Business Ideas for Kids: Paper Route

I think that a paper route is a perfect way for a child to learn responsibility, business skills, and make some money.

I had a paper route when I was a kid and it laid the foundation for my future business success.

Children who are interested in getting a paper route should talk with their parents about it, and if appropriate to move forward, approach the local newspaper companies to apply to work.

Knoxvillebusiness.com note: this may be a job for older kids - those who are driving age - as most newspapers no longer hire people who cannot drive.

But don't take our word for that - if you and your parents like this idea, call your local paper and ask!
