These money making tips for teenagers range from creative to practical, from blogging to teaching sports (my 14 year old niece is an ice skating coach). If you need ways to earn extra money and you're a teen, you'll find something here.


I started making money when I was 12, babysitting. If I were to give my pre-teen self tips for earning extra money, I'd encourage myself to go into business for myself. I'd tell myself to start a blog! If you like to write, read How to Stay Motivated when You're Starting a Blog.


Finding ways to work for yourself is the best way to make money, whether you're a teenager or older adult like me. Entrepreneurs are adventurous and creative, and enjoy the challenge of finding different ways to make money! Most of the money making tips for teenagers on this list are entrepreneurial in spirit, but many involve earning money the old fashioned way.


These tips won't work for all teens, but they may fire up your creative spirit!
