No fees, nothing to buy or sell, no scams, no spamming, nothing illegal, immoral or unethical.
You can create your own websites or blogs @ blogger.com and put up your products' photos and services if
you have
any. If you can create websites or blogs and can type, you can make online money online easily.
You may make money by publishing Google Adsense on your websites.
If you have a website or a web-blog, you could make money by publishing advertisements on your site (by
google). If someone clicks on those ads, you will earn money.
If you don't have a website, you may start creating web-blogs like blogger.com (mostly free) with
advertisements (google ads) on it. Some free websites don't allow you to publish google adsense becaus
they are doing it themself.

* Baby-sitting - Babysitting is a tried and true way for any responsible teenager to make money (IF you like kids!). Any community that has families with small children needs baby-sitters. However, it is extremely hard to find trustworthy and reliable baby-sitters who are available on a regular basis. Your business would provide in-home baby-sitting services. There are several things you can do to make your services more valuable. You should take a Red Cross first aid course so that you know how to handle emergencies. You might also want to volunteer at your church if there is a day-care center there. You can pick up a lot of valuable experience that way. You might want to consider teaming up with some like-minded friends. That way your group will be able to say "yes" more often and that will increase the number of calls you get.
* Lawn or yard care - Another perrenial favorite. During the summer you mow lawns, trim hedges and so on. In the fall you rake leaves. In the winter you shovel snow.
* Indoor house painting - You advertise your ability to paint individual rooms in a customer's house. Before undertaking this adventure you should make sure you know what you are doing by reading, working with someone with experience and practicing in your own home.
* Baked goods (cookies, cakes etc.) - Many families are too busy to bake their own cookies and cakes these days but having fresh-baked goods around the house is nice. A family might need a home-baked cake for a school bake sale or a party. You could provide baked goods for special occasions like these or sell baked goods at local craft or farmers' markets. Check local health laws if you start this sort of activity.
* Cleaning - If you enjoy cleaning and do it well, then house cleaning for others is straightforward and easy. Find busy people in your neighborhood and clean for them once every week or two.
* Dog walking or vacation pet care - Most people who have pets want to give them the best care possible. Your business would help pet owners to do that by walking their pets daily or by providing in-home pet care when owners are on vacation. Plus people will pay alot of money for care of their pets.
* Errand-running for busy people - Busy people often do not have time today to stand in line to get their license plates renewed, to buy groceries or to run other errands. Your business would handle these tasks for them.
* Washing cars for neighbors - You can simply wash cars. There is also a whole industry called "car detailing". A detailer washes and waxes the outside and REALLY cleans the inside: vacuuming, washing the windows, armor-alling, etc. $100/hr.
* Teaching older people how to use computers or the internet - Many older people are totally affraid of computers. If you understand computers you can help them. You could come to the customer's home (or they to your home) and you could charge on a half-hourly or hourly basis. $25/hr.
* Using a computer application - learn Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, etc. and then go get or create a part-time job in a small business using your skills.
* Creating Web Sites - If you are artistic and technically minded, there is a great opportunity available right now creating web sites for small businesses. Or try creating your own web site that generates a lot of traffic and make money selling ads on it.
* Making and selling something unique: A newsletter on something that interests you, something arty, etc. If you are artistic create greeting cards or draw portraits. You will discover that your greatest difficulty doing this is finding outlets, so work to solve that problem (you will learn an incredible amount in the process).
One question you will have as soon as you choose an activity is, "How much should I charge?" which is best answered by doing a market survey. In a market survey you call around and ask potential customers what they are used to paying and/or willing to pay, or you ask your friends what they are able to charge for similar activities. In the case of an activity like car washing, you could also call car washes or detailers in your area and ask what they charge.
Note that many of the millionaires in this country, for example, are owners of franchise and private restaurants. Many of them learned how to run a restaurant by working in a restaurant rather than starting their own business. They worked in the business first.
My daughter asked me a similar question. She has a good design eye - and is good with computers. I suggest that she write a report about something 'teenage girlish' AND do something with it on myspace. I bought her these 2 books to give her something to learn from and get some ideas:

Good luck - hope the experience and any money you can earn is a very positive experience for you. As a father of 2 teenagers - I like your ambition.
I think a lot of money can be made on the Internet.
For example, I joined on CashCrate and filled out some free offers and its going very well. And there are no fees to join. It is totally free.
http://www.cashcrate.com/index.php?ref=1.
This may not sound like much, but for every person you refer, you get 20% of what they earn. And for every person that one of your referrals refer to CashCrate, you get 10%. It may take some time to build up the number of referrals necessary to make a lot of money, but in time--this could be a great source of income--making money while other people are in a sense, working for you.
And by the way--never join a work at home program that wants you to pay up front. If they were making that much money, they wouldn't need to charge you.
I am not advertising this site. Just answering the question.
For me, the first and the most important thing is to educate yourself.
