Gone are the days when kids had to depend upon lemonaide stands or girl scout cookies to make money for extra expenses!

Making money online nowadays via methodical blogging approach is so easy, a kid can do it. And of course, having made that bold statement, I need to back it up as well!

Kids and making money onlineThus, today began my kids’ “make money online” experiment. After discussing with her how one approaches blogging and monetizing, I told her to hit on a specific theme about which she thinks she could write at least one post a day. This theme turned out to be The Sims (that virtual reality thingee game thingee video thingee that is actually hugely popular).

So! The domain has been bought and she is now figuring how to use WordPress. I’ll post updates as they occur – she needs to learn and internalize:

  • How to monetize the theme
  • What plugins to add for spam proofing
  • How to find targeted niche eBay/Amazon.com items she can include
  • Where to find Sims blogs
  • How to install Commentluv and other useful WP plugins
  • Methodical ways to comment and network

Should be interesting! Will she go from being a diamond in the rough to being a self-made millionaire? Time will tell!

Enjoy,

Barbara

If you get a chance take a look at Jack Humphrey’s Authority Black Book as it is a powerful read on monetizing your blog. Drop us an email and we will send it to you.

One last thing, we have come across a new marketing system that is free to join and has been giving us a daily average return on investment of 1% daily of our advertising dollars.

Thanks for visiting my blog and enjoying our new puppy!!

Good advice for the kids. I know that the same works for adults as well. There are times when I simply cannot get a single post out. That costs in traffic and readers every time it happens. Yes, we do need to stick to it and post every day!! Very important.

Thank you again!

The skills you are teaching your daughter are invaluable! I think it’s so important to teach our kids to be self-sufficient and in control of their own financial well-being. I’ll be featuring kids that are blogging on our website and would love to see her progress!

Nice article. If only a young entrepreneur curriculum could be integrated into schools.

I love the idea of children exploring entrepreneurship at an early age. Couple that with a residual benefit and who knows the earning potential of each child as the years pass.

Please follow-up the story with a progress report and I’ll be sure and retweet it.

Nice idea! If she wants to make some real money, I would advise checking out SEO!

As far as monetizing a Sims site, how about affiliate sales of the game?

I am trying a similar thing with my Ways for kids to get money blog!

Man I don’t think kids would know what to do without the internet today. So many people earn at least part time income from it, would be hard to image a world without it now.
