my name is Steve with founder of how to
make money as a kid calm and today I'm
gonna teach you how to buy a brand new
iPhone so how to make money as a kid
calm it's all about helping you you make
money live your dreams so that you can
buy whatever you want including a new
iPhone so this is actually an iPhone
eight I literally just came today and
you're seeing me open it for the first
time unboxing oh there it is brand new
iPhone 8 plus actually pretty excited
about this so how can you as a teenager
afford this especially if your parents
won't buy you one
you're not one of those rich kids let's
talk about five tips for how you can buy
your own iPhone okay so first off how
much do these iPhone scoffs now look
pretty expensive now you can get an
Android phone and I here for a lot
cheaper but I've always kind of liked
iPhone I had one Android back when
smartphones first came out and I hated
it but not to say that there's good
androids do but you could use these same
tactics online an Android phone as well
but so let's talk so the facts an iPhone
aid is basically six hundred and
ninety-nine dollars to seven hundred
ninety nine dollars when iPhone X is
nine hundred and ninety nine dollars or
you could buy an iPhone 7s but basically
five hundred and forty nine to six
ninety nine so that's a lot of money for
a teenager but definitely something that
you can actually achieve and we're gonna
talk about it in five different steps
okay so well there's one idea actually I
buy my phone with the the annual upgrade
Apple upgrade program so I just pay a
payment every month and then I get a new
phone every year because it seems like
after a year or two iPhones starting to
start the battery starts dying problem
started to happen and so you know that
may be an option so instead of looking
at it and saying I got to come up with
$800 you could think I'd only
have to come up with $39 a month now
that's a lot easier than coming up with
you know $800 just all all at once so
that's something to consider definitely
you have to work with your parents on
that it's like a mini loan but it's
definitely something you could do to get
an iPhone okay
so or you can go the cheapo route and
get it refurbished now you can only get
a refurbished right now of like iPhone
6s I don't know why they don't have like
sevens or broken aids but the problem
I'm sure with a refurbished it would
last a long time but iPhone just seemed
to have a limited life so you can
definitely get a refurbished six plus
for $469 and that's definitely a lot
cheaper okay so those are couple options
for actually buying an iPhone but how do
you actually pay for an iPhone
especially because you're gonna also
have to pay for you know the amount of
money that comes out each month to pay
for you know not just the phone but also
the phone bill which could be you know
some phone plans have like you know add
a new line for just 10 bucks a month and
I know some parents have just said yeah
kids just pay 10 bucks a month that's
fine or you can be on a plan like me I
share a plan with some family and we
split it all equally and it's about I
think $36 a month per phone so you're
looking from 10 to about $40 a month
I've just paying for your phone now if
your parents are like yeah you've got to
split this equally and you're gonna have
to pay that then that's cool too I'm
hope the day would do that because then
you actually have to get out and work
start a business and stuff which is kind
of cool so tip number one so you got to
break it down an iPhone buying an iPhone
X 999 dollars that sounds kind of
daunting like I could have make $1000 it
kind of sounds daunting so the first
step is to break it into a smaller goal
say you break it down into over three
months so that's only 333 dollars a
month that's a little sounds a lot nicer
then $900,000 basically so break it into
a smaller goal say I'm gonna work for
three months to save up to buy this
iPhone X and I'll have to make is 333 or
even break it down farther you know
break it down per week basically eighty
three dollars a week or roughly or $11 a
day like how hard would it be for you to
make $11 a day I think that sounds more
doable right and you could buy your own
iPhone X so break it down that's that's
hint or tip number one number two is see
if you can split it with your parents
now what you could do Stace a little
negotiating but I actually did this for
a really expensive pair of skis back
when I was 16 so dad buy me these skis
this will be my Christmas present my
birthday's in February and my birthday
present so I added those two bad boys
together and I think I was able to get
him to pay for a half so that's
basically $800 that's basically like a
new iphone so that was way back in the
day when I was a little young little
lass anyway so stride splitting it with
your parents
they made pay for all of it or may pay
for even a couple hundred dollars it's
going to help you get that iPhone sooner
okay so that's tip number two get your
parents to go in on it with you
and use your birthday negotiation and
Christmas negotiations to to leverage
them to help pay for it to justify them
paying for that so step number three now
this idea is for basically whatever you
have done in the past to make money do
that just more of it okay so I know this
isn't your first time of the rodeo I
know a lot of kids and teens they've
tried different things and maybe they
try to lemonade Sam maybe you tried
babysitting well guess what if you can
just do that more you already know how
to do it and you're already have done it
you feel more comfortable doing that
than something totally new do that more
just try it out a little more
figure it out because if you can get a
couple more babysitting jobs or
something like that it's gonna be a lot
faster as a learning curve and the
amount to reach your goals gonna be a
lot easier so do what you've already
done in the past to make money
okay now hint number four so we're going
to talk about some ideas so this is
actually gonna branch out to a bunch of
ideas I actually have a bunch more ideas
for how you can make enough money to buy
your own iPhone X iPhone 8 like on seven
whatever it is so first get an
after-school job
and if you do get an after-school job
make sure to get a job where you can get
tips because most the time as a teenager
you're gonna get minimum wage which
seven dollars to ten maybe fifteen
dollars depending on where you live an
hour that's not that great of money but
if you can get a job where you get tips
you can make a lot more money my nephews
they they actually watch car set a
really nice car wash and they get tons
and tons of tips and they really make a
lot of money as teenagers my brother
just got a job delivering pizzas for
Domino's and he's making like seventy to
ninety dollars a night so and well not I
mean just working a few hours so those
tips really add up and they make it so
you can make a lot more money than if
you worked like a normal just a normal I
already job so that's my recommendation
and there'll be links in the
descriptions for kind of where you can
go for all these ideas I've got you know
how you can find a job super fast if
that's the way you want to go just links
in the description below for help you
out with that
so get a job the next one is to hustle
now hustling that's where these are like
the traditional ideas of like
babysitting mowing lawns raking leaves
shoveling snow in the wintertime you can
hustle your neighborhood you know those
neighbors that you know family friends
that kind of thing and earn money say
hey I'm trying to earn enough
to buy my own iPhone and what can I do
you turn somebody gotta help shale snow
can I have more your lawn
whatever whatever maybe Dionne I babysit
all those ideas now I want to share with
you a little golden nugget okay so one
golden nugget is kids club so basically
it's like babysitting on steroids so
kids club is basically where instead of
babysitting one family's kids you
babysit a bunch of families kids all at
once at your house so that way you can
make a lot more money than just like you
know five to ten dollars an hour
babysitting a bunch of kids you could
make upwards of you know twenty to
thirty dollars an hour
babysitting like ten kids so basically
you do is I already actually even try
this out with a friend you know try to
get all the family to come over like on
a Friday night set the hours almost
treat it like you would treat like a
summer camp kind of thing have like
activities so the kids are always doing
something fun like a preschool kind of
something like that but it will give the
parents of time to get away to do their
you know their date night that kind of
thing so kids club that's a that's a
great idea for hustling making some
money faster than than some of these
traditional ideas okay number three now
this is something that I think is like
the coolest idea ever but a lot of you
already have social followings so you
already have Pinterest occurring on
Pinterest you probably have Instagram
accounts or YouTube channels possibly or
just a lot of these different social
media things you might have a Facebook
page your snapchat or whatever you can
actually sign up for affiliate links so
affiliate links is where you make money
selling other people's products and you
can literally sell any product there is
so whether it's anything from Walmart
Target Amazon books anything like that
you can sell it so if you know that
there's kind of a fun thing your name
your
with love like the newest bracelet or
the newest digit spinner which I know if
it just fenders aren't cool anymore but
the next you know the next thing right
so you could actually post to your
friends on your following you know I
know some kids that have over 2000
Instagram followers and there it's not
like a business or anything you can make
money from that I mean you may not make
a lot but you definitely know what kind
of stuff that those what your friends
would want to buy so you know do like a
little brandy like you see you know
other businesses doing and other social
media influencers so that's another idea
the next idea is to start online
business now this is not gonna be
something fast a fast way to make money
like starting a website starting YouTube
channel an Instagram account it's gonna
take time but in the long run you're
gonna be able to make money every month
that can help pay for that that phone
that's how I pay for my phone bills is
doing these YouTube videos and you know
my website how to make money as a kid
calm and some other things but that
that's how I pay for my phone bills is
by having an online business so think a
little bit more long-term and you can
come up some ways to make make some more
money long-term okay and then the last
last one of these ideas is to work with
your parents a lot of your parents have
jobs where you could help them do what
they do and maybe they can you know pay
you something or you know it's a lot
better than like asking for chores
around the house which is a good idea
but it's gonna be hard to come up with a
thousand dollars or your parents to
justify paying a thousand dollars for
doing chores around the house so see if
there's a way that you can help them in
their business whether that's you know
they're they have a job and you can do
some secretarial work or or whatever I'm
sure there's something annoying their
parents don't like doing with their job
that you could probably do better than
they can do so get them to pay you to do
that make their lives easier and it's a
win-win for both of you so anyway hope
