5. Tutor Young People

No one really likes school, but some people really love learning. If you’re one of those people who loves learning, turn that love of learning into a tutoring gig. Get in contact with your library about putting flyers up, as well as local elementary schools in the area. You’ll have a huge client base in no time at all!

6. Do Online Surveys

People love supporting a good cause and it doesn't have to be for a school or sports team. As long as you're honest about your intentions, why not start a personal fundraiser to get your adult life started without going into debt. The sky is the limit here. You could create a project that benefits the community, or sell homemade goods such as natural playdough, cookie dough, hand-sewn aprons, knitted items, or any other products you believe have value.

9. Start a Garden

If you have the space and love to get your hands dirty, gardening is a great way for a young person to make some extra money. You can grow flowers, fruit and veggies from an inexpensive amount of seeds. Box up the produce and sell it to your neighbors or community members. People are always willing to pay for good food.

10. Become a Pet Sitter

Not a fan of little kids? Become a pet sitter instead. You can use your skills to walk dogs, take care of pet while the owners are out of town or simply offer to clean up the poop from the backyard. If you love animals, this is a great way to spend some time with them and earn some extra money at the same time.

11. Do Product Reviews

Sometimes you can earn money by reviewing new products and letting the manufacturer know what you think. Other times you earn free products, saving you money on things you have to buy anyway. There are loads of products you can try out so this could easily be a great way to put some extra cash away.

12. Do House Sitting

If you're a reliable teen who isn't afraid to be home alone, house sitting could be the most lucrative way for you to stash some cash. All you have to do is stay in the house while a friend or family member is on vacation and make sure it's clean and safe and you could make hundreds all at once.

13. Clean Houses

It might not be the most glamorous way to make money, but people are willing to pay pretty well for someone to clean their home for them. Stock up on cleaning supplies and gloves and you're ready to start your own housekeeping business.

14. Run Errands

It's no secret that many working adults are pretty busy. Cash in on that by running their errands for them. If you have your own car, offer to pick up groceries, drop off library books or whatever else needs done. You can charge based on mileage and the time it will take you. Cool, right?

15. In-home Care

You probably aren't old enough to be able to do medical type things, but you can certainly make some extra dough by cooking meals for shut-ins or elderly people in your neighborhood. You can also do light house cleaning, yard work or other chores that don't require specialized skills. This is a great way to feel good and help someone at the same time.
