50 Money Making Side Hustles for Teens
Hey, Teen! What's the fastest way to make money as a teenager? The answer is a side hustle. Fortunately, you don’t have to wait till you're over a certain age to earn $$ with side hustles that can easily fit into your teen life — between all the classes, chill sessions, and extracurricular activities. And, most of these side hustles don’t require you to study more, won’t interfere with your social life, and can help you hit any financial goal — maybe even get that car! You’ll leave class loaded with information about how to fill out any legal forms to get the business started, and details about 50 profitable side hustle ideas to get you going fast. Informative handouts for future use are included in class fee. The webinar login information will be emailed the day before class. Students that need to withdraw from the class must do so five business days prior to the start of class for a refund. This course is taught remotely via Zoom.
