Want to make money as a teenager? Follow this list of small business ideas.
Babysitting
- You must be responsible.
- You must be honest.
- You must be trustworthy.
- Be flexible and open to working different hours and days of the week, depending on your client’s needs.
- Have a good attitude—if you’re not having fun doing it, no one else will either!
Put together a portfolio of your best work. You can use websites like Behance or Dribbble to showcase your designs. If you have any client testimonials, include them in your portfolio as well!
Pet Sitting
You may be wondering what kind of animals you could potentially sit for. That will depend on the type of pet you have and your own experience with animals. If you have had a cat or dog before, this could be an option for you. But if not, it might be better to stick with small animals like guinea pigs, hamsters, or even fish (if your state allows it). Whatever steps necessary to ensure that the animal gets along well with others should also apply here as well!
If there are any issues that arise during your sessions such as an illness or destructive behavior caused by boredom, just make sure to contact the owner immediately so they can take care of it.
Lawn Mowing/Snow Shoveling
Mowing lawns and shoveling snow are two of the most common ways that teens make money during the school year. You can do this in the summer or winter, depending on where you live!
To get started, you need to have a decent lawn mower and/or snow shovel. If you don’t already have these items, it’s worth buying new ones so that people will want to hire you for their yards.
Mowing lawns is fairly easy…you just push your mower around until all the grass has been cut. But be careful! The blades on some types of mowers can hurt if they touch someone who isn’t paying attention. Also, don’t forget about any shrubs or bushes that might get in your way when cutting grass — they’re still technically part of their yard! And make sure not to leave behind any patches where no one would ever want meadows growing due to lack of sunlight exposure (like under trees). Don’t let anyone tell you differently; this is important stuff!
Personal Shopping
Personal shopping is a business that many teens can easily get into. You’ll need to have some fashion sense and be able to communicate well with your clients, but if you’re good at both of those things, it’s an extremely profitable way to make money.
The best way to learn how much you can make as a personal shopper is by talking with other professionals in the field and asking them what they charge per hour or project. From there, you’ll also want to figure out how much time you’re going spend on each client—so for example if it takes two hours for each client (this number can vary greatly depending on whether or not their clothes are already organized), then multiply your hourly rate by two and that will give you an idea of how much money each client will bring in.
It’s important that when starting out as a personal shopper, make sure all of your clients are aware of what services come along with the job (e.g., showing up on time) so there aren’t any surprises later down the line!
Computer Lessons/Repairman
Computer repair is a great business idea for a teen because it can get started with little or no startup cost. You might have heard the saying “Age doesn’t matter, only experience matters”. Well, this is true in every field and computer repair is no exception. Being young means that you don’t have any bad habits as most adults do, so you can easily adapt to any situation if needed, and usually being young also means having more energy than your older counterparts!
What skills are needed? Well, most people think that to be successful in this field all you need is an expensive degree from college but actually there are many other things that are just as important: patience, creativity, and good communication skills (it’s always better if you know how to speak clearly). These are all qualities that teenagers possess naturally so why not use them?
How To Get Started With Your Computer Repair Business? Before getting started with your business plans however, there are some things that need consideration such as finding out what exactly needs repairing or upgrading on certain computers; whether there are enough clients available within your local area who may be interested in purchasing such services; whether they will pay their bills on time etcetera… You should also consider what kind of advertisement would work best for promoting yourself like flyers delivered door-to-door by hand or advertisements placed at strategic locations throughout town like bus stops or malls where crowds gather regularly – these methods could prove effective especially when combined together since they provide two different types of advertising simultaneously (one person while another impersonal). Another way would be through social media platforms like Facebook where users create groups dedicated exclusively to providing information regarding services offered within each one’s specific industry sector which makes it easier for potential customers looking for someone reliable enough
