Dvea:
I've left a reply on something similar. Your daughter will most likely do well with them if she is writing romance novels. But it's important to note that these sites operate nearly almost with a slave labour style.

Once she gets enough traction and gets a contract she will instantly lose rights to her work. Now the contract if she does get it, will be huge. I'm talking millions of naira. But the issue is, if it's a series which they prefer she'll have to write fir years. Dropping 1 chapter a week. If she fails to she can be sued. If she decides she is tired at backs down, she will be sued and made to pay back everything she has earned and more.

If she chooses to just post a finished work, she might not get a contract except of course it's like a really long book or she plans to get a serialised full book going.

Either way the requirements are really strenuous. For an adult, in Nigeria, I'd usually just encourage them to go on cause really the pay is crazy but for a 13 year old, she'll burn out quickly.

Try to find more local channels but the problem is they don't pay so well.

IbnB:
Stop seeing her as a source of income already (that will come later)

Instead, broaden her reading habits by getting her books and enrol her in a formal literature program so that she can develop and grow.

She may be the next J.K Rowling....she can write background and plots for videogames, she can go into scriptwriting for T.V and movies, there are numerous avenues to monetize her talent but she has to grow first. You can be on the lookout for scriptwriting workshops (they do this periodically in Nollywood) but you need to protect her well because the entertainment industry is filled with sexual predators, paedophiles mostly.

But like I said earlier the emphasis is on growth at this stage. Money will come eventually.
