Ways For Kids To Earn Money
86Finding ways for kids to make money when they are too young to have a regular job can seem like a real challenge. But with a little thought and a dash of imagination, young entrepreneurs all over the world are coming up with creative ways to make money.
Years ago, before compulsory education and child labor laws, it was so normal for kids to be working alongside adults that the very thought of having to hunt for ways for kids to make money would have been laughable! Often, the money brought in by kids was all that stood between a family and starvation.
We live in better times now. There is usually plenty to eat, and we expect our kids to focus on their education.
Now, don't get me wrong, I am all for education!

The Problem With Compulsory Education
However, the current education system in the Western world is so geared to producing good employees that there are real risks in leaving your child's financial education to the so-called "experts". Remember that all the teachers, all the inspectors, all the administrators, all the people who write the curriculum guidelines, and all the politicians who make the laws about education are, themselves, employees. Usually lifelong employees.
It's up to parents to instill that good old-fashioned value of self-reliance, and encourage kids to get out and make money without becoming a wage slave.
Business Ideas For Kids
The range of things which kids have done to make money is incredible. The only limit is your imagination.

Starting Early As Entrepreneurs
When my three girls were aged between nine and twelve, they started a rat-breeding business. They borrowed the start-up capital from us, paid interest out of their pocket money, and bought their breeding stock of rats.
After a few months, there were baby rats rolling off the production line, about one litter every 6-12 weeks. In less than 12 months, they had repaid the initial loan, and the business was turning a profit.
After another 12 months they were tired of cleaning cages every weekend, so they decided to let their remaining rats retire from active breeding duty without being replaced. Eight or nine months later, the last rat died of old age, and the young directors met one last time to liquidate the business.
I think it's a cute story, and I tell it regularly (probably more often than I should, but, hey, they're only cute for such a short time).
When I told this story, I found that people got very interested. They wanted to know how we taught our kids to run a business. How we got our kids to want to run a business. How we got our kids interested in earning money at all, for that matter, at such a young age.
I think that these are the wrong questions to be asking, actually. We should be asking questions like - why aren't all kids doing this? What stops the vast majority of kids from turning their creative minds to the question of how to earn the money they need to buy the things that they want? Why is it so strange, in this day and age, to see a 12-year-old negotiating to be paid for their services?
There was a time, not so long ago, when 95% or more of the population were self-employed, either on farms, in retail, or in cottage industries. Kids grew up surrounded by commerce, watching the exchange of valuable services for money, seeing the process of trading for profit, ingesting the principles of customer service with their mother's milk.
These days, the majority of people depend on someone else's entrepreneurial spirit to generate revenue into a business to pay them a wage, either directly, by working for a company in the private sector, or indirectly, by working for a government funded by taxing the private sector and its employees.
With this shift from business ownership, however small-scale, wide-scale employment, has come a corresponding shift from self-reliance to dependence. We have almost lost the ability to take care of ourselves financially.
Most people are expecting an employer or the government to take care of them when they can no longer work. Or, worse, they aren't even thinking about how they might survive financially beyond this year, this month, or even this week.

Basic entrepreneurship should be part of every child's education. But we can't expect the employees who teach in schools to step up to the plate and pass on skills they don't have. Just like the other crucial life skills like brushing their teeth, eating right, and maintaining relationships, teaching the skills of money and business is very much the parent's responsibility.
It's not too late. Programs like Cash-Smart Kids give parents the tools they need to make their kids financially self-reliant.
Just about every entrepreneur who achieves financial independence immediately starts teaching others how to do likewise. Make sure your child is one of those teachers. Give them the basic skills they need, even if that means going out and learning them late in life yourself!

Thanks C-Lee!
What's the dilemma you see here?
Jenny
hi i love the rat breeding buisness i would like to do somthing like that but my mother hates rodents! i really need some advice!
It doesn't have to be rodents - there are lots of kinds of pets.
that Angela girl.. shes been asking on almost all of the kids with money topics.. anyways your reviews are always helpful thank you so much for this article i used some of the ideas and i founf the perfect one! thanks again!
my sister is trying to save up money for a field trip to washington DC with her grade we dont have much money and its 500 dallors to go, i love my sister and she needs all the help she can get... those are great ideas but i just cant do many of them beacuse im too young and we have some family problems..i wouldnt be able to manage them beause im at my dads house part of a week and at my moms another i really need a way to do a easy money making solution please help me
Ilena, if you have access to a computer at either home or at school, you can try some of the simple ways to make money on the internet. Check out the Hubs on "young entrepreneurs" - just type it into the search box at the top of this page - and you will find several kids making money in various different ways.
Otherwise, I would suggest talking to a helpful adult outside your family and asking them to help your sister to earn this money. I'm sure there are people around both homes who need cars washed, dogs walked, and so on. All your sister needs is some guidance and encouragement.
Good for you in being so caring and trying to find help! Your sister is lucky to have you.
Very interesting hub. When you really think about it, there is an unimaginable amount of work that kids could do for money. I also liked your personal stories, they added an extra touch to the article.
Thanks, Sibaire!
thanks! this really helps for my peoject alot!
You're wlecome, lanie. I hope you get a good mark!
Even kids need some form of structure at some point. Learning life's lesson is never too early according to what kids can handle.
Kids are amazing, what they can learn and do. I was just watching the move "Master and Commander", and some of the young officers on that ship weren't more than 12 or 14 years old, handling serious leadership responsibilities over men twice their age. I believe that's quite historically accurate - we treat our kids like babies until they are 16 or 18 years of age, but we don't need to.
Your hub has given me a slightly different outlook on what my 10 year old son can do - what he's capable of. You're right when you say we don't need to treat our kids like babies! Thank you
Oh, I am so glad to hear that, travelgirl!
i need money for camp that i have to have but i was thinking about selling lemonade but that doesn't go far. Also im not sure if i want to ask people cause im shy and i don't know what to do. Do u hav a suggestion Insirepub!
Do you have any clothes, toys, or other household items you could sell on eBay or at a yard sale? What about offering your services - you could clean, bake, babysit ... or even help people with their computers. If you know neough to find HubPages and make comments, you could help an older person learn how to do it, too. PR: wait... I: wait... L: wait... LD: wait... I: wait...wait...
well i might! thanks and ummm what was the waits for?
I'm not sure, AutumnRose - the computer snuck them in there when I wasn't looking! Looks like I am stuck with them unless I want to delete my whole comment. Sigh.
Anyway, good luck with making that money for camp!
hi! I need help! My school is having an entrepreneurs day and i don't know what to sell. We are not allowed to sell food or games and it has to attract grades 4-6. Your ideas are great but they are either something i cannot do or other people are using that idea. Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (It needs to attract girls and/or boys)
Let's see ..
Hats, headbands, printed T-shirts, fake tattoos, animal ears/noses, beads, buttons, craft supplies, comic books, stationery (pens, erasers, staplers, glue), potplants, pet rocks, helium balloons, personalised cards (you would need to take orders on the day, do the cards on your computer at home, and mail or deliver them).
You can also sell coupons for services - hand massages, carrying their school bag, doing their chores for them for a day, lending them your guitar/bike/Ipod for a day, etc.
And there's always face painting ...
You could also create a "lucky dip", with one or two very good items and a lot of other ones of lesser value, all wrapped up like gifts, then people pay their money and choose one, and hope they are lucky enough to get a good one.
You just need to exercise your imagination ... the ideas are endless!
Thanks
i need 200 euros and where i live every1 does theyr own work so i cant get any ma m8 suggested cleanin in a restaurant but i dont kno how 2 get public culd u help
If you want to start a cleaning business, make up a flier on your computer, and walk around to the places you would like to clean, talking to the owners, and leaving the flier with them.
Commercial cleaning is difficult as a first business, because there are very high standards required, especially in restaurants.
If I were you, I would do a survey of 20-30 households around where you live. Ask them what chores they hate to do or don't have time to do, and if they would be willing to pay someone to do them, and how much they would be willing to pay. You should find someone who wants something done, and if you are willing to do it for their price, you have yourself a business.
You may find you are baking cookies, or folding laundry, or sorting Lego blocks by color, or finding size 18 D shoes online, or something else you never would have thought of on your own.
And then, when you have found something, there are 20-30 households who already know you, and they are the first ones you approach.
When in doubt - ASK THE MARKET WHAT IT WANTS. It's magic.
Another great article...
Thanks, Barry!
the one way i worked was selling freezzies for less then the shops sold them
Great idea! Kids can often do things cheaper than stores, because kids have lower overhead costs - not rent to pay, no wages to pay ...
Hi Inspirepub,
I found this book called "Better than a lemonade stand" and it's a moneymaking book for kids. I got it for my daughter and she LOVED it! She had so many ideas on how she could make money from that book, and she also picked-up a few ideas! It's a great book! You write SUCH great articles!
Thanks, Catherine!
My daughters have all found things which are better than a lemonade stand. I'm glad to hear your daughter is heading the same way!
well sorry for starting up this way..actually i dont know ur name..Amm ma'm could you please help me earn money by some way through net cz doing business like rodents and pets is kinda difficult fr me..i hope u understand..thanks

Hi, I am 13 years old, and I live in a rural community. I don't really have many neighbors, so baby, house, and pet sitting are out of the question. No one wants their lawn mowed either. My parents, I have to say it, are CHEAP! If I wash our SUV, I get $2. It's not worth doing. I can't sell anything because I live on the highway. What can I do?
Elizabeth,You obviously have a computer and an internet connection - would you parents help you to open an account with Adsense so you can start writing a blog and making money from advertising on it?
In the beginning, it will likely be less per hour than washing the SUV, but the good thing about it is that once you have it set up, it keeps making money for you day and night, and over time, if you promote your blog, the earnings steadily increase.
What's more, you will be developing a skill in something - internet marketing - that business owners all over the world will gladly pay you to do for them in the future.
The internet is a marvellous invention - make use of it!
Simple and easy source of inspiration for kids has been to loan them the money to buy and help them select seed packs, and other seed starting supplies. Having them keep detailed records, and then taking them to a local flea market when the tomatoes, strawberries, etc. are ready for consumers to plant in their own gardens. Old fashioned, but the glow in their self-esteem when they realize what their profits are -- make the whole exercise worth while. It gives them exposure to a lot of secondary lessons from marketing, to how plants germinate, to record keeping, to repaying loans for the seed money, etc.
That's a great idea, Jerrilee - thanks for sharing it!
HEY, INSPIREPUB
I WANT MONEY SO I CAN GET STUFF BCUZ MY PARENTZ HAVE TO PAY DA BILLS AND EVERYTHING ELSE AND THEY CAN'T AFFORD ANYTHING ELSE SO I WANT TO EARN MONEY BUT I DONT KNOW HOW TO I LIVE IN A QUITE STREET AND I TOTTALY HATE STANDS. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! :)
I suggest you do some market research. Go around the neighbours, and ask them what household chores they don't like, or don't have time to do, and how much they would pay someone else to do them.
By the time you have asked about 20 families, you will have a long list of ideas. Pick one you're willing to do, go back to the person who mentioned it, and offer to do it!
ok,
im trying to earn $3000 for a trip to paris with my french class and my parents said that i have to earn the money myself!! but im only 12!!!! how am i suposed to make $3000 by this summer? help me please i really want to go!!!!
thanks,
Alyssa
Alyssa, if you read back over the previous questions and answers, you will find a lot of suggestions!
im 9 years old and I need some really easy ways to earn money and quick. Im trying to raise lots of money. help!
Saige - check out what I said to Tom above about doing a survey around the neighbourhood to find out what people want.
It's the best way to decide what to do in your business!
I'm amazed you inspired a lot of youngster here. I believe kids will learn more from this experiences at an early age but most important is they'll also enjoy of what they work for and they are not being abused by their parents to work hard. Graeat hub! Thumbs up. :)
Drop by at my hubs when you get some time:)
Yes, Beth, contrary to what some people say, kids these days are very keen to work ...
hey im 12 and my parents wont give me an allowance. im starting a band and all i have in the band fund is like, $1-$2 in change so plz help me. my neighborhood peeps hate me or think im weird and all i can do in my house is work for 1 long hour for $10. do you no of any good sites where u get [aid 2 do surveys?
Jess,
$10 an hour is a pretty good rate for someone under 18 - you won't find paid survey work that pays that much! How much do you need for the band fund?
the thing is i can only work for and hour. I need probably $100 for my band.
Me again. Also i could use some of my own spending money 4 video games. also do pubs inspire you?
hi my name is heidi and i have a problem i was invited to go to europe next summer and i really want to go but it costs 7,000 dollars and i have to have 400 dollars by febuary i have come up with a couple of ideas but they will take a while to kick in PLEASE HELP give me ideas of how to make money quick and very easy
Jess, inspirepub is short for Inspire Publishing. Do you mean you can only work for one hour, ever? I'm sure whatever it is will need doing again in a week or so, won't it?
Heidi, the best thing you can do is to survey the neighbourhood, and your family and friends, to find out who is willing to pay to have stuff done for them, and what they are willing to pay for - then you offer do that, whatever it is.
buy stock from great companiesthat are cheap now
Jenny hi i am a new comer i want to get a hamster for Christmas and it is only $15-16. But i need to get more $ for supplies and i already have a cage and right now i have around $30-35. + tax PLEASE help for some ideas to get $!!
i dont believe it
is it true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Olivia,
Have you read the ideas I have suggested to other kids who asked the same question in the comments above? There are lots of ways to make a bit of extra money!
I really wanted something for christmas but i did not get it. I need about $20 to get it do you have any ideas Inspirepub?
I love the rat breeding idea!
So you just have to buy two rats and sell the babies?
The only thing is...not a lot of people want mice as pets!
your idea's are great but, i need a way to make money from home possibly on the computer. All my neighbors have people who do all those things.
If you have computer skills, you can do computer jobs for other people. Follow exactly the same process - brainstorm a list of things you can do for people (setting up a MySpace profile, scanning their old photos into their computer, photoshopping their pictures to make them look nicer, making digital photo albums, turning digital photos into videos with music, making blog posts, writing articles, posting their articles on web sites like this one, and so on).
Do the survey - see what people want done. See what they are willing to pay.
Let the customer tell YOU what to sell them ...
Well about the rat thing, i dont wanna go out and buy a rat just to make it breed. i think it is cruel just to have a animal reproduce it's whole life....... but on a different topic i need money to buy some new lacrosse gear but my neighbor hood isnt really kid friendly so i need ideas i thought of all the things i can but i think you know alot about this stuff please help!
sorry me again but i also cant do computer stuff like take the surveys and get paid and the myspace stuff so that is another no i was thinking about going to a golf course and getting the golfballs out of bounds and sell em back to the golfers for about $0.50 a ball but i don't know if that is legal and if it is how i could do it
Quentin, there are abandoned golf balls on every golf course, and kids have been collecting them since golf was invented. Ask your local golf club how they would feel about it - if you find a sympathetic pro or manager, they may even let you sell the balls at the golf club.
If that doesn't work, you can try making and selling things - printed T-shirts, jam, ear-rings, anything people might buy. Go to your local market and look around for ideas!
Another thing that works well is selling chocolate bars to office workers - buy them at the supermarket and then sell them for vending machine prices.
this web sukes i got scamed
I have deleted the spam comment now, Alice. Sorry you got scammed. I hope you find something better - there are plenty of ways for kids to make money that aren't scams.
in the summer i sell water bottles for 1.00 with and people can also buy a little lemonade packet for an extra 25cents. it works really well
i dont get how rat breeding can make money, its sounds fun but can u explain how it can make me money?
Fiona, you sell the baby rates to pet stores.
this site stinks this is for 9 year olds?
hi there inspirepub! i need some help here. i am a girl (9 years old) and love american girls. i would like a few more, and some of their items. Well, i have enough to buy one, the girl of the year, and her pet. i would like some more. i live on a quite block and my parents don't trust me with strangers, even if they are around. so that narrows it down to three houses. they don't have pets, their lawns are as beautiful as ever, and only one has kids, both in highschool. i tried that card/flyer idea that i saw in one of your coments and it didnt get much atteniton. i made a blog, but my parents shut it down. yes they knew about it. my parents won't let me have a yard sale or anything like that. please help me with ideas!!!!! oh and i do chores and i get a very low allowence. im not creative at all. now....please give me some ideas!!!!!
im sorry but its me again and i just wanted to let you know that my parents wont let me do one of those surveys that you get paid for doin g them online......they think it is scams and i sort of think that too. this site has great ideas though i really ca't do them but my friend did so many of them and earned like 68 dollars in aout 4 days from one of your ideas........so a thsnkd from her.

Hi, I have been excepted into a summer academic program in a different state for Duke University, but admission costs $3,350. I need to raise the money myself, but things like lemonade stands yield little money. I know this is a lot of money to raise and it is very intimidating. Do you have any ideas to earn big cash?
busking is illegal.
Hi Inspirepub!
Im 13 and i want to earn money fast becouase my mum and dad cant pay for my stuff cos they can hardly pay the bills!
Ive read all your suggestions but all those things dont work in my community. My community where i live is wierd, nobody wants anything sold to them, they dont want and services from me like cleaning or washing their cars and theytake no interest in my posters and flyers for different things
ive tried everything! and i cant just go out and put up a stall in the middle of the street, you cant do that in the UK!!!
I NEED HELP!
what should i do and how does this Adsense work???
HELP¬!
ebony, the laws are different in different places. In some places, busking is perfectly fine, and in other places it is OK if you have a permit. With any business idea, you should always check the local regulations.
furmaan, Adsense is the name for the advertising you see around this page. The publisher of the web page gets paid every time someone clicks on an ad. You will need someone over 18 to set up an Adsense account for you.
On this website, the writer of a page like this gets some of the click money, and HubPages gets some. This means that you don't need to know how to build a website to get started. There are several revenue-sharing publishing sites like HubPages, or you can set up a blog at Blogger.com - you will have to do more work to attract visitors there than on a big site like HubPages, but you don't have to share the money.
Just Google the terms "Adsense", "make money with Adsense" and "get traffic to a website" and read everything that's free. You'll have enough to get started!
hi i am an twelve year old girl and i am interested in getting some money because i want to send my mum off on a spa weekend because she hasnt had a break without us for a looooooong time!!! Anyway i was wondering how some of the ideas work how do they make money because i am rather interested
(no ripieson isn't my real name)
I have been trying to raise money for a long time and I'm really interested in the rat breeding (but with mice) because I already have 2 mice at home...I got them from a professional breeder. The only problem is, I don't think my parent will let me breed mice. (since they breed so quickly) and they think we'll end up with thousands (although it's probably true)

THANK YOU
I am not criticizing anyone, but PLEASE do not start any sort of "breeding business" there are animals dying in shelters everyday, and breeding creates a huge problem. Many bred animals end up in shelters, and even if they don't, they've taken the place of animals in shelters who have to be killed.

fashiongirl60,
p.s. please comment
Thank you!!!
OMG! Children also use the internet!!!
There are lots of things you can make and sell, jewellery is one, but remember clothes, toys, cards, and other small items are also popular.
You may have to learn a new skill to be able to make something to sell - so go ahead and learn it!
helpless, at your age you will need your Mom's permission and help to make money, and since you are too young to have a job you will either have to sell a product or your services. You could try getting her to read the information at http://www.cash-smart-kids.com, which explains why having a business is very educational and character-building. You could also get her to read about other kids who have done well in business at a young age - http://hubpages.com/search/young+entrepreneurs?use
fashiongirl, many people have problems getting paid by their families - you are not alone! If the suggestions in the article don't inspire you, try reading therough the suggestions I have made in response to other questions that other kids have asked. There are so many options ...

Seriously, my six year old niece is remarkable and I know she's industrious enough (and more than willing) to start making her own money. She's so bright, we're already working on her own web page. I'm going to have to really give your hub some thought! THANKS FOR THE INFO.

Hi Inspirepub!
I find this and some of you other topics pertinent to me as a mom and interesting in terms of how we educate kids.
In fact, you've made me aware of a dilemma, and since "dilemma" is how I define my corner here, I want to thank you for inspiring it. Hey, that's your name, too!
