Why Kids Can Make Money Online Better Than Adults
February 13, 2011 | 
Author Yes, it’s a provocative headline.
After all, thousands of adults are paying tens, hundreds, even thousands of dollars for products and training packages to help them become internet millionaires … and how many of them are actually succeeding? If adults are failing, you’d think kids would do even worse.
However, a child’s circumstances are very different from an adult’s, and that gives them a number of advantages when it comes to making money online. For that reason, we introduce internet marketing very early in the Cash-Smart Kids program.
Of course, the big-time adult internet marketers with a staff of 20 or 30 and a huge budget to spend will usually make more money than Johnny Smith, age 13 and 3/4, who has access to nothing more than his local library computer, blogger.com, and free article directories. I wouldn’t suggest for a moment that everyone under 18 has more earning potential than Seth Godin or Mike Filsaime.
Mind you, Ashley Qualls and her $70,000 per month is not to be sneezed at. Even young Carl Ocab, at age 13 earning $800-$1000 per month, is doing better than 90% of the adult online marketers.
However, if we leave aside the question of pre-existing resources, and we take one hypothetical average adult and one hypothetical average 13-year-old, of equal ability in basic literacy and numeracy, and they both wake up one morning and think “I’m going to try doing something on the internet to make money”, I’ll be betting on the kid every time.
Why?
Kids Have Low Expectations
Adults looking at making money online are thinking about replacing their full-time income – thousands of dollars per month. If they make just $50 per month for the first 12-18 months, to them it seems like a failure.
To a child, on the other hand, that much money is a roaring success and an incentive to learn more!
