@ALEX - Thanks for coming by the site, but I’m afraid I have to tell you that the link you posted is a scam, and is actually illegal. You can check out the story on snopes:

Just remember that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

The thing I like about this post (and site) is that there seems to be a lot of ambition here. I firmly believe in that you make your own luck. Sounds like these kids are going after it and I like to see that. ~Larry

@George:

For my newspaper, I made change jars and bought little plastic flyer displays from an office supply store, and then took copies of my paper and the change jars around to businesses in my town. I asked them if they wouldn’t mind if I put the newspapers and the change jars on the counter, so that people could buy them. If you do this, make sure you put a label with the name of the newspaper and the price on the jar, so that people know to pay into the jar.

Then, when you put out a new issue next month, you can collect all the money in the jars and put out the new issue. Make sure you tape a piece of paper in the back of the display holder, with a phone number or something to contact you, so that if any of the businesses run out of copies, they can let you know that they need more.

For a comic strip, the best thing to do would probably start putting it online. I actually used to be really big into the web-comic community - I still have quite a few friends there, if you’re looking for a mentor.

Feel free to email me if you want any more tips! Just click the “Contact Me” link in the sidebar on this page (up near the top).

There is are a number of dated expression that “there is no such thing as a free lunch” ,
“nothing is for nothing” and that of “easy money” as well as “everyone wants something for nothing”
These terms also apply to what might be considered easy money on the internet
It takes time , proper preparation , and as well proper funding , for the mistakes along the way , and I guess a measure of good luck and timing
For the most part everything worthwhile takes effort and consistency. If you are the type who likes flash in the pan and you find it in internet sales and ./ or marketing you may well ( almost always ) lose it at your next trip to the gambline table. Proper results require proper effort and preparations.

I know a sad story. One kid was doing a website. Then he decided to sell it. He sold it for $5,000(it was bringing some revenue).

The buyer made it to $2,500/month adsense website.

Then parents of that kid sues the buyer, that he had no right(the kid) to sell website, because he was underaged.

They won the case and got website back.

So this is a very thin and really sharp line. You should be really careful doing business with teens.
