Kids are always looking for ways to make money and as parents you want to teach them some responsibility. With the Internet today there are many options available for kids to make money. The best part about it is finding out what your child is really interested in or has a talent for and then teaching them how to utilize it. Once they learn the skill of making money by being creative, it will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
Instructions
1
Use what your child enjoys doing the best. Some children are avid gamers, and this is a potential money maker. Other kids enjoy making products at home such as crafts or needlework. These kinds of items can be sold online using their own web site or sites such as eBay or Craigslist.
2
Set a budget for your children so they can set realistic goals based on the amount of time they have to invest in their project. The last thing you want them to do is burn themselves out with work and not have time to for school. Help them to price their service so that they are getting a fair deal and treating their customer fairly as well.
3
Sell their service through a commercial website or their own personal website. The gamer can create unique items or make high-level characters in MMORPG games if that is what they are interested in. Once these items or characters are made, they can sell them for cash and start all over again. If you child enjoys writing, create an Google Adsense account for a blog that they create. This way they can earn money and build their writing skill at the same time.
Tips & Warnings
If your child is a gamer, limit the amount of time that they put into their games. Although the gaming is a fun pastime and it can potentially be a money maker, prolonged hours in front of a computer terminal or TV screen is not good for kids.
