Hi I am a 14 year old Blender user and have been using it for 4 years and now want to learn the Unreal Engine as well but my current rig is not even close to what I would call an acceptable content creation machine even for beginners (Intel Integrated Graphics Toshiba laptop). I have a 850$ build I want to make excluding the monitor but so far I only have 100$. How would you guys recommend I could get money via content creation to buy a PC.

Make 3d-printable props from popular games and the like. Sell em via something like shapeways or one of the other services which I currently forget the names of.
Or just make assets and sell them on sites like cgtrader or turbosquid.
Do both even!

You could do commissions (basically people pay you to make a specific thing) and get money from your craft like that. Keep in mind many people will undervalue you: don't sell 3D models for a buck. Also be sure to either get paid up front or at least get a bit of the payment beforehand, so you they don't tell you "yes, I ain't gonna pay you" in the end.

Ok thank you guys for the suggestions and btw Turbosquid and CGTrader won't legally let people under 18 sell 3D models. Thanks!
