For teenagers interested in the written word, not only does this give them entrepreneurial income, it also gets their work enough exposure from an early age.
Handicrafts:-
With access to free selling platforms such as Etsy and eBay, teenagers who are creative enough can get started on their entrepreneurial journey with just enough capital to spend at a hobby store. With Indian and other handicrafts coming back in fashion, practically anything from hand-embroidered fabrics and crochet to knitting and paper and clay jewellery will find buyers, as long as it is done well.
Indian culture of monthly allowances never really caught on, though entrepreneurship surely did. As long as you can manage your academics and extracurricular activities with your entrepreneurial journey, not only will these ideas bring extra spending money, they will also expose you to the world of capital, income, and running a profitable business early on.
