Teen Jobs – 5 Unique Ways to Make

Money for Teens

Are McDonald’s and Burger King the only teen jobs around?

Not by a long shot. If you want

to average more than

$10 dollars an hour, choose

your own hours,

and have some fun besides...

then read on!

Here are 5 unique teen jobs to make

money:

1  

Article Writing

The internet

is definitely the business way of the future. One of the best (and cheapest)

ways for website owners to

drive more customers to their websites for free is to write and submit articles.

But business owners are

busy people and may not have the time or desire to write

articles. That’s where you come in! You can o

Can you guess the best part about writing

articles for cash? You can do it from anywhere.

No more ugly uniforms or stinky shifts.

Taking Online Surveys

You

won’t

make millions filling

out surveys but it is an easy way to make some quick cash. Companies

will pay you to fill out brief

surveys or try their products.

They want to pick your brain on what you like and what you don’t like!

One of the best and fastest growing

paid survey sites is Cash Crate. It doesn’t

Cleaning Up After People’s

Pets

You’ve probably heard about pet

sitting or walking dogs, right? Well, this is a new twist.

scooper makes it easy to do, and you

never run out of work!

This service

is especially handy

in colder climates. As the snow melts, there're

lots of business

opportunities!

Washing, Waxing, or Car Servicing

I don’t know how it happened... But my cat accidentally got

locked in the van overnight. I can’t tell you how horrible the smell is! I would pay big money for someone else to clean up

the mess.

This is a great way for high school teens or college students

to make money. You could even advertise with local businesses and shine up their cars in the parking lot while they work.

5   Sell Hand-Made Items on Etsy

This is my favourite way for teens to make money. And I

just recently heard about it!

So if you have a knack for making anything...from furniture to baked goods to dog collars – then you can sell them on web pages

for hand-made items.

They have over a million visitors

looking to buy. It’s free to join but it costs 30 cents to list items and a

3.5% sales tax on sold items.

Works for me! These are just a few ways to make money at

teen jobs.
