Place internet ads and links on those pages. Keep it up and you should have a genuine business over time.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Learn to research keywords. Go to Google.com/services. Click on Adwords. Then click on a link where you can search keywords or find keywords. Select keywords that are highly competitive, pay well per click, and are commonly searched. If your keywords meet these critieria, you are well on your way to establishing passive income.

  2. Step 2

    Learn to write articles. Insert 3-5 keywords into each article, using each keyword or keyword phrase at least twice throughout. This is what is known as creating a “keyword rich” article. A keyword rich article is more likely to draw web traffic than one that is “keyword poor”. The key is to sound natural when you write using the keywords. Don’t cram too many keywords into your article or stick your keywords in strange places.

  3. Step 3

    Write original, high quality articles that provide useful information. People don’t want to read the same thing over and over. Provide something different yet useful from what you see on other sites. Consider writing articles about what you already know first. It’s a simple, yet encouraging way to get started. Try writing for Ehow.com or start a website or blog (see step 4).

  4. Step 4

    Consider starting a niche website or blog. The key is to find a niche, or subject, that people will buy items or services that are related to that niche. Create a series of articles that tell people about that niche, how to do something about that niche, or any number of other useful hints and tips. Place appropriate Google Adsense ads within the pages of that site or blog.

Tips & Warnings
  • Don’t forget to place affiliate links as contextual links (within the text of your article).
