hey guys welcome to my channel where i talk about legitimate ways where
you can make money in today's video it's going to be all about how to make money as a teenager
and just so you know i'm going to spare you all the ideas about working at fast food restaurants
and things like that because those are things you already know you can do and they don't pay very
well all these ideas that i'm going to share with you today can earn you up to a thousand dollars
a month or more these are all just lesser known ways where you can make money so be sure to give
this video a thumbs up if you learned something that you never even knew you could do before
all right let's get right into it now the first idea is becoming a social media assistant
now i'm a blogger and i've employed some teens just to help me out with my social media strategy
and my social media accounts to help me grow in that area and even though i'm 33 years old
i'm just not up on the current trends i'm not on tock and just i need some help staying in the know
with you know all these different social media platforms so i haven't helped me grow my instagram
account specifically so i pay them about 200 a week depending on what i have them working on
and most of the time what they're working on is that they're just sending me content ideas and
current trends so if you spend a lot of time on tick tock and instagram why not make money from
it now i also have them helping me gain followers as well i'm gonna show you guys a quick example of
how i'm doing it on instagram that is really being an impactful way to get me followers
so the most effective way that i've been able to gain followers on instagram has been by following
influencers when the same type of niche that i'm in with a much larger following what i do is that
i simply just go to one of their most recent posts and everyone that has liked that most
recent post i go to their pages and i may like a couple of their pictures comment on them just gas
them up a little bit make them you know say oh did you look beautiful or this is such a great idea
things like that now these are people who are not trying to be influencers they're just have their
personal concept like other big influences accounts so when they see these messages
from me they're saying who is this girl you know commenting and being so nice to me on my account
so they'll come to my account and look through my pictures and say oh i like this girl stuff
too so they're gonna follow me and it has become a very effective strategy which has given me so
many followers in such a small amount of time now if you wanted to get started doing this i would
first look at who you know if you know anyone in your family or friends that are trying to
grow their social media platforms you can tell them that you can help them by doing the same
things i just mentioned about that's helped me grow my account now you can start at a low
price by saying like 10 to 15 an hour that you're charged them and then just once that you can show
your value and how you're really impacting their account you can go ahead and increase your cost
now if you don't know anyone in this space you can try just growing your own account prove what you
know and how you're able to gain so many followers in a certain amount of time and that will give
people the confidence to say hey this person's done it for their account i'm gonna pay them so
they can do the same thing to my account so this is just one strategy and one way that you can make
money from home while in school during the summer time or whatever and make a nice amount of money
the next idea is picking up dog poop yes dog poop erica crouppen earns a thousand dollars a week
picking up dog poop now keep in mind she has 80 recurring weekly customers and she only charges 15
per week per customer now she started her business out of just because she doesn't like picking up
dog poop and she figured others wouldn't either so they would rather just pay someone else to do it
and she was right now she used facebook to spread the word about her business but you can always
with a parent of course you've got to go with your parents you can just go to your neighbors
houses and pitch your business idea to them you can create flyers with your services how much you
charge your contact information and use that as a way to get clients now erica did a very detailed
interview on how she got started and then how you can too even mentioning just some really cool tips
and different ways that she was able to acquire customers so i'm going to put that interview in
the description below if you guys are interested in this you can check it out and go ahead and get
started next idea is flipping so my friends rob and melissa they do this with their kids and they
have been able to make over six figures a year doing this now flipping is when you just find good
deals at yard sales thrift stores and flea markets and then you flip them you flip them for a higher
price online and that's how you make your money off the profits this is something you'll want
to do with your parents because it does involve you know just driving to the different stores
and you're going to have to also set up an ebay account now i know this idea is not for everyone
but if you're interested rob and melissa they created a course just to show you step by step
on how to get started you know best practices how to ship their products how to price them and just
how to make the most money overall so i'm going to put that course in the description below if
it's something you guys want to consider because it could be a very cool and lucrative opportunity
for you and your mom and dad just it's a great way to make money the next idea is starting a youtube
channel now i typically hate when people give this advice because it took me over a year to start
making money with my youtube channel and i know you guys want to make money a lot faster than that
but now i'm making a little over 2 000 a month and it is on autopilot because i found out how
to get my videos to rank in the search results now what i do is just find topics that people are
interested in and then i do a video on them to answer their questions or whatever it is
like this one my hope is that when you type in how to make money as a teenager this video will show
up high in the search results giving me consistent views to this video making me consistent money and
ad revenue that i can make money on by helping you guys figure out ways that you can make money and
it can help me out by making money through ads so you see how this works with youtube
that's a great way that you can monetize the youtube channel by just creating value
just showing people you know different things that you can do or how they can do it and you
help them and they can help you by just watching it and you get paid through ad revenue i also did
a video on how i was able to get my channel monetized that i think will really help you
and really figuring out how to get your videos to show up in the search results and what to look for
and just the overall strategy on how to get your channel monetized next is babysitting now i know
you know you can already do this but i did want to share another perspective on how i'm doing it
so what i do is that i have my 15 year old cousin just come over and help me throughout the day
while i'm at home with my kids just to play with them while i can get some work done
so if you know anyone who works from home which a lot of people do nowadays with their kids
you can just tell them that you are looking for some experience and would like to help them out
you know like play with their kids while they're getting some things done and they'll pay you for
that a nice amount of money now some other quick things to consider to make money is you can become
a caddy now if you don't know what a caddy is caddies they carry players bag and clubs golf
clubs so i know this is not a dream job but you can make some really good money doing this
and just get connected to some powerful people you could also consider becoming an apprentice
in the construction field because this is definitely something you can do that pays well
and you get to learn some valuable life skills that can carry over into adulthood
and i know you guys know this but mowing lawns for elderly people or just anyone is another great way
to make money just the best jobs for teens are things that will teach you skills that can be
used later on in adulthood like if you were a social media assistant like i mentioned earlier
you can learn so much by the time you're in adulthood you probably could own your own agency
just from all the experience and knowledge that you have gained so really think about things that
you just want to do when you get older if you have any idea i just think how you can actually achieve
them at a young age by just doing simple things so you can eventually work yourself up now i've
heard that this new generation is lazy but i think you guys are just smart if you don't want to do
the hard work you shouldn't have to you know you just think smarter and do other creative ways to
get things done i just can't wait to see how your generation exhales now that's it for today i hope
you guys enjoyed this video and if you learned anything i'd love it if you give this video
a thumbs up and make sure you subscribe if you want to learn more ways that you can make money
that you may have never even considered before all right thanks for watching have a great day
