Seven Ways for Teenagers to Earn Some Extra Cash

By: William Blake

Since the government has established laws that restrict how much teenagers can work, it may be difficult for them earn more than their parents' allowance provides. Consider the following seven ideas for how teens can make additional money regardless of whether or not they are able to work secularly.

1. Babysitting. This is the basic teenage job. Once they are old enough and can demonstrate responsibility for their younger siblings, let your teen try their skills on other kids. Neighborhood families are always looking for babysitters. If they are not comfortable with babies, start the babysitting service at age two and up.

2. Mowing lawns Since most neighbors would prefer to give their money to a hardworking kid than a professional lawn care service, teenagers can make mowing lawns into a moderately lucrative business during the spring and summer. The teen will need a planner to make sure they keep up with all the appointments they have made and avoid double booking times or days in addition to a good lawnmower and work ethic.

3. Assisting senior citizens Teenagers can help care for the needs of elderly neighbors who need assistance around the house with small jobs such as yard work. Older teenagers could also offer to drive senior citizens to the grocery store and various appointments. Parents can help their kids make handouts describing services they will offer and the price they plan to charge.

4. Caring for pets Many dog owners have busy schedules and find it difficult to spend the time necessary to train and exercise a dog, especially puppies, properly. A teenager who already has experience caring for their own pet at home could start a pet care service that is as simple as just walking dogs or they could choose to offer additional services like grooming.

5. Apply for a retail job Department stores often hire teenagers to do seasonal work, especially during the summer and winter. If teens do this, they will be able to enjoy the benefits that come along with this type of job, like discounted purchases in the store where they work.

6. Organizing the garage Getting a disastrous garage organized can be a daunting task, but it can also be a great way for a teenager to earn some money. Parents can negotiate a price based on exactly what they want their son or daughter to do before the work is done.

7. Make an online business Many kids are quite skilled at using the Internet, and especially talented kids can use an online marketplace like eBay to make money selling goods and services. Teens who like to write can put this skill to use financially by being paid for submitting articles to websites like Associated Content.

The seven ideas in this article are just a few of the many ways extra cash can be earned by teenagers. They may have their own ideas that they are interested in pursuing as well.
