Most companys that pay you to advertise for them (ex.adsense) require you to be atleast 18 years old. Im 16 so is there anything I can do other than wait till im 18?

Have your parents/guardians sign up and get them to give you the revenue...

Can't you do it with parental permission? Correct me if I am wrong. (I most likely am )

AFAIK, http://www.bidvertiser.com doesn't ask for your age, and you can slap the funds straight into a PayPal account. Whether it's yours or not is a different matter, as you've gotta be 18 or over for that kinda stuff. I'm 15, so what the heck?!

Halo recently told me that you don't have to be 18 to have a Yahoo account...

You could use a custom ad rotation script and charge people to advertise on your site through paypal? (Not sure how old you have to be to use paypal..)

Again, 18. I'm not sure if you get asked how old you are on signup though, it was so long ago I can't remember.

Custom ad rotations are good but you seldom get any people interested.

[Futingkiller]

the best way to do that is for your parrents to sign up for it and give the income to you .
if it wasn't for the money you could have sayd that your 18.
i am 17 so sometimes i hit same problems

[Demonslay]

Well, technically there isn't an age limit to Paypal, as I have a Paypal account, but you just can't really do anything with it unless you're old enough to have your own credit card or bank account to connect it to.
I'm 14 by the way, lol.

[Matthew.]

Achually the front page (or registration page i cant remember) states you must be 18. No one takes a blind bit of notice of it *blink* but its still there lol

[Wolfe]

I got my parents to set up a bank account in their name and I connected that to my Paypal..

Of course, your paypal account's income, generally, just sits in your paypal.. so I got a paypal card, too. That gives me a handle on all my money. Because you get the card with the bank account, also.

So you're, either, looking at lieing or using your parents as a middle man. I'd go with the latter, personally.

[Concept X]

its the same with everything that says you gota be 18 people don't listen, doesnt really matter anyway

[Wowzers]

Thats odd. because i had adsense and I was 16... The terminated my thing because someone hacked my site and deleted everything and when I put up a returning soon pic wth a link to forums they removed me from it.

[Wybe]

You have to be 18 so they can hold you responsible for stuff. In case you're not 18 but still signed the "contract" and something happens, things could get ugly for you.

As always, when something happens...

[Erik Bernskiold]

The best thing is naturally to get your parents to sign up for you, and many parents which is used to the net does that for you

So that is really the best way to go, unless as Wybe said, you want things to get ugly.

[Al3x]

You can use paypal no matter what age. As for everything else involving age requirements you can usually sign up with Parent's Permission or if they have a credit card then the money can be transfered from them to you. The internet is a complicated thing. The alternative to all of this is to wait until your 18.

[Erik Bernskiold]

You may be able to sign up to pay pal (I don't really remember if there were stated age requirements, dad signed up for me) but you sure can't use it until you connect a credit card to it and the account holders name should be the same as the credit card holders name, which generally means... you have to be 18 or get parental permissions.
