I have
received some messages lately from people looking for online jobs for teens.
Some of these people actually were teens, and some were parents of teens.
If you are a teenager or if
you have a teenager, I have some solutions that will help!
Most of these things are
just good for extra money online, but some money is certainly better than no
money! Especially if you're without a car and wouldn't have a way to get to and
from a part-time job outside the home.
Online Jobs For Teens:
Deliver Groceries With Shipt – 18 & Up
If you're at least 18 years
old with a valid driver's license, insurance, and a smartphone, you can get
paid to deliver groceries to other people with Shipt. A lot of people are
doing this now and loving it.
Shipt pays you once a week,
and some shoppers are able to earn as much as $22 hourly. This is what is
advertised, but please be mindful most people average much less than that.
Go here to register to
shop for Shipt, or read our Shipt
review first.
Deliver Restaurant Orders & More For Postmates –
18 & Up
If you're at least 18 years
old, you can get paid to deliver food orders for Postmates in most major
locations across the US.
Most people who work for
Postmates bring in at least $10 hourly, plus it is very flexible so you can do
this when you have time — working it around school hours or any other job you
may have.
You do need to be eligible
to work in the United States and have access to an Android or iPhone.

go ahead and get signed up to work here.
Reward Sites – 13 & Up
Reward sites are similar in
a way to survey sites because it's something you can do here and there to build
up cash and rewards over time.
These sites usually have a
mix of different things you can do to earn — search the web, redeem offers,
answer surveys, watch videos, and several other things. Most of them also pay
in points.
The more you participate,
the more you can build up. The points can usually be redeemed for not only
Paypal cash but also various merchandise and Amazon gift codes.
Here is a list of some of
the more popular reward sites you can begin using as a teen. And remember, this
one is just extra cash.

Survey Panels – 13 & Up
Teens can take online surveys for money for
different online survey panels. Many, many online survey panels do permit you
to sign up as long as you are at least 13 years old. Note you must have your parents permission if
you're under 17.
Like most of the other
online jobs for teens, this is money that is slow to build up. But the more
survey panels you are a member of, the more survey invitations you should
receive.
Doing surveys here and there
as you receive them can certainly add up to extra money in a month's time.
Below are some of the better panels out there that allow users to sign up at as
young as 13.
·
Pinecone Research – 18

Epoll – 13 & up

Pet Sit With Rover – 18 & Up
If you're at least 18, you
can register yourself on Rover.com and get
pet-sitting jobs in your area. Most people who are sitters on Rover say their
first job comes within a few weeks or less after getting signed up.
While Rover focuses on
dog-sitting, you can get gigs taking care of cats and other animals as well.
Pay is fast — once your service is complete, you can withdraw your earnings
from your account.
You can read our Rover review for more
details or go ahead and get started here.
Direct Sales Opportunities – 11 & Up
There are a handful of
direct sales opportunities that are open to teenagers as well as adults.
Keep in mind that while
these opportunities make it possible for you to earn money as a teen, there is
still an upfront investment to start. These companies typically require you to
purchase a starter kit of items to help grow your business.
However, you will begin
earning commission on your sales after that.
·
Stella & Dot –
Jewelry. Must be at least 18.
·
Origami Owlettes –
Jewelry. Must be between the ages of 11 and 17.
·
NuSkin – Skincare. Can
sign up at 16 or 17 with parental consent.
·
Gel Moment – 16 &
up. Skin care, nails, etc.
·
Perfectly Posh –
Skincare. Open to teens 13 & up, but you must contact their support number
if you're trying to sign up under the age of 18.
Slice the Pie – 13 & Up
Slice
the Pie is a website you can use to rate and review music.
You can sign up at 13 and
older. Simply listen to a clip of a song — most of the time by a newer artist —
and give it a 1 to 10 rating along with four or five sentences explaining what
you liked or didn't like about the music clip.
Pay for each music clip you
rate varies. Sometimes I get as much as .18 cents and then other times it's
down to 7 cents.
Slice the Pie occasionally
has special promotions where you can earn more for rating songs. They pay out
every Tuesday and Friday with Paypal. You must have at least $10 to request
your money.

the Pie review or go here to
get started.
Fiverr – 13 & Up
Fiverr is a huge
marketplace where people post services they are willing to provide for $5.
Teens are allowed to sign up and post services here. Fiverr actually has
potential to turn into more than just side money, so that makes it one of the
best online jobs for teens.
Many people do make their
living from Fiverr, earning thousands of dollars per week.
If you're wondering what
services to offer, just take a look at what other people are offering and see
if you can do something similar.
Fiverr pays you with Paypal
and after all the fees, you will receive almost $4 for every $5 order you
receive and complete.
Read my Fiverr review or go here to sign up.
U-Haul – 16 & Up
U-Haul is a well-known
company (I'm sure you've heard of them) that occasionally has work from home
customer service type jobs available. This is definitely one of the real
online jobs for teens, and not an extra money gig like most of what is listed
here.
The majority of the
work from home customer service jobs I come across require that applicants be
at least 18 years old, but U-Haul hires workers that are as young as 16!
You can read my review of U-Haul work from home jobs or go here to check and see
if they have work from home positions available now.
Sell on Etsy – 13 & Up
Etsy is an online
marketplace for all things handmade and vintage. You can open up a shop on Etsy
with your parent's consent if you are under the age of 18. However, your parent
or guardian will have to additionally be the one who manages your shop.
You can read my Etsy
seller review or go here to sign up.
YouTube – 13 & Up
YouTube is an option if you
like the idea of making videos and posting them online. Many teens have been
successful with this. People who make YouTube videos typically earn from the ad
revenue, so the more your videos are seen, the more you can earn.
There are some helpful hints on Quora regarding
earning money from YouTube as a teen if you want to check them out.
Enroll – 15 & Up
This is a newer online
tutoring site that lets you sign up to tutor people in virtually any subject.
You do not need to be a
professional and you can sign up at as young as 15 years old. So if you are a
teen or know a teen that has vast knowledge in a subject that could be taught
to others online, this might be a good idea.
Go
here to sign up for Enroll.
Qmee – 13 & Up
Qmee is a browser extension
that you can install on pretty much any browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.).
Once installed, sometimes
Qmee will show sponsored advertisements on the side when you're searching on
any popular search engine. Each advertisement will pay a certain amount
(usually a few cents or more).
If you visit any of the ads
you see when they pop up, you'll get that cash into your Qmee account. They
will pay out instantly to Paypal no matter how much is in your account. Qmee is
open to people ages 13 and up in either the US or the UK.
Go
here to sign up for Qmee, or read our review to learn more
about what Qmee is.
Qriket
This is a mobile app I'm
trying out where you can spin a wheel to earn money. There is no age limit to
play, although the terms say that you may require parent or guardian consent
depending on your local jurisdiction.
The way it works is you
earn spins by watching short ads within the app.
Every spin is a chance to
win up to $5. Obviously most of the time, you're not going to win $5, but your
earnings can accumulate over time so that is becomes a source of some extra
cash here and there.
Local Facebook Yard Sale Groups
If you're a teen with stuff
to sell, consider looking around on Facebook for some local yard sale groups.
You can join and then post your used video games, electronics, or anything else
you might want to get rid of.
This is a good option
because there really isn't an age limit. However, definitely use caution and
don't meet anyone in an isolated place alone. If you are not yet driving, have
a parent or guardian drive you to meet the person you are selling to.
