Here's how Tony makes money online in his spare time... So What Types of Teen Jobs Are Best?That really depends...What your interests and hobbies are... And how much money you want to make! Here's one of the best ways to quickly make money online...
My mom used to always tell me... "You have about 50 years to work at a job--you might as well LIKE what you're doing!" I agree. I also tell my kids to "Be the best at what you love to do, and the money will follow." What do your teens like to do? Hang out on the computer? Kids as young as 13 years old can get paid to fill out surveys and try new products. My daughter, Rachel, has been filling out surveys for CashCrate for just over a year and averages $280 dollars a month. She "works" a couple hours a day Monday through Friday around her class schedule. She says it's easy money...and definitely beats her old job working at McDonald's!
Plus, if she refers her friends...she can make even more money. She can't "advertise" on myspace or facebook...but she can tell all her friends or email them! On this site, for every friend she refers who signs up (for FREE of course!), she gets paid $1. And when they complete their first survey, she gets another $2 dollars. but that's not all... She makes $5 dollars on every $25 dollars her friends make - For life! Not that's what I call making money while you sleep! Just remember, you should NEVER have to pay to sign up - or else it's a scam and you're being ripped off. Here's another great paid survey site for 13 to 17 year olds... Does your teen have a knack for writing?Can she type fast?Online advertising has skyrocketed over the past few years. In 2008 alone, companies spent close to $50 billion advertising online. And that figure is expected to increase substantially in 2009. So what does this mean for you? Opportunity. You see, companies worldwide will hire you to do data entry and type up their short text ads and post them online. Just make sure the ads are short, catchy, and to the point! You can make as much as $500 to $1,500 per day typing up ads, posting them online, and collecting commissions. That's a lot of moolah!
Find out which companies are hiring RIGHT NOW in your city here... Some companies will hire younger teens, but most require that you be at least 18 years old. This makes it a perfect opportunity for high school seniors or college students!
Could This Be the Easiest Way to Instantly Make Money Online?One of the easiest ways for teens to make money fast is to advertise affiliate products on google adwords.Affiliate products are other people's (or companies) products that you sell for a commission. And you don't even need a website! In fact, you'll make more money...faster...not having your own website.
There are thousands of affiliate marketers making $100,000 or more every month. And they don't have fancy marketing or computer science degrees either. Plus, many of them are teen-agers! Chris Carpenter is world-famous on the internet for teaching people how to make money promoting products on Google Adwords. I was a little skeptical... because I've heard about people spending a lot of money advertising on Google and not making a dime because they didn't know what they were doing. But I wanted to try it out for myself. So I purchased Chris' Google Cash step-by-step program. I was pleasantly surprised to discover just how easy it is...and profitable. Especially since I started making money the very next day. Affiliate marketing is by far the fastest (and easiest) way to make money on the internet. And the best part is that you can get started for as little as $2 dollars a day!
Take a look at this "underground" way to make money online... Ready to Take on the Working World!When my oldest daughter Rachel turned 16 years old and got her driver's license...she was ready and raring to earn her first "real" paycheck with a teen job.
As soon as your teen earns her first "paycheck", at a teen jobs, she should open up a ROTH IRA...
Whew! Where does the time slip by? I still remember potty training!
Here are 10 easy ways teens can make some extra cash at home... Now For the Fun Part - BrainstormingSo I sat Rachel down and asked her..."Honey, what would you do for FREE even if you didn't get paid? And wasn't surprised at all when her answer was... "Horses and swimming." You see, Rachel is a huge horse lover and she rides and shows competitively American Saddlebred horses. She has won more blue ribbon championships than I did my entire showing career in 7 years! But I still tell everyone she takes after her mother! Rachel is also an incredible swimmer. She's on her high school swim team and even lettered her sophmore year. So now that I had Rachel thinking about what she loved to do -- together we did a little brainstorming about some possible teen jobs. Here's What We Came Up With:Horse-Related Teen Jobs:Working at a horse camp Riding Stable Stable Help (cleaning, feeding, grooming) Horse Sitting Saddle & Tack Shop And for swimming teen jobs: Lifeguarding Swim Instructor YMCA Pool Summer Swim Camp Sounds like some pretty fun teen jobs, right? But the BEST part is that any one of these teen jobs wouldn't seem like "work" to Rachel! Just FUN. A Little Digging For AnswersBut do any of these jobs pay well?That's what Rachel and I wanted to know. We did some calling around and found these hourly wages in our area (your area may pay more or less)... Working at a summer camp - $7.50 per hour Riding stable, stable help, saddle & tack shop - $7.00 per hour Horse sitting $10 per feeding per day Lifeguarding - $8.00 per hour Swim Instructor, YMCA $7.50 per hour Notice that all of these rates are better than minimum wage? Rachel decided to start her own horse sitting business... She made up some flyers and brochures offering her services to "horse sit" for people going on vacation. She has "horse sat" 4 times the past 2 months for an average of $20 an hour! AND... An Arabian horse stable hired her for hourly help this summer for $7 an hour. This way, until her horse sitting business is established, she'll be able to make a steady income at the stable. And the extra jobs of horse sitting will increase her average hourly rate easily to $10 or more. Not bad for a first teen job! Plus, she's doing what she LOVES to do. And I won't have to nag her to get up for work. You might want to check out hourly wages for different part-time jobs in your area. Some areas of course pay more than others. One of the easiest ways is to sign-up for free at an online job search website.
