Earning Money in the Summer


School is out and summer is here, but wait you need to find a way to make money.  We all need money for the fun things we want to do this summer; I have put together a list of ideas to make money.   I have found the best way to make money is to babysit or apply for a part-time job.  But I realize some of you may not be old enough to apply for a part-time job, so here are a few ideas.

Babysitting:  Babysitting is a great way to earn extra money. It’s fun and pretty easy for the most part, unless you get some spoiled kids. Lol

Pet Sitting: This is defiantly one of my favorite jobs! It’s easy and fun.  I did a lot of pet sitting last summer-fall.  When I generally house or pet sit I go over to their house 2x a day for dogs and 1x a day for cats. 

Part-Time Jobs:  If you’re 16 or older, applying at a retail store is also a good idea.  But I highly caution you…..don’t spend your entire paycheck at that store!  Some local places in your town may hire teens under 16, so I would also check that out.

  1. If you love to go on Social Media and have the time on your hands, go find companies who might need you to help them with their social networks. Young people understand these site way better than a lot of older people and businesses all over the place are scrambling to get better at it, increase their presence. well, go out and find them and get hired by them. If you have a ton of friends, likes or followers, if you can do it from your smart phones, you have a way to earn some extra money right there. Advertising is easy. Put stuff on your Instagram or Tumblr, make fliers and give them to local businesses, or hang them up on places that let you. (Lots of coffee shops and bakeries have Bulletin boards that let you do this.) Use people you already know to advertise for you, parents, teachers, older brothers or sisters, cousins, aunts - who ever. Get them to put the word out. The best part is you don't have to stay local, this is the internet age, you can find people from all over the country or the world who might need you to help them grow their Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or Instagram - help them out, do what you pretty much already do for fun anyway and earn while doing it. Good luck.
