How can a 14 yr. old make mokmre than 100$ in month?


errors: make more than ....

You can make more than that if you babysat every saturday. Hang up fliers offering your services. Don't be afraid to ask for $50 dollars a night....that's how much i pay my babysitter. She comes over and plays and then cleans up when she's done...even does the dishes.

I had a job at Dairy Queen when i was 14...I made minimum wage but still think I took home more than 100 a month...you just need to get a working permit...ask your parents to help you with that...they would have to sign it.

You could send out fliers to offer house cleaning....not at all glamorous....but you could get 50-75 dollars for 2 hours of work.

You know it is so hot during the summer, and there are a ton of firms doing landscaping services for apartment complexes. Offer to do basic end of lease clean out services for move-our families that don't want to mess with this hassle (I was one of them), at $25/job. Mowing grass on those big properties that don't have a service, weeding, tedious jobs such as that, pay well, too. Be persistent, be courteous, and make fliers to go door-to-door. If you get a negative response, ask if they know anyone who may need help with baby-sitting or yard work, such as an elderly person. You can also shop for groceries; well, maybe not.

Depending where you live, start around your block, going door to door. Introduce yourself, tell them where you live, and ask if they need any help with chores, landscaping, taking out trash, odd jobs, etc. Be an all-call worker (girls can work as hard, or harder, than boys). You can pack lunches, play with kids, stay with them while Mom goes shopping, or do before or after work sitting.

Make a list and brainstorm what your talents are (perhaps tutoring to help keep a second grader or whomever on his skills over the summer). Good luck! :)

maybe babysitting but it'd be a lot of babysitting

at 14 i made killer money babysitting. it was never an issue to have some spending cash on me for shopping or going out with my friends. i dont know about your neighborhood, but mine has a newsletter you can advertise your services in. perhaps put your name and number in for that and see what happens. but be sure you get a good idea of who you are babysitting for and that someone you trust knows them. too many creeps out there!

like others said, start your own business. it will take some work, but many others are doing that very thing. if you do not mind cleaning, i bet some elderly people in your neighborhood would appreciate your help.

Well, I'm 15 and I make websites for clients. This one project ( http://www.Dillxn.com/carter ) I am working on will range from $400 to $1000, so you could do that. If you are interested check out my site at http://www.Dillxn.com and drop me a line. I will help you get started.

be creative, start your own "little business."
you could have a website, illustrate, word process, etc.

You can't, unless you're babysitting about 20 hours/month.

You might try selling stuff on EBay. You can't actually get an EBay account yourself, but you can use one under parental supervision. There was one lady on EBay who made small kites. Maybe something you'd make would sell.

See if you can babysit for someone.

Mow some yards.

Offer to clean houses.

Walk and bathe peoples dogs.

Do work around your own house.

Hope i helped.
Good luck!
