    Thanks guys.
    I've been on other forums and even had many of my own for a few years, actually. I also write good English, so I think I'll start posting for money.

    What's the going rate per post?


    PS: Do PLR articles/products sell well? I found a site to get free stuff that allows me to resell those things, for a profit. Do people reject these here or..??

    $.10 per post, usually. It's a bottom tier way to make money, but I guess if you're 15 years old making $10 a day isn't too bad.

    $5 would be great for me :)
    Would like to make $5-$10 a day, buy a vBulletin (experienced with forums so I'm going to do many things in the gaming forum niche) and hosting, and try to sell some ad space.

    Good idea or terrible? :D

    Definitely go for it man, I think a lot of people wish they could have started webmastering early on so that they'd be doing very well for themselves by the age of 20. If you work hard it should only take you a month or two to rack up the money, and you'll be hanging around here so much you'll learn a thing or two from fellow webmasters. :)

    I think you're going to need a verified Paypal account to submit payments, though. Can you get hold of a debit card at 15...?

    Also -
    How much money do you think I could make by selling logos and avatars and signatures? I have been using photoshop for around a year and I can make decent stuff.

    "How did you start making money?"

    Pimping whores :D

    No seriously, it was from SEOing adult sites and making money from sad fuckers who wanted to watch ugly bitches get drilled.

    Eh, it paid the rent. Then I got galloping knob rot from one of the whores and put an end to that career.

    So I just become a professional SEO instead.

    I miss the good times *sigh*.

    Hit up elance.com if you want to make some money with your programming, writing, or photoshop skills. It pays a lot better then forum posting for sure.

    I started making money from this forum itself. Did some services for people, later got involved in forum posting jobs.
