Social media manager;

In today's modern-day in which we see ourselves, everybody is on social media, but not everyone is good with the ins and outs. This is where there is an opening for your teenager to make the most out of this opportunity. 

Small businesses who want to have a social media presence that will help them make more sales and have more exposure can become easy clients for you if you know your way around social media.

Learn Canva.com, a free, easy-to-use graphic design software to help you create outstanding graphics for your work.

According to Payscale.com, an average social media manager earns about $53,000 annually.


Creating and selling NFTs;

 In short, NFT means Non Fungible Tokens, which are digital content that can be bought and sold on the internet.

NFTs are unique and can't be replaced. They are one-of-a-kind digital arts, so that, in a way, makes them special.

Creating digital art is not that difficult, but if you are willing to put in the time and effort to learn, it will become very easy for you in no time.

Recently, a 12-year-old, Nyla Hayes, just made over $1.2 million from just selling her NFTs and there are a lot of others also making millions from this business.


Blogging; This is one of my favorite way of earning online, which I always talk about whenever I get the opportunity to because this is one of the most accessible online jobs just anyone can do. 

Since writing is one of the essential training almost every child who attends school learns, they can quickly start writing blogs and posting them online.

To become very good at this, teenagers should be encouraged to learn some essential SEO tips to help their content rank very well on search engines.

According to indeed jobs, the average salary a blogger earns is $37,000/year.

Become Twitch Streamer

How about turning their hobbies into a business? Yes, if your teenager loves playing video games and is very significant at it, he can earn a lot of money from that.

How? Twitch is simply a game streaming platform purposely created for gamers to share their gaming content.

Though building a following takes time on the platform, like any other social media platform, it eventually does pay off.

A twitch streamer can earn money in various ways; donations, affiliate marketing, ads, and brand partnership are just one of the few ways a teenager can make money online.

On average, a Twitch streamer can earn from $3,000/month and above.

Digital marketing;

I couldn't end this article without highlighting this highly sought-after expertise.

Though there are some similarities between this and social media marketing, they are distinct, or we might say they constitute a more extensive umbrella under which social media marketing fits.

Simply put, digital marketing is the promotion of brands or enterprises on the internet to interact with customers and make sales.

These include email marketing, web advertising, and a lot more.

Your teen can acquire admission to a free online course in Google Garage to receive accredited training in these abilities.

I hope these tips can help your teenagers make the best out of their lives.
