Who doesn't want their child to be successful? There are so many unique ways for kids to earn money that this list can't cover them all: Do you have a pair of jeans your friends love?

Charge them a fair amount that they can afford. You could have your first car, the latest iPhone, a new computer, or even save for your senior trip this way! This one might be reserved for the girls, but jewelry is a very popular item and has been for thousands of years. Now, cheap jewelry is widely available, making unique pieces popular and sought-after. This opens a wide market for those who love to create jewelry. Teens and pre-teens can make necklaces, hair jewelry, bracelets, chokers, cuffs, earrings, rings, belly rings, anklets, and toe rings from hundreds of different materials.

Many hobby shops have these materials, and the tools can be relatively inexpensive. Items can be sold to friends, family, classmates, teachers, teammates, and much more. For selling in public places, parental supervision is recommended.

Kids these days have the advantage of knowing how to use certain tools on the computer that adults don't have the time or knowhow to use. For example, there are many different photo editing programs available, and many teens, preteens, and even younger children are widely using them.

You could help friends and family with their profile photos, too. This skill could be extremely popular and lucrative around the holidays, when people are preparing their annual holiday cards with photos. With all of the special events that go on in our daily lives, there are so many different opportunities for children and teens to try their their hands at photo editing! In addition to the above method, photography in itself is a profitable venture for any kid that has access to a camera.

Photography can earn money for kids in different ways, such as those listed below:. If the kid loves to cook and bake, a baked goods business could be a good idea. He or she can mix up delicious cookies, cakes, brownies, and other treats for friends and family. If his or her cooking skills are advanced, they could even offer a catering service for special events.

With the parents' permission, children and teens can sell unwanted items. This will usually require parental supervision and guidance. While this may not be a business opportunity for young children, it's a great way for a teenager to earn quick cash.

If you discover that you're really good at this, you could go around collecting unwanted items from people in the neighborhood and sell them at a garage sale or online at Ebay. You could also charge a fee to help friends, family, or neighbors organize their own garage sales. Most pet-sitting is suitable job for older children. Many people work and don't have the time to give their pets the time and attention they want.

Some pets don't have to be watched overnight: But when people go on vacation or extended leaves and cannot take their pets, the pets will need care. Although many pet-sitting jobs require that the sitter come to the home of the pet s , if this is not an option, pet-sitting can also be done in the sitter's home instead.

Many parents pay their kids allowances, while others believe that unpaid chores are a way to prepare the child for a life of work. Should a child's parents pay for chores it would be a good idea for the kid to actually do them, and for the child to have a routine method for saving those earnings so that they add up. Really big things like cleaning out the refrigerator or organizing the garage may be one-time jobs you might do for a set fee, but smaller things might be performed on a weekly basis.
