Make $10K As A Teenager - 7 Side Hustles

what's up it's your boy austin rutherford back here again today i bought my first house when i was 19 years old and everybody always asked me how in the world did you buy a house at 19 years old i was able to do this through making money as a teenager i had the money saved through my teenage years to be able to put a down payment on a house when i was 19 years old so i'm gonna give you seven ways that you can make ten thousand dollars as a teenager and five of those ways i've personally made money doing there's always a hustle at the end of the day you can flip couches you can flip shoes you can flip cars you can flip candy there's always a way to make money it's just up to you if that's something you actually want to do or not and if you're an adult watching this make sure you have your kids watch this video and you stick around till the end so i can show you a secret and something that massively helped me that my parents did for me when i was young which i hated at the moment but it was a huge blessing for me in the future so stick around so first thing for me it was cutting grass it was mowing lawns to make ten thousand dollars mowing lawns you need to cut 400 lawns at 25 a pop 25 a lawn means that you have to have 20 lawns for 20 weeks so you got to cut 20 grasses every single week for 20 weeks to make 10 000 that's not that difficult to do but keep in mind if you're cutting that much grass there's probably going to be some times where your friends are out kicking it or they're out on the weekend having a good time or going out and playing basketball or going out and partying well you're gonna have to be working you know that's part of the sacrifice you're gonna have to make you're not gonna have to sacrifice your entire life maybe a few hours on the weekend it's not gonna kill you but it'll set yourself up for the future for myself when i was younger i didn't have 20 50 100 lawns to do i cut five to six loans every week when i was younger but that on top of the other things i want to share with you adds up into a lot of money especially as a teenager and i know if you're sitting there thinking i'm in arizona or i'm in phoenix or i'm in cali and i don't have grass to cut i'm going to get to a lot more ways for you to make money outside of simply cutting grass and speaking of cutting youtube always cuts me off the way that they structure this is that the algorithm works when people like the video so if you could hit the like button for your boy that would be greatly appreciated so i can get some more of this content out to more people another way of making money is flipping candy i know this sounds corny but when i was younger back in middle school and in high school i would go to sam's club i would buy candy in bulk i'd buy a bunch of candy and then i'd go to school and i'd sell the candy and the gum out of my backpack so in class in the hallways i was always selling candy and gum so i actually carried around two backpacks with me one for school and then one was full of money and candy and gum so i actually ended up getting sent to the principal's office for doing this so i walked in i was really tight with my principal at the time he's like are you selling drugs austin i was like no i'm not opened up my book bag i was like i'm selling candy he's like well you need to stop doing that because it looks like you're slinging dope out of your backpack so unfortunately that was my end of the candy era but like i said i did it for probably four or five years when i was younger another way that i made a bunch of money was selling buckeye necklaces so this is more of a niche in our market you know buckeye necklaces is our the ohio state buckeyes the football team so we i would go out and find buckeye necklaces buckeyes put them on necklaces and then go out and sell them so again this is the niche to ohio but every place has a niche you can sell memorabilia you can sell buckeyes and every place has a niche that you can tack on to so like i said i would literally ride down to the neighborhood park where there's a bunch of buckeye trees with backpacks full of buckeyes i'd put them all in my backpack i'd ride home i'd wash all the buckeyes to get the dirt off and then i'd sit there and drill every buckeye everyone took me forever to do this and then i would put them all on a necklace i'd make a buckeye necklace and then i'd go down to the ohio state football basketball games and sell buckeye necklaces to people on the streets for five hours crazy thing is i had a whole assembly line put together when i was younger i would pay my friends one dollar per necklace that they made so they would go down and help me find the buckeyes that would help me drill the buckeyes and they would put the necklaces together with me and i gave them one dollar per necklace and then i'd go out and sell those necklaces for five dollars a piece at the football games so you got to think about this if there's a 12 13 14 15 year old kid running around with 100 buckeye necklaces trying to sell them to people out there tailgating i don't know about you but if i see a kid hustling like that i'm buying 20 50 100 necklaces because i respect the hustle versus them seeing a grown adult go around trying to sell buckeye necklaces they're gonna be like uh you know you should probably go get a job or something but for me as a kid people love to see those things so i was selling buckeye necklaces left and right people were buying buckeye necklaces paying me and then throwing them in the trash can i got my money so that's all that i cared about another area is shoveling driveways i know there's some areas that don't get snow lucky or unlucky for me we were one of the areas that did get snow every single time it was snow or i would see that snow was coming i would get up super early and go out there and start shoveling driveways because you got to think if it's a work day adults are leaving the house to go to work so one you're going to miss them they're not going to be there to say yes shovel my driveway i'll pay you and when they leave they put a bunch of tire marks in the in the snow which makes it more difficult to shovel and all the kids all the other neighborhood kids aren't getting up it's a snow day we don't have school they're not getting until 8 9 10 11 o'clock for me i was up and at it i was trying to get this money another way you can do this to make money is flipping cars or flipping sneakers so i never personally did this but a buddy of mine i was talking to him the other week actually and he said the way that he got into real estate investing is he flipped sneakers and he flipped so many sneakers he made 70 thousand dollars to start investing in real estate think about that 70 grand flipping sneakers i didn't even know that was possible until he told me that last week but again that goes back to learning a niche there's always a niche that you can tackle into flipping sneakers was his niche he became a genius in what sneakers are worth maybe it's video games maybe his memorabilia maybe his t-shirts maybe his hats maybe it's cars whatever it is become a professional in that area and flip things to make a ton of money this kid drove from columbus ohio to dallas texas two days of shoe shows he bought a hundred sneakers drove all the way back and made five to seven grand just off of those sneakers alone that's dedication that's being a master at your craft and loving what you do for an end goal he told me he said my goal was to flip sneakers make a ton of money so i can start investing in real estate so for all you guys in like the desert in phoenix arizona california things like that pool gals pool guys and pool gals that's another way to make money every everybody out there has freaking pools in ohio nobody has pools everybody in those states florida all have pools so they need somebody to take care of the pools i've never done this but i'm sure you can get 20 50 80 pools where you go to on a weekly basis and test the water and add chemicals and sweep up the leaves whatever it is you can do that and you can make money with it and i touched on this earlier but selling memorabilia at sporting events find a way to buy things in bulk hats t-shirts shoes cups whatever it is buy things in bulk that have that logo on it for that sport or that team and then walk around the games at the tailgates and go out there and try and sell things you know buy it in bulk so you get a discount and sell it at retail so you can make money on it last but not least the tech world we live in a world that's all online e-commerce drop shipping tech everybody is online and you can make a ton of money from sitting at your laptop doing pushing a couple keystrokes you can make a ton of money i got an 18 and a 19 year old friend that just bought a mclaren off of amazon drop shipping so there's a ton of money in the tech space and you can literally learn that from sitting at your home on a laptop as you can see there's a ton of ways of making money and being creative and putting money into your pocket as a teenager but i can already hear people saying it well i don't have time well i'm young well i was at this party well i play sports well i run track all these excuses have always been there i was a full-time basketball player i played basketball all day every day i played in school i practiced at night i did all those things but on top of all that i still made time to go out there and make money to do these things to put money in my pocket if i never did those things i never would have been able to buy a house at 19. think about how much farther ahead of the curve i am people buying houses at 30 and 40 i bought one at 19. i just shaved 10 to 20 years off in my life to be able to enjoy 10 to 20 more years of my life with more money so the sacrifices you make when you're young to put money in your pocket can pay off tremendously in the future i never would have been able to buy a house without doing that when i was younger so from flipping things and all those ways of making money and when i started valetine just out of high school i had thirty thousand dollars saved and that's what i used as a down payment for my first house all right i'm gonna give you guys a secret now kids and parents listen up to this when you do start making money as a kid or as a teenager do not do not go out there and blow it on dumb things blow it on bottles blow it on dirt bikes blow it on atvs blow it on you know new honda accord where you think you're you're king dangling at school because you got a new honda accord do not do that i wanted to buy all those things when i was young i wanted airsoft guns i wanted paintball guns i wanted this i wanted that i wanted everything you can think of at the time i was pissed off but luckily when i started making money i had like thousands of dollars in cash sitting in my bedroom i put the pictures i put it behind the picture so nobody could find out where my money was and nobody could steal it so i had thousands of dollars just sitting around all over my house my parents were like hey you need a bank account you need to put this money in the bank i wasn't old enough to have a bank account in my name so my parents opened up a bank account on my behalf and i started putting a bunch of money in there and then it would come around i'd be like man i really need a dirt bike like it's 2500 dirt bike mom dad like i'm buying this dirt bike and they're like okay with what money i'm like what do you mean what money my money money in my bank account and they're like yeah you know i don't think that's a that's a good good way to spend your money right now and i was pissed i hated it because i worked all this time to make all this money and i couldn't even touch my own money i was hurt but looking back if they would have let me blow my money on dumb things like that again i never would have been able to save the amount of money that i did and i never would have would have been able to buy the house that i bought at 19 years old i saved everything i could you know i i did end up driving a chrysler 300 i bought it as a sophomore in high school which again is splurging on something that doesn't need to be splurged on but it was such a great deal i bought the car i drove it for like three or four years and i sold it for the same amount that i bought it for so if you're if you get an opportunity where's the deal of a lifetime where you literally cannot lose money then yes go ahead and do what you need to do and buy what you need to buy but don't go out there and buy a chrysler 300 brand new because you can afford it to be king dangling on campus on your high school campus and then go broke doing that so don't do that if it's an opportunity do it but do not buy things that you're going to lose a ton of money on hopefully this brings some light you know to hustling and actually making money as a kid again adults if you're watching this make sure your kids watch this i promise you it'll change change their mindset you can stack money as a teenager to set yourself up better in life so like i said before if you could hit that like button youtube loves the algorithm hit the like button for me please so i can get more content
