Teen Millionaires: Kids Working Online

Friday September 12, 2008

A young reader, Caeara, recently asked about getting an online job after school. I came across the article Jobs for Teens at Gather Little By Little just in time! Not only does he list a handful of jobs, but start an online business is listed as one of them.

He directs us to Meet the Teen Millionaires detailing five kids who made a lot of money with successful websites. Of course, not everyone is going to make a million with their website, but because of the low cost of entry, it's a fun venture for kids to try.

Madison, thanks for the links and glad my articles were able to answer your reader’s question. I think online ventures are a great way for teens to go. It allows them to balance their work and studies, teaches them the basic principles of starting and running a real business, and as you said has a very low start-up cost!

Thanks again!

(11) trackangle13 says:

I am 14 and i need a job.
i also think that if you are any younger then me all you need to do is live life and worry about money when your older..if your11 or 12 you are retarded to find a job because almost every thing on earth is illegal for you to get a job. so stop tyring and if your 13 really the only things you can do is online serveys and dog walking and baby sitting and small stuff like that so good luck to you and if your 14 there is a possibility you can work at a gas station.

I made brownies, peanut brittle etc. My mom took them to her work in a container. We sold them for $1.00. I made over $100.00 cash!!!! I also suggest getting a savings account or a CD. You can’t lose your money. In fact, you earn some $$$$$$$.

You kids who want to make extra money for your parents you could start an ebay shop on your parents account with fairly safe bets like buy it now and a bit of hard work you could turnover over 300 a month at least.

(43) cherise says:

hi im 14 and my friend at school introduced me to this GDI(Global Domains International) thing were you get to own your own website and get paid for all the friends you get to sign up and so for it is working for me once you develop the site and get people coming in there isn’t really much else to do but the best thing is all i have to do is use the internet and spread the word this is like the perfect teenage job because i get paid for telling my friends stuff so i just work it in to the conversation ideally when everyone starts complaining about they have no money to go to the mall:-)
