I have made countless posts about affiliate marketing and if you’re on my YouTube channel,  I have also made countless video tutorials about affiliate marketing and so many approaches to it. This side hustle is simply where you earn a percentage of sales through your affiliate link. This versatile hustle works for various products, from jewelry to clothes. Just be aware that many affiliates require you to be 18 or older for PayPal withdrawal.

Reselling products at school

This is somehow off the point according to the title of this blog post which says online side hustles for teens, but this is an offline side hustle and it can also work online if you have a website or social media page where you can resell products. 

Whether it’s candy or custom T-shirts through Teespring, it can be lucrative. Selling print on demand shirts both in school or online is a straightforward process: gather design requests, create on Teespring, and sell for a profit. I personally made over $2,000 online with this.

Platforms like printify,  printful, redbubble pays you money when someone purchases your design on their platform.  You can check out my full tutorial video on youtube @ (mins john francis) on how to create and sell print on demand products without handling any inventory. 

TikTok live streams.

I’m not a tik-tok fan but I have seen for myself how young people are constantly cashing out big time from just streaming live on the platform.  They make money when their viewers gift them and each of these gifts has a specific amount attached to it.

particularly exploiting the NPC Trend, can bring in donations. Even with fewer followers, this trend’s quirky reactions can attract donations and potentially make your streams go viral. You only need at least 1000 followers to activate the live stream feature.

Curb painting is an inexpensive side hustle, painting house numbers on the street. This emotionally attached service can be pitched door-to-door, charging $20-$25 per curb to start. As a teen you need to pick any of these side hustles and get started with them.

Ai homework. 

I know you’re surprised to hear about my Ai homework  as a side hustle.  Many people find it difficult to solve some homeworks and you can take it upon yourself to assist them and get paid by using tools like chatgpt.

AI homework is an unconventional hustle where you help classmates with their assignments using ChatGPT. This can be profitable, especially with lazy or busy students willing to pay for your assistance. You can do this both offline and online with freelancing platforms like fiverr and upwork.

Become a school tutor.

Becoming a school tutor is a straightforward way to make money, especially if you excel in a particular subject. Schools or parents might pay you $10-$50 per hour for your tutoring services. You can advertise your service as a tutor and get hired for this job.

You can make this an online and offline side hustle by teaching online as well. You can gather your students on WhatsApp group,  Telegram channel or through zoom and teach them while you get paid. Remember before accepting any student in your tutoring group, they must have registered with a certain fee.

Landscaping.

Landscaping is an ideal first hustle for teenagers, offering immediate payment, repeat clients, and low startup costs. As a teenager you can charge less than a professional landscaper, I recommend charging around $40-$70 per lawn.
