5 Side Hustles You Can Start as a Teen (No Money Needed)

$350/week, low effort, non-time consuming

I was browsing TikTok and observing individuals earning money online. I perceived it as "not my thing."

---

I experimented with some of the things like selling products, completing survey-based jobs using mobile apps, and even volunteered to assist my neighbors, but nothing came together.

The true reality? Nothing gave me the money I wanted as a child.

All this "side hustle" talk seems good but doesn't assist individuals like us in school, trying to manage life, and have zero money to begin with.

I checked it out and discovered some jobs for teenagers that don't require special talents, are inexpensive to begin, and don't ask you to work 12 hours a day.

1. Solo work with AI.

I wasn't a writer or designer, but earlier I'd utilized ChatGPT. That's when I understood that I can utilize AI to assist me in composing such things as product descriptions, messages for socials, or emails to small business owners.

I assisted my buddy in his Shopify shop. I launched some ads through email with ChatGPT within one hour, and he paid me $200 for this. It was great.

The AI did not do all the work for me. I still marketed myself, searched for customers, and made my writing original. But it cut down the time I spent from hours to minutes.

2. Sell Products You Make Online

No, you needn't sell products in great quantities. I made basic Canva templates - trackers, schedule organizers, and social posts - and sold these products through Etsy.

They're easy, they're secure, and after you create some, they will continue to sell even when you are asleep.

3. Assisting Others in Learning (If You Know Something: Share It)

I started tutoring children in maths online. It's simple, you get paid more than you would with surveys, and you genuinely assist people.

Plus, it builds confidence. You'll learn to explain things clearly - which is a skill you'll need no matter what you do.

4. Producing Content

I will get frank with you, making an audience takes patience. But it feels nice to create TikToks or YouTube videos regarding your side hustle or a passion you are crazy about. Start with simple tasks - describe how you make your Canva templates or the little projects you've attempted.

5. Online Surveys (Low Pay)

I started doing online surveys as a quick easy way to make some extra cash.

The truth?

They disqualify you from taking surveys because you didnt meet their match. They disqualify you after taking a survey.

Surveys are LOW RISK.

Many teenagers do this instead of starting something because you are guaranteed money. If this is your only option but you dont want to start a business, its good if you want to earn 100 dollars a week.

Fourth, I created social media content, which takes time to grow but is rewarding. Lastly, I tried online surveys, which pay less but are low effort.
