Money Making Ideas for Kids and Teens

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I have recently received several e-mails off young teens asking me how I would make money in today’s climate if I was a teen again (if only).

This is a great question and the topic makes for a great article. So after considerable thought here are my ways in which I would make money if I was child now.

Hopefully this post will unleash a few budding entrepreneurs who will be able to take an early exit from the Rat Race!

Option 1

If you have a skill or talent; think about offering your friends and family lessons or tutoring. An example of this could be guitar lessons or football coaching.

There are quite a few ‘oldies’ out there who are only just discovering computers and new technology; if you are a wiz kid there is fantastic potential to earn money by helping them set up and operate new equipment.

Option 2

If you are competent on the internet and have a passion for something in life; consider starting your own blog using Wordpress. My passions are business and maximising on life; hence RatRaceWinner.com. When you get a decent following of readers you can look at selling advertising space on your website and even consider affiliate marketing with a Company like Affiliate Window.

Option 3

Sign up to Squidoo.com and make a Lens (a webpage). Squidoo is a super-simple, fun and powerful way to share your interests, build your online identity and connect with new readers and friends. It’s completely free, and you can earn a royalty. Some Lensmasters actually make a living on Squidoo! I definantley recommend this.

Option 4

Sign up to Hubpages and make a hub (a webpage). List your affiliate links on each article you write and make sure its optimised for websites using low competition keyword phrases.

Option 5

Consider undertaking paid online surveys and paid to click jobs. I recommend you look at CashCrate.com. They work with companies like Barns and Noble, Blockbuster, Circuit City, etc and you get paid on average £1.00 per survey. Its possible to make about £50 per week.
