Just because you are a teenager, doesn’t mean you can’t make money. And while it is true there may be some limitations to the opportunities available, it doesn’t prevent you from entering the world of entrepreneurial capitalism. In fact, many of the great multi-millionaires got a pretty early start on their wealth generation. You will need to consider factors that are unique to your age, parental availability, influence as well a personal preference for the work you wish to do.

There are two things that every mom has said to their kids growing up.

&#;Because I said so.&#;

&#;No, there&#;s food at the house.&#;

-Every Mom Ever

See our childhoods aren&#;t too different after all. I remember being around 9 years old when I asked my mom to buy me a Snickers bar at Rite Aid. She looked at me and said, &#;If you want to buy snacks, do so with your own money.&#; Unfair, seeing how I was a child with no income of my own. So I asked the reasonable follow-up question, “How do I make money? &#; she said plainly, &#;You have to sell something.&#; I then responded, &#;what should I sell?&#;

It was a hot summer day and she looked around the store. She pointed at a 24 pack of water and said, &#;It cost five bucks to buy a 24 pack of water. Buy a 24 pack, bring it to the local park, and sell each water for $1. If you sell all of them, you make 19 bucks. You can buy all the Snicker bars you want then.&#; 

I doubt she thought I was going to follow through with the idea, but even back then I understood the importance of money. So, after doing a little bit of research, I realize all I would need is a cooler on wheels and a bag of ice. Within a week, I took out a small loan from my mom to buy all the needed materials, and I started going to my local park screaming, “Ice-cold water, ice-cold soda, one dollar.&#;

I started making money pretty quickly. After paying off my mom, I bought even more water and even more soda, which translated to more money. It started me off on the path that it has led me to today where I have now started several businesses. However, I owe it all to my mom who showed me how important it was to make money as a kid.

If you&#;re reading this, you&#;re probably wondering how you can make money as a teen. That&#;s great that you&#;re interested in making money at a young age. If you can start working on your side hustle now, it can pay off big-time before you even can drink your first beer.

In this post, I will cover over 60 ways that you can make money today as a teen. Whether it&#;s doing tasks in your neighborhood, downloading apps, or making money online, this post will cover it all. By the end of it, you&#;ll be well equipped to start your entrepreneurial journey.

How To Make Money As A Teen In Your Neighborhood

Want to make money while still staying close to home? No problem. There are multiple ways you can make money by doing jobs around your neighborhood. In this section, we&#;ll cover all the best ways you can make money as a teen in your neighborhood.

1. Tutor Kids In Your Neighborhood

Does math come easy to you? Have you always been a fairly good writer? If you excel at a certain skill you can make money from it. You probably know some other kids in your neighborhood either your age or younger who could benefit from having a tutor.

Reach out to them and ask them if they would want to pay you for homework help. You can even sign up for a website like www.oldyorkcellars.com and make a profile there. 

2. Dog Walking

I&#;m partial to this one because this was my business after I stopped selling water and soda. I got my first dog in the sixth grade. Since I had to take her to the dog park on a daily basis I got to speak with a lot of other dog owners. One complaint all of them had was that no one was around to walk their dog in the afternoon.

Since I got off of school at pm, I started offering a dog walking service to people who wanted their dog walked in the late afternoon. I started dog walking at around 12 years old and did it for almost 10 years. This works best in cities where there are a lot of people living in apartment buildings in close proximity.

If you don&#;t have a dog or know where to meet dog owners you could always sign up for an app like Rover or Wag and make a profile there. It just takes a few minutes and what better way to spend your time making money than with dogs.

3. Make Money As A Teen Babysitting

Babysitting is another job that a teen can have to make money today. Parents are often busy, and when they come home from work many of them don&#;t want to make sure their kids have done their homework and cleaned their room. This is where you come in.

There are many parents who would happily take on a babysitter to look after their kids when they&#;re not around. If you don&#;t know any then you could always sign up for an app like www.oldyorkcellars.com or www.oldyorkcellars.com

4. Taking Down Christmas Trees

Everyone loves setting up Christmas trees. No one likes taking them down. When Christmas time rolls around, put up flyers in your neighborhood saying that you will take down Christmas trees for a fee. You can even leave flyers by people&#;s doors saying that you will take down their Christmas tree for fifty bucks. Although this only works for one time of the year, you may find 20 people who want you to take down their tree for them. I don&#;t know about you, but $1, goes a long way as a teenager.

5. Renting Out Your Car When It&#;s Not In Use

If you live in a suburb and have to commute to school you probably have a car. Some people have family cars, while others have their own car. If you want to make money as a teen, and you have your own car, you can rent it out to other people. It is really easy to do this with an app like Turo. If you don&#;t need your car on the weekend then this would be a perfect time to rent it out.

6. Write Essays For Students

There are two things you cannot avoid as a student. Taking exams and writing essays. And although you cannot take exams for people, a lot of them will be willing to pay you to write essays for them. You can charge ten dollars per page, and if you are a good writer, it won&#;t be hard to keep writing essays for some students or to expand your business to other students.

7. Dog Sitting

Similar to dog walking, dog sitting is when a dog stays with you for an extended period of time. Instead of going on a minute walk, a dog might stay with you for 3 days while the owners are out of town. You will still need to walk the dog, but with dog sitting comes extra chores, like feeding and giving them water.

If you have space in your house and your parents are okay with it this could be a great way to start making some extra money on the side.

8. Teach Art Lessons

When I say art, I don&#;t mean you have to be able to draw. If you can sing, play an instrument, paint, or anything along those lines you can host art lessons for other kids in your neighborhood. This is great because you could have group lessons where you can teach a lot of kids at once.

9. Host A Poker Night

When I was in high school, I got my first taste of playing poker. I wasn&#;t good, but neither was anyone else. If you have an open space in which you can bring friends over, introduce poker nights. You won&#;t be able to charge your friends for coming, but there are a bunch of YouTube videos that show you the basics of poker. That is all you need to beat your friends in the game. This could be a nice way to generate some side income by learning a new skill.

Sell Waters & Sodas In Your Local Park In The Summer

You probably saw this coming as it was my very first experience with making money as a kid. The process to do this is very simple. You buy a 24 pack of water for a few bucks, and then you sell those waters individually for a dollar in crowded areas. I found the best luck with local parks. However, if you know other high-traffic areas in your neighborhood this can be a perfect place for you to set up shop. 

You can even experiment with other things like candy, chocolate, and other goodies. The start-up cost is very low, and it is very easy to be profitable doing this.

Sell Hot Coffee In The Winter

If I wanted to make more money as a teen, I would’ve done this as well. You can only sell water and sodas during the summer season. When winter comes around, the business model no longer works.  However, if you just change your product offering you can still stay in business.

If you invest in a coffee maker you can brew up coffee and sell it in a crowded area. You can also experiment with things like tea and hot chocolate and see if those sell well too.

Shovel Snow

Another job you can do during the winter is shoveling snow. This is especially great if you live in a suburb in which there are a lot of driveways. Many people hate to shovel their own snow, but it is something you have to do to bring your car in and out of the driveway.

Go door-to-door and ask people if they would be interested in having their driveway shoveled for twenty bucks. A lot of people will take you up on that deal, and if you do a good enough job, this can be recurring revenue for you as it&#;ll be snowing all throughout the winter season.

Make Money As A Teen Selling To Your Classmates

One of the easiest ways to make money as a teen is to monetize your classmates. All you have to do is buy something that you can then resell for a higher price to your friends. This could be in the form of sports cards, shoes, hats, or food.

You can easily buy things on eBay that you can flip to your classmates for more money. The trick to this is to test it before you sell it. If you want to sell watches to your classmates, show them a picture of a watch and ask them how much they would be willing to pay for it. Once they give you a response, see if you can get that watch for a cheaper amount and if you can sell it to them for a profit.

Become A Personal Trainer

I know as a teenager I surely wasn&#;t lifting weights. I probably should have been. But if you are in good shape and you know how to work out in the gym, this could be a great way to start making some money as a teen. A lot of teenagers care about their looks. If you can show them how you have been able to transform your body they would be willing to invest in you to help transform theirs.

This can also work if you&#;re good at sports. If you are exceptional at basketball, soccer, or football you can charge for training lessons and teach kids how to play the sport.

Become A Referee

If you have played a sport for most of your life you probably understand the ins and outs of it. You can use that knowledge of that sport to become a referee. As a player, you probably know all the fields and courts around your neighborhood that have games for kids. Reach out to the sports communities in your neighborhood and ask if they are in need of additional help.

Referees are always in demand, and if you understand the sport pretty well this could be a nice way to make some money as a teen.

Upkeep Yards

If you live in a city this might not apply to you. But for those of you who live in suburban areas, one of the hardest things for homeowners to do is upkeep their yards. This could be in the form of mowing their lawn, taking out their weeds, or just raking up some leaves. If you can establish yourself as the neighborhood yard cleaner, people will start coming to you to do the work that they would rather not do.

Host Parties In Your Neighborhood

For most people, partying is a way to lose money. However, if you look at it as an entrepreneur there are a lot of opportunities to make money from hosting parties. I knew a bunch of friends growing up who would rent out a venue, and charge a cover for entry.

You can do the same thing. Find spaces in your local neighborhood and see how much it would cost to rent it out for the night. Once you know how much it cost to rent out the spot, see how many people you would need to bring in to make money. Assume you can charge anywhere from 10 to 20 bucks per person.

Also, see if you can get a DJ to come for free for the exposure. If you can&#;t find a DJ for free offer them a percentage of revenue from the entry fee. This way it&#;ll encourage them to bring their own group of people, and you only have to pay them if you yourself make money.

Make Money As A Teen Washing Cars

Similar to upkeeping yards, if you live in a suburb where everyone has a car this can be an easy way to make money as a teen. Go door-to-door and ask if the owners would be interested in having you clean their car. Many people will respect the hustle and if they haven&#;t had their car washed in a while will allow you to do so. A lot of the materials you need to clean a car you can find around your own house. You can just carry them door-to-door asking people if they&#;re in need of the service. 

Rent Out Your Space

Do you have a garage in your house? Maybe a spacious room where you can have people over. You&#;re probably too young to rent out your entire house on Airbnb. But, you could rent out your space and let people use areas within your house. Do you have a comic book collection that you can let people read for $5 an hour? Maybe some video games that you wouldn&#;t mind letting someone else play with for a few hours on the weekend? 

It doesn&#;t even have to be your own space. You could also rent out things like a bike, skateboard, soccer ball, or baseball bat. Just make sure that you know whoever you&#;re giving your stuff to so that you can find them if they don&#;t return your items.

Buy A Vending Machine

What? Yes, you heard me. Surprisingly, anyone can purchase a vending machine. In fact, most vending machines can be purchased for under $2, Yes, that is a lot of money I know. However, this could pay off quickly if you can put it in the right location. What is a good location? Your school of course! 

Ask your school if you could put a vending machine in it for students to get snacks throughout the day. Even if your school says no, you could always go to other schools in your district and ask them if they would be interested. If you can find a school that doesn&#;t have any other source of snacks your vending machine will be the only place available to get a midday snack.

Clean Houses

Cleaning is one of those things no one wants to do but we all have to do it. Use this to your advantage. If you live in a city, there is a strong chance you live in an apartment building. Most apartment buildings will have communal laundromats or garbage areas. In these areas, they&#;re usually bulletin boards where you can post flyers.

Print out some flyers saying that you will clean houses. You can charge anywhere from $ to $ per house. It shouldn&#;t take you more than a couple of hours and this can be a great thing to do after school or during the weekend. Flyers is the exact strategy I used for my dog-walking business.

It is an extremely effective method for showing people in your area the availability of your service. Another great thing if you live in an apartment building is word-of-mouth. If you do a great job for somebody, they might tell another neighbor about your service. You can even ask them to spread the word on your behalf. 

Teach Kids How To Code

What do Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Steve Jobs all have in common? They all started their companies before the age of Technology has allowed kids to start their own companies at very young ages. It is also a great skill to have as some of the top-paying majors are computer science and engineering.

If you can teach yourself how to code, not only can it help you with your own business but you can also use that skill to teach younger kids in your neighborhood how to code. Parents will happily pay for this.

Print On Demand T-Shirts For Your School

Almost every school has a sports team. On top of having sports teams, most schools also have organizations like a chess club or comic book club. Every sports team needs apparel, and many organizations also need apparel. Go to your athletic director and ask how much it costs for sports equipment for a particular sport. 

Tell them you have been researching apparel for schools and realized that many schools pay too much for their sports clothing. Once they tell you how much they pay for their clothes, ask them if they could pay you to go find a supplier at a cheaper cost. If they agree, you can in most scenarios find a supplier that can undercut the price of the current supplier and in turn make you some extra money.

Learn How To DJ

I was an unofficial DJ for 2 years in college for my fraternity. The first thing I realized while DJing is that it isn&#;t as hard as it looks. The trick to becoming a good DJ is just having the right music, and if you have a good ear for it, it&#;s easy to blend together songs.

You can DJ anything from school events, bar mitzvahs, to even birthday parties in your neighborhood. Most events will need a DJ, and all you need to invest in is a switchboard which can be as little as a hundred bucks.

Make Money As A Teen Cleaning Garages

Clearly cleaning is a trend. Garages are another great place to clean since no one likes cleaning garages. This one works better if you live in a suburb where people actually have garages. Again, you can use flyers at the local supermarket, church, or playground. Find places that allow you to put your flyers out for free.

The trick to making these flyers stand out is making the paper or font a little different than all the other flyers there. Don&#;t use too many colors or colors that are too bright because that might be distracting. But having red font or a pink piece of paper will stand out above the average white and black flyer.

Make Money As A Teen With Real Estate Wholesaling

Real estate wholesaling is one of the easiest ways to get started in real estate and make money as a teen. A wholesaler contracts a home with a seller and then finds an interested buyer for the home who will pay more than what the seller is asking for. So, if you find a home that&#;s for sale for $,, your goal is to find a buyer willing to purchase the home for more than that, let&#;s say $, All you have to do is broker the deal between the two and you can make a $20, riskless profit.

The best way to get started doing this is going door to door and asking if anyone would be interested in selling their house or if they know anyone interested. If you want to learn more about real estate wholesaling, you can check out our podcast episode where we spoke with two real estate wholesalers who dropped out of college to do wholesaling full-time.

Create Websites For Local Businesses

All big businesses have a website. Studies show that billion people use the internet. However, smaller businesses may not have a website simply because they don&#;t know how to make one. Go to local businesses and show them some examples of other websites within their space and tell them that you can make them a website just like this one. There are more than enough YouTube videos out there that walk you through step-by-step how to make a website from scratch. So don&#;t be intimidated by the process.

Make Money As A Teen Taking Care Of The Elderly

When I was in high school there was a neighbor of mine who became bedridden. He needed someone to take care of him at night as he would wake up at times and need things like a drink or a snack. By taking care of him during his time of need, I was making $ a night just sleeping in his guest room next to a walkie-talkie.

This is another great way to make money as a teen and advertise your services in local places that the elderly hang out. You can put up flyers in a local park, recreation center, or in your building. 

Make Money As A Teen Cleaning Boats

This is another one that you can&#;t do unless you live in a town or area next to a body of water. Most boat canvases need cleaning monthly to prevent staining and keep dirt from getting stuck in the material. Many people will pay you to simply wash it down and give it a scrub to rinse off all the extra dirt.

How To Make Money As A Teen Online

Looking for ways to stay home and make money? Great. This is the best time in history to make money online as a teen. There are dozens of businesses to choose from. Some of these you can make money with right away while others you will have to build a following. Regardless, you are not short of options.

Make Money As A Teen By Starting A YouTube Channel

It isn&#;t uncommon to find teens who are making crazy money each month on YouTube. You just have to be 13 years old to start a YouTube channel. All you need is a camera and internet connection and you can start creating content. There are many famous celebrities who have monetized their Youtube presence ranging from James Charles to Kyle Forgeard. If you want to learn the various ways you can make money on YouTube check out our post on How To Make Money On Youtube.

Make Money As A Teen Selling Your Old Things

Take a look at your closet for me. I&#;ll be willing to bet that you only wear about 20% of all the clothes you see in there. That&#;s no knock against you. Most of us buy things that we don&#;t really need. However, selling these clothes is one of the easiest ways to make cash fast.

If you have any social media accounts post a picture of some of the things you&#;d like to sell. Some people may reach out with interest in buying your stuff.

You can even go to platforms like Facebook Marketplace and list your items there. This gives you even more exposure for your items. The more places you can list your items the more likely it is a potential buyer might see it.

Learn A High-Income Skill

This is the one thing I wish I learned earlier. High-income skills are something you need to teach yourself because you&#;ll never learn them in school. Everyone knows the quadratic formula. Very few people know about search engine optimization.

There are multiple high-income skills that if you learn now will pay off in big ways later on in your life. Some of them are:

• Copywriting
• Search engine optimization
• Coding
• Affiliate marketing
• Organic social media growth 
• Facebook advertising
• Funnel building

A lot of these skills are written about in detail online. If you prefer to listen you can search these skills on YouTube as well.

Make Money As A Teen With A Dropshipping Business

Dropshipping is a business model where you never have to purchase any inventory. For example, let&#;s assume someone wanted to buy a cell phone case. You create a website called www.oldyorkcellars.com that sells cell phone cases. They come into your website and they put in an order to purchase a case for $ 

What they don&#;t know, is that you actually don&#;t own any cell phone cases. You actually just go to a manufacturer of cell phone cases who make cell phone cases for $5. You then purchase a cell phone case from the manufacturer for $5 and send it to the person who bought it from your website for $ This gives you $15 worth of profit.

If you want to learn more about dropshipping and how you could start a drop-shipping business, check out our post on the topic here. We tell you everything you need to know about dropshipping and how you can get started fast. You can also listen to our podcast episode with Cameron Howard of Straight EComm LLC, where we discuss how Cam has made over 7 figures through the art of dropshipping and brand-building.

Make Money As A Teen By Becoming a Freelancer

If you choose to learn a high-income skill it becomes easier than ever to become a freelancer. A freelancer is someone who works for themselves instead of for a company. This means that people will pay you for certain tasks and that&#;s it. You aren&#;t salaried. The benefit of being a freelancer is since you don&#;t have a salary and benefits you can charge much higher than an average salaried employee.

If you want to become a freelancer because you are good at a particular skill we recommend opening up a Fiverr account. Fiverr is one of the biggest online marketplaces for freelancers. You can sell your services for as cheap as $5 in categories like digital marketing, video animation, and programming.

If you want to learn more about Fiverr and how you can get started with the platform, check out our breakdown of Fiverr here. 

Stream On Twitch

If you remember the Fortnite craze of you definitely remember Twitch. Twitch is a place where people can live stream themselves playing video games and make money by displaying ads on your profile. Some gamers have made millions of dollars a month from Twitch TV. Finally, you have an excuse for your parents about why you need to play video games more. 

Make Money As A Teen With An Instagram Theme Page

Instagram has over 1 billion people on the platform. Although most of us go on the platform to waste time, you can actually use the platform to make money. Let&#;s say you were interested in backyard activities. Things like grilling, landscaping, gardening, etc. You could create a page on Instagram that reposts the content of really cool gardens and backyards.

Once you build a following on this page, around 10 to 20 thousand followers, you will see that companies that sell products in that niche will reach out to you for a shout-out. You can charge them to place an ad on your Instagram page, you can work with influencers who would also like to work with your page, or you can sell the page in its entirety to a company. There are a lot of ways to make money off Instagram but these are some of the best ways to do so.

Make Money As A Teen Selling Stock Photos

Do you like photography? More specifically, do you like taking photos? If you do, you can start getting paid for your images. Plenty of businesses need stock images for their website and will go to platforms like Pexels, Pixabay, iStock, and Getty Images.  

If you like taking photos of nature, you can upload your pictures to these platforms. Every time someone downloads one of these images you get paid. 

Make Money As A Teen By Starting A Blog

I like this one a lot, not just because I own a blog, but because blogging is one of those things you can start at any age. While a lot goes into a blog, the only thing it really requires from you is the ability to put out content on a consistent basis. It doesn&#;t have to be every day, but you should be willing to at least commit to two blog posts a week.

Blogging isn&#;t one of those things that you can make money with as soon as you start. However, it can pay off big time down the road. In order to pick a topic for your blog, ask yourself, “What am I most interested in?” You&#;ll be surprised by how many things you can make money blogging about.

There are blogs around video games, sports, dating, and many more that make six figures a year all from just writing blog posts. If you want to learn how to start a blog and make money from it, check out our post on the topic here.

Sell Vintage Clothing On D-Pop and Etsy

Do you like vintage clothing? If so, you can sell vintage clothing on D-Pop or Etsy. These are awesome online marketplaces for people who can buy and sell clothing. It&#;s really easy to get started selling vintage clothing. All you need to do is find a local thrift store, Salvation Army, or a GoodWill and you can find clothes for pennies on the dollar.

Start Dropshipping on eBay and Amazon

How is this different from traditional dropshipping? In traditional dropshipping, you need to pay monthly for a platform like Shopify and then pay for ads to get people to your website. If you choose to dropship on eBay or Amazon you don&#;t need to pay for a platform. You also don&#;t need to pay for ads because people are already on eBay or Amazon. This is a much more low-cost way to get started in dropshipping if you have no money to invest.

Make Money As A Teen Managing Youtube Influencers

You might be thinking, “what?” Let me explain. When most people start a YouTube account, they do so because they love the topic that they post videos about. What few of them know is that it is very easy to monetize their account once they build an engaged audience. Let&#;s say there was a YouTuber who loved doing tricks with yo-yos. They might have tens of thousands or hundreds of thousand of subscribers who love their videos.

What you can do is reach out to them and ask them how much it would cost to place an advertisement in one of their videos. Some of them might not even have an answer as no one has asked them that question before. Once they give you an answer, reach out to yo-yo companies and say that you manage a YouTuber and it would cost $X to place one of their yo-yos in their video.

Make sure to give the company a number 10 times higher than what the YouTuber asked for. So if the Youtuber says they want $50, ask for $ from the company. Usually, the YouTuber won&#;t care that you make money as well as long as you give them the money they ask for. This is an easy way to get started as an unofficial manager. 

Start A Podcast

Over million Americans listen to podcasts. This is a perfect opportunity for you to start one about a topic you&#;re interested in. Although you can’t money with this overnight, this is something that could provide you a full-time income down the road. With so many people listening to podcasts, you can sell your own product, someone else&#;s product, or just do traditional advertising through your platform. If you&#;re interested in starting a podcast and want to learn more about it, you can check out our post on the topic here. 

Transcribing Audio Files

Many people with a podcast or YouTube account also have blogs to go along with it. However, with a blog, a Youtube account, and a podcast it is hard to create content for all their different platforms. A great way to create content without doing more work is transcribing their audio content to written content. Most content creators will happily outsource this as no one likes to transcribe audio files.

Luckily, you won&#;t have to transcribe them either. Reach out to people with a YouTube account or podcast, and tell them that you will transcribe their audio files for $2 a minute. From there, go to www.oldyorkcellars.com where they transcribe audio files for $ a minute. If they ask you to transcribe a minute video, that can be an easy twenty bucks for doing no work. Also, if they are producing a lot of videos, this can be recurring revenue for you. 

Investing In The Stock Market

Unless you are a penny stock trading whiz like Connor Brueggemann, you will not make money quickly by investing in the stock market. The stock market should be looked at as a long-term way to make money. However, if you start investing at 18 just $20 a week into the stock market, 10 years later you would have over $16,! And that&#;s just with $20 a week. As you get older and start making more money you can invest more in the market.

A nice goal to have is to invest at least 10% of your paycheck into the stock market. If you want to learn more about financial literacy and investing a good book to read is the Automatic Millionaire by David Bach. In this book, he shows you that if you can automate your investing in the stock market, you can become a millionaire even if you never make more than $50, a year.

How To Make Money As A Teen With Apps

Making money from apps takes two seconds. Although apps are extremely easy to get started with, they usually pay out the least amount of money. For most of these options, you won&#;t get rich, but if you are looking for a quick way to make money as a teen, apps are a great option for you.

Start a TikTok Page

When you think of Tik Tok you might just think of it as a place you go for laughs and entertainment. However, there are many people who are making great money from Tik Tok.

If you can become an influencer on the platform companies will pay you to promote their product on your page. Similar to other influencers like Addison Rae and Charli D&#;Amelio, you can create your own branded merchandise or clothing line.

Sign Up For Swag Bucks

You&#;ve probably heard of Swagbucks before. When you sign up and make a profile you can then answer surveys, watch videos, and shop online to make money. Once you’ve interacted with the app enough, they will then pay you out with free gift cards to your favorite retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Target, and more. Since they started, they have paid out over million dollars to their users.

Sign Up For VIP Voice

VIP Voice allows you to download their app on all of your devices. All you have to do is just use the internet the way you would today.

How To Make Money As A Teen With A Part Time Job

This is the most traditional way to make money as a teen. Although these aren&#;t as scalable as starting your own neighborhood or online business, they can offer a steady stream of revenue for you. As a teen trying to make money, this can be a great way to get started.

Become A Bus Boy

Becoming a busboy is something you can do at any age, and most restaurants are in need. You don&#;t need any experience and you can even get free meals. If you work there long enough, you might even get promoted to a waiter.

This is great because as a waiter you not only get paid your regular wage but you also get paid tips. This is a great way to learn about customer service and multitasking.

Work At A Retail Store

Whether you live near a Macys, Target, or Walmart retail stores are constantly hiring part-time workers. The majority of your workday will be folding clothes, manning the cash register, or making sure things are where they need to be. The work isn&#;t too demanding, and as a teen, you can usually work as much as you want allowing you to make as much money as you&#;d like.

Make Money As A Teen Working At An Amazon Warehouse

This is another job that you can turn from a part-time job into a full-time job during times like the summer. You have to be okay with being on your feet and being able to lift objects of up to 30 lbs.

Not only will this give you great experience with operations, but it&#;s also a great resume builder. Everyone knows Amazon and having that on a resume can be leveraged to get different positions.

Become A Golf Caddy

This is one of the best ways to make money as a teen. Golf is considered a &#;rich man&#;s&#; sport so if you can become a golf caddy you can find yourself around people who have a lot of money. The job also isn&#;t too hard. You mainly are in charge of carrying the golfer&#;s bag, keeping the clubs clean, and walking ahead of the golfer to locate their ball.

This is great if you already love golf and like spending time with other golfers. Not only will you be around golf all day, but you will also have an opportunity to pick the brain of the golfers and ask them questions about their careers. Hearing their perspective about careers and money can help you acquire knowledge that it took them years to figure out.

Key Takeaways

Many people believe you cannot make money as a teen. However, you are never too young to make money. That&#;s because you are never too young to provide value. The education system never teaches people how money works. Let me briefly explain. Many people look at money as a goal in life. However, money in and of itself has no value. What money has is the ability to purchase the things that you want. It is a medium of exchange.

The way money gets transferred is through a value proposition. The reason why a candy bar cost $1 is that that is the value of a candy bar. No more no less. The reason a Ferrari costs hundreds of thousands of dollars is that that is the value of a Ferrari.

If you want to make money as a teen you need to start thinking about what value can you provide to someone and at what price. When I started dog walking I saw that the average person charged $15 for a minute walk. So I charged $8. I eventually worked up to $$20 a walk, but I understood that if I wanted to enter the business I should provide more value than the money I was asking for. Once I was able to establish a reputation for myself then I was able to increase the cost of my service.

When trying to make money as a teen, think the exact same way. With these 60+ strategies, you have more than enough options to get started on your entrepreneurial journey. All it&#;s going to take now is for you to take action, be patient, and show up day in and day out. Wishing you all the best of luck. 

It’s a pretty common thing for young adults to look for ways to make money as a teen.

Chances are your parents provide the basics like food and clothing, but they may require you to use your own money to pay for extras like entertainment, electronics, and name brand items.

Even if your parents cover most or all your expenses, it’s helpful to make your own money so you can save up for larger purchases like your first car or college.

You can even start investing as a teen! Plus, working early helps beef up your resume and gives you valuable experience.

A reminder before you get further into this post: Be sure to check with your parents before attempting any of these money-making ventures. They may have some input into what you can handle, and you’ll want to be sure you have their permission.

They may have requirements for you to consider as you investigate these different opportunities (good grades, curfew, etc.).

How to Make Money as a Teen

Whether you’re looking for a part-time job or you’d rather work for yourself; you want to make money online or polish your sales skills, there are lots of ways to make money as a teen.

Below are some of the best and easiest options to get started.

Yes, getting a part-time job is the most obvious way to make money as a teen. But there’s a reason for that: once you’re hired, you’ll get paid for the hours that you work. It’s very low-risk, and you’ll get a guaranteed rate per hour.

It’s not always fun to work for someone else, but you’ll learn a lot through the process. You’ll make connections for references – not to mention friends! – and gain valuable on-the-job experience that will help you later in life. Hey, we all must start somewhere!

To find a part-time job, ask friends and family for connections, check websites for job listings, or just ask for a job application. Keep in mind that many part-time jobs are not available to younger teens.

Here are some common and not-so-common part-time jobs to consider.

1. Work in a Restaurant

Whether it’s a fast-food joint or a sit-down restaurant, food service establishments are almost always looking for help. You could work in the front as a cashier or host, bring food to guests as a server, or clean up afterward as a busser or dishwasher.

Perks include tips for some positions and discounted or free meals, depending on where you work. Keep in mind that hours can be odd, but child labor laws mean that you won’t have to work too late if you’re under

2. Get a Newspaper Route

Believe it or not, some people still read the newspaper! This tried-and-true position is still available for early birds looking to make some money.

You’ll most likely need to get up early to navigate your neighborhood and deliver newspapers, and access to a vehicle would certainly make the job easier.

The local papers near me require a driver’s license, but smaller papers may not have that same restriction. It’s worth a look!

3. Deliver Food or Pizza

Another delivery job is for food, especially pizza. Delivery requirements vary by company, but you’ll for sure need a license and a reliable vehicle.

Think about when people order food – nights and weekends mostly, right? Chances are if you’re a teen, that’s when you’ll have availability in your schedule. With an hourly rate plus tips, this could be a good money-making venture.

An easy way to make money today is through Mistplay, where you can get paid for playing games on your smartphone.

4. Work in Retail

I’ve heard it said that everyone should work retail at some point in their lives. Retail offers a lot of flexibility in terms of schedule and hours, which is great for teens who need to go to school during the week.

Many large retailers like Target or Walmart require employees to be at least 16, and there are lots of different jobs available at these retailers.

You can be a cashier and deal directly with customers, or work in the back of the store stocking shelves and cleaning up.

You could enjoy an employee discount on merchandise and sign up for seasonal work to earn a little extra cash around the holidays or in the summertime.

5. Work in a Grocery Store

Grocery stores typically hire teens starting at age 16, as well. And they’re always looking for help, it seems. As with retailer, you can deal directly with customers as a cashier or grocery bagger, or keep more to yourself by handling carts, restocking shelves, or cleaning up.

6. Work in a Movie Theater

A very popular job for teens who want to make money is working in a movie theater. First off, lots of teens already work there, so you’ll be working with your peers and can make some friends.

You can also enjoy the air conditioning on hot summer days and even watch free movies, depending on your position. Jobs in a movie theater include ticket seller, ticket taker, concession stand worker, janitor, and more.

7. Become a Referee/Umpire

Chances are you played a sport as a young child, right? Or maybe you’re still playing? Well, you probably have some extensive knowledge of the rules of that sport.

Sports associations and parks and recreation programs need referees, umpires, and officials for games.

This is a job that can even be done when you’re younger if the association is desperate enough. For example, my 9-year-old son has been umpired by teens as young as 14 at some of his baseball games. (They’ve done a really good job, too!)

This can be good money for teens, too – typically it’s a flat rate per game that can add up quickly.

8. Work as a Golf Caddy

Working as a golf caddy is a great option for younger tees, as typically you can start at age 14 or even younger. Be prepared to haul around someone else’s golf clubs and spend the day outside.

This is a great way to work on your interpersonal skills and make connections.

Golf caddies work for an hourly rate and may also receive tips and other perks like free tee time.

With our ever-expanding technology, making money online is a great option for teens. There are some easy options out there which you can do while you’re waiting in line or riding in a car. And some online money-making opportunities lead to passive income…you’ll be making money in your sleep!

Here are some different ways to make money online as a teen.

9. Take Surveys

I’ll be honest…filling out surveys is not the most thrilling way to make money. And you may feel like these websites are a scam. But really, there are lots of legit survey companies out there.

One of my favorites is Survey Junkie as they have a low cash out requirement of $5.

They also have a Trustpilot score of /5, so other people also like using them as well.

You won’t make a ton of cash, but it’s easy to do and can be done while you’re just sitting around. Plus, lots of these websites accept younger panelists (13+).

One more tip if you’re looking to go this route: sign up for a separate email address to use just for surveys. That way your normal email inbox won’t be clogged up with mail and you’ll be able to see your available surveys all in one spot.

Make Money With Surveys

• Easy to Use
• Get Cash Quickly
• Low payout minimum

Search with Swagbucks

One company I didn’t mention in the previous point is Swagbucks – yes, you can take surveys through Swagbucks, but there are lots of other things you can do with Swagbucks.

You’ll earn “Swagbucks” for performing activities like playing games, watching videos, searching the Internet, and even doing your online shopping through Swagbucks!

You won’t make a ton of money, but it’s a nice little extra. Plus, you only need to be 13 to sign up for a Swagbucks account.

Start a YouTube Channel

Several teens – and even younger! – have successful YouTube channels. I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of them and wondered how you can start one yourself.

Figure out your niche – what you’re interested in – and just try it out! As you create videos, you’ll find your style. Once you have enough subscribers, you can add ads to your channel and/or affiliate methods that give you a kickback when people purchase products through your links.

Need some ideas? How about how-to videos, movie reviews, or music reviews? Pick an area you excel in and start sharing your knowledge.

While it can take a while to make money from your YouTube channel, it can eventually turn into passive income…earning money when you’re not even working on it!

Learn a Skill and Freelance

There are so many skills that businesses and people need help with, especially online. And yes, you can even help if you’re a teen! Just be sure you know what you’re doing and present yourself professionally.

Here are some different skills you can develop:

• Writing/copywriting
• Social media management
• Digital marketing
• Coding
• Bookkeeping
• Graphic design
• Proofreading

If you’re confident in your abilities, you can reach out to small local businesses to see if they need any help with any of the above. Social media management is an especially looked-for skill these days…and you’re already on Instagram anyway, right?

As with some of these other options, it takes some effort to get started making money this way, but once you start and have some happy clients, you may end up with more work than you ever dreamed of!

If you’re not quite ready to start your own business this way, consider signing up for a Fiverr account (you can start at age 13) to find opportunities that way. Fiverr is a marketplace for buying and selling freelance services for $5 and up.

Start a Blog

Yes, even teens can start a blog! If you have a passion about a topic, start writing! Teach people what you know and share your experiences. There’s a wealth of information out there about how to make money with a blog, but it starts with quality, consistent content.

Blogging can be a great way to earn passive income, but keep in mind that it may take a long time to get started earning money with a blog.

That’s why it’s important to blog about something you’re passionate about and add content regularly. Eventually, you’ll be able to monetize your blog with ads, affiliate links, and sponsored posts.

Play Video Games

What teen doesn’t love video games?! Did you know that you may even be able to get paid for playing video games? If you’re good at video games, people may be interested in watching videos or a live stream of you playing.

Set up an account at one of these online platforms to get started:

• Twitch: Get paid with donations, or apply to become a Twitch partner and get paid for serving ads when you reach regular viewer count
• Mixer: Ask for donations, or become a Mixer partner and make money from ads
• YouTube: See above!

Building an audience can take time, but hey, you’re having fun playing video games anyway, right?

While it’s beneficial to earn a steady wage by working for someone else, it can be more lucrative – and fun! – to work for yourself. Plus, you’ll gain some good entrepreneurial experience starting your own business, however simple it may be.

You can set your hours and keep all the profits, but on the flip side, you’ll need to get out and look for work by asking friends and family, networking with others, and advertising.

Don’t forget to get your parents’ input as you figure out ways to make money for yourself – they may have some good ideas that are a good fit for you.

Here are some different ways teens can make money by working for themselves.

Do Yardwork

Just about everyone needs yardwork, no matter the season. In the spring, you can plant seeds and scoop dog poop. In the summer, you can mow lawns and pull weeds. In the fall, you can rake leaves and paint fences. And in the winter, you can shovel snow and clear icicles.

To drum up work, ask your parents or neighbors and check out apps like NextDoor to see if anyone is looking for help with their yard.

Lots of adults are busy and don’t have time to take care of their yard, so chances are good you can set your prices way under what a landscaping company charges and you’ll still make plenty of money.

Starting your own lawn care/yardwork business is a great opportunity for younger teens who may not be able to hold a part-time job yet.

It also offers a lot of flexibility as you can juggle clients according to their and your unique schedules. Set up a schedule to stay on top of things and you’ll get plenty of repeat customers and referrals.

Tutor

If you excel in a subject in school – especially math, science, English, or a foreign language – consider tutoring younger students. Some parents are looking for extra help for their children, and that’s where you come in to give extra guidance with homework and assistance with learning.

Tutoring is a valuable experience for teens who are thinking of becoming teachers, too. It’s a great skill that can be continued as a college student and beyond. You can set your hours and charge a decent hourly rate.

Spread the word by providing flyers to local schools and talking with friends, family, or neighbors.

Pet Sit and Dog Walk

Love animals? Consider pet sitting and/or dog walking as a way to make money as a teen. Just be sure you’re comfortable with pets! You’ll get some exercise while having some fun with animals.

Lots of adults are looking for help with their pets while they’re away at work or on vacation. You may be able to just stop by their house to let the dog out or take it for a walk, or you can pet sit at your house (just be sure to ask your parents first!).

Cats and fish are super easy to pet sit as you usually just need to feed them and maybe clean out a litter box or fishbowl on occasion. Dogs, on the other hand, usually need some more attention as they need to be walked at least once a day.

If you’re coordinated enough and the dogs get along, you can walk multiple dogs at once to streamline the work.

Young teens can ask their neighbors if they need some help with their pet, or you can visit a dog park and pass out flyers if you’re willing to travel a little farther for your business.

Become a Babysitter or Parent’s Helper

One of the first ways to make money as a teen is babysitting. This is primarily the way I made money when I was younger before I got a steady part-time job. I love children and babies, so it was a perfect fit!

Parents are always looking for good recommendations for babysitting, so start by watching kids of people you already know and encourage them to tell others about your services. Word of mouth is the best way to get babysitting jobs!

If you want to earn more per hour, take classes for extra certification – especially CPR. Parents like to know that their children are in safe, capable hands. Just be prepared to give up some of your social life as a babysitter, since parents typically need babysitters for nights and weekends.

You may also be interested in becoming a parent’s helper (typically called a “mother’s helper”…but hey, dads may need help, too).

This is someone who typically helps the parent while they are at home, acting as an extra set of hands. This job may involve childcare, but you also could be asked to prepare meals, organize laundry, or do the dishes.

Whether you’re selling your stuff or other people’s stuff (with permission!), selling items is a great way to make quick cash as a teen and, in some cases, declutter a space, too.

These methods allow you to sharpen your salesmanship skills and help the environment, too, especially as people move toward buying used rather than new both to save money and to “save the trees.”

Sell Your Old Stuff

Take inventory of what you have – do you need all those things? If your parents permit you, or if you bought things yourself, why not sell them?

Here are some different ideas for what you could sell:

• Bicycle
• Clothes
• Video games and gaming items
• Old technology and electronics
• Sporting goods
• Toys
• Jewelry
• Stuffed animals
• DVDs
• CDs

There are so many places you can sell your excess. Facebook Marketplace is probably the easiest (if you use Facebook, that is), but there’s also Craigslist, eBay, and the good old-fashioned garage sale. Price your items to sell to get rid of them quickly.

A general rule of thumb is to charge around 10% of the retail price. Larger-ticket items can be priced a little higher, especially if they’re in excellent condition.

I’ve said this already, but it’s worth repeating: check with your parents first to see if they’re OK with you selling these items. If they bought them for you, they may want them back and/or pass them on to someone else.

If they’re hesitant, you can always offer to do the work of selling and then split the profit with them. Maybe they’ll even want you to sell their things!

Resell Items

Even if you don’t have a lot to sell, you can still make money reselling items. What this means is that you spot deals in thrift stores or garage sales and the like, then resell them online, like on eBay. Technically it’s called “online arbitrage.”

The name of the game is to buy low, sell high. This takes a bit of practice, but if you love the thrill of finding a good deal or a unique item, this could be a great way to make money as a teen.

Make and Sell Crafts and Homemade Items

If you’re especially crafty, selling your wares is a fun money-making option. Many people love the look of handmade crafted items but don’t have the talent to do it themselves.

One option is to create an Etsy or Amazon store (you’ll need a parent or garden to help you set it up). Then go nuts putting your items together and sharing them with the masses!

Selling fees on both stores are minimal, but you’ll still need to remember to price your items fairly so you’re not making pennies per hour.

Sell Stock Photos

Everyone has a camera on their phone, but not everyone has an eye for awesome shots. Businesses and blogs are always in need of high-quality photos for online content.

Upload your photos to stock photo websites and you’ll get paid for each download.

Some of the best websites to use include:

A tip: don’t just use your phone for these images. Find a quality camera and learn how to use it to make your photos stand out. It can be a fun hobby that also brings in some extra cash!

Sell Stuff at School

My husband started making money this way when he was a freshman in high school at his boarding school.

He would walk to the store down the street from the school and stock up on candy, gum, soda, snacks, and the like, then head back to his dorm and sell it for profit when fellow students needed a treat later on.

You may not go to boarding school, but you can no doubt do the same type of thing at your school.

Think of yourself as a traveling vending machine. Hey, selling candy bars is a popular fundraising method, so why not just do it yourself? Just make sure it’s not against school rules.

Stock up at warehouse clubs (if your parents have a membership) and/or watch sales to get great deals. During the summer, you may be able to extend your business to sell at local parks and events.

Summary

Truth be told, this list just scratches the surfaces of the ways to make money as a teen. Take some time to think about your strengths and interests and see if there’s a money-making opportunity for you related to that.

With a little bit of effort and action, you can be making money in no time!

As a teen interested in entrepreneurship, I know there are better ways of making money while in high school that isn't taught in school (and isn't a simple job at Starbucks either).

Many of these I've tried or have had friends who have done successfully but you still need to be serious and driven to accomplish www.oldyorkcellars.com that is you, then these are the best ways of making a significant amount of money while still in high school.

1. Make an App

I know this one sounds impossible -- but it's not. A friend of mine did exactly that and is earning income per month passively from a simple multiplication app on the iOS app store.

She didn't have much technical experience, but she was motivated to take a course on Udemy (the exact course listed below) and built the app when she was still in high school. You can also have an app built in under 3 months following a tutorial like the ones below.

If you find a certain need and market it well, simple ways to make money as a teenager could charge $1 for every download and/or make money from in-app ads.

2. Photograph an Event

You only need one client to start a business! See if one of your parents or parents' friends are hosting an event where you can charge for your photography skills!

If you don't have a nice camera, you can rent one and take a photography class online. Once you take pictures at one event, you can get a referral to start photographing other events!

Senior pictures are also a great opportunity to use your photography skills! Put your name out there -- talk to parents, fellow students -- and get your first job.

3. Get a Music Gig

Are you a good singer? Do you know anyone who would want to be in a band? You could reach out to some restaurants/café and send them recordings of your songs and/or covers.

If they like your music, they might agree to hire you to perform in their restaurant or café (especially if it's a local, family-run place).

Gigs like this are how Taylor Swift started her career when she was a teenager!

4. Tutor Friends

Are you really good at math? Did you score really well on the PSAT? You could be a tutor and get paid $20 or more per hour!

Not only does it help the person you're tutoring and let you earn money, but it also gives you a refresher on an old subject so that you can do better in your current classes. If you tutor a subject that you love, it doesn't even need to feel like work!

To find someone to tutor, just ask your parents or friends' parents if they know anyone who needs help. Often, students are embarrassed and won't admit they need a tutor, and that's why it's important to talk to parents.

5. Get Paid for your Design Skills

Tons of people are looking online right now on UpWork for creative people to help them design their logos/websites/media etc. You can sign up for a freelancer account and submit your cover letter/resume for available job openings. This should only be for people who already have experience in graphic simple ways to make money as a teenager and/or art.

If you don't yet, I suggest first taking a class online likethis one and building up a portfolio.

6. Make Money Organizing Events

Put those good leadership skills to work and help adults organize events! You could be paid as an assistant or even find people who need to have an event organized.

One idea is organizing birthday parties for small children. It's often a headache for parents with best performing investment funds uk time and kids with high expectations. You can take that responsibility off them by organizing an amazing birthday party with fun games and cute decorations.

If one kid goes to an amazing party you organized, they'll tell their parents they want you to organize their birthday as well. That's where you can turn this idea into a business.

7. Sell at a Farmers Market Stand

Don't be shy -- just walk up to some and ask if they're hiring at your local farmers market! Some might be interested in letting you work a shift or two throughout the day.

If you have something to sell such as hand-made jewelry or lemonade, simple ways to make money as a teenager, you could also go through the paperwork of setting up your own stand!

If you don't have a farmer's market in your area, another option is to cater at an event. Unlike a farmer's market stand which usually only happens certain times out of the year, catering can turn into a profitable business simple ways to make money as a teenager can give you more flexibility in your schedule, and of course, has the possibility of growing much more than a traditional stand at a farmer's market.

8. Start a Computer/Phone Service Company

Before you count yourself out as someone who doesn't know much about computers -- remember how much more you know as a millennial about phones/computers than your grandparents or even your parents.

You wouldn't necessarily realize it now, but as a teen, you're likely more tech-savvy than you realize. And if there's something you don't know how to do, I'm betting you'd do a lot better following a tutorial online than your older client would.

All you need is one client or family member to pay for your help setting up their phone, fixing their iTunes account, or installing some software, etc., and you're off to the races.

Ask around your neighborhood to see if anyone needs help. You only need one person to hire you to start your business: Entrepreneurship: How To Start A Business From Business Idea >>

*Tip: learning CPR beforehand is extremely helpful and often a requirement!

Referee Sports Games

Do you know a certain sport really well? Did you grow up playing a sport?

I know some friends who earn $ for reffing one soccer game. That's not bad at all for a minute game. You can search for reffing opportunities in your community or ask a local high school/club coach.

Usually, there's a training you need to take before getting your first game, but after that, you can decide which times/games work best with your schedule.

Sign up for Wag

• Candy
• Soda/Energy drinks
• Gum
• Baseball hats (or other accessories/clothing)

4. Start a Youtube Channel

These days, there's no shortage of teenage YouTubers making thousands of dollars per month from Youtube ad revenue alone. The average Youtube channel makes anywhere from $1-$20 per thousand views, so with a good library of videos, the earnings can really stack up.

Best of all, a year-old can start a Youtube channel, so you can get started early. And the sooner you start, the better.

Growing a Youtube channel is no easy feat but if you consistently upload and experiment with different types of videos, your chances of gaining traction go way up.

Tip: Create your content strategically. Do research beforehand to ensure there's an audience that'll be interested in what you're creating. In the beginning, you want to target keywords (i.e. particular searches like &#;best knick-knacks&#;) that are semi-popular but also not too competitive.

5. Create Content on Social Media

Similar to Youtube, teenagers are now making a killing on social media. Whether it's TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, or even Twitter (although that crowd is a bit different), there's just so much opportunity for content creators these days.

Don't get me wrong though: this is an ultra-competitive space as well. For every big success story you see, there are thousands of failures.

Still, that doesn't mean you shouldn't give it a shot.

At the least, if you enjoy creating content (even if you're not making money from it), keep at it! You'll learn new skills, have fun, and you might even go viral. This can lead to sponsorships, ad revenue, and more.

6, simple ways to make money as a teenager. Sell Your Old Stuff

Got an old BMX bike that you don't ride anymore? Or maybe an old iPhone you don't use? Sell them!

We're so connected on social media these days you can easily post something up to see if one of your friends wants to buy it. This is one of the easiest ways to make a quick buck.

Here are some ideas of what you could sell:

• Clothes
• Books
• Video games
• Electronics
• Sports goods
• Toys
• Jewelry
• Stuffed animals

Take a look around your room/house and see if there's anything you don't really use anymore that someone else might find valuable. As you find things, put them together in one area.

Next, you can do some research on Facebook Marketplace/eBay/Craigslist/etc. to see how much other people are selling similar items for. This will help you price your products competitively.

Once you're ready to make sales, take some high-quality photos of each item (from multiple angles) and start listing!

7. Install Data-Sharing Apps

If you have a mobile phone, tablet, or PC, you can earn a small amount of passive income by installing software that anonymously collects and shares data around your device usage.

This simple ways to make money as a teenager won't look at sensitive info like your call/text history or passwords. Instead, it wants to see things like the apps you use, websites you visit, and the amount of time you spend on your devices.

Collected data is then anonymized, aggregated, simple ways to make money as a teenager shared with other companies who use the data to improve their products, services, and marketing campaigns.

If you want to learn more, here are a couple of apps you can get started with:

• SurveySavvy ($$/year) &#; Pays $5/month for each device (PC, tablet, or mobile), up to 3 devices. So you can earn up to $ a year.
• MobileXpression(Earn $10 in your first week) &#; This one is open to those 18+ only, but you can join at 13+ as long as your parent or guardian has given consent.
• Reklaim &#; Looking to put your data back in your own control, Reklaim pays anyone 16 years or older to share their data willingly. They also help you track your data around the web in order to stay safe from things like password breaches.
• Ipsos Screenwise &#; This one requires a personal invitation, so you probably won't be able to join.

I'd highly suggest reading their FAQs, terms, and privacy policies if you're concerned about what info you'll be sharing.

8. Get Paid to Search the Web

Similar to data sharing, there are some apps and browser extensions that'll pay you exclusively for your browsing data (e.g. search history and visited websites).

This data is then typically anonymized and aggregated and sold to marketing companies. For example, a company might pay to see the top sites that year-old males are visiting.

Here are some of the popular options for making money with your browsing data:

• Surf (must be legal age of majority) (US and Canada only) &#; This one is essentially completely passive. Just browse and earn!
• Invisibly (must be 16 years or older) &#; Similar to Surf.
• Qmee &#; Qmee's paid search feature is a bit different than the two extensions above. As you browse, Qmee will occasionally show paid ads that you can click for a few easy cents.

9. Become a Tutor

If you excel at a certain skill, capitalize on it! Try finding others who want to learn something that you're good at, and charge them for lessons. Not only can this net you a good amount of consistent income, but it'll also give you some great experience for your resume and future endeavors.

The list is really endless, you just have to find someone who wants to learn something. Once you know what you want to teach, you can advertise around your school, with flyers around your neighborhood/library, or online on social media or Nextdoor.

You can also try signing up for Superprof, an online tutoring marketplace that hosts tutors from around the world.

If you end up really enjoying tutoring, once you get into college you can look into higher-paying online tutoring jobs.

Launch an Online Course

Similar to tutoring or creating educational Youtube content, creating an online course can be a great way to make money. However, simple ways to make money as a teenager, in order to succeed, you have to have something unique and valuable to offer. In most cases, you'll need to be quite experienced at a certain skill or subject.

For example, can you juggle really well? Are you really good at playing the simple ways to make money as a teenager Can you speed-read like no other?

There's a good chance whatever you think of will have some existing competition. That's okay &#; it's actually a good thing as it shows there's demand. What you need to do is make your course unique and show off your personality. People buy courses from instructors they can relate to, so use that to your advantage!

Once you have an idea for your course in mind, you have a few hosting platforms to choose from:

• Skillshare (must be 16 years or older)
• Teachable(must be 13 years or older)
• Udemy(must be 13/16 years or older depending on where you live)

Each of these platforms requires parental/guardian consent in order for you to get started.

Learn a Profitable Skill

I wish I had focused more on learning profitable skills when I was younger. I did my fair share, but I also sunk a lot of time into Minecraft and Halo, which weren't exactly paying the bills.

As a teen, you have a huge advantage over most other people: time. The earlier you start learning and experimenting with new skills, simple ways to make money as a teenager, the better your chances of finding something you enjoy and are good at, and the more valuable you become down the line.

You may not be able to monetize your skills right away, but by starting early, you'll be way ahead of your peers, and you'll be able to charge a lot more for your services/employment in the future.

If you're not sure what to learn, here are some profitable skills to look into:

• Sales
• Social media management
• Digital marketing (e.g. SEO, paid advertising, etc.)

Once you get some more experience, you could put up posters around your neighborhood advertising your dog walking services, or you can make a post on Nextdoor.

Pet Sit

Just like dog walking, you'll have a better chance at succeeding with this gig if you already have some experience taking care of your own/other people's pets.

As a pet sitter, you'll basically go to peoples houses and take care of their pet while they're away (e.g. at work, on vacation, etc.).

Babysit

Babysitting is one of the most popular ways for teens to make money because it pays well and it's a pretty easy job in most cases.

The best way to get started as a babysitter is by babysitting for family friends/people you already know. They'll be more likely to give you a chance, and if you do a good job, they might recommend you to other parents and/or give you a nice review/testimonial.

To jumpstart this process, try getting your parents to tell their friends about your babysitting services. If they can post about you on Facebook (or wherever other parents will see), that's even better!

Once you have more experience and recommendations, try signing up for some of these babysitting job apps and websites (Bambino is a popular one that allows teens as young as 13 years old to sign up). These will help you gather more testimonials and they'll work as nice client acquisition channels.

Note: If you don't want to jump right into babysitting, you can also look for a &#;mother's assistant&#; job. This will involve helping a mother out with tasks while she's at home. The apps I linked to above can help you find these types of jobs as well.

Collect Bottles and Cans

Every year a bunch of my family members get together and have a family picnic. It's a whole lot of fun and there are always a lot of empty cans and bottles lying around at the end of it all.

When I was a kid, I would go around and collect everybody's bottles and cans in a big trash bag. Later in the week, I would ask my mom nicely if she could drive me to the bottle depot, where I'd cash in on my bounty.

Each can net me at least $ each, which isn't a ton, but it definitely added up. I typically walked out of the depot $$20 richer, which made me feel like a boss.
