Making money as a 16 year old

[sharmaishaan183]

I've previously made a few thousand bucks from telegram - coding , selling my services (ads) , etc

The issue is now , the market is too saturated and the clients are not that much , so there's not much scope , plus due to improved tg algorithms , its hard to advertise.

I can make telegram bots , basic websites & I'm willing to learn new things as well.

Can anybody recommend me some ways by which i can get relevant leads for my services - I've tried upwork and few freelancing websites but they don't accept me because of my age , so i wanted to do something which would bring me clients.

Thanks

Try LinkedIn to connect with businesses needing bots or websites; focus on niche groups for targeted leads.

Go to all your local businesses that don't have a website and then say to them that for a school project, you will build them a website for free as long as they write your little business page a review on Trust Pilot. They will think this is cute and take you up on the offer.

Build them something cool, and then show them it, and tell them if they would like to use it permanently, they can hire you on a retainer to update the site, as it's not going to run for free, broski! lol. If they are a decent they probably think, hey this is great way of giving back to the community.

You will have to find some new niche if the current one is staurated

Build a scraper if your expertise allows. Scape data from local directories and GMB. Start cold email outreach to sell web designing/development/RPA services to people who need it

Yeah , That's why I'm shifting my focus towards developing new skills

I've worked a lot with web scraping before so this seems like a good idea , not sure how cold emailing would work out , as from my pov ppl just ignore mails , I'll definitely give it a shot , thanks for the recommendation, really appreciate this

If you are good at coding, I find it hard to believe that you are short of work. Good coders have so much work already that they cannot handle at all.

I won't mind doing them , however I'd like to do something that will help me in the future, rather than quick money

The key to finding work is marketing , which is where I'm stuck , i can't find a feasible way to get clients , I've done quite a lot of work for some people but I'm not sure how i can use it in my portfolio and use it to attract more clients.

Get a relative to make accounts for you in their name. You freelance with their name for two years and use that time to both learn the ropes and make some money. Then you can make a new account in your own name and handle it even better.

not sure how cold emailing would work out

Well that's a skill you can add to your quiver. Seems like you have a marketable skill in coding already, so you can invest some time and effort into improving your marketing abilities as well.

Of course, keep improving your coding and take it seriously. At 16, it would be a better long term plan to concentrate on improving your skills more than on making money now (despite the fact that making money is a skill too). You will be able to monetize the skills you are developing now for decades, so anything you can do to make yourself better will have the greatest long term benefit for you.

I doubt if a relative of mine could help me with it , but I'll give it a shot , and for the skills , i believe doing paid work would help me sharpen my skills , and support myself as well . Thank you for the suggestion , really appreciated

You could start using native ads on some sites that have your target audience on it.

You could partner with small digital influencers who could generate qualified leads.

do the best service possible to get a good retention rate.

You could also diversify your learning portfolio, you could learn to work with something else. such as digital marketing.

Hope I Helped sharmaishaan183.
