School is letting out, you might be in the midst of exams or done with them already. Now your parents are probably wondering what you are going to do with the summer months. And while it’s tempting to plan long lazy days by the pool and hanging out with friends, they are probably thinking more along the lines of gainful employment.

But maybe getting a job at the local fast-food joint or shopping mall is something you’d rather avoid at all costs. Ever think about trying to make your money online? It’s not going to be an instant get-rich scheme. But you should be able to make some money if you are determined. Here are some ideas RelateMag.com found online earlier this week, thanks to ChristianPF.

Social Marketing Consultant

Many companies are looking for qualified candidates who know the ins and outs of Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter to help them with their social marketing efforts. Head over to a job site and search for “social media”.

Write product reviews

There are places like Ciao, Epinions.com, ReviewStream.com that pay for product reviews – if you have an opinion and can type quickly this might be a good option.

Find odd-jobs on Craigslist

Some of these might be landscaping work, or similar odd-jobs, but it might be great summer time work for teens!

Take online surveys

I am not particularly fond of the whole online survey thing since I had a bad experience using CashCrate. But there are lots of online survey sites and people who do it successfully.

Sell Digital Photos

Making money as a photographer has become easier over the last decade. There are now lots of sites looking to buy digital photos: Shutterstock.com, 123RF.com, Dreamstime.com, CreStock.com, Fotolia.com. As with most things, the better you are the more money you will make, but it can be nice passive income if you work at it.
