I am under 18 and really want to make a information website and make money from affiliate programs and ads. I am hoping to make a huge amount. Is this legal? Do you think
doing this could make me six figures a year? Is a website like I just explained considered an online business? Are there any other online business ideas (like auction site, membership site) that could make me six figures a year?

You can do it but better opt for the nominee of your payment to be above 18 because the only problem under age is the income tax if you earn too much than the limit specified. Anyone can do affiliate marketing but to be successful you need to create a free blog or a website of your own give it a very good look and then start driving traffic to your site through visitor who is searching for that product your promoting only. You also can get to know more about affiliate marketing from the best at the site http://www.theaffiliatecodex.co.cc for more info and best expert 6 figure secrets in detail .
Hi Andrew,
I love your enthusiasm! My name is Mandy Wildman and I am a Marketing Strategist with Two Cups Connect Marketing. As regards being under 18, my son Talbryn Porter is only 9 years old, and he is The FarmVille Kid – he already has his own affiliate marketing business (do a search for him on Facebook).
I am going to recommend you do a few things to start learning this business, and I’ll give you some links to books and courses that I think are awesome that will help you get started with your business within the next 24 hours (really!).
The first one is an Ebook and it is totally free! It presents a strategy for selling any type of product using methods which will never become outdated. Plus a really clever twist which will send your income rocketing if you do it the way he says.
The Ultimate SuperTips, written by Harvey Segal is easy to follow, written without ‘hype’ and not littered with annoying links. And it ends with an amazing idea for making you money from the book itself.
Harvey Segal does NOT ask for your personal contact information at all – so I would recommend this as a good place to start – click the first link below.
Next, I would do Ewen Chia’s 24-hour Internet Profits course. It rocks! My son has watched it (it is a series of short videos) and after that Talbryn knew exactly how to set up a blog and get started earning money. Yes – so simple a 9 year old could do it! That’s the second link below.
Have fun, and if you’d like more advice, just contact me through my website (www.TwoCupsConnect.com).
Best, Mandy Wildman (mom of the FarmVille Kid!)
Hi Andrew,
I did some searching for you and came up with the following:
How can a minor form a business entity?
If a parent chooses to form the business on behalf of their child, they can act as an authorized signer. Liabilities apply in these situations, and parents can be held responsible if their dependent is negligent in matters of operating the business. It’s a good idea for parents to consult with an attorney and certified public accountant (CPA).
Can a minor claim copyright?
According to Copyright.gov, "minors may claim copyright, and the Copyright Office issues registrations to minors, but state laws may regulate the business dealings involving copyrights owned by minors." Copyright.gov advises that you consult a local attorney for specific guidance.
Can a minor sign a contract?
Technically, yes, a minor can sign a contract, but because minors are not considered to have the legal competency to enter into a binding agreement, they have ability to "disaffirm*" the contract – which essentially voids their end of the bargain. In most states, people under the age of 18 are considered minors.
If I may, I can recommend an affiliate training program that is 2nd to none. Top quality and very professional. Please see the box below for where I got the information for you and a link for my recommendation.
Thanks,
Take Care,
Steve
