Kids of all ages are frequently looking for ways that they can earn money. This makes parents happy. First of all it means that their children will have a bit of their own spending money to get the things that they want. Perhaps more importantly, earning their own money teaches kids about the value of money. It also teaches them skills related to working that they’ll be using for the rest of their lives. It’s an all-around great situation when kids start earning their own money from an early age. But how should they do it?
Here are 30 different ways that kids might earn money:
1. Bake Sales. Kids can start learning to do some simple baking from a very young age. They can hold bake sales in the neighborhood every week or every month where they sell their baked goods. Truly entrepreneurial kids may even set up a baking business through which neighbors and family members can place special orders.
2. Blogging. Kids these days are really good with computers and that’s a great place to start earning a little bit of money. They can start a blog and promote it through their MySpace account. They can earn a small amount of money for advertising. Kids may need to work with a parent to set up a legal account for accepting ad money.
3. Microstock Photography. Another great online business that kids can get into is selling their photos through microstock photography sites online. There are also sites like ShareAPic where kids can host their own photo galleries and get ad money when people visit the pictures. Kids who take great digital pictures can use the family camera to begin this business. Again, parents may need to get involved in setting up an account under an adult’s name.
4. Face Painting. Artistic kids may want to learn how to do face painting. Other kids in the neighborhood will be happy to pay them to practice this skill. Kids can also get permission to do this at parties or local street fairs.
5. Candy Sales. Kids who want to make their money off of other kids should look into doing candy sales in the neighborhood. Candy and popsicles can be purchased in bulk and then sold individually to local children. They can also be sold to adults who have a sweet tooth!
6. Make and Sell Jewelry. A more traditional business for kids is the making and selling of jewelry. Kids can make friendship bracelets and simple beaded jewelry. These can be sold to neighbors, at flea markets or even online.
7. Open an Etsy Store. Kids who are truly crafty may want to work with their parents to set up an online Etsy store. This is a place where people can list handmade items for sale. Kids that can make jewelry, do sewing or create other types of handmade crafts can earn a decent living this way.
8. Make Soaps and / or Candles. Jewelry isn’t the only handmade item that kids are good at making. Homemade soaps and candles are other things that kids can learn how to make and sell.
9. Work at Farmers’ Markets. Those crafty kids might want to get involved in selling their soaps and other things at Farmers’ Markets (if they make them in an organic way). Alternatively, you can help your kids get to know the local farmers that are selling at Farmers’ Markets. It may be possible for kids to earn some extra money by getting hired to assist at the farmers’ stands.
10. Have a Yard Sale. A yard sale is a great way for kids to earn some quick cash. They can sell the items that they don’t want anymore to get money for what they do want to buy. Business-minded kids can offer to run yard sales for neighbors and family members and they can keep a percentage of the earnings.
11. Start an eBay Business. Kids who are really good at selling things may be interested in working with their parents to start a small eBay store. They can use a bit of startup money to purchase items from local yard sales and then they can re-sell those items for a marked up price online.
12. Babysitting. Older kids can get paid to babysit younger kids. Kids who are too young to babysit may be able to find work as parent helpers, babysitting while the parents are home to give the parents a break while the kids learn babysitting skills.
13. Read to Young Kids. Another job for older kids is to get paid to read books to younger kids. Most parents want their kids to read. Book-smart children can set up small reading groups in which they read aloud to kids who can’t read yet. Parents pay a small fee for their kids to be in the group.
14. Tutoring. Older kids who are starting to get knowledgeable about teaching can even offer tutoring services to younger kids. Kids who already know how to read or do math are often the best teachers for younger kids who are just learning these skills.
15. Dog Walking. Some kids are really great with animals. Those kids should put that skill to use by earning some money doing dog walking for people in the neighborhood who have dogs. Kids who aren’t ready to do this may offer the service of coming over to the home and playing with the dog to help get the dog’s energy out.
16. Pet Grooming. Kids can also earn money from pet owners by offering to wash those pets. Dog washing is a common job for kids. In some areas, horse washing and grooming is also an option.
17. Yard Work. There are a lot of jobs in the yard that kids can handle doing and which people in the neighborhood will be happy to pay to have done. Tending a garden, raking leaves, watering plants and re-painting house trim are all things that kids might get paid to do for someone else.
18. Garden. Kids who live in places with nice yards may actually want to start their own gardens. They can then sell the fruits of their labor for some extra cash.
19. Errands. There are a lot of little errands that kids are capable of doing to earn some money. Returning items that one neighbor has borrowed from another, running to the corner store to pick up a few things and checking someone’s mail on a daily basis are examples of such tasks.
20. Housecleaning. Children who prefer to stay indoors may find that they can make a good business out of doing housecleaning for others. There are tons of different indoor tasks that kids can get paid
21. Filing and home office organization. Some kids are really great at organizing and filing which can be a lot of help to adults who have a home office. Kids who have basic computer skills (like typing) may also be able to sell those services.
22. Party assistant. Kids that are good at following directions can be a great help to people during parties. Setting up for a party, cleaning up afterwards and serving drinks or snacks during the party are all tasks that kids can handle. If your family knows a lot of people who host parties throughout the year then this can be a good kids’ business.
23. Cooking. Kids that are skilled at cooking may be able to turn this skill into a business. Many busy families would be happy to buy a few pre-cooked meals each week to save them the trouble of cooking for themselves. Kids can learn to make meals that can be frozen and stored and they can end up turning this into a pretty good ongoing business.
24. Assisting the Elderly. Elderly people are often happy just to have kids around. Kids can earn money by working as a companion to an elderly person, doing some of their basic chores and assisting them in getting around.
25. Flyer Delivery Service. Kids may be able to work with local businesses to earn some money doing basic advertising. Businesses pay kids to hand-deliver flyers to local residents. This is generally best for older kids or groups of kids working together due to safety concerns about going door-to-door.
26. Car Wash. The car wash is one of the most basic ways that kids can earn money. It’s another one that’s really great for groups of kids who want to work together.
27. Recycling. It used to be that kids could earn a decent amount of money by collecting people’s recyclables and cashing them in. Turning in cans for recycling doesn’t earn you much money in most places anymore. However, kids can still get into recycling for cash if they get creative. There are a lot of cool crafts that can be made from recycled materials. Kids that can do this for people who have a lot of junk around will be a hot commodity in some areas.
28. Host Movie Nights. If you are willing to have a bunch of people over at your house once a week or once a month then your kids can earn some money by hosting a movie night. They can either charge a small fee for coming to the movie or they can offer the movie for free and then charge for popcorn and sodas. If your family has a projector and a yard then you could even let them host outdoor movie nights at your place.
29. Make a Magazine or Comic Book. Kids who like to write may want to put together their own little magazine or comic book. They can then sell it to friends and family members for a small fee. Kids who are consistent with this can even sell subscriptions.
30. Hold a Talent Show or Put on a Play. One of the most creative money-making ideas for kids is to put on a work of performance art and to charge others to come see it. A talent show or a play can be a great way to bring a group together for some entertainment while kids earn money. Kids who can do neat things like break dance or do gymnastics can also do a performance around that.

I am trying to save up for some skates Which are almost £65 and I have wanted the 4 AGES… here you can check them out! they are called ANARCHY REVOLUTION AGGRESSIVE SKATES, but anyway good tips, an I will try and do some but the only problem is that if you do it with a friend, it will take longer to get the money then you will have to split it between you, and then u will have to work more… leave a reply ;D
194
I AM 12 and Yeah i might try some of these ideas as im trying to save up £200!!!!!!!!!!!!!

these ideas are ok, i have a very long list of earning cash, a good one could be bike washing, selling your home made comic books or magazines. You could sell your old accounts like runescape accounts or stuff because top accounts sell for like £700!!! shocking i know!
188
HIya, i am only 12.Your ideas are really good. I sold 2 things on ebay and got £16.00. I am hoping to get a lot more now i have read your ideas though. Also another idea is if u feel a bit shy going round to peoples houses you could get a friend round and bake them and sell them together, so then you would have more things to sell and it would make it more fun doing it with someone. Hope that helps.
Have fun making money !!!

also people underestimate kids, im 12 and i have opened my own designer clothes brand, its online but the profits are going towards a window. kids in some cases better than adults because, sure they havnt done any training, but they don`t expect a lot and are willing to do manual labour, where as adults expect lots but wont do the dirty work.
179
i am 12 years old most of these you can not do in the uk, but there are plenty of things you can do, the leaflet distrubution is a buisness i am venturing in but another suggestion would be to buy drinks etc. in bulk and selling for there rrp at the park or skate park or ice rink

I am only 11 years old, and found that making money isnt easy! Luckily, these ideas are so helpful i would definetly recommend , as i have earned £55.42 in a month and have been able to buy the tent i wanted. Thank You!
167
They are good ideas I agree but unfortunately most of those things are decided by the environment around you e.g. selling things to others and doing jobs for others. I live in the UK with the burden of only 12 years on my back and preferably I would rather not go round to my neighbours and sell them some cookies or wash their cars, whether it is because I do not feel comfortable doing it (shy) or I just do not like them particularly I do not know. However the idea of setting up ads is a great idea and is a very easy way to earn money, one of which I hadn’t thought of before reading this. I thank you for giving me these ideas as they are very helpful. Thank you

143
Really helpful!?
142
in the uk most are legal,
you’re not allowed to work in shops under the age of 13 but theres no laws againsed bakesales or dogwalking as long as u dont put stuff you’re not supposed to into the cakes and dont let anyones dog run away
im 14 and think most of these ideas are pretty good for small amounts of cash at a time
i’ll try some of them
oh and to all who are asking about selling cakes in school
u can if u ask permission from the rector/head teacher
hope this has helped anyonexx
141
Georgia-olivia,
Is what legal in the uk? If you mean setting up a stall, no it is not, you will need to apply for a license.
140
Is this ilegialin the uk ?
139
hey i’m 10. i think your ideas are cool! my favourite idea of your’s is to do a car wash! got to go. better start making money!
138
I’m 12, I can’t really say i’m poor, I have £600! Sounds like alot to most of you, but trust me, it’s not for what i’m saving up for. Anyway, as previously said by others, nobody in the uk ants these services. Nobody reads flyers, if you can’t walk a dog you don’t buy a dog, it’s illigal to set up a stall in the street, nobody wants to come to movie nights and if yu get caught selling stuff in my school your excluded… So thanks anyway.
137
lol am 12 goin 13 and im to nevous to do any of this stuff
136
I think ur soo right alex, here in the UK, well lets just say hardly any friendly people like in the movies
135
I’m 12 and I have started using Ebay with my parent’s permission here in the UK and in selling just rare Pokemon TCG cards I have earned over £500!!

Hey, your tips are useful for only younger kids because at the age of 12+, many people are getting a bit shy. Maybe one of your friends sees you on the streets or so. xD
And in the UK I don’t know if all these tips are actually Legal :O

Yeah Amy! Go Girl! Lol. Its True Tho, Markus and Toto you’re dead mean, destroying some childrens way of thinking, big wow, maybe some dreams are a long shot, but whats wrong with trying, you’ve got more of a chance, and dont bother telling us that when you were 7-14 you didn’t have a pretty much un achevable dream! And in the 21st centurie most dreams can be acheived!!

Hi Flory,
Great to hear that your are making money selling cakes.
The best blogging platform is wordpress, that is the one we use and it is highly recommended and free.
Good luck,

toto and marcus, you are not the kindest people i know.
@ toto: a-duh, dude, TWENTY FOUR!!! this is for kids. thats, like 0-16. (Not like 1 year olds could sell lemonade, lol)
I found some of these ides quite helpful. yes, they may not all be the most original, but who cares? i don’t.
@Marcus: tell me: were you born a grownup? you were 11 once to, you know. everybody was. and you had dreams, too. and by saying “little eleven year olds thinking they are going to start a newspaper buisness or somthing are pretty hilarious” is being nasty. Kids have dreams. Dreams can be realistic or completely laughable, but its the grownups responsibility to keep those ideas going, not crush them. It’s with ideas that a ten-year-old kid can become a twenty-year-old millionaire.
You also said: “Children are so gulible and easily manipulated.” now that is mean. children are children. are you gonna tell them ‘all you ever thought was stupid, you’re stupid, and i hate you?’ well, thats what you’re saying to every child in existence by your previous quote!
and just some info: when i was 11-16, i earned my money by making magazine. so blah to you!

These are good ideas. My 12 year old son is constantly trying to make money and he has started making bookmarks and birdhouses to sell. He’s also big into online gaming, so maybe I’ll help him set up a blog.
Thanks for the great ideas.

This is a great web-site. I would recomend it to any kid who wants to earn money
47
These ideas suck pretty bad. And the comments by little eleven year olds thinking they are going to start a newspaper buisness or somthing are pretty hilarious. Children are so gulible and easily manipulated.
