 Teenagehood is a perfect time to get ahead of your game. I mean, you can start earning cash to satisfy your wants or to save up for college. Or better yet, you could get the experience needed to be an exceptional staff and adult later on in life. It is also out of place if you start your business with a couple of friends in your teenage years. So, stop thinking you're too young and start thinking of ways to solve a problem and earn legit cash for yourself. And yes, there are lots of opportunities available for you as a teenager. In this video, I will be sharing 13 fresh ways for you to start making money as a teenager. 1. Sell stuff at school It's the simple act of either selling off your old stuff like toys, shoes, clothes, etc. Or buying something for a specific price and selling it for more. As a high school teenager, you could buy and sell items like energy drinks, gum, school supplies like notes, pencils and pens, and even sports clothing. A better way to start is to try everything then afterwards re-invest on the product that sells more or just surveying to find out items that people would love to buy. 2. Take surveys Although several so-called survey sites have painted a bad image about survey taken, there are still legit sites where you can take surveys and get paid. Survey taken will not give you huge money. In fact, most sites will only provide you with gift card rewards. But it's an easy way for you to make out something as you fill out the survey while watching a movie, lying in bed or even chatting with friends. Some trusted survey taken sites include swag box, treasure trooper, etc. 3. Video editing If you know how to create videos, you probably could know how to edit them as well. Editing videos has been made easy by various software which is available on even smartphones. This is an excellent job with a lot of potentials and in high demand. To get started, you should build a portfolio. This you can do by editing a few videos for free or for a low price. You can then offer your service as a freelance video editor on Craiglist and other sites. You can work only when you want and your fee can either be hourly or a flat rate depending on you. 4. Cleaning basements and garages Many people hate this job because these are not places that are cleaned regularly. So cleaning them can be quite tedious. Someone around you will gladly accept your assistance and pay you generously for it. You can start by cleaning up your own first and then ask your parents to recommend you. Or you can go directly to the house of your neighbors and request. Or you can even print a flyer. 5. Tutoring If you are good at specific skills and subjects, you can teach others who are not good with them for a fee. That way, you will not only make cool cash, you will also hone your skills in the process. You may decide to teach classmates or schoolmates or you may teach kids in your neighborhood. Or you can move to the digital world and tutor other kids online. Good news is that you don't need a fancy certificate to start and you do not necessarily need to teach normal school subjects. You can sign up on a platform like Take Lessons to start. Mathematics, English, drawing, playing instruments, music and sports are some popular classes that people seek to learn. 6. Learn and Earn from a Skill The earlier you start learning a skill, the better for you. Once you are pretty good at the craft you are choosing, you can start making money from it. If it is a highly demanded skill, you can make a lot of money. With a profession such as writing, you will be able to earn as a freelance writer or an essayist. With coding, you can create games, build websites and digital marketing and this will enable you to handle the accounts of small organizations and get paid. Other skills to learn include graphics design, photography, bookkeeping, etc. 7. Pet Sits It's not just enough to own and care for your own pet. You can also channel that experience of yours into caring for other people's pet. People routinely pay adults to do this job for them but you can be able to start up with this by charging a little amount. As a pet sitter, you will go to people's houses and take care of their pets while they are away, either on weekends or vacations. You can start by advertising with word of mouth around your neighborhood and other surrounding neighborhoods. 8. Baby Sit Baby sitting is one of the most popular ways for teens to make money because it pays well and it's a pretty easy job, especially if you're an older kid. You can earn up to 10 or even $15 per hour via baby sitting. The best way to start baby sitting is to babysit for close friends and families and have them recommend you to other families. After recommendations, you can print posters or sign up on baby sitting websites like care.com. You can get connected with people in search of babysitters. 9. A part-time job in a restaurant Working as a boss boy or a dishwasher or a cashier in a restaurant is another excellent way to make cash as a teenager. Although being a worker in a restaurant is not very pleasant and fun, you are sure to get paid. Also, working under someone will teach you a lot and create an opportunity to meet new people and develop vital skills. 10. Snap and Sell Photos Online Do you have a flair for photography? Do you like to have beautiful collections of nature or sunrise photos on your phone? Then you could consider this option. You could pick any niche you fancy, relationship, family, etc. and continuously capture moments of them. Afterwards, head on to Shutterstock and other platforms and sell. 11. Car Wash Very few people enjoy washing their cars. Some others barely have time to do the washing, so they will gladly pay someone else to do it for them. They will find it even more interesting if as a teenager you can do great interior and exterior cleaning. You could start by washing the cars of your parents and family friends. Once you feel confident enough, start knocking on your neighbors doors to offer them your services. 12. Rent Out Books Those old books that are piled up somewhere in the basement can be used to make good money. Instead of throwing them in the trash, you could get them together on a table in the garage and rent them out for a fee or for a specific amount or even sell them to people. Well, a few chairs in the garage to allow people to read for a charge wouldn't be a bad idea as well. 13. Yard Maintenance This can be anything from shoveling snow, cotton lawns, to raking and trimming hedges. Many people in your neighborhood could use some help in cleaning their yard. You can render this service for amounts lower than that of a professional landscaper. Ask your parents if you can use the lawn mower and cleaning tools. Or you can even use the equipment of your client if they let you. The chances are high that they will. For you to earn more, you must carry out your task efficiently so that you can get recommended to work for others. Your teenage story does not need to end in games and fun with friends.
