    Mate,

    Look Up caleb Spilchen, hes a young Guy Like you that sells online and make good money.
    His old's are in on the deal

    He may be able to give you a good insight into how to deal with that issue.

    If You are really concerned then bring in a JV partner that can put their name on everything and help you with the legals etc.

    Good luck mate I wish you every success!

    Oda

    Just out of curiosity, why would you want to hide what you are doing from your parents?

    I know a pretty good marketer who happens to be 13 years old making a pretty good living online and his parents support what he does.

    One of the best ways to go about owning a business is honesty.. If you build your business based on a lie, the chance of you attracting any kind of success will be slim to none.

    However, if you are honest at what you do, The Universe will reward you accordingly depending on how much belief, desire and gratitude you show about receiving what you want.

    Tell your parents. It will probably make life easier down the road.

    I can understand why he does not want to tell his parents. Yes, most of you wouldn't be afraid of telling your parents what you are doing because you were raised differently. His parents could interpret what he is doing into something that could get him into trouble down the road. Like getting scammed, or spending money online and not receiving what you paid for ect ect. If I was in his position, same age and stuff and dealing wit my parents.. they would be skeptical and try to make it harder for me to do what I needed to do, If they thought what I was doing wasn't the best of interest for me. Like take internet away or something. Parents want to see you doing good in school and preparing for college or finding jobs, so when they "Hear" that you are making online.. they think its bullshit bcz you have to be super smart to do that. Anyways some of our parents haven't caught up with the times. I remember when I was 16, I tried telling my parents I was doing affiliate marketing and how it worked, and they didn't want me to do that stuff and thought I should focus on school and getting a job. I was making 100-200 a month back then. And now at 22, I helped them buy a house, 2 cars.. ect.. They like hearing about my job when I come home and don't get skeptical about how I made $600 today lol. Anyways, just keep it on the low for awhile man, Im sure your parents will be fine with you doing what you are doing, but you need to figure out the right place / time to tell them.

    I can relate to that a lot. I know from back when I was younger my parents didn't understand it very much either. One of the biggest hurdles I had starting out was my parents with their negative thoughts, mainly my father, which tends to impact you a lot if you don't have your head screwed on straight with the goals you desire to meet. However, I do feel as though when the time is right, he definitely needs to let his parents know what he is doing. At the same time, I also feel as though while it might be risky, being honest with his parents might also help his situation. You never know until you try and he will never experience it unless he does take that risk.

    Either way, if you are able to get your business off the ground, I solute you. So many people are moving from working at a job to trying to make it online and realize after a few months that it is a lot more than just pushing a button and making money. You have to brand yourself as an authority as much as you possibly can if you want your business to thrive in this industry. Let's face it, starting out as a newbie, being 16 years old there are A LOT of distractions that he is going to have to worry about besides his parents.

    One of the first things he's going to suffer from, which is what almost everyone starting out doing at the beginning is information overload. It's a common situation, but one that needs to happen to a person for them to re-evaluate their goals and get back on track and hone in on what a person wants out of their business.

    You should be upfront with your parents about it. As far as Clickbank goes, they do not reveal what you are selling through them and if I am not mistaken, the first month or two they will send you checks. Then after you reach a certain threshold, you can opt for payment through PayPal or direct deposit to your bank.

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!

    lol, this is awesome! If you're 16 and already selling stuff on Clickbank then I can't wait to see where you're at by the time you turn 21. If my son did something like that on his own I'd be super proud of him. Don't sweat it...they will appreciate your drive and ambition :)
