Abstract: Believe it or not, I can remember my teen days clearly. It was not so easy since I have to take many part-time jobs to support my spendings. At that time, there were no other jobs to choose in addition to cutting grass, bussing tables. But nowadays, a great variety of jobs are available, most of which could easily translate into a nice side income for them.
For instance, I ever encountered a teenage girl who designed Myspace backgrounds earned more money than her parents. So you see, a teenager who is willing to work hard could make considerably more than working traditional "jobs".
1. Social Marketing workers
Now, there are many companies looking for qualified candidates who like Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter to help them with their social marketing efforts. Head over to a job site and search for such kind of job for yourself. You can also sell the backgrounds of twitter, Myspace, Facebook, etc. to get paid.
2. Sell stuff online
Selling is also a good working experience. And if you could sell out these unwanted and unneeded things of your mom and dad, they would be willing to share some of the profits with you, I believe.
3. Writing Articles
As what they say on the web, "content is king". Truly, people love reading contents. So if you offer to write articles for other companies or Squidoo, you can also get paid. Besides, writing product reviews is also good.
4. Bonuses for Opening Bank Account
It is not so sustainable as other ways, but it's a quick way to make money. There are many companies offering cash bonuses for opening accounts, ranging from $10 to $30. You can do some digging to make best deal.
5. Take online surveys
I am not particularly fond of the whole online survey thing since I had a bad experience of online survey before. But there are lots of online survey sites and people who do it successfully.
6. Join in medical studies
Many of my friends have done this as a job. They, as to be said, were human guinea pigs, but they made some decent cash for it. Sometimes this job requires to stay on facilities for a long time, so you need to arrange your schedule in advance. If you are interested, just google "medical studies" and the name of your city to find what you want. You will get it.
7. Tutor or give lessons
Be good at math, science, or kicking a field goal? Then why not take a part-time job as tutor for those a few years younger than you? Many parents are willing to pay a teenager to tutor their child in an subject needing to be improved. Just have a try.
