How Can A Teenager Earn Money Online For Poetry Writing?
- 31 Comment
If you’re fortunate enough to have been blessed with a talent for poetry writing, why not try to earn some money from it? As many experts will tell you, earning money from your hobby or passion is one of the best things that you could do. Because who knows? Maybe one day you can turn your passion for your hobby into a full-time living. So if you’re wondering how can a teenager earn money online for poetry writing, you could be on your way to earning a living from something that you love.
So to answer the question how can a teenager earn money online for poetry writing, one website you can submit your poetry to is AC. AC is a website that will pay you upfront for the poetry that you submit to them for publication. In fact, they will pay you anywhere from $3-$20 for your poem. Moreover, they will even pay you ongoing residual payments for your work. So not only do you get paid an upfront payment for your poetry, you can also earn money month-after-month for life! Not bad for doing something you enjoy.
In order to get the highest payment for your poetry at AC, make sure that when you submit your poem, you submit it as an exclusive. By submitting your poem as an exclusive, you’re telling AC that you have not published your poem elsewhere. when you do this, you will receive a higher payment for it.
Signing up for AC is quite easy, however, to earn money through AC, you will need a Paypal account – as they currently only pay through Paypal.
Also, if you’re wondering how can a teenager earn money online for poetry writing, another website that you can check out is Online Publishing. At Online Publishing, a teenager can earn money online for poetry writing through the residual income that they pay you each month for page views. Online Publishing doesn’t divulge exactly how much you’re paid, however, they promise that the more page views your work receives the higher your payment will be. Therefore, to earn more, you will need to market your article the same way I discussed in How to Earn Quick Money Writing Essays. Online Publishing pays you via Paypal and in this respect, they are similar to to AC. However, overall, if you want to know how can a teenager earn money online for poetry writing, AC is your best bet because they not only offer you and upfront payment for your poetry, they offer residuals as well.

With AC you do need a paypal account to get paid by them. And I don’t think that they’re going to check to see how old you are.
As long as your work is good then, that’s the most important thing. If age thing is really an issue, then try to get your parents or an older sibling or other relative to help you. Get a little inspiration from reading this story.
After you sign up with AC and submit one of your poems to them, they will reply back to you and tell you how much they can offer you for it. Then, you can start earning pocket money from your poems. Try it to see how it works.

AC doesn’t pay upfront for poetry. They pay upfront for articles, but not poetry or prose. Additionally, you have to be 18 to receive payment from AC as well. I love AC, but I don’t want anyone to be surprised when they discover they can’t get paid until they are 18 or that poetry will not pay upfront.
Keep writing!
Love and stuff,

hi my name is tishawn and iam just woundering if this is a real deal or just a scam because I have been writing poems for almost my whole life. so if someone can fill me in on something that will be very kind. Thank You

Amber said:
Tishawn,
You will be paid based on the amount of views that your poetry generates. If your poem generates a lot of views then you will make that much more. At the same time if your work doesn’t generate a lot of interest, you don’t make as much. That being said, even if you don’t make a lot, you’re still getting paid for something you love and already do. I think that’s a pretty good deal.

linh said:
so if your under 18 you won’t get paid?
February 27th, 2009 at 11:46 am -
Amber said:
linh, right. You have to be 18. BUT, you could always get an older sibling or a parent to help you out and have them sign up for the account for you. And they can collect the money for you.

what you don’t get is, AC doesn’t pay people under 18… trust me, i submitted a BUNCH of things on there and each one said i couldn’t receive payment until i was 18 … it sucked!
April 14th, 2009 at 4:25 pm -
Amber said:
tiffany one thing you can do is get an older sibling or relative to sign up for an account and then submit through them and pay you the money you make.

Amber said:
Asma, what you’ll need to do is go to the AC site and sign up. You can do that by clicking on the link for AC in the article above. They pay you via paypal and you can write in any genre you like. Good luck!

If you want to make money online then at the bare minimum you need to get a paypal account and a bank account. These are the methods that a lot of sites use to pay you. A few send you check thru the mail but then how would you cash the check with no bank account?

Amber, You don’t necessarily need a bank account to cash a check. You can always cash the check at the bank it’s drawn from with an ID Card or Driver’s License. And there is another really good way for teen-agers to earn money without spending $$, It’s called Article Marketing. You can easily make A LOT of money just by writing articles about your favorite products! How hard could that be? In fact, you don’t even NEED a PayPal account!

@ Jeff, thanks for the reminder about the alternative way to cash a check. And you’re right! article marketing is a GREAT way to make A LOT of money!
