Have you ever thought about setting up your own snack shop? You can sell drinks, snacks, candy, etc. The best way to do this is to find a great place to set up your snack shop. If you are in a busy neighborhood, it might be a great idea to have a grander house. If not, you will need to find a better place. Of course, talk with your parents and have them find out if it is okay to have your snack shop at a park or other busy place.

For example, let’s say you decide to set up shop at a park where there is a lot of athletes that exercise and run. They are going to want a snack shop with soda, candy, chips, but instead you can sell things like water, sports drinks, sports fuel, fruit, etc. When they need a little extra something, they will come to you.  If you decide to set up a snack shop where there a lot of kids in families, you might be able to sell more fun things like sodas, teas, chips, candy, fruit, pretzels, popcorn, etc.

Cash in

Do you and your family drink a lot of soda? If so, you must have a lot of soda cans left over. Soda bottles and soda cans can be cashed in for money in almost every state. Collect your cans and bottles and collect cans and bottles with friends, family, and neighbors. It did seem like quite a bit of work for such a small amount, usually five cents per can, but with enough bottles, this can really add up.

You can also cash in any change you find. Check your couches, watch where you walk outside and in stores, and ask people for spare change it they don’t really want. Cash it in at a coin counting machine and you would be surprised how much money it will add up to.

Be Different

If none of these ideas catch your attention, be different and creative. Do you see something that you think other people would want to buy or pay for? Do you see need? Try to fill that need and supply that service or product. If people really wanted, they will pay for it. It can also be fun to start up your own business.
