INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your bank probably has a website where you can pay off bills and check your accounts online. Ask your bank if they support an app, then help you high schooler download and learn how to use it. Many banks offer easy ways to pay off monthly bills online, and even if your kid doesn’t have a credit card yet, having easy access to their accounts can encourage them to check up on their budget more often. There are also many third-party apps available to streamline the process of paying bills and setting budgets. Ask your bank if they recommend one, and make sure you check with your bank before entering any of your child’s banking into a non-affiliated app. Learning how to write checks, balance an account, etc. will lower the risk of budget shortfalls in adulthood. Even if your child won’t be using checks, it’s helpful to have a checking account in case they get a job with a direct deposit that can only pay them through this kind of account. Start as early as possible, while your child is still at home and the consequences for mistakes aren't as severe. Set up the account with your child and monitor their spending habits. Not all banks allow underage teens to have checking accounts, but it's worth calling around to find one that does. If you hit this problem, give them control of their savings account. Emphasize that credit cards are borrowed money and that debit cards are automatic withdrawals from their bank account. Show your monthly statements to your child. Highlight the section on your bank account statement that itemizes debit card expenditures. If you keep a balance on your credit card, point out the information explaining how long it will take you to pay the balance off. This will teach them to manage their money and their time. Seek out local businesses that are willing to work with high school schedules. Help your child fill out job applications and make good impressions on prospective employers. While you shouldn't charge them rent just yet, remind them that luxuries are their responsibility. This includes expensive clothing, entertainment, and gas fill-ups. If they don't want to drive the family car, help them figure out how much they'll need to save until they can afford their own wheels. These lessons will prepare them for the responsibilities of adulthood. Most teens know how to keep track of money, but many blow through it before the next payday. If this happens with your child, try not to give them money to tide them over. Instead, allow them to experience the consequences of their actions. Remind them that you won't always be there in the future and to use this as a teachable moment. Don’t let your child rely on you as their sole source of money because this will make them less self-sufficient and resourceful.

SUMMARY: Teach them how to use banking apps and websites. Help them open a checking account. Warn them about credit and debit cards. Encourage them to get a part-time job. Let them pay their own way. Avoid giving your kids money frequently.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use a measuring tape to determine the length and width of your pool if you don't already know the dimensions. Multiply the 2 numbers to find the total surface area. This process is easiest for a rectangular pool.  For a circular pool, measure the diameter of the pool and divide it by 2 to find the radius. Square the radius and multiply the number by pi (π). For a triangular pool, multiply the length of the base and the length from the base to the furthest point of the triangle. Divide the result by 2 for the surface area. If you have an irregular shaped pool, you'll have to find the averages for each measurement. Measure the shortest and longest lengths and add them together. Divide the answer by 2 to find the average length. Repeat the process to find the average width. Run a tape measure down to the bottom of the water at both ends of your pool. Once you find the shallowest and deepest point, add the depths together and divide by 2 to find the average depth of your pool. If your pool is the same depth throughout, you do not have to take an average measurement. Once you have your two figures, multiply them together to find the volume of your pool. This will either be in cubic feet or cubic meters depending on your measurement system. There are 7.5 US gallons in 1 cubic foot, but there are 1,000 liters (260 US gal) in 1 cubic meter. Multiply the volume dependent on your measurement system to find the amount of water in your pool.
Summary: Find the length and width of your pool to find the surface area. Average the depth of the shallow end and the deep end. Multiply the surface area and depth to find the volume. Multiply the volume by 7.5 for cubic feet or by 1,000 for cubic meters.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Make sure your website is up, working well and very attractive before you invest in pay-per-click marketing, social media managers or anything else that is designed to funnel traffic to your website. If people are unable to use your website, they will not buy. Post free content on your website, such as short video clips, tutorials, interesting articles, blogs, advice or a free e-book. Make a landing page, so that they you can get their contact information to offer them specials and promotions in the future via email. Facebook, Foursquare, Pinterest and Twitter are valuable ways to attract new customers. Post sales, new products and links to sign up for your free content on the social media pages.  Social media accounts are free; however, there is some cost in time and expertise in maintaining them consistently. Just like blogging, the value is in frequent use. Follow other businesses and try cross promoting on Facebook or other accounts. Blasting your followers with specials every day may not be the best way to get regular readers, but posting other interesting content between sales posts is a good marketing strategy. Try the Facebook ads and promoted posts to get new people interested in your site. You can use behavioral marketing to target your ideal customer demographics. Think of social media as a way to connect with your customers. You will attract reliable, repeat customers if you develop a relationship with them. You will increase the “instant gratification” of the purchase and convince potential customers of the value they are getting.  Make sure you can afford to offer the shipping. Consider that sometimes adding a free product or shipping will work just as well as taking a discount. People like to have value added to their purchase, but still feel like they are getting a quality product. Give something to people who purchase your product via email or Facebook. They are likely to be more pleased with their purchase and refer others. Search engine marketing requires you to create an account with Bing, Google, Yahoo or another engine and pay a small fee to have results on the first page. Use your products and customer preferences to choose your keywords.   PPC marketing asks you to bid for a per click price. You may be outbid by other companies for the same keyword or keyword combination. Your website will appear higher and attract more customers and clicks if you fine-tune your keywords over time. Remember that very common key words may be too expensive to justify with a small business marketing campaign. Try long-tail keywords (2 or more words) that are more specific to your region, products or brands. Use WordStream’s free keyword tool to research popular keywords before you bid for them on Google AdWords or Microsoft Ad Center.

SUMMARY:
Spend money on the back end of a website. Offer them something for free. Start social media accounts. Consider offering free shipping. Give a well thought out loyalty bonus. Buy pay-per-click (PPC) marketing.
