I know I’m a little young on the sub, but im wondering what are some good things to sell in highschool? I’m a young g kid trying to start up a little side gig to make some cash, lately I’ve been getting into things like this and I really would like to learn more, maybe in the future I’ll start a real business!

    When I was in high school something’s that seemed to work:

    I sold energy drinks out of my locker first thing in the morning (vending machines never had them), Gum, and some odds and ends snacks.

    I use to be big in the iPod modding scene (goodness makes me feel old), so I’d offer to install rockbox and doom, or install custom themes from a menu, or charge extra to make them one. Once iPhones came out I’d offer to repair broken iPhones and iPods as long as I could get parts. Kids break their stuff all the time, or use to. I’d also jailbreak their iPhones and iPod Touch(s) this again was back in the glory days 😂. I also went through an A+ certification class so I’d help fix computers and laptops to the best of my ability.

    There were other things through the years, I was handy so I’d offer to find them parts in the salvage yard when I went picking for car parts. Sold a couple belts made out of old seat belts. Kids spend money on stupid stuff should be easy.

    Lean into what’s popular and hot. Look around. I had a friend score selling a couple cases of Star Wars figures and his collection was complete and free.

    In high school, I could see a side hustle selling things like t-shirts, hoodies, and stickers being successful, as long as you can come up with cool designs. Those could be sold online easily, too. Selling candy might work (assuming the school allows it).

    Lawn-mowing services. That was my hustle in high school and I made way more money than all my high school peers at the time

    You’re not too young to start your journey. its freaking cool. Start with what you’re spending your money on and find a way to deliver that in a faster, cheaper, or better way.

    In my town, high schooler sold fattoush (salad) dressing at school. It was his mom’s recipe, and higher Arab population at the school so lots of it sold.

    Depending on where you are and what other kids are into, you can think of something unique like that.
