How to make money as a teenager: simple ideas. Modern business ideas for teenagers

For those who drop out of school for entrepreneurship. But young age is an obstacle to legal business. Russian legislators intend to eliminate this barrier. Observers predict a boom in teen business. The creators of successful enterprises advise not to wait for government approval and to start your own business with the support of your parents now.

Stanislav Yagupov

IT entrepreneur, co-founder of the LiveCover studio and the NeuroSender social mailing service:

As a mentor, I communicate a lot with young entrepreneurs from Young Business: most of the “club” members are under 18 years old, which means they started their business a couple of years before they came of age. The adoption of a law can become a psychological trigger: “Dude, are you turning 14? It's time to do business!"

I launched my first project when I was 14-15 years old. At this age and with the small scale of their own business, a teenager, as a rule, is of little interest to regulatory authorities (unless, of course, he is engaged in licensed activities). And if his business grows, he can do business through friends and relatives. But if the law is passed, there will be no need to hide.

The author of the bill, State Duma deputy Andrei Svintsov (LDPR), is convinced of the relevance of his initiative.“A huge number of young people want to do business - they watch TV, they see how in other countries young people achieve some fantastic fortunes, and, in their opinion, having rather modest starting financial and legal opportunities...” - the parliamentarian in a conversation with Inc.

According to Svintsov’s estimates, there are now about a million teenagers in Russia doing business using “black” and “gray” schemes: with cash payments, electronic money or cryptocurrencies, using the legal entities of their parents, friends and acquaintances. “We would like all these people to be able to do legal business. To do this, they can register a bank account,” added the author of the bill.

According to a survey of Russians aged 18 to 54 years old, conducted by Online Market Intelligence and commissioned by Vedomosti, 33% of respondents earned their first money before the age of 14, and 43% - in high school. There are successful entrepreneurs who started their businesses before reaching adulthood. Vsevolod Strakh founded the online store “Sotmarket” at the age of 17 - his mother helped him, and the company was registered in her name. The founder of Svyaznoy, Maxim Nogotkov, took his first steps in business at the age of 14.

Current edition Civil Code The Russian Federation allows only adults over 18 years of age to engage in entrepreneurship. Under certain conditions (if the citizen’s full legal capacity is recognized by the court) - from 16 years of age. An exception is for minors who are married (in some regions of the Russian Federation you can get married at 14 years old).

An eleventh-grader at Tyumen school No. 62, Danil Shusharin, became Russia’s first legal teenage entrepreneur and director of a company with a million-dollar turnover. To do this, he had to go through the emancipation procedure: government agencies recognized him as capable and gave him permission to open legal entity with parental consent. Venture investor Alexander Rumyantsev has already invested in Shusharin’s GrapTil project.

Emancipation is “a long and difficult process,” says Margarita Zobnina, director of the IIDF ecosystem projects department. “So the law will significantly make life easier for young entrepreneurs and help them emerge from the shadows without bureaucratic procedures. This would also be a good signal to teenage entrepreneurs that they are finally being taken seriously,” says Zobnina.

If Svintsov’s project is approved by parliament, Russian legislation will be at the forefront of this issue. According to the Thomson Reuters Practical Law database, in India, Canada, China, South Africa and other countries of the world, you can only head a company from 18 years of age. In the UK, you can legally start a business from the age of 16, but in the US the situation varies from state to state, with some having no age restrictions, such as California. There are also no age restrictions in Bermuda, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia and Japan.

In some countries, due to age restrictions for entrepreneurs, there is an outflow of minor startups abroad. This problem has become worse in Australia, where the government is aware of the problem but has no plans to change the law. According to research project StartupMuster, teenagers make up only 1.3% of the Australian startup community. According to the project's executive director, Monica Wolf, if legislation is liberalized, this figure could increase.

I don’t think this initiative will encourage teenagers to become entrepreneurs. The problem is not administrative barriers, but the lack of an appropriate level of culture and basic attitudes of society.

To main page school curriculum should be included compulsory course on entrepreneurship, cover both the issues of creating a business (especially in the field of IT technologies) and startups, as well as the potential difficulties that young entrepreneurs may encounter.

I would advise young Russians not to wait for the weather by the sea, but to create something new and interesting now. At 14-18 years old, two important factors are at work: lack of financial obligations (thanks to parents) and maximalism.

Russian businessmen and investors agree on the need to lower the entrepreneurial age. Interest in startup culture among teenagers has grown significantly, confirms the founder of the Qiwi payment service, shareholder of Evotor and Run Capital, Andrei Romanenko (he himself came up with his first business back in school, in the 10th grade). “For me, the situation is already becoming commonplace: I came to visit friends and found myself at the pitch of their children’s project. Moreover, presentations can be very confident, quite high level"- says Romanenko in a conversation with Inc. In his opinion, the adoption of the law will simplify life for young businessmen, but they can start their own business now - by convincing their elders and enlisting their support. “My father believed in me a long time ago,” Romanenko added.

Entrepreneurship among Russian teenagers is “extremely common and popular,” confirms general manager and Global Venture Alliance partner Zamir Shukhov. Evidence of this - large number applications received for the GVA TeenStart program for the development of entrepreneurial skills for adolescents aged 12-15 years. “The bill will definitely lower the threshold for access to legal entrepreneurial activity and will bring some teenage businessmen out of the “shadow,” Shukhov believes.

19-year-old Kazan entrepreneur Denis Shelestov (created in school age micro-venture fund "Shelest Ventures") advises peers to act now. “You need to believe in yourself, think adequately and try to do something - everything else will follow,” he says. Shelestov confirmed that now the most difficult thing for teenagers is to register a company or individual entrepreneur. “I had several friends who worked in the shadows because they couldn’t open a checking account and move away from their parents,” he said.

According to 18-year-old entrepreneur Daler Artemenkov from the Tver region (he started making money on social networks while still in school), many teenagers already earn many times more than their parents. “They hide or don’t tell their families what they earn. My good friend this month he “made” 300 thousand rubles (he is 17 years old). His parents think he plays games, and his company already works with top brands,” says Artemenkov. He also advises teenagers to open their own business without waiting for the law to be passed. “You cannot wait in this matter under any circumstances. Just now!” - added the young entrepreneur.

It's no secret that our wishes do not always keep up with our capabilities, and there is not enough money to fulfill all our wishes.

  • This is parental support. This option does not require any effort; you simply ask your parents for a certain amount of money. But this amount is not always enough to purchase the necessary thing, and constantly begging is also shameful, and you can get a refusal at any time.
  • This is trying to make money on your own the required amount. But since we are now talking about minors, not every job is suitable for them. And not many people can figure out what to do and how to make money at the same time. On at the moment There are methods of earning money such as working in virtual world, that is, on the World Wide Web, and work outside the Internet.

But first of all, it must be said that you can get good money if you try yourself as a courier. It must be said that working as a courier is considered the simplest and most uncomplicated way to make money.

Since advertising is the engine of trade, and no business can do without it, many companies resort to the help of young people in delivering and distributing advertisements, for a not very high payment. Teenagers simply carry or stick promotional products on advertising poles, stands. You don’t have to work hard here, and this activity takes little time. This method is suitable for school and college students. But just like in any job, there are difficulties, for example, deterioration weather conditions And Bad mood passers-by

Delivery of goods to a specific address

Often, delivery services that distribute certain goods directly to the customer right to the door of a house or apartment need couriers. And in practice, such couriers become young people from 14 to 18 years old. This is not seasonal work, but year-round. The level of the fee depends on the quality of the work performed. Also, you can agree with your employer on a flexible work schedule, for example, making deliveries either before or after lunch. But the negative aspect of this type of income is that when delivering large items, you will need a certain physical endurance.

Loader and packer

This work is an excellent way to get rid of unnecessary thoughts in your head. It will help you make great money, of course, if you approach the matter with all seriousness and understand yourself, distracting you from depression. For example, for a symbolic reward, help your neighbors move; we think they will not refuse such services. Here you don’t need any experience, you can easily cope with this job. Distribute leaflets stating that you provide this kind of service, and you will see that offers will simply flow like a river.

Performing various tasks

If you don’t know how to make money as a teenager, then our article can answer this question for you. Currently, that segment of the population that is considered wealthy does not want to waste their precious time on doing some small household things. They are ready to pay for it. And then teenagers get great opportunity make money from this. You can go grocery shopping, wash cars, clean, and so on. The main thing here is to advertise your services so that people know about you.

We are organizing the nearby area

This business idea is, of course, suitable for those who live in small settlements and private villages. Often, rich people simply do not have time to take care of their front yard, and they will be happy to use your services for cleaning the area, painting benches, fences, etc. You just look around and find a house with an abandoned area; the owners probably don’t have time to clean it up, so it’s to them that you offer your services. And then you can put up your advertisement on the bulletin board stating that you provide these services.

Help with children

This method of generating income has been developed in Western countries. Unfortunately, in Russian Federation Such services have not yet gained popularity. If a young man likes to spend time with children, why not try himself as a nanny. Surely there are young neighboring families with children, they will be happy to use your services, and they will spend time usefully for themselves (go to the cinema, restaurant). Such services can be provided once or twice a week. Your potential clients will be single mothers who work constantly. Approach this kind of income with all seriousness, because this method requires increased attentiveness and stress resistance from you.

Help with animals

There are pets in almost every home. We enjoy playing with them so much, they make us happy with their presence. And sometimes it happens that we simply do not have time to care for them. Are you a teenager and do you like animals? Then here's another good way to earn some pocket money. You can walk your pets for a fee. Young people from 12 to 16 years old can earn money here. The price for services can be set depending on the area where they will be provided. Be sure to take precautions when walking large dogs: a collar and muzzle.

Trade

Let’s say right away that this method of getting money is not very paid if you get a job with someone. And the risk of cash shortage is also great. Here it is better to open your own mobile counter. Buy goods in large hypermarkets and sell them at low markups.

How can a teenager make money and what kind of business can he start? What do you need to start your own business and how to achieve success? Read in this article.

What is a business?

In general, business is what an entrepreneur does to earn money. It can be either microscopic, like placing an online advertisement, or huge. To begin with, of course, you will have to work with a small business, but this is even better.

The fact is that any business is a game of roulette. The chances of you going broke and losing the amount invested are not much different from those that promise you a decent profit. So small business will be ideal for starting a career as an entrepreneur to learn how to think correctly.

Ways to earn money

So, what kind of business can a teenager start? The Internet offers two ways:

  1. Instant earnings.
  2. Long work.

No matter how attractive the first option is, it should be abandoned. Doesn't happen fast money. All Internet schemes, casinos, gambling and betting are aimed at extracting as much money from you as possible. more money. You invest in such an “instant” business, expecting success... and get nothing in return. The result is a loss of money, time and nerves.

Long work for a teenager is the only option for earning money and development. Remember that everything successful businessmen started with something small that required minimum investment. It was only later that tiny Subway grew into a huge global corporation. Initially, it was just a microscopic eatery.

How to start a business from scratch as a teenager?

Nothing is impossible. A business from scratch is quite possible if you put all your efforts into its development.

You just need to determine what doesn't require investment. Working on a computer or providing some services are perfect. Today there are many ways to earn money without investing a penny!

If your business idea requires investment, then you need to find it. An investor can be either a close relative or a complete stranger who is interested in you. And you can become an investor yourself! But to do this, you will have to postpone the execution of your business idea and earn at least some money.



Start keeping track of your income and expenses. This will help you clearly plan and organize your cash so that in the end there is something to invest in the business. It won’t be fun at all if you spend the money you earn on chips and concerts, forgetting about the initial goal of finding a job!

Steps to success

So, what does it take to start your own business? There are four simple steps:

  1. Determine the target audience. Who needs you? Who will be interested in what you have to offer? Definition target audience should be the first thing you do. A business without customers is doomed to fail.

Why is this necessary? With this ideal plan, you will know what to do next and what to strive for. What is written may be more like a fantasy, over time you will realize that it has nothing to do with reality, or you will complete all the points.



The main thing that such a plan will do is that it will give you motivation and strength to develop further. And to open your own business, just the desire to work and earn money is enough.

Who needs you?

The attitude towards adolescence is twofold. On the one hand, young people are not taken seriously, believing that their childhood is not over yet. On the other hand, they begin to demand from teenagers as from adults.

Such treatment has a very detrimental effect on a teenager’s self-esteem, because it turns out that he only has responsibilities and no rights. This attitude even extends to the opportunity to earn money. The teenager simply does not believe that it is realistic for him to find a source of income before reaching adulthood.

Fortunately, this is not the case. Even small children are able to earn their own ice cream. Some of the most famous business ideas for teenagers include freelancing, working in the service industry, and making money from a hobby.

Internet and freelancing

If you know well foreign language, can type quickly, are ready to learn new information and have good computer skills, then it’s time to register on any freelance server or exchange. There you can find a way to make money on what you already know.



For beginners there is important advice: Start with low-paying orders. The fact is that this way you can avoid getting a lot of negative reviews and get your hands on the requirements of employers. And only then, when you understand the basics of working as a freelancer, you can move on to more expensive orders.

Service sector

What to do if you don't have any business idea? For a teenager work will do in the service sector. This may include:

  • cleaning of premises;
  • work as a nanny;
  • cooking;
  • lawn mowing;
  • car washing;
  • manicure, haircut, massage;
  • assistance with shopping: shopping and delivery of items;
  • walking pets and looking after them in the absence of their owners;
  • tutoring, training in the use of gadgets.

In addition, in the service sector there are many more ways for a teenager to earn money. Just figure out what people need and what you can do for them.

Official work for teenagers

Even work on work book may be necessary if you want your business. How to open your own business for a teenager? Invest in it. Where can you get money if you only have business ideas, but no sources of income?

Official employment is a solution for such situations. In this case, it is important to immediately plan your salary so as not to spend money on unnecessary things. Try to save as much as possible so that you can start your own business as soon as possible.

Hobby or work?

You don't know what business to open for a teenager? Are you not interested in working for others and interacting with people? Do you want to earn money and enjoy your work?



The solution for you is simple: a hobby! And it can become a source of income for you.

To determine whether your hobby is suitable as a business idea for a teenager, you can compare it to ikigai. This Japanese term can be translated as "the meaning of life." If the question concerns any matter, then ikigai says:

  1. It's what you like.
  2. This is what you know how to do.
  3. This is what people and the world need.
  4. This is what you get paid for.

For example, you like to knit winter hats. You do it well. Do people need this if you live in tropical climate where there is no winter? No, you need to look for another hobby to earn money.

But the same situation in Russia will completely pay off due to the cold season. And people will be ready to pay you for beautiful and stylish hats that you won’t be embarrassed to wear even under a fashionable coat.

  2. Advertising and marketing are an important part of any business. You need to know how to attract a client, how to keep him and make him happy so that he returns to you. If you don’t know how to differentiate yourself and your products from others, then you won’t see any profit.
  3. Oratory, rhetoric and persuasion skills you will need not only for the initial development of your business idea. It is extremely important for a teenager to be able to put himself on an equal footing with adults.
  4. And, of course, it is important to develop in the business that you have chosen as your income. Constant development, use the latest techniques and consumables will allow you to be the best among your competitors.
