Full Version: Under 18
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 
)
)
You can just say your 18....

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.
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

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.

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 
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.

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

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.

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.
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.

If it absolutely requires you to be 18+, ask your parents for help.
Well.. I've been using Paypal hooked up to a student account (16-17) year old along with a Visa Electron.

Yeah that's probably something more better then me killing myself, it's faster. And your parent's won't also kill you after they find out us doing something they say it's illegal. It's hard to me to explain to my parents the whole website money making online game, hah. Tell me, no seriously how do you tell a parents about what you want when you can't describe stuff when you're 12?

Poor you, and you have to wait 3 years. Well I guess I'm should kill myself first, I have to wait guess how long 6 years, I'm 12 in a half. And already dying. So many site's now in days require "18 and up," crap. That sucks, and I can't get paypal till I'm 18?

That isn't true at all...
Now, I don't know the specifics to paypal and all, but I have a paypal account and I am 17 y/o...
I signed up for it when I was 16...
and I know for a fact that you do not need to have a credit card or equivelent to use paypal...
I had the account linked to my bank account...
When I want to add money to my paypal accout it comes straight out of my bank account... (takes 5 days for me tho... lol)
I have been using the account for ages, and I haven't had any problems (except when I didn't have enough cash in my bank account).
I live in Queensland, Australia, if it makes any difference.

You have to be 18 for things like this because minors cannot be in contractual agreements with somebody. Also, minors cannot be taxed and most companies have to file any payments they send you on their taxes with your SSN.
I suggest, getting your parents help you. I've done it for 3 years now and now I'm finally " of age "
Good luck.

There's the key statement in the TOS for what I assume is PayPal. Generally, under 18 can not enter into legally binding contracts in the U.S.

Tighten your bra and just say your 18...
I've always had a paypal account, just make sure you keep your wits about you. Example when I transferred to a premier account they asked me AGAIN how old I was, I nearly put in 17 but changed it quickly.

Got my dad to hook me up, haha as long as I give ad space and sell his shit, then he pays my hosting (for now) and paypal account.
(I'm previously 16, now 17 this past may) But have been doing it since I was 14/15ish.
I'd ask a parent, but if your really desperate, keep your wits and say your 18. Just dont be S.T.U.P.I.D. If you know what I mean

But you have to be in the US, which sucks for the rest of the world.
For adsense I just get them to make the payments to my parents bank account and signed up in my parents name. Then my they just give me the money when it comes
It's so much easier than this you guys!
To start off with, how many websites exist that advertise/sell things? i guarantee you that about 1/3rd do not pay taxes and that an even larger amount are not registered as businesses!
secondly why use paypal. or electronic transfers at all? checks and money orders work great, and you usually don't need anything but a bank account and an id to cash a check!
finally....ad sites suck! they don't pay you much, and you lose a lot of it in taxes. so what you should do, is make your own ad rotater, and accept payments of checks & money orders...DONT DO CASH THOUGH!!! you want this to be slightly tracable so that both you & the person/company you're dealing with have the security of knowing they aren't going ot get ripped off.
But, if you're worried about legality/getting caught...don't do that and either wait, or get an adult you trust to help you.
peace

i definately had a paypal account when i was 15, and they caught me when some1 sent me money, i actually didnt know, but they limit your account, you can transfer any money to your bank account, then hope it doesn't close by the time you're 18, lol
