Just because you are in middle school, that doesn't mean you don't already have specialized skills to offer. With some creative thinking, you might discover you already have a skill you can profit from. Write down a list of your skills, hobbies, or interests. Maybe you are an aspiring barber, enjoy fixing broken electronics, are great at taking photos, or like to code in your spare time. Even activities that you consider to be hobbies, such as using Photoshop to edit your photos, could be a service people are willing to pay you for. If you are feeling stuck, go and ask a parent or someone else who knows you well. They might surprise you by pointing out a skill you didn't even notice you had. A lot of skills you might take for granted, such as the ability to navigate the Internet and other programs such as Word and Photoshop, are actually very difficult for older people to pick up on. You could offer to help older people learn how to use their computers more effectively or how to use certain programs for an hourly fee. Did you know that there are professional organizers, who work to clean or organize homes, office spaces, and more? If you are a neat and detail-oriented person, de-cluttering other people's living spaces could be a perfect side job. If photography is a hobby of yours, you could offer to be an official photographer for a birthday party, wedding, or other kind of celebration. Many people hire photographers for special events and pay well for it too. If you know any professional photographers, ask them to take you along on their next photo shoot so you can watch and learn. If you know how to make logos or fliers, these are great skills you could offer to help out a local business. Don't be afraid to walk into a store and ask to talk to the manager. Be sure to emphasize what specific skills you could offer to help their business grow. Maybe you have a specific interest but know that you don't have the necessary experience to find work in that area quite yet. A paid internship could be a great opportunity because, not only will you earn money, but you will also be getting paid to learn about your passion and gain valuable work experience. Ask at your school, local businesses, or online to find internships. For example, if you're interested in botany, you could try visiting different florists, botanical gardens, and the like to see if they would be willing to take on an intern. Did you grow up speaking two or more languages? If so, you've already got an incredible skill others have to spend years learning. You might be surprised to learn how many people need help translating bills and other documents or even in everyday conversations. Again, word of mouth can work wonders along with hanging up fliers and advertising online. Once you have found someone interested in your service, negotiate a fair rate. Ask around or check online to find out what the average going rates are. If you are just starting out, you may want to charge less in the beginning. Getting exposure and experience are more important at the beginning stage. Once you have a satisfied customer base, you can start charging more for your services. Once you start getting clients, ask them for testimonials or if they would be willing to serve as references. As a middle schooler, you may run into people who doubt your abilities because you are young. Having references will be extremely useful as they prove that you are serious about your work. The more experience you have, the bigger your network of clients will get and eventually you may even start getting people coming to ask you for your services.

Summary: Brainstorm what your skills are. Help older people with technology. Offer to clean or organize. Become an event photographer. Offer to help advertise for a local business. Find an internship. Work as a translator. Advertise your skills. Start working. Ask for referrals.

. Twitter allows you to post whenever you release new content. Twitter is one of the most important new tools for keeping readers informed. Post your headline and a shortened URL to the article for each new post on your site. Social media is where your readers spend the majority of their time while online. Make sure that all of your content is getting pushed to your related social media pages. Create Facebook and Google+ pages. This will let you easily share your new content with anyone that is a fan of your page. Links from social media sites generally do not help your page ranking, but they do help build viewers. This will eventually lead to a higher page rank as viewers start linking to your site on their own. . RSS feeds allow readers to add your site to their reader, which will update them whenever you publish new content. You can also submit your RSS feed to directories to help draw in new viewers. . YouTube is an incredibly popular site, and if your content lends itself to videos (How-To, reviews, etc.), you should consider creating a YouTube channel. Create and upload videos that enhance your content, and include links to your site in the video's description and annotations. . Create a newsletter that you can send out to a mailing list of your viewers. If you have an account creation system, have new users automatically opted in to your mailing list. Press releases let others know about new developments on your site and allow other websites to easily share this news with their readers. Write press releases for your website's launch and submit them to relevant outlets. StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit, Slashdot, and others are a great way to get your articles in front of more potential viewers. Like social network sites, they often won't have a large impact on your ranking right away, but they will eventually lead to more traffic for your site. . If you have the money to spend, consider purchasing some ad space. You'll need a good design for your ad, as well as a good target for the campaign. Ads can reach a lot of people and can result in a big increase in traffic.
