Let's face it; teenagers today are some of the smartest kids this earth has ever seen.
We're churning out multi-talented kids that have more intelligence in their pinky finger than many adults today.
This is a major advantage for teens and young adults who are looking to make some money.
If you are uneasy about them working outside the home, the internet is a great place to showcase their talents, and make money from them.
You may be wondering what kind of talents that your teen can use to make money online.
Honestly, the internet has become so huge, that whatever their talent is, there will be someone there who can benefit from it, and someone who will be willing to pay for it.
For example, maybe your teenager has been making handmade knit caps since grade school.
They can sell those products on auction sites such as etsy and eBay, or even their own website.
Maybe your teenager has perfected your chocolate chip cookie recipe; there are people all over your town and all over the world that would pay for a good chocolate chip cookie.
You never know, it could end up being your child's calling, and could become their lifelong career.
It's not just handmade products that sell great online; perhaps your child is a great guitar player.
They can even hold online guitar lessons to teach others.
There really isn't a limit to what they can do or how much they can make.
As long as you monitor their internet use and the people that they are communicating with, it can be a positive experience for everyone.
