Im 13 and i wanna make money fast, got any good ideas?

It really depends on how much money you want to make and how "fast" you want to make it. Don't fall for some of these online "get rich quick" scams. These people put those links here because it helps their websites show up better in search engine results. (Though not all links are bad of course.)

I'd like to add though that marketing, advertising and promotion could be a strong factor in how much you make and how fast you make it.

1. Selling items on ebay. Great but you'll ned a bank account and will have to lie about your age - I remember my kids being excited at 18 they could finally legally open an ebay account - try and use someone else's account. Sell what you have AND don't forget to ask other people if you can sell something for them and get a percentage for it. Put flyers on doors, windows of businesses, etc. offering your services.

2. Scrapping: You'll need a partner who's 18 or over - but there's a lot of people dying to get rid of their scrap metal - especially older people, people who can't afford to pay someone - or people in the outerskirts of a city who have old cars, etc. and don't know what to do with the scrap. And definitely hit up businesses.

3. Regarding selling things: If you have a local paper, such as the Pennysaver we have here - it's under $5.00 for like a 3 line advertisement. Put an ad in the paper for what you're willing to do or willing to sell, etc. Don't miss this cheap route of advertising.

4. If you are selling products OR services - there are tons of websites that let you put up free ads - check out craiglist and those kinds of places - look through the help wanted or wanted sections - ya never know and it's free and can't hurt. There's a bunch of them out there.

5. Go to local businesses and tell them you're looking for a little extra money and ask if there's any work you can do - think of what you can do and offer those services. Lots of businesses pay people off the books. I'd give the teens some cash or a free pizza for washing dishes, pots and pans (by hand), putting stock away, taking out garbage, mopping out coolers, putting out local flyers, (I'd give them fifty cents for each one that came back since it had a coupon on it.) etc.

There's another idea - if you're creative with flyers - offer a local business a cheap opportunity to advertise for them - create a flyer to go door to door that has a coupon on it - and get a percentage of the one's that come back. Or charge them a flat fee (they want to make sure you're not going to just throw the flyers out though so think about this).

Become a regular without being pushy. Act responsible and trustworthy. Just remind them you're there if they're ever in a bind. And with small stores and restaurants - there's bound to be an emergency some time! You never know until you get out there and ask.

6. There are a bunch of "freelance" websites out there. Again, you're probably going to have to lie about your age. But a lot of these are simple data entry type jobs - like typing in those chapta or whatever they're called codes - with the funny letters and numbers - from software programs so they can open a billion accounts - see what's on these freelance websites and what you might be able to do. Don't sign up with one until you see something that interests you. Just make sure you use proper english and write like an adult in your communications.

7. Call some churches - tell them you're 13 and looking for some cash and if they know any elderly or disabled members that might need work done for a cheap price. If you're focusing on helping around the house or yard - concentrate on the elderly or disabled - they always need help and never know who to ask because they don't get out much. There is a huge generation growing of adult children living with their parents because their parents are too old to take care of themselves. These people need a "break" from taking care of their parents and their kids, and themselves, their house, etc. So see if there's anything you can do to "give them a break."

Some elderly or disabled are overly generous - and some don't have much to offer - just remember it'll all even out in the end - and for even those who can't pay much you're building up future relationships and they might have other contacts to call and refer you to. Don't burn any bridges. You never know who's going to be in your future and who will have what connections.

8. Ask churches if they know small businesses that need help, etc. Don't be intimiated - because you might lose some valuable leads if you get intimitated. Remember pastors are just people - not God. (Not sure about priests.) And a lot of times the secretary or whomever might give you some leads. My daughter found a local guy at church that just needed help blacktopping and stuff like that and he hired a bunch of teens to help and she made $10 an hour off the books. Maybe they're willing to pay a couple bucks for someone to do some website work or advertising for them. (Remember - you're not going to make a ton of money off a church - but you will get leads - which leads to making a ton of money.)

9. Seasons have a lot to do with what's available. Like everyone's said: tons of people need yard work assistance, leaves raked, garbage picked up, shrubs, branches cut or hauled, etc. In the winter, it's shoveling, summer, cutting grass. Wind storms - pick up trees and branches. Don't forget about gardening for the elderly if you have a green thumb. They might like a nice garden but not be able to do it. But again - make sure you advertise. The more people that know you're out there the more business you'll get.

10. Don't rule out dog care - walking and shoveling up poop - there's some people out there that have started businesses doing that and they are making big bucks.

11. Offices: Although they're less likely to hire someone off the books - check out some smaller ones. If they do mass-litigation they probably have a lot of envelope folding and mailing - some might need holiday invitations mailed out - stuff stamped or envelopes addressed - stuff like that.

I've got five kids over the age of 15. If there's one thing that has been consistent in their quest for money - it's "who you know." (And there's definitely money to be made in babysitting - get out there and advertise though.) You have to start making contacts and being overly nice to other adults, make a name for yourself in the community (where you live or the virtual community) then people will recommend you. Word spreads fast about an honest person who can provide quality work and word of mouth advertising is the best form of advertising - but that doesn't mean you shouldn't advertise by other means either.

What you need to do first is get in touch with your talents - what you're good at - what you like to do. You might also find you like or are good at something you've never done before. Typically, if you enjoy doing something, you'll be better at it.

Good with digital pictures? Advertise to get some albums or pictures organized or on a website or something like that for a flat rate. Just keep customer service as your number one priority. Can your write? Put up ads to write letters for people - lots of people can't write or have arthritis that makes it

There are a lot of 13 year olds making good money. There are so many cool small business success stories about teens who ended up making big businesses. Read them and learn. Each one is unique - all them typically involve passion and persistence. I wish I could think of some - but there are definitely stories out there. NOT the get rich quick scams - the real ones. Get inspiration from success stories from others. (You really have to watch out for the scams though - RESEARCH the businesses you're reading about.)

You just have to find out what you're good at and do it. Start by concentrating on what you like to do - what drives you. Great Yahoo just cut off half my answer.

Anyhow - advertise - create a want - find a need - put customers first. I have to get to work! Good luck to you!!!

babysitting, paper route, chores around the house, do yard work for neighbors, stuff like that.

Get a job! or babysit... ...or......LEMONADE STAND!!

Grab a bucket, a terry-cloth towel, some Dawn liquid and knock on all the doors of the houses with dirty cars in the driveways. You can make some awesome money in cleaning detail...good luck~

Sell something you and your friends can make or build that someone somewhere would like to buy.

Well if you love children,you can babysit,or do a paper route.In my town in Ohio they're having teens at your age working at a grocery store during the summer.

You could do yard work like raking, mowing, and watering gardens... You could also house sit while people are away on vac, or water their palnts and take care of their animals... u could also babysit, but I wouldnt recomend that for someone of your age... :)

Hope this helped!

ITS GRASS CUTTING SEASON AGAIN! lol, but seriously you would be surprised what people will pay you to cut their grass. And its exercise!

do you know how ta babysit?

You could walk your neighbors dog, cut your grass, or do some extra chores or something. I think you have to be 16 years old to have a real job. Or you could sign up for this site and do offers for your parents or by yourself for free. they send you a check every month as long as you make payout.

the site is: http://getswatcash.tk

100% real site

You could always offer to mow someones lawn for a few quid or walk someones dog.

Stay in school and worry about money later. There will be plenty of time in life to chase cheddar.

The Internet has simplified everything from shopping to banking and now even employment has been made easier because you can have a job online. That is right, as amazing as it sounds you can work from the comfort of your home, while travelingmore pre-screened home based employment opportunities than any other website. If you're interested in making money from home, this is certainly the website to check out!

The only thing you can really do right now is pick up as many odd jobs as possible such as walking dogs, mowing lawns, and helping old people.

Babysit....have a yardsale with some of the old stuff you don't use anymore...offer to walk people's dogs, wash their cars, mow their grass, etc.... most people will allow you to do that for him and you'll probably make $5 to $8...for every thing you do for them or for a few things...I used to do that when I was younger with a group of my friends...

sell old junk around your house i made 300 eruo

The fastest way possible would be to give blood & get some quick cash that way.

Others are doing chores for your neighbours get some cash that way too.

Sell things for money, a yard sale make a quick buck, also try selling things on eBay.

Or you get a five-fingered loan that doesnt need repaying unless you get found out.

sell things you dont need..what are you trying to buy?

probably something you dont need..the irony =]

Ebay, you can sell anything for a good price on there,
