Parents of teenagers know that there is nothing more rewarding in life than seeing your child become an adult. However, it also has its frustrations, one of which is money, lol!
Good online jobs for teens do exist; just make sure that you stay aware of the jobs your teen is involved in, to keep them safe, and to make sure they aren’t trying to be scammed.
I am raising the last of my three boys, and he recently turned 17 years old. In this day and age, it can become expensive to keep up with your teen’s wants, and even necessities. There are cell phone bills to pay, video games to buy, clothing (especially if you have a teenage daughter), and car insurance bills. These are just to mention a few!
Money can become a source of frustration between your teen and you. Having a teen who is constantly hounding you for some extra cash to spend at the mall, going to the movies, or eating out can become an issue for the parents who are having to continuously hand over money.
When a teen has a way to earn money for themselves, it helps them learn a strong work ethic, as well as learning to take on some responsibility.
So, instead of a teenager sitting around the house waiting for cash to be given to them, teens can start earning some extra cash on their own.
There are many good online jobs for teens. Check out the following:
YouTube

There isn’t anyone who can make a definite living by just taking surveys, but for a teen who needs some extra cash, surveys are incredibly simple and usually don’t take much time.
Speed is important when taking surveys online, and because teenagers are young and can be quick when it comes to technology and computers, taking surveys online is the perfect way for teens to earn some extra money.

Selling Stuff Online
One of the best ways that teens can earn money, and do it very quickly, is for them to sell stuff online. Going to Craigslist or Ebay is a perfect way for teens to be able to sell movies, books, clothes, etc. This is also a great way to declutter and let go of things that aren’t used anymore. It can give your teen a great feeling to give a gently worn or gently used item to someone else and make money at the same time.
Having said that, giving to others less fortunate is also a great way to teach your teen compassion and how to have concern for others.
