Not Another Subscription?! Why This One Actually Pays Parents Back

Let’s be honest.
We’re all living in Subscription Nation.

There’s a charge for every corner of life now.
TV? Netflix, Disney+, Hulu.
Groceries? HelloFresh.
Dog? BarkBox.
Dog’s DNA? Yep, even that.

Your inbox is filled with receipts for stuff you forgot you signed up for.
And now… here comes Minor Chores.

“Not another subscription!” you groan.
We hear you.
We feel you.

But hear us out — this one’s different. Like, actually different.

One subscription closer to your kid moving out (financially secure).

💼 This Is the Only Subscription That Comes With a CEO Title

Minor Chores is the subscription where your kid becomes the boss.

They’re not just earning money by doing chores — they’re:

  • Setting prices

  • Learning to negotiate

  • Managing their time and cash

  • Delivering services to real customers (ahem, you)

It’s real-life business training, disguised as a household helper.
And yes, your kitchen gets cleaned too.

📈 The ROI is Real (and Way Better Than That Mystery Snack Box)

Let’s do the math:

  • Monthly cost: $5-10

  • Kid mows 2 lawns/week at $10 each

  • Total monthly revenue: $80

  • Profit after “overhead” (aka your subscription): $70.01

Boom. Your child just out-earned their Netflix binge.

Now imagine what that does for their confidence, their independence — and your weekends.

🧠 It’s What School Doesn’t Teach

Minor Chores is designed to teach kids everything they don’t learn in traditional education:

  • How to pitch themselves

  • How to save, spend, and give responsibly

  • How to stick with something when it gets hard

These are not just chores.
They’re lessons in entrepreneurship, grit, and real-world skills that last long after the dishes are done.

💬 Don’t Take Our Word For It — Here’s What Actually Happens

“Trash day became payday.”
My 13-year-old realized our neighborhood's trash pickup happened every Thursday morning. By 10 a.m., he was using the broadcast SMS feature to text everyone on his customer list:
‘Hey [First Name]! Just saw the trucks roll by. Want your bins scrubbed before the Florida sun bakes them? I’ve got openings this afternoon!’
He booked out in 15 minutes.
— Carla, parent of a minor cleaning mogul


“She had 10 customers before the first chore.”
After we created her account, the app instantly generated a personalized website with all her pricing and services. She handed out the auto-created flyer — with a QR code straight to her site — around the neighborhood.
Ten people signed up on day one.
And because they each picked which chores they wanted help with during sign-up, her Customer List showed exactly what they needed — yard work, dog walking, plant care.
She now sends targeted texts whenever school breaks or holidays roll around.
— Marcus, dad of a 12-year-old chore-preneur


“The website was live before we finished breakfast.”
I helped my son sign up before school. Two minutes later, his clean, professional website was ready with photos, pricing, services, a “Book Now” button — the whole deal.
He shared the link on our community Facebook page.
By the time he got home, he had two bookings and three more customers in his CRM ready to outsource weekly lawn care.
— Jen, mom of a kid who's now busier than she is


🛠 These Stories Aren’t Just Cute. They’re Powered by Real Features:

  • 📲 Broadcast Messages via SMS
    Kids can send text message blasts to all the customers on their list — instantly promoting timely services like trash can cleaning after pickup day or offering vacation plant care. It’s direct, effective, and lands right in the customer’s messages app.

  • 📇 Smart Customer List (CRM)
    When a customer signs up on a kid’s website and fills out their profile, the app automatically adds them to the kid’s Customer List. It even shows exactly which services the customer wants to outsource, so kids can follow up with offers that actually match their needs.

  • 🌐 Instant Website (Auto-Generated)
    No building required. Within two minutes of parent onboarding, the system automatically generates a polished website for the kid — complete with a custom link, professional design, a service menu, pricing, photos, reviews, and a “Book Now” button that makes it easy for customers to hire them.

  • 📄 Auto-Created Marketing Flyers with QR Codes
    Kids can print a professional flyer that’s automatically generated from their website. It includes their pricing, services, and a QR code that sends potential customers directly to their booking page — no design skills needed.

🚀 Final Thought: Raise the Kid Who Starts the Business

Sure, there are a lot of subscriptions out there.

But only one turns your kid into a confident, financially literate, self-starting human being.
(And possibly gets your bathroom cleaned in the process.)

Minor Chores isn’t just the cost of a subscription.
It’s the cost of raising a kid ready for the real world — one chore at a time.
