What are some good ways to earn money for a 13 year old?

beacuse i dont get an allowance, and my parents wont give me one, and i babysit + dont make a lot .. what are some other waays i can get some money? PLEASE dont be inapropriate (i know i didnt spell that right)

So cute...I just answered this for a 14 yr old.
I'll ask you the same things. Do you have any interests or hobbies? Any creativity flowing in you? Do you like animals?
Maybe you could bathe pets for people, or make jewelry or decorations. Basically...since you have no bills to pay at this time...you can afford to be choosy and do something you love.
Do your folks have any friends that have stores that may need help with stocking merchandise? Offices that need someone to help with filing?
You say your folks won't give you an allowance. Well..they shouldn't for no reason...but what if you worked for an allowance? It's actually good for you that they don't just hand over money to you. It will teach you the value of a dollar...which will be pricelss later on. Learn to save what you earn. If you save and eventually invest (this will be up to your folks) and be responsible with your money, you will have more than enough later on.

Scab off people... Works for me =)

Don't go for any of those internet at home jobs. Most are scams.
I just paid one of the neighborhood teenagers to watch our pets while we were away. I chose her because our regular house sitter was occupied. In addition to babysitting you could pet sit and/or walk pets. Also, there is always yard work people need at all times of the year. What are some other chores you have around your house? Older people without kids will pay you to do the same chores for them.
