Washing LemonsWho says that your kids can’t make money? Do they have a hobby that they love? Do they like to bake? Run errands? Good, because they can earn some extra income simply by doing what they love and at the same time help contribute to their life skills.

1. Pet Sitting

Pet sitting is a great, fun clever way to earn money on the side. Are your kids good with pets? Got a neighbor who has pets? Consider pet sitting as their part time job, or simply call it a hobby and let them earn on money on the side. Don’t leave your kid’s pet loving skills to waste!

2. Baking

Although baking is an overly suggested method, it is because it works! Baking a fresh batch of cookies is a great way to build in revenue as well as help give your kid an image of how a motor and bricks business sort of works. It is a good practice overall and the income in the end of the day, can be juicy.

3. Arts & Crafts

If your child is creative, why not sell those pottery and antiques that your kid made to make money? If it is of course, okay with the child, it is great method to earn extra money for organized fundraisers from reputable districts.

4. Help the Elderly

There are plenty of people looking for someone to simply babysit their grand parents, and kids can do that job and as well as enlighten them with their bright faces. Got a responsible little child? They could be fit for this job and the income from it can be satisfactory.

5. Sell Candy & Treats

This is probably the most regularly used method among little kids. They simply buy a huge pack of candy and sell each individual one for a buck each. This really help to emphasize the business of dealing and receiving profit in return. In the end of the day, your child earns a satisfying income as well as have an idea of how a business may run.

6. Paid Surveys

Kids can also be great survey takers on the Internet as well. Who said a kid couldn’t make money off the Internet? To enroll your child to take paid survey from panels that we recommend, view them here.

The two we strongly recommend joining is the Opinion Outpost panel and the Synovate panel.

*Parents must sign up under their name. When a survey is directed to a child, they will say so.

7. Selling Toys in the School Yard

This can range from many categories. From Yu-gi-oh cards to Pokemon cards to even Hot Wheels. They all can be traded off or sold for some profit to their friends. I remember these were the popular necessities as a child and other children were willing to pay or even trade for certain cards/items. It was small market, but it had potential to earn.

8. Start a Lemonade Stand

As well as selling treats, this help to give your child more of the idea of profiting from business and more. The profits can be juicy as were the lemonade your child was serving.

9. Become an Assistant

You’d be shocked at how many people are looking for a helping hand from a little fellow. This can be just a “go to” guy that simply gets papers and just copies out papers from the printer to just taking out the trash. That sort of thing. It is pretty reliable and inspirational as well to see your child working at such a young age. Kids have many capabilities these days to earn money that back in the day, we didn’t have as a child.
