Well I’m a stay at home mom and like to do surveys to make random extra money. By no means, is it a stable constant income though. A few sites I trust and have actually gotten compensation from…

if you have a webcam http://www.mindswarms.com their surveys pay very well but don’t come around as often as other

http://www.youdata.com/join/amberk42 easiest of them all. Once you setup a profile, it takes 2-3 minutes to earn and they pay through paypal weekly with no minimum payout needed.

Like I said, you won’t get rich but it can add up. Your dad is right about being wary of survey sites though because A LOT of them are scams to get your info. You can check out the forum on SlickDeals too. They have a lot of helpful info for you!

LOL. Sorry for laughing, but I doubt if your work is good enough to publish and that you’re “serious” writers. Yes, you might be dedicated and all, but that doesn’t constitute “serious.”

Just a bit of a reality check. Commercial publishing is a serious business. They don’t accept just any old thing, and most novels are rejected. You need more than a story that most teens can identify with. Guess what? Bookshelves are filled with those types of stories. Your book has to be very well written and marketable for even the slightest chance of being published. Just judging by your grammar in this post, this is an indication that you have a long way to go before your novel is in publishable condition, because I bet it’s full of bad grammar, horrible plots, under developed characters, and many literary mistakes from first time novel writers.

Listen, publishing isn’t “quick and easy.” Professional writers strive their whole lives to get published and most never make it. People your age have an even smaller chance of getting published because you don’t have the expertise or skill needed – this is something that’s developed over several years with lots of studying and practicing.

My advice is to write another book and continue to gain that experience. One day you’ll begin writing publishable material. Write a sequel to your novel. Write a completely different story. Do it for fun. Meanwhile, edit and polish your current manuscript. No one is good enough to write a perfect manuscript on their first draft. Sorry.

BTW, you’re right, publishers will pay you for your novel, while literary agents will not charge you anything until they sell your book to a publisher. Anything else is the red flag of a scammer.

EDIT:
Hey, I’ve just started my second novel, which is a sequel to my first novel. My first novel isn’t publishable, and is a learning experience. My second novel is already better than the first, lol. That’s how it is – you get better the more you write. It doesn’t matter to me if either of these novels ever get published because it’s been fun writing them and I have many more ideas where they came from. I wrote my first novel in 3 1/2 months, and I’ll start editing it soon to make it better. Even the great Stephen King had to write 4 unpublished novels before he finally got his first one, Carrie, published. And, get this, he was a college graduate and teaching high school English, so his grammar was better than the average American’s, but he still had to practice and get better. That’s just how it is.

Good luck.
