Great Summer Activity for your Kids !

My kids are too young for any real job, but we wanted to give them a chance to make a little bit of money while keeping their school skills honed over the sumer.

Here’s what we came up with…. Helped them make a Blog and each day that they post to it they can earn 2 dollars.  Not a lot of money, but also not a ton of work for them to do.

The benefit to them – they get a bit of money that can add up over a couple months.  They also earn it, so they are a bit more discerning about how they spend it.

The benefit to the parents ( and to the kids to but they don’t consider it a benefit)  -  They keep their writing and reading and creative skills in practice.  Already after just a couple days they are doing very well and slamming out their blog entry in very little time.

Blogs are serious business in the world today,  My kids are getting introduced to them and seeing that they can be used to make money.

It works for Seth Godin and many others…… it could work for them someday soon! If it doesn’t at least a couple of the 3 r’s are still being practiced.

Here are their blogs if you want to take a look;
