Whats a good way for a 12 year old to make money?

Ofcourse I'v heard of babysitting, mowing lawn, paper routes, ect. But what are some REAL ways to make money?

Sell Trick-or-Treat protection insurance
On Halloween, go around to all your neighbors while you are trick-or-treating, and offer to sell them trick-or-treat insurance. Promise them that if they buy the insurance, you will make sure their house doesn't get toilet papered or egged, and if it does, that you'll clean it up. Charge something really cheap like $1 and you'll pull in alot of suckers.

If they don't buy the insurance, toilet paper and egg their house. Then the next year you'll have one more customer! And make sure to jack up the price a little too!

thats basically only the REAL way

They cannot work for a business or anything like that. Chores are the best because allowance pays pretty well, I get $20 a month, but I'm 15 and looking for a job.

since summer is only around the corner, he/she can sell lemonade, water, and sodas

EBay. Get your folks to help you set up an account. Hit the garage sale in your area and resell on eBay. Buy and sell what you know.

I made $150 from a bake sale.

Those are the REAL ways. You could do garden work or something in your neighborhood, but really, your choices are extremely limited.

LEMONADE STAND!!!! OR WORK THE

Your **** out of luck.
I'm 15 and you are basically me when I was 12 haha.
I still don't have a job...I babysit.
Um let me try and help you honey.
This kid at my school sells packs of gum for like five bucks each and people are so desperate they bought them haha. You could always make and sell jewelry or homemade tshirts or something. School is a really great place to sell stuff. You can also sell stuff on ebay or craigslist.com
Then of course there is yard sales.
You could do peoples hair and makeup and nails and stuff if your good.
I know some people who got a little summer day camp together. The parents basically paid them to take their kids all day (like a lot of kids so youd have to do it with a friend). Do activities with a bunch of the kids in the neighborhood and make mad money in one day.
If you are really desperate.
Then you could do what I did when i was 11, sell weed.

Ha kidding about the last part, but really good luck.

You'll want to make your own money by investing some money you've already got. You can't just go and get a job in exchange for money, partly because it's not illegal and partly because that never gets people all that much money. I'm almost 14, and I've dropshipped things on amazon.com through other retail stores, and now I'm trying to buy bulks of things, and sell them off online. It's worked for me. Try finding something that works for you!

You mean lots of money. Can't. Not yet anyway. You can get a job at the age of 16 or 18 in some states.

Dont worry about money.
ever think about volunteering! I did it when I was younger and it gets you great work experience and will make you connections for when you are older and need a job. You will be helping people and learning alot. Alot of times volunteer work is a requirement for scholarships as well.

clean house for a friends mom.

1. Be a chef. At about eleven years old, I used to sell meals to my brothers (I had four of them). I got 25 cents for scrambled eggs or a sandwich, and more for more complicated meals. My brothers preferred to stay in front of the TV and let me cook for them. Since the food was already provided by my parents, the income was pure profit.

2. Computer whiz-kid service. Many young kids know a lot about computers. My nephew was getting paid for programming by the the time he was fourteen, but even younger kids can show old folks how to use a computer and the internet for a fee. Learn a few more skills, and they can even set up computers for new owners who are using them for the first time. Letting grandparents spread the word would be a good marketing ploy.

3. Household carnival. I charged my brothers five cents for a wadded up piece of paper selected from a bucket full of them. Most had a penny or two inside them, but a few had a quarter. It was just one of my "carnival" events. I also had them throwing pennies at a bowl across the room, which I kept, of course. If a penny stayed in the bowl they won a dime. I'm almost embarrassed to say how much of their hard-earned paper route money I took from them.

4. Collect returnables. We collected and returned cans and bottles for a deposit as kids. Now that more states have return laws, it's an even better way to make a little cash. During the Cherry Festival, when I lived in Traverse City, Michigan, adults came to town just to collect the cans that people threw all over. With a 10 cent deposit, they were collecting more than $100 worth per day according to several of them. If the kids wear gloves, leave broken cans and bottles alone, and use hand sanitizer, this is a safe way to make money.

5. Personal services menu. If there are many people in the family, a great way for kids to make money is to sell their services. They can make a menu of things they'll do and how much they charge for each. It might include washing windows for 50 cents each, for example, and maybe $1.50 to walk a dog. If the list is copied, it could be handed out to all relatives and possibly neighbors too.

6. Rummage sales and flea markets. If parents agree, kids can have rummage sales, selling not just household things, but arts and crafts and refreshments too. Parents might even take their kids to a flea market to set up a stand. I sold (as an adult) more than $1,000 of hand-made walking sticks one summer, while my wife sold hundreds of dollars worth in pewter figurines glued to rocks, sea shells and crystals. Cookies and drinks sell well too. It's a great way to learn about business, and a good way for kids to make money.

How about a lemonade stand. No, really? There aren't that many things that 12 year olds are capable of doing that can make any real money, that don't collide with the law.

house sitting,dog walking,

lemonade stand

or hand out newspaper

hope i helped!

x3 Those ARE real ways to make money for a 12 year old.

But, anywayz. You could do a lemonade/cupcake stand. Summer's coming. <3

Or do chores for other people that no one else wants to do.

<3 Like taking care of their doggy's doo doo.

Or have a doggy day care if your parents allow it. You can advertise and stuff. Since, summer is coming, and, to me, that sounds like a blast.

But only if your parents agree.
