Answer 1

A website I use is CashCrate, and it's free and pretty easy. It's safe, and they don't let any personal info out. You have to be at least 13 years to join.

Make sure you get consent from your parents first if you're under 18 years.

Answer 2

try writing. magazines need articles from readers.

every month there are articles they will pay you for: poems, recipes, helpful household hints, photos, jokes, comic strips, essays, arts/crafts, and more!

go to a bookstore or library and just look thru all the magazines (especially women's); look for the opportunity or guideline pages; write down the submission info.

here's a few i submit to:

http://rd.com. most want new articles, but reader's digest will pay for previously published stuff that you find in other magazines! ($100-$300).

southern living magazine: recipes, $20.

family fun magazine: kid's craft ideas, $100.

family circle magazine: household tips, $50.

http://bhg.com: monthly recipe contests, $50-$400!

What about babysitting, yard work, recycling cans/bottles, walking dogs, painting, house cleaning or farm work?  These are all things that my teen has done.
