Jobs for 16 Year Olds Selling Jewelry

There are jobs for 16 year olds selling jewelry. This is what I do to make money and I love it. You don't even have to know how to make it yourself.

What I do is go to the wholesale district in Manhattan and I purchase the jewelry in bulk up front. I started this business up with my birthday money last summer. The more you buy the greater discount you get from them.

I buy things I know the girls and guys in my school and around my neighborhood would like. Glitter belts, rhinestone belts and chains, big hoop earring, fake diamond rings, hairpieces, anklets, belly rings, tongue rings, you name it. Then I mark up the price by 25 to 50%, depending on what my customers are willing to pay. You really have to feel that part out with trial and error.

I absolutely love being my own business woman and owner at the age of sixteen. I can make well over $200 a week when school is in, but I do have to work a little harder at it during the summer. But get yourself some business cards and pass on a discount to your big order customers and word of mouth will help grow your business.

I don't know how well this will work once I finish high school, but right now this is the best job for a 16 year old that I can think of.
