Kids: Adult schemes are easier!

I was just wondering if you had any ideas to make easy Internet money for children. I have been searching, and all of the searches i have found either cost hundreds of dollars to start, or are free, and you cant actually download them.Please post or reply, or do something to help. And yes, I did consider a blog, but what to blog about?

Lot's of people have Anonymous for a name nowadays! Anyways:

There isn't anything!
The Internet isn't the safest place for kids. Anything an adult can do though, they can too. So if you want an Internet business, do the same thing adults do: Make a proxy, turnkey, or anything else like that, make a bunch, and stick ads on them. But blogs are still better.

Printer Payday

Here is a fun and easy way for kids to make money.
I'm in an advanced class, which means we have lots of major projects, meaning a heck of a lot of homework. But my friend, M*****w, has an AMAZING colour printer. And I mean, like, Kinkos kind of pictures.
Now, all the kids in my class want a good mark, and he realized they'd be willing to pay, so he now has this picture printing business. But that means I have to pay too....
But it shows that if you have a product and people want it, you can really cash in on it. I mean, he hardly has to do any work for the money!
I need a printer like that....

Frugal vs Friendship Necklaces

Sorry I have not been able to post lately. I have been on the verge of death ( just kidding) and could not lift the laptop without needing to lie down, but I am feeling better now. So without further ado, I will type the rest!

Dear Mr. Munnybagz,

My wife and I have always talked about money with our two kids. Our son, 13, is quite good at managing his money. He chooses to bank everything he gets. Our 10-year-old daughter, however, tends to spend whatever she has on things like extra milk, pencil grips, and friendship necklaces. Do you have any tips for us? How can we teach our daughter to be more frugal?
Sincere regards,
A Concerned Father

Dear A.C.F,
How many pencil grips does one need? Anyways, this is a very easy problem to solve. If she's going to continue to waste money like that, you can put her allowance somewhere safe so she can't spend it. And explain to her that if she continues to spend money like that, she'll have tough times later in life. Also, give her more milk at dinner so she's not as thirsty... And one final piece of advice: if she really wants to buy those things, let her. After all, she's only 10. Not many kids have any money sense at all at that age. So she will learn when the time is right.
So until next time, wait until next time!

Lemonade Stand? Sour and Bland!

Never, ever, ever, set up a lemonade stand. It is a waste of time, and takes way too much effort. That is it, simply put, but here are some numbers to support my theory. Let’s say the day before I set up the stand, I go shopping for half an hour. The next day it takes me half an hour to set up the stand. For this part, I will use a record of one of my actual stands that I set up.

So far I’ve already spent an hour working on it, and I’ve spent 8 dollars and 35 cents on supplies. Then I sit there for 7 hours and I only make 14 dollars and 50 cents. Minus my expenses and charity, I earn an amazing 3 dollars and 15 cents! Instead of going through all that trouble, I could have just washed my mom’s car and made 5 bucks in half an hour! That’s making over 10 times what I was per hour on the lemonade stand!

So if you really want money, make sure you check all options such as raking, mowing, washing cars or absolutely anything before you open up a lemonade stand. I can make that much money in 10 minutes by rubbing my mom’s back!

Kids- Earn up to 17 Dollars a Week in Allowance!

Hi there! I just made a power-point presentation to my allowance-givers, requesting that I get a raise from 5 dollars a week to an amazing 12 dollars a week! Pshh, you say. But they almost agreed! They’re still thinking about it though… It just required a little planning and a lot of know-how. Here are some extreme factors that you should use in your allowance pitch. Look around you at other kids allowances and see what chores they have to do to get it and what expenses they have to cover (buy there own presents and toys, or maybe their own clothes).

But remember, when talking about what other kids got, only use people who get a better deal than you! (VERY important) The new “hip” thing is to get an allowance that’s equal to your age. I can vouch for that that, along with my behind-the-scene buddy, Michael, and all his pals, except for the ones who get way more than that. And when asking for a raise, shoot higher than you want, and slowly work your way down. But it’s always nice if you get more than you want, too! Act professional, as in I did a power point presentation after doing a lot of research. Plan out what you’re going to do with your money. My friend said he’d bank 7 dollars a week and save 5 for expenditures. Also, it’s good to make a contract, so that way you’re parents can’t get out of it. But the MOST important thing to remember… DON’T SHOW THIS TO YOUR PARENTS!!!
