Easy Ways to Make Money (I'm a Teen)?


First off, I am a teenager. Only 13 (:
I really would like to make money. But
I just don't know how (:
I live in a kind of rural environment. But
I don't live in the hicktown. Just not a city.
I just need good ideas. To make money quick
And very fast. If possible

(: Sarah

HI Sarah....you know summer is coming....any chance you can babysit for a few parents.

Ifyou dont want to commit the entire summer doing that why not get with a friend or two and create a sports camp for the local kids
OR
get your same friends together and host a car wash

Plan a garage sale with old toys that you dont play with anymore


If you have younger brothers and sisters get them to have a lemondade stand with you
(people enjoy buying from the younger kids more so you stand back and supervise )

Ask your mom or dad to give you a task around the house....maybe you can agree to help conserve electricity by going around and turning off all lights that are not in use etc and ask them to give you the difference in the electric bill

mow grass
clean out gutters or run errands for neighbors for a small fee.

If making money fast was easy, everyone would be doing it! :D At 13 there probably isn't much chance of you getting a job, which is bad because that's usually the best way to earn a steady income. Your best bet, therefore, is to try and identify a need that your community has that you can provide (probably a service, like lawn-mowing or babysitting, but you can afford to get a bit more creative) and provide it; alternatively, find a product that everyone wants that you can make or get hold of, and sell it at a profit. (Just remember, in both cases, not to fall on the wrong side of the law). Sadly this isn't guaranteed to be a fast route, nor is it necessarily going to be fast, but it's the most likely options available to you. Good luck!

sell stuff on ebay

make it or buy it make a proffit
consider cost of selling and shipping

babysit
tutor
paper round

babysitting. See if there is some kind of program that you can take to become a certified babysitter. That is probably the best thing for someone your age.

Get old pc parts from local dumps and strip the gold coated fingers with a variety of chemicals that you will find in your schools chemistry lab! Sell the gold to local jewelry stores.
