    Like anythig you get better with experience. Marketing is alot better than watching adult videos.

    It will be the best thing that he can learn how to do.

    Be a young man, and make money on his own!

    I also think you should give him a bit more freedom about what he wants to do and stuff... its not a nice feeling having someone behind you back everytime like a guard...

    once in a while check how he is doing, if he isnt involved in something dangerous...

    Definitely help him! I understand your concerns, but if you're watching over him and mentoring him then it should be alright.
    Every parent wants their child to succeed, and this is a good way for him to get a headstart. Learning business and marketing strategy at such a young age, even if he doesn't make money or fully understand yet, will help him in the future. :)

    Your signature says you've got a method that earns a definite $100-$200 per day on the interwebs. If you're confident in that, why not have your son do it?

    Nah, let him play footy or maybe learn to fish. Plenty of time if the interest persists! Lot of net input in schools already imo..;)

    I don't know, do you want him to start making money running a porn site or setting up a cam site? :p

    If your son as asked you. Then let him. It if obvious he is interested himself. Pushing your son would be wrong, however he IS interested so I say let him.

    The younger you start the better you will be later on. :)

    Let me lay out a couple scenarios for you here:

    A) You can be the cool dad and let him start earning some money online which will boost his self esteem, give him something productive to do, and be another way for you both to bond. You also get to closely oversee what he's up to and make sure he doesn't go astray into something unsavory.

    B) You get to be the jerk dad and say no and disappoint your son, in which case he will most likely end up trying to do it anyway.

    What could it hurt? If I were you I'd have him signed up under my affiliate rev share links by now!

    lol yeah, he won't be doing any porn or cam stuff ;)


    Actually, we decided to let him use my wifes Associated Content account and start the same method I'm using with writing and outsourcing article writing. I have a source where I get well written, keyword rich articles for $1.00 for 400 words, so he will be writing some of his own articles and then having others do the rest of the writing.. We figure that because it's what I do fulltime we will be able to work together every step of the way. This should make for an optimum situation for both he and I.

    He's really excited and so are my wife and I to see how he does!


    If you guys are interested, I can turn this thread into kind of a "journal" thread and update you guys with how he progresses.


    Thanks again everyone for all of your help

    Duc

    Maybe if you let him in slow, let him get started on a blog or some ad post. its good that he has the spirit from a young age but if i were in your place i would not let him into hardcore money, just a little of this a little of that, i fear if one gets the smell of money at a young age, they forget the value of education. you wouldn't want that to happen would you :)

    peace out!
