Hi all...
I really think it pays huge dividends to encourage (and teach) children to be self-sufficient.
My son, at 14 made $320 in a single day selling used books on Amazon...
Amazon makes it pretty easy to list used books for sale. All I had to show him was where to find the ISBN number in the book, how to grade books and he was off and running.
To make it a little more interesting he and I had a 'contest' to see who could list the most books- in the shortest time.
He won! He listed 14 books in 10 minutes and I only did...well never mind :-(
He went on to list another 40 books that day...and he sold 32 out of the 54 listed with an average profit of about $10 each and made $320!
He, of course was thrilled. Good experience- learning how to make money without a 'boss'..on your own...independant.
I like that too.
