My 12 Year Old Son Made His First $190 Online

Yes My 12 Year Old Son Made His First $190 Online. It started with a bit of a lecture LOL..

My sons spend a lot of time playing around on the Internet, but never seemed to think about using it as a tool to create an income. As I do not like being pushed around I try not to be too pushy with my kids.

One day I couldn't keep it in any more and I told them a few things and for once a couple of them at least seemed to listen.

So my second youngest son who is twelve has been playing some games online and has traded a lot of virtual things on his account.

So after my little pep talk he found a website where he can sell his virtual online gaming rewards and started listing a lot of them, in one evening he listed a total of $400 of stuff.

And in his first evening he made his first two sales $25, Now a few days later his listings have made him a total of $190 in sales and he continues to add more stuff to sell.

I hear adults all the time talking about how difficult it is to make money online is, the truth is with a little bit of imagination and some effort. Anyone can make money online you just need need to find out what is working or what is selling and take some action steps.

The thing is if a 12 year old can create a few listings on a website and make $190 in a few days so can you . What are you waiting for.
