Ways to make money online?

I'm not stupid, I know there is no easy way to make money, nor am I naive, and think I will get rich othe internet. I have high patience, and as much free time as dog has. Being rather creative in mind, and good writing skills, I've tried Helium, but I hear they scam your sort of. I have a website, with Google Adsense on it, but that does not help. I've seen many suggestions, all I can not do. I am a 16 year old boy, and i'm not a typical teenage boy, I'd like to think i'm at least a bit smarter than the average joe. So any suggestions? One that will cost little, or nothing to partake in. Give me every suggestion you have please, I could really use it....Oh, and I've tried Ebay too (didn't work).
