Do Your Kids Work With/For You?

16 replies
Hello Warriors:

I'm curious...how many of you have your kids working with you or for you?

Nieces and nephews count too...

Extra Credit: Does your spouse/significant other work with you?

    When ever I hear of some kid selling an app to YAHOO for millions of dollars I have a feeling mom and pop had a little something to do with that.

  • My sister had her son (my nephew) doing odd jobs around her office starting this year. Simple stuff like making coffee, stocking the office pantry, running errands. He's doing it to earn money to buy his games.

    I have a couple of springers and yea we spend time together all the time. Never have to leave them to go work someplace else for someone else. We've participated in a couple of video creations but we have a hard time typing!

    In the process of buying a Domain and putting up a Blog. Gonna Let it age and put a little Content in it here and there and when they are old enough to really Write give it over to them. I figure it may pay off for them when they are blogging in college

    My kids do, sometimes.

    (No extra credit for me, because I have no spouse. )

    My kids, age 13 and 17 have learned along with me for the past several years. They both now have their own blog, youtube channels and a series of Kindle/CreateSpace books.

    We have friendly competitions for making the most money per month. Encouraging my kids to become entrepreneurs is one of the best things I've done.

    I told my nieces and nephew what i do online, and instantly my nephew suggested that i should put videos up on Youtube and "make sales from products that way". That's exactly what he said. He's only 9 years old. Couldn't believe he said that.

    I used to try to get the spouse to help, it didn't work out so well so I stopped that.
