Creative Ways for Teens to Make Money at Home

 


1. Start a Blog (and Earn Money Off Ads)

Create a platform to share your passion. This passion could be fashion, career, music, reading, or even finance. Buy a domain and learn how to create your own website. Share all your favorite stories, tips, and advice on this site and add it to your resume. Place ads on your site or earn sponsorships as you make your way through school. Over time, each post could make you an extra $750.

  • Time: Low to high
  • Earnings: $25–750 a post
  • Extra tools: Illustration software, domain, website template (optional)

2. Test Out Affiliate Marketing

If you love to shop and have great taste, you could earn commissions off your purchases. Sign up for affiliate marketing programs like LikeToKnowIt, Amazon Associates, Solvid Affiliate, or eBay Partner Network. Every time a link you give out is used for a purchase, you earn a percentage of the sale. Add these links to your social media accounts and website pages, or send them directly to your loved ones.

  • Time: Low to high
  • Earnings: $100–$10,000 a month
  • Extra tools: Website or social media accounts

3. Love to Write? Proofread for Some Cash

If you love to write and read, you could be qualified to proofread copy by the hour. To find proofreading side hustles, create an account on a freelancing website like Upwork. Set your desired hourly wage and take on projects whenever you have free time. Your skills could help improve someone’s resume or research report.

  • Time: Low to high
  • Earnings: $25–50 an hour
