2 Quick Ways Teens Make Money With Computers

Want to make some money. Teens make money with computers easily... if they just know what to do.

Why is that?

Teens make money with computers easily for several reasons...

1. Unlike their parents and other business owners, they've never known a time when there weren't computers. They live and breath word processing, graphics, and printing in ways other folks have to learn. That's why teens make money fast with computers.

2. They usually have great reserves of health and energy to combine with their computer skills... I'll get to that in a minute.

3. And not to be overlooked... teens make money in almost any venture because they have extensive social networks in place at high school or college and older folks are usually more than willing to help some young person showing real initiative!

Now, how to make money with that computer. Here are two simple ways.

I'll print more here soon.

Here are some fast ideas...

A. Set up a Business Card Referral Program! (Note: This is a FREE Ebook! Download it for a complete picture.)

Small businesses know that the best way to get new business is through referrals.

What is it worth to a business to get 1,000 new customers walking through their door? To get 1000 customers coming through the door by means of traditional advertising on TV, radio, or newspapers can cost thousands of dollars. And that's just the price of the ads.

If they offer a special discount on a product, there's additional cost involved possibly.

What if you could give a business 1000 new customers walking through their door for $100?

The link above tells you how to set up such a referral program.

Here's an example...

A new sandwich shop could give a free bag of potato chips with every deluxe sandwich and drink.

That special offer is printed on one side of a business card and the customer's name, address, and phone number (and email) are printed on the reverse side of the card. The card must be completely filled out to get the special offer.

You can use your computer to print out all the cards or just the template to take to the print shop.

Another business (or however many you need to distribute 1000 cards) wants to offer these cards as a "free gift" to their customers.

They give out the "free gift card" to their paying customers.

Teens make money by having the sandwich shop pay $100 for the arrangement. (See the ebook for details). You'll probably keep about $75. Not bad for a few minutes!

Once businesses find out you're offering such a simple program, you can sign up one business per week or more. It just depends on how badly you "want it".

Sign up one per week and you're making $300 per month profit.

B. Another way teens make money is through delivering fliers for businesses.

You can make really nice looking fliers for any business in town and have them printed at the local Kinko's or copy shop.

The small business will pay the copying costs and the delivery fee. 5 cents per flyer or $50 per 1000 fliers is common.

The design part is easy.

You'll get lots of repeat business if you can deliver 1000 fliers quickly to the neighborhoods most likely to purchase from your customer.

Most teens just deliver the fliers by walking through the neighborhood dropping them off.

Other teens speed up the process by using roller blades!

Just be sure of one thing... DO NOT PUT FLIERS IN MAIL BOXES! It's illegal. Put them inside the storm door, etc.

(Note: sometimes the print shop will make copies for free if they get to put their ad on the back.)

To make even MORE money for your "flyer route", deliver multiple fliers at one time for several businesses.

That's it for how teens make money with computers for now.

I'll be back with some more information on how teens make money in other ways soon.
