Wait a second, you started at 13 years old to make money ? Man at 13 years old I was still begging my parents and sister for fruits :|
I started around two or three years ago, once I picked up my hobby of drawing again. I posted some of my artwork on some sites that do the job of printing it on merch like phone cases, t-shirts, and pillows for you. Since I don't promote my stuff and I have few projects to show that kind of vary in style, I only receive a few dollars every now and then. (One out of those 10 sites have no minimum payout requirements, psh.)
Now I'm writing, whether it's informative articles or creative writing. I'm making a decent amount of pocket money. But I hope to greatly improve on my writing and artistic skills to eventually create an interactive fiction that the audience I target will like a lot. It also helps that I can create my own websites so that I don't have to pay anyone else to start a site meant to host my writing/art portfolio.
Why? To have money for food, for bills, for student loans. Hopefully increase that earning so I can provide for a family in the future.
It's good you're determined not to give up. Some people don't earn anything for years, but that's because they're putting their time and effort into finding something they can stick to and earn a lot with. You'll find your specialty one day and one day you'll be earning $5/day, then $20/day, possibly more. Be persistent and it'll pay off!

I officially started IM and learning SEO around 8-12 months ago, prior to that I was dicking around with music news websites and then I realized I wasnt getting traffic blah blah blah I started to learn the ropes, It took me ages to get a handle on the whole SEO IM Traffic generation thing, I then put it down for a little bit but then I came back to it with full force trying all sorts of methods and really sticking my head into it.
Prior to all this a buddy of mine in high school in 2005 introduced me to 'making money online' and he was trying to get everyone to go to his website and click on his ad, which basically it was some blogspot website with no content and just an ad placed in the middle of the screen and I will never forget it haha, but it did struck a chord with me and made me interested but I didnt take it up until years later when I moved to Europe and got married and found myself out of a job, so that was the motivation behind it.
So far so good I have learned a lot and I have just started a few Amazon affiliate sites recently and I am seeing results of what I have learned.
So far with amazon, adsense, fiverr and plugrush I would say I have earned $1500
I am 25 and I have gained some weight since this IM step in my life, I tend to be a workaholic and I would spend hours on the computer and I wouldnt move.

I started around 1 year ago. I failed my first off-line business because of my lack of motivation and I didn't feel comfortable with my business partner because he did nothing and I did most of the things, so after the failure of the business, I kept searching on-line and came across an article that was titled " what's the difference between off-line and on-line business? " - I found out how many opportunities on-line businesses have so I jumped head first into it and... the story goes on... and here I am now making a living on-line with all the freedom I always wanted.

when I was 12. Father bought a computer and it was new stuff for me. Somehow I found some boards how to make money online, was learning how to create first html websites and when I was like 13-14, I recieved first check for ~50$, some e-gold, webmoney, etc. It was like money from nowhere that time and I have not stopped till now. Just changed my working style a lot.

I had no idea about freelancing then. Out of curiosity, I posted an an ad on a free classified and offered a writing service. Two days later a webmaster of a manufacturing company responded to my ad and hired me as a regular article writer. I have worked with them for more than a year, until I have finally decided to move on.
A physical disability is not a hindrance to success.
Your creativity is the only limitation.
Good luck!

I started around 2 years and 4 months ago. I found an offtopic thread in real social dynamics forum asking if anybody makes money with clickbank/comission junkies online. I had seen that thread for over a year but never clicked on it. One day I decided to click on it and see what the clickbank thing is. I read couple of articles.. and I knew I need to read it all, it was around couple of hundred pages 
Becker from sourcewave was one of the people who also found IM via that thread, he posted things he tried and what he learned.. So cool to see that a guy who started from the same forum thread as I did is now making shittons of money (company worth over a million or smth?).
Then I read the tutorials from Becker blog, his forum.. then I got a bit frustrated that I didn't succeed and somehow I found blackhatworld.. and since then I have made over $7k. Atm still struggelling but making around $200/month.
