Since I'm too young to get an actual job... what are some other ways I can make money?
If you say, "lemonade stand", I'll come after you with a toaster.

I ain't jokin', either.

If you have a bookstore in your town that buys used books such as Hastings you can make lots of money. Find out what the criteria is for what books they will take. Then go to garage sales and buy books as cheap as possible. Sometimes if their books are overpriced ( I don't pay more than .25 for a paperback and .50 for hardcover) I leave them my phone number and tell them I may buy their leftover books after their sale is over. Some people have given me their books if I will pick them up. Hastings gives you twice the money you would get in cash if you take it in the form of a gift card. I have spent $1.00 on books and have ended up with over $100.00 on a gift card.

Also, theres a website called www.simplysellular.com that buys old cell phones. They send you an envelope with the postage paid so it doesn't cost anything to send them. You can probably talk alot of people out of their old phones.
Good Luck!


TellMeWhy?
Of course, there is always Ebay.
Garage sale.
Baby sitting.
Tutoring someone.
Filling out questionnaires online.
Cutting neighbours grass
Making and selling CD's
Extra chores

There are the old reliables - babysitting, yard work, shoveling snow. If you have good neighbors you could offer to do odd jobs for either a set fee or an hourly wage. I had some kids in my neighborhood help me sweep out my garage, wipe down my kitchen table and chairs and play catch with my dog.

When I was little I lived near a golf course and used to hunt for lost golf balls in the weeds and such along the edge of the course and in the ponds on the course and then sell them back to the golfers. Price depended on the type and the shape it was in. For a 5 year old I knew all the top brands.

babysit, go grocery shopping for neighbors if youre old enough to drive, clean houses, paperroute, if your parents own their own business, ask to do some work for them, Invent something!!!!


christy
When I was younger I used to take care of peoples dogs/cats when they were away.Let everyone in your neighborhood know that you are available.Also you could let people you know that you can Wash cars babysit children and I also had an aunt that worked in a print shop that would bring envelopes home to stuff for them.

There are many ways! You can Babysit...even have a Babysitting Co. (become the babysitting ringleader and recruit other friends to work for you and delegate them to other people who need their help)You could probably even if you were ambitious enough and had enough time...a website company.
You are never too young!

You could babysit for someone,
You could scoop your neighbors walks,
You could ask if a neighbor needs any light house cleaning done,
You could walk someones dog,
You could run errands for someone,

hope this helps!

You could also see if your community has some sort of youth program where they will employ you and you get paid for it.

they have it here, some kids sell candy, Christmas wreaths, clean up the sides of the roads, all kinds of things.

I haven't found much either, except babysitting. You could deliver the paper or the Guide To Buying. The paper is everyday though. Even holidays!!

If you lived in the country you might try growing vegetables (not all kinds, but specialize in just one thing that grows like crazy where you live and that people really like---for example, okra does great where I live). I used to pick pecans when I was a kid. In Texas and some of the neighboring states, pecan trees are everywhere, so I picked 'em mainly in parks and on city right-of-ways. (Fruit stand and feed store owners are often in business as pecan buyers.) Of course, January is too late in the year for pecans, but I'm just answering generally how "kids" can make some money.
You might try taking care of people's pets while they are out of town. (I'd recommend that you be rather selective, though. I wouldn't care for dogs I thought were potentially vicious. Also, I'd only care for dogs and cats in my home if they were gentle, and in the case of dogs, small animals.)

It depends on how old you are....you could babysit or mow lawns. Ask your parents if they need any work done around the house...


karen v
have a yard sale, do errand for the ederly people in your neighood, do extra chores at home, get a paper route.

Really if you buy the right pets when you get a deal on them and turn around and sell them for a profit is great. I bought a gold and yellow macaw and cage for 300 dollars and turned around and sold it for 2 grand. I took 3 horses from my moms friend and promised her I find them great homes, she didnt care if I sold them, watch for that if you get free pets, and sold them for 50 grand. Its all about business skills, you have to know how to walk and talk it, I was raised around it so its not hard for me. Pretty much though you have to know you have these skills before you try this or else youll end up with 3 horses in your yard and a macaw chewing on your computer desk... good luck!

babysit, rake leaves, garden, petsit, shovel snow, brush a dog/cat, tutor kids, or a LEMONADE STAND!!!!!!!!!!!


anamaradancer
How old are you exactlly. Babysitting is alway a good source of income. even if it is sporatic. Some times group meetings in the community will pay for child care while they meet every week or month. Otherwise Pet care, yard work, and other local jobs are easy and sometimes very well paying.

babysitting
and jobs for parents/neighbors..

Babysitting is the most practical job to start with, because it's relatively easy, especially if you start out with older children...Try letting family friends who need babysitters that you're up for the job. At first it takes a while to find a babysitting job, but once you get one family, others start asking for you too..I'm not quite sure why, but I guess it's more reassuring for parents to know that babysitters have had experience..umm, if you're not a kid-person, then nvm..
Jobs like mowing the lawn and stuff are good too, but you have to let people know that up for it...

but the best job ever is selling lemonade.
just kidding
