5 Best Side Hustles For Teenagers

So you're a teenager, and you're looking for ways to make money. Well, you're in luck!

Side hustles are a terrific way to supplement your income or even start your own business. You don't have to wait until you're 18 to start earning money. However, with so many side hustles to select from, it can be tough to know which ones are the best.

That's why we've compiled a list of the top 5 side hustles that any teenager can do to supplement their income.

1. Earn Cash by playing online games.

Do you want to make free money by playing games?

Why not make some money while you're at it? Many teenagers already play online games, so why not make some money while you're at it?

Yes, gaming app developers have discovered a way to get you to play, and they are ready to pay for it!

Websites such as  LongGame, AppCent, and  VeryDice are your go-to.

2, Manage social media of a local business

According to PayScale, social media managers earn an average of $20 per hour. Younger individuals are frequently seen to be more adept at using social media than most adults (and that’s an advantage, right?).

Begin following local companies on social media and keep an eye out for those that aren't making the most of the platforms. Then make a strategic proposition to help them enhance their online activity.  If you are a teenager and you’d like to know more about the intricacies of social media and how it works in terms of content marketing, there are several free courses you can spend a little bit of time on like that of Udemy. Once you become proficient, you can offer and enlist your service as well on Fiverr or Upwork.

3, Livestreaming and growing your audience. 

Twitch.tv is a popular live streaming website where minors may participate with parental permission and supervision. A great example of a side hustle for teenagers is live streaming video games. The higher your ad income, the more viewers you have. You may also join up to become a Twitch.tv partner, which will pay you almost $3  per month for each member you have.

4. Designing & selling merchandise

If you enjoy graphic design, this side hustle is for you.  The merchandise and print-on-demand industry is growing. Websites, where you can  design and sell your merchandise all in one space, are Printify, Printful and SPOD.

5. Selling Photos 

Do you have a passion for photography?

If you're looking for side hustles that revolve around a pastime or passion, and you're interested in photography, look no further. Several websites and applications will pay you for your photographs!
