One of the most common ways to make money with a summer job is to get into the lawn care business. This is a very popular type of summer job. One of the reasons that lawn care is such a popular summer job is that a lawn must be tended to more frequently during summer months. If you build a good list of clients early in the summer, you are sure to stay in work all summer long on a consistent basis. Having this type of summer job requires some basic lawn care equipment, such as a lawn mower, a weed eater, and a rake. If you purchase this equipment in the right places, you will have to spend very little when it comes to the cost of starting this summer job. More than likely, you will make back what you spend within the first week or two if you advertise your business properly.

If you are looking for a less common summer job that can result in profits and costs very little to start, you should consider selling various types of beverages in places where they are not readily available. In the summer months, many people go on camping and fishing trips. You could set up a cooler in these locations and fill them with a lot of ice. You can then place an assortment of beverages such as bottled water and different kinds of sodas in the coolers and sell them. The only start up cost for this type of summer job is the ice, the cooler, a vehicle and gas to fuel that vehicle, and the price of the beverages. You can make up to a 200% profit on these beverages if you sell them in the right locations. You may want to consider selling at local parks, flea markets, and small sporting events as well.

There are many types of summer jobs that you can engage in to make money. It is important to select a summer job that interests you. You can choose to work for someone else in your summer job, or you can choose to start your own business to make money.
