Earning Money in the Summer

For many of us, the summer seems like all we are obligated to do, is too lay in the warm sand, go surfing, get a tan, or go shopping. That seems pretty fun (maybe not the shopping) but most of these activites need money to fuel them. For example, surfing is expensive, you need wax, a board, a leash, a wetsuit, and to top it off, a board! none of those things are cheap. You need to get some money, and as you learned in my earlier post, money takes work to get. The summer is the oppertune time to earn some money.
There are many ways to earn money in the summer. You could mow peoples lawns, you could do chores for your parents, you could get a job. most of those suggestions would be pretty flexible, and you could do them when you wanted too. But getting a job would take up a lot of time, and you would probally get the most money out of it. A tip that i have is, get a job that you can walk too. Your parents probally wouldnt want to drive you everyday, and bus tickets would add up a lot, if you have a car, then you would be using a lot of gas. The best idea is to get a job that you can walk too.
There are a few other options that are aviable that would have very flexible hours. One is taking online surveys. Most surveys are just for adults, but i found a few that are for teens http://www.online-paid-surveys.net/teen-surveys.htm
another idea is too start a blog. Blogging is not easy, as i am learning. It takes a long time to figure out how to work, and it can get dull very easily. The trick is to write something that you know a lot about, and that your passionite about. Making money from blogging takes a long time, you get money for however many times people click on the links and advertisments. Its a lot of fun if you like what your writing about, and if your passionite about it.
