Kid Cash

Part of a series written by teens and preteens specifically for other kids, "Kid Cash" is packed with ways for kids to get some valuable experience in the working world. From conventional jobs like babysitting, lawn mowing, and snow shovelling, to more professional endeavours such as seasonal decorating and providing computer services, 14 year-old Joe Lamancusa tells his peers all about dozens of money-making enterprises for kids over 8. A budding entrepreneur and thriving businesskid, Lamancusa looks at each idea separately, providing a job description, job qualifications (very few, in most cases), estimated startup costs, target customers, tips for success, and suggested fees. He also offers general advice on topics that are important to the success of all businesses, like to how keep good records, determine acceptable levels of profit, and advertize and promote services.
