How kids can make money
How kids can make money tip 1 - Be a chef. At about eleven years old, I used to sell meals to my brothers (I had four of them). I got 25 cents for knotted eggs or a sandwich, and more for more complex meals. My brothers chosen to stay in front of the TV and let me cook for them. Since the food was already provided by my parents, the profits was pure profit.
How kids can make money tip 2 - Computer whiz-kid service. Many young kids know a lot about computers. My nephew was getting paid for programming by the the time he was fourteen, but even younger kids can show old folks how to use a computer and the internet for a fee. Learn a few more skills, and they can even set up computers for new owners who are using them for the first time. Letting grandparents spread the word would be a good marketing ploy.
How kids can make money tip 3 - Family carnival. I charged my brothers 5 cents for a wadded up piece of paper selected from a bucket full of them. Most had a penny or two inside them, but a few had a quarter. It was just one of my "carnival" events. I also had them throwing pennies at a bowl across the room that I kept, of course. If a penny stayed in the bowl they won a dime. I am almost uncomfortable to say how much of their well-deserved paper route money I took from them.
How kids can make money tip 4 - Collect returnable. We collected and returned cans and bottles for a deposit as kids. Now that more states have return laws, it\'s an even better way to make a little cash. During the Cherry Festival, when I lived in Traverse City, Michigan, adults came to town just to collect the cans that people threw all over. With a 10 cent deposit, they were collecting more than dollar 100 worth per day according to quite a few of them. If the kids wear gloves, leave broken cans and bottles alone, and use hand sanitizer, this is a safe way to make money.
