Students earn under 18.

  It can be fun being young, but ask most teenagerswhat the biggest drag is in their life and they’ll tell you it’s the fact they don’thave enough cash. Money doesn’t just buy you nice things,it also gives you some independence. You can travel, go to concerts, take peopleout on dates. Being broke is no joke, and it can reallyget a person down. That’s the reason today we are going totell you some ways you can earn some cash at a young age even if you’re still studying. We’ll start with the lower paying jobs andend with the jobs that pay the really big money. 10. Online StuffOk, so online stuff sounds a bit vague, but we mean doing things online that take no skillat all. You basically just answer questions, fillin surveys, or review stuff. We found a blog online written by a youngguy that used something called the iPoll app. It seems he was British, but you can do similarstuff in other countries. Using this app he was asked to go shoppingand buy a particular product, answer questions about a product, or sometimes just answerquestions in a survey. If he bought stuff he would have to uploadthe receipt and sometimes he might write something about the product. 

        We should say that the rewards weren’t massiveand he had earned only about $130 in a few months, but hey, if you’re still in yourearly teens that’s not bad at all. You might need the consent of your parents,though, if you are very young. We found other apps where people could earncash doing surveys and some websites that paid for very short reviews of products. One called “Slice the Pie” paid youngfolks to write reviews of just 30 to 60 words, which is easy. You might also get paid for referring otherpeople to do the same as you. One person who wrote about his time usingSlice the Pie said he got paid, but it was only pocket money. He said this, “The exact amount of pay youcan receive varies depending on a few different factors, including your star rank and experience. If your reviews are consistently good quality,your star rank will go up and so will your pay.” Their website as we write this is down, butit doesn’t look like the business is no longer running. To see a long list of similar jobs just Googlesomething like, “getting paid for online reviews and surveys” and you will find whatyou are looking for. 9. FiverrWe are going to give Fiverr its own spot on the list because there are just so many waysto earn cash using this online marketplace. 

        There are people earning good money here becausesome of the gigs are for skilled people, whether they are tech workers or musicians. But, there are also lots of gigs that onlyrequire a person to basically write or communicate well in English. If you get a gig, after you are paid you’llhave to give some money back to Fiverr, but it’s free to sign up. Ok, so you are not good enough to start copywritingor designing websites, but there are other jobs such as doing voice overs that don’tdemand that much technical experience. We should say there’s actually a websitecalled voices.com where you can make cash doing voice overs. If you have a clear voice, then just signup to that. And hey, you might even end up doing voiceoverfor your favorite youtube informative show! Don’t be dismayed if you don’t have manyskills because you are still young, just have a look around and see if there is somethingyou can offer. If you put some time and effort into thiswe think you could make some money. 8. TutoringYou might not consider yourself good enough to be a teacher, but you might be pretty goodat a subject and are just aged 16 or 17. There are plenty of online tutoring websitesthat we found and on many of them if you are over 15 you can start helping people out. Just go online and search for jobs which allowteenagers to tutor. 

        They exist, because we’ve just been lookingaround the web and we’ve seen them. Job sites tell us that the average wage fora teenager doing online tutoring is anywhere from $10 to $15 an hour, which isn’t badat all since you are doing something you enjoy and don’t have to leave the house. 7. Taking Care of PetsWe looked online for dog walker jobs and most paid somewhere from 15 to 20 bucks an hour. The problem with the hiring companies, though,was that some said you had to be at least 18 years of age. But you know what, you can walk a dog at 16. You just need to be trusted, and when youhave reviews people will trust you. Instead of working for someone else you couldstart your own gig. Hand out flyers you made online in the neighborhoodor just start your own Facebook page. A lot of people these days are so busy they’llbe glad to have someone walk their pet. We should mention that with all jobs there’sthe issue of tax, but there is a threshold amount you must earn before any tax is paid. Bankrate tells us that is $12,000 a year inthe USA. 6. ChoresWe found websites online telling youngsters how to start their own car washing business,and again, because teens are so tech savvy these days they can market their businesseasily online. It’s not like the old days when teens hadto go house to house or rely on family friends. We found some kids earning a lot of cash washingcars, and we are talking hundreds of dollars a week. The same goes for yard cleaning, or snow shovelingin winter. When you know those leaves are going to fallor that snow is going to dump down, your Facebook page is out there telling people you can helpthem out. 

        You are young and don’t charge too much. There are also a lot of older people thatcannot do this physically demanding work, so you are a service for the community. In the past they might have not been ableto contact you, but with your Facebook page they can contact you and you can be aroundto their house in minutes. Just check out the local laws where you areworking. We found one news article in the USA whichtold the story of cops stopping teens in one town from shoveling snow because such a jobwas described as being an “unlicensed solicitor and peddler.” It’s really up to the cops and the lawsin the state, but we found at times youngsters have been stopped selling cookies or lemonadein the street. They won’t get charged with anything, though. 5. Rent StuffYou might not know this, but there are websites out there where people just rent out stuffand they do well out of it. There’s one in the UK called rentnotbuy.co.ukand people rent out just about anything. Does your family have a leaf blower, a lawnmower,some power tools? Are your parents ok with you renting theirstuff out, or do you own the things yourself? If so, start renting. We found just about everything you can imaginebeing rented out. One guy was renting out his BBQ grill foralmost 40 bucks a day. Another person was renting out a cake tinfor three dollars a day. When you are renting stuff to others you arealso lowering consumption, so sharing is caring for the environment. Maybe you have sporting equipment, a bicycle,a trampoline that just sits in the yard doing nothing. Rent that stuff out. Just go online and find out where you cando this. Again, make sure your parents know about this. 4. Helping the Elderly OnlineSome of you teenagers are way more computer literate than a lot of older folks. 

        You’d be surprised how many people don’tknow what an ISP is or don’t really understand how a modem works. Often when someone’s internet is not workingfor them, there is a really easy fix, or perhaps someone wants to export some data from oneplace to another but they don’t know how to do it. Maybe they have a load of old family photographs,but don’t know how to digitize them using a scanner, etc. That’s where you come in. You offer yourself as a kind of IT supportworker, so you might visit the house of people you know or just tell them what to do online. We should say here that when we are talkingabout visiting people, make sure you have your parents’ consent or perhaps just workwith people you know. 3. PodcastingOk, so you might not have as much as life experience as Joe Rogan or Sam Harris, butyou know what, young folks sometimes just want to have a laugh and they want to knowwhat their peers think. You can start young and it really doesn’ttake much effort to record or video a conversation. You can look at tutorials online to see howyou might get started. Maybe you could talk about events at yourschool, or do a podcast on local sports, fashion, whatever you think is interesting. You can be the voice of the youth in yourarea and many people might find this an education. You could talk about gaming, or even interviewadults. 

        Young people are already doing this and whenenough people start watching your content you can make money from running ads on theplatform. We found some people doing podcasts for teensmade by teens and they were getting quite a lot of hits. This could turn into a career for you. There’s no immediate pay-off, but you couldget big in time. 2. Online SalesYou can just start selling stuff on Facebook or on websites such as Etsy or eBay and it’sas simple as that. We found a recent headline in The Guardiannewspaper that went, “Meet the teens making thousands from selling online.” They were using lots of platforms to selltheir stuff, but sometimes Facebook was the way to find customers. Sometimes they just found clothing and soldit on for more than they paid for it. One teen was even selling Rubik’s cubes,while another guy was selling Dungeons and Dragons dice. Another girl was making big money from buyingsecond-hand women’s luxury bags and then re-selling them on Facebook. Over the years she became the go-to personto sell a bag to and the go-to person to buy one if you couldn’t afford a brand new one. If you have a good eye for products and cangenerate a big enough following, you can make a lot of money doing this in your teens. The proof is numerous newspaper articles thatfeature these teens. We are talking about making thousands of dollarsa month. 1. GamingThe holy grail of making tons of money online from doing something you love is gaming. You might have seen how an American teen justwon $3 million from winning a Fortnite competition. Three others also became millionaires.

         Not everyone can be the best or even be apro-gamer who streams their gameplay, but you can make a steady income playing games. You could become a game tester and make somemoney, or even become a gaming coach by joining up to a site such as gamersensei.com. For that site you have to be 13 or over. If you know you are very good at a certaingame you can try being a coach. Check out the website PlayVig, whose mottois “get paid to play” and while you might not get rich like the pros, it’s a start. Look online for the games which can earn youreal money. We found some young Roblox developers makingtons of cash, and with enough practice you could do this, too. Some creators and sellers in that game werepuling in $250 a month, but others were getting rich. Dedicate yourself to gaming and this couldbecome a job. You might even help your parents retire early. Making money is serious business, so now we’dlike you to watch some of our most exciting shows we’ve ever made. Try this one, “Surprisingly High PayingJobs” or this one, “What A Day In The Life of A Neanderthal Was Like”. Go ahead, pick one! You won’t regret it!
