How can you make money as a teenager?

January 20th, 2013 Leave a comment Go to comments

I’d like to make a lot of money. Haha, wouldn’t everybody? I’m serious though. I’m fourteen, can play the flute rather well, I’m good at drawing, I’m good at babysitting, also good at taekwondo, good with animals, and really good at writing. But with all these skills, what jobs can I do? If you find any adds on the internet within the PA region that needs anyone with my skills, that would be nice. Oh yes, and don’t tell me I can babysit for money, I already know that, and don’t say "lemonade stand". So yes, if you find anything, please send a link back here.

Thank you!
Also, please don’t tell me about how you can make all this money on the internet. It would be nice if you could, but there are too many scams out there nowadays and I don’t want to be suckered into them. So please, only stuff I may do in real life.

Although thank you for trying to those who told me about a survey site, it’s the thought that counts. 🙂

Here’s a short list of jobs which you can create to generate income:

1. Learn calligraphy so that you can provide handwritten invitations and thank you notes to prospective wedding parties, birthday celebrations, etc. Seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples. A starter calligraphy kit usually runs around $20 and anyone can easily pick up this skill. The going rate is usually $1 per hand addressed item.

2. Become a "poser" who assists wedding photographers in setting and arranging various individuals in group and single photographic positions. "Posers" carry around a sketch book of various sitting and standing poses which consists of onion skin overlays of various wedding pictures bound in albums. Again, contact local wedding photographers and wedding planners, accordingly. The hourly pay is around $10-$12 per hour and you are often invited to attend all dining activities.

3. Seek from your neighbors a gardner position which involves planting, weed removal, plant/tree trimming, light brush clearance. You will be using the neighbor’s equipment and tools. Again, do not represent yourself as a lawn mower since there are any number of safety issues involved. A door-to-door solicitation of surrounding neighbors is required and you can charge between $6 to $9 per hour.

4. Offer policing/removal or clearance of trash services to surrounding neighbors which involve trash pickup within nearby residential area. Limit the extent of pickup to small areas and be aware that there are no hazardous terrain or elements involved in this process. Again, a door-to-door solicitation of neighbors is in order. You can charge between $6.75 to $7.50 per hour.

5. Acquire a set of window cleaning tools [a bucket, liquid window cleaner, sponge, squeegee, handle with an extension and a small step ladder] and solicit local businesses for your window cleaning services. However, be careful to limit the height of the window cleaning to no higher than one story. Charge $1 per window panel.

6. Become a proxy/stand-in for neighbors to allow delivery of goods and packages to your home/apartment. Acquire the authority to sign any receipt of incoming packages as an accepting neighbor. Charge $1 per each package handled by you.

7. Consider becoming a restaurant-cafe customer liaison by using your cell phone at restaurants-cafes to coordinate with the hostess to keep track of waiting customers. Whenever there’s a very long period of time to activate a waiting list, you want to offer the restaurant your services so that customers do not have to stand around for any lengthy period of time. And when their name/assigned number comes up; you can call the upcoming customer’s cell phone to tell them that they can return to the restaurant and be served. The call back fee is usually around $0.50 cents on a per head basis. For example, a couple would be charged $1.00 while children under 6 would not be charged. Placement of a plaque which outlines your fee schedule near the hostess station is sufficient to garner attention of prospective customers who will value your services since they can do other activities outside of the restaurant — often beyond the range of any inhouse paging system. You realize that everyone has a cellphone and why not take advantage of the connectivity to make the diner’s experience worthwhile. The restaurant will also appreciate the added service you are providing as a customer liaison.

8. Why not become a paid feeder servicing the disabled at nearby nursing, convalescent, assisted living/care centers and hospitals. It involves feeding food to patients who are unable to feed themselves. The starting rate is $8.00 per hour. The only downside is that one has to take precautions to wash one’s hands after each feeding. A posting of your services [by a business card or flyer] on a reviewable bulletin board would be enough to generate customers. The paid feeder position is one of the fastest growing occupation at this time.

Good luck!

    i think there is a 2-year course in college to do a professional baby day care. i think it is worth to look at this. think of this professional babysitting. first, when you have that piece of paper that says you finished the course, you can charge higher. next you can do it as a business like a day care center… but you need to start small like 1 baby at a time.

    HONESTLY, at 14 ( and I know you don’t want to hear it – but you put it out there…) … I would hone in on the babysitting talent!!! You can make some good(easy) money over the summer- as well as the school year (nights and weekends). Generally in my area parents pay about $10/hr OR $6-7/hr per child… to put your competition behind you, take an American Red Cross Babysitting Course http://www.redcross.org/services/hss/courses/babyindex.html , then add your name to the local Am Red Cross website/ hospitals/local hotels/ or with your local high school career center (parents are always calling for referrals)… there are always parents of youngsters in search of a wonderful , reliable, trustworthy babysitter!!!

    Making flyers for the grocery store and local bulletins boards in always good too!!!
    Babysitting is DEFINITELY a money-making network to consider… especially at your age!!!

    You could sell portraits, or do pet grooming in people’s homes(which seems especially good, noone really likes dragging their pet to the vet). Or just keep babysitting, in summertime people will need it with kids being off from school but parents still needing to work.
