List of Things For Kids To Sell

Looking to sell? Whether it's online or offline, you don't have to look hard to find items that you can sell and make a profit from.

Look around your bedroom. Do you have any "junk" you want to get rid of (toys, clothes, games, gadgets, ect)? If it's a few items, ask your parents about Ebay. If you have a ton of stuff, think about opening up a garage sale.

If you're looking to invest your money into a product that you can sell to people in your area, check out local stores that sell hot items at cheap prices. Walmart, for example, is a great place to go because you can buy items at *wholesale prices and below wholesale prices. This gives you the awesome opportunity to buy low, sell high, and ultimately earn a nice profit.

Let's face it - schoolwork doesn't come easy for everyone. And parents don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on Sylvan. Maybe you'll find tutoring to be fun and profitable.

Make Money Selling Erasers

Erasers. The kind you buy at the store and stick on the end of your pencil.

They're awesome. Why?

Who knows. It's just one of those things you remember being "all that" from elementary school. And yet...

I still love em'. I'm just weird like that.

Earlier today when I was browsing Books-A-Million (that place gave me *so* many ideas!), I saw a pack of Easter erasers similar to the one that you see in the image to the left. They were selling for $1.99.

My idea is really simple and sure to bring any kid 12- a nice profit to help save up for that great new toy!

How to Make Cash with No Investment Money

Time for Plan B: ask mom and dad.

Oh, but times are rough - mom and dad don't want to give up any of the cash that they worked so hard for to pay for groceries and bills.

Well, looks like it's time for Plan C: open up a flower stand.

I Want Money!!!!!!!

Money. Moolah. Cash. The green stuff. You dream of it...

And you have nightmares about it.

Everyone wants money. It's like a human instinct. We see money and we immediately want it to be ours. For instance: You're standing in line at the grocery store and see the cashier making change for the customer. The cash register is sitting wide open - 5s, 10s, 20s are all stacked neatly inside and you think: Gosh, if all of that money belonged to me... Fill in the blank.

It could be that you really want that new Nintendo everyone's been talking about. Or maybe you're saving up for something bigger. Maybe your 16th birthday is arriving and you've had your eye on a shiny red Mustang convertible.

Hey - a kid can dream, right?
