Car Detailing Service
-
If you want to make significant money working from home, you can start a car-detailing business, complete with pick-up and drop-off service to the car owner. This kind of service works best in a small town, where you're more likely to be known by your customers. Serving a customer you already know makes it easier for that customer to trust you to pick up their car and take it in for detailing service.
Selling Items Online
-
The Internet provides you with a seemingly limitless marketplace to sell items. You can find or make items to sell on eBay or Craigslist. You can also set up your own inexpensive website and sell items to friends and other customers. For instance, you can reinvest some of your earnings from time to time; purchase concert or sports tickets and then resell them on an online ticket exchange site for a profit.

Tutoring
-
If you do well in school, you can start your own at-home and online tutoring service. You must have the ability to explain difficult concepts in such a way that other teens can understand them. Using Skype and other online communications media, you can offer your services to one or multiple students at a time. The simplicity of accepting online payments through websites like PayPal can make it easy for you to ensure that payment has been received, prior to offering any instruction.
Cake Decorating
-
If you have a creative side and like to bake, you can take advantage of your parent's kitchen and start a cake-baking and decorating service. This may take some practice, but it's a good way to make several hundred dollars per cake, once you become proficient in the necessary baking and decorating skills needed to create quality cakes. You can network to gain advertising exposure by providing business cards or fliers to the other students at school, who can take them home to their parents.
