What kind of part-time job should a junior high student take? There are many part time jobs for middle school students. But my answer to this question is that if you're not in a rush to make money, you can start by learning a skill. For example, photo editing, video editing, or programming. With one of these skills, you'll have more ways to make money. Start by finding orders on Fiver and creating images, videos, or programs for clients. As you do more and gain experience, your speed will improve, and your reputation in the industry will grow. More people will come to you, and you'll earn more.

When tasks become too overwhelming for you to handle alone, you can form a team. At this point, you can step away from the tasks and delegate them to your team. You simply focus on ensuring they're completed on time and with the highest quality.

Of course, this is just my proposed route, and it's not the perfect one. However, there's no such thing as perfect; there's always better, never the best. Next, I'll share a few successful cases of junior high students, which can be found online.

Danny earned one million yuan at the age of 15. How did he do it? It all started when he was 12 years old. He saw someone on YouTube teaching how to create a logo in just five minutes, and it struck him that he could make money making logos for others. He watched a lot of design videos, but without the basics, it was difficult for him to design for others. Most people would have given up at this point, but he didn't. He started sending private messages to people on X, then finding people to design on Lancher. In just a few weeks, he made $100 as a middleman. This made him feel the joy of making money. But then he thought, if he could make so much money just as a middleman, wouldn't he be able to make even more if he had the skills? So, he temporarily gave up his job as a middleman and began studying video editing, a skill he enjoyed. When a hobby can bring us good returns, we are more willing to invest our time and energy. Danny wanted to make more money from his hobby. After a few months of learning, he started sending private messages to people on X, asking for video editing jobs. After his tireless efforts and hundreds of private messages, he finally reaped the rewards. Someone asked him to make a video.

At this point, many people were undoubtedly dreaming of making money. However, Danny told them he would edit videos for free. Not only for this first client, but for all the commissions he received in the following months.

Why did he offer it for free? Danny was actually quite clever. He had no fame or experience, so it wasn't the right time to make money. The experience of making videos for free over the past few months gave him a lot of experience and boosted his fame. So, he started charging, and his fees kept rising, sometimes reaching thousands of dollars per video.

As you can see, having a skill can earn you more than working part-time after school. Danny's story didn't end there. He used his skills to create gaming videos on YouTube.

During this time, he met his first benefactor. This benefactor taught Danny how to run an account. In exchange, Danny would give this benefactor a portion of his video revenue.

The two sides worked well together, and Danny began to earn money from his videos. Using the operational skills he learned, his account rapidly grew, quickly surpassing one million followers. This enabled him to transfer $1 million by the age of 15.

But Danny didn't stop there. Later, he met his second and third benefactors, who helped him along the way. At 17, he opened his own company, earning $600,000 in revenue in his first month.

Through Danny's experience, it's clear that while he initially made money as an agent, if he had been content with his current situation and hadn't learned video editing, he wouldn't have achieved his subsequent success. This demonstrates the importance of a skill.

Even now, with nothing, as long as he knows video editing, he can still make a comeback.

Let's introduce ishowspeed, the internet celebrity with over 30 million followers on YouTube. Although he's only 20 years old this year, he already made $1 million by the age of 17. So how did Speed achieve this success?

He started out as a gaming streamer, primarily playing NBA2K. However, he initially had very few followers. It wasn't until he lost a game and broke down in tears that many people began to like him.

He capitalized on this trait, displaying sudden mood swings during live streams, or even imitating a dog bark for no apparent reason. His followers skyrocketed, and he earned even more money.

Speed had mastered the art of live streaming. He knew exactly what actions and expressions to make his audience want to watch. He leveraged these techniques to achieve excellent returns.

Another woman, Jenny Hoyos, also learned a technique. She learned how to shoot short videos. In her videos, she constantly creates unexpected situations to keep viewers coming back. And what are the results? Don't underestimate these unexpected elements; they're the key to Jenny Hoyos's success. They pique viewers' curiosity and keep them coming back. Each of her videos garners over 10 million views. With that kind of traffic, how could she not make money?

See? All three of the above individuals learned a skill and then used it to make money. If you were just working after school, you'd have already seen the end from the moment you started. Because your hourly salary is fixed, and you know exactly how much you'll be paid after each hour you work. How can you possibly earn more money with a predictable job like this? So, friends, make good use of your after-school time to learn a skill you enjoy. This might be the skill you need to survive.
