Teen Writer         

If you are talented in writing, you could be a teen writer. And, you can get paid from magazines or websites. If you are not good at writing, you can practice writing. Write whatever you feel like writing, whether it be teen fiction or anything else. It really doesn't matter what you write, as long as you're writing.

How to start? You can try to start out writing for your school paper (articles, opinions or short stories). You could also try submitting to local writers' club anthologies & teen magazines often have a reader submissions section for poems, short stories, etc. These won't be paying jobs, but they might get you noticed. Also, if you are good at basic copywriting & layout, you can get people to pay you to prep their resumes. You'd be surprised how many people can't manage that on their own.

If you aren't published, start small. Pitch ideas to local or regional magazines to get your name out there. Then you can spread your focus to a nationwide scale.

Also, never underestimate the power of writing a book & photcopying or printing it yourself & selling it locally & online in 3-ring binders or as an e-book. I know more than a few people who have found writing success this way. It's easy (once you get it written) & becoming increasingly popular. You can even get an ISBN for it. If it sells well, a wholesaler might pick it up.

You can write for money online. With the internet, there are quite a few options for people to make money, but the easiest way for anyone to get started is to become a freelance writer. Find a site that you can submit your article to.? Some sites will pay you for your article up front, but most will pay for page views.
