I am 14 and have earned all my money from selling GFX, it takes plenty of time to learn all the ropes in photoshop and it does cost $20 a month as a student but I have gotten so much enjoyment from Adobe Creative Suite I dont care if I made any money at all.
I will definitely look more into doing GFX. I love art so I would love to start on this. I dont really have all the time in the world since I'm 14 and happen to be in all advanced classes. I am basically learning at a high school level which means that I have a lot of homework. I just need to figure out how I will have the time to do that.

What options are you left with?
GFX is my only option I think. The thing is I suck at photoshop and don't have the time to learn so I guess I am just out of luck. I could edit videos for people but then again I do not have time.

It sounds like making money will be hard given the circumstances. How much free time do you have every day?

It depends on the amount of homework I have. Majority of the time I dont have time to do anything else but homework. Other days I have some homework but I still have some other stuff to do.

Having an inconsistent schedule would be hard for consistent work. Most one-time jobs won't offer the best money for your time. What do you need the money for again?

I am trying to save up to get a pc. I only have a laptop but I need a desktop for gaming so that I can use my laptop for school. I have all of my games on my laptop so yeah. It will be easier for me to edit, record, and play games on the desktop because it will have more power.

Maybe you'll have more time in the summer? How much money do you have currently, and what kind of PC are you looking to buy?

I have a little bit over one hundred dollars right now and I really don't know what pc I want to buy. It depends on what I am doing this summer. I really dont know if I will have a lot of time then.

Time seems to be the issue. Maybe find out ways to get yourself some more time? That seems to be holding you back the most.

If my teachers taught me properly I would probably have more time. My teachers dont really teach so I am on my own when I learn something new. They dont explain anything in detail.

Hmm, well I hope the best for you Deo. It sounds like time is holding you back, but try to think about shaving more time off your day.

I understand your situation completely. Up until now I had no ways of making money whatsoever, now I am 16 I was able to get a job online and receive the income from it as my parents were very tight about me having a paypal account and access to online banking before I was 16. I never got pocket money or "chore money" because my parents were always saving up for other things. I know it sounds strange, but think about why you actually need the money. Buying a new setup? Just try to wait. If your not old enough or willing to go and get a job at a local shop or business then do you really need the money?

If you are in the situation where you have online banking/paypal then do some work online! Get yourself out there. I got a job via knowing people on minecraft. I used to make Logo's for a server and someone recognized me for it so they offered me a job making logo's and advertisement type things for them. But there are also sites where you can sell banners/avatars/logos and other things too. If its a case of learning how to do it, then there are thousands of tutorials on youtube as to how to do it.

Other online work can even consist of doing online surveys. I personally don't do this, but one of my friends makes about £50-£100 a month from doing online surveys. So you could try that out if need be.

I also recommend watching some of Marzbar/Techflow's videos on making money.
It's very easy and this dude was able to start up his own company with money he made- which I think is pretty inspiring.

Hope these tips are helpful c:
