When you’re 12 years old it’s not easy to make money. And, it’s almost impossible to find anyone who will hire you. Yet there are a lot of 12 year olds out there that want to know how to earn the extra money they need to buy the things they want.

And let’s face it, not every 12 year old is into mowing lawns and baby sitting. I mean come off it. Why is it that as soon as you tell someone that you’re 12 and you want to make money they tell you about things like shoveling snow or walking dogs?! I mean not everyone is into that. Yeah, and maybe you’re not into making friendship bracelets and selling them or writing poems for money either.

So what’s a kid to do? How can you make money at the age of 12? Well one way is by selling things that people want or think they need. Sales is one of those professions that’s been around from the beginning of time. And just about anybody at any age can make money from selling. But how to make money at the age of 12 when you don’t have anything to sell? Well, the answer might be simpler than you think. Because you’re 12, you have to learn to think outside of the box. You have to come up with ideas that are creative and unique.

What To Sell to Make Money at the Age of 12

One idea for products that you can sell and make money from when you’re 12 is by selling digital products such as ebooks that you you’ve purchased for resale. Ebooks are perfect for you to sell if you’re young. The reason is that once you get your hands on a bunch of ebooks that you have the license to resell, you can keep selling them over and over again and never have to replenish your stock – unless you want to.

That’s the beauty of selling digital products. Ebooks and other digital products are stored on the hard drive of your computer. You don’t have to worry about a storefront or storage fees. You don’t have to worry about replenishing your stock and you don’t have to worry about the product going out of style or fashion. AND, on top of that, you can keep selling the same product over and over again and keep 100% of the money you make.

And because the product you’re selling is stored on your computer, you make 100% PURE PROFIT. YIPPEE! How many products can you think of that fits into that category? Not many, I’m sure.

Where to Sell

As mentioned above, once you buy a bunch of ebooks (with resale rights), the next thing you need to do is to market them. And as many people will tell you, when you have something to sell, always start with the people you know. Go ahead! Dont’ be shy. Show people what you have for sale. Tell all your friends at school and your relatives. Send out emails to all the people you know. Practice your sales and marketing skills on the people that are closest to you.

After that, you can expand out a bit. For one thing, you can sell your ebooks at online auction sites. And of course, there are a lot of auction sites other than just ebay.

For this, you can add a link to your ebooks on your myspace page or any other social networking sites that you belong to. Also, if you belong to any online forums, put a link to your ebooks in your signature and start telling people about the great new ebooks that you’re selling. Don’t forget enthusiasm.
