Whats a good way for a teenager to make money?

Question

Im very responsibe because I don't like asking my mom for money and I don't like people buying me things. I feel more sucessful when I do it myself. The only thing is that I don't get an allowance and I need to find a way to support myself better. But I don't have enough time or age qualification to get a job.


and no.. Im not going to steal...

Answer 1

why dont you try to sell the things you dont want anymore, clothes, stuff, etc.

Answer 2

·Cleaning, kitchenwork, packing, running errands, gardening, babysitting, newspaper delivery are some of the jobs available. These jobs will be posted in local newspapers and billboards. Many businesses hesitate to employ minors because of the legal restrictions on working hours and documentation required.

A better option is to work from home on your computer - write articles, sell on eBay, make a website, take surveys.

In some cases, you may have to set up an account in your parents or guardians name, and ask them to pay you, after they get the money for your work. ANYONE from ANYWHERE in world can join!

Answer 3

Find another friend and you two team up and deliver papers in the morning - you rubber band them, they drive or ride your bikes and throw them on the porch- it's only a couple of hours a day and can make about $150 a mo. each ! Or ask the elderly people in your neighborhood if they need their yard watered - walk their dogs or whatever! ( It's so hot now, they'd appreciate your help )! How old are you ? Mc Donalds was my first job!

Answer 4

Glad you aren't going to revert to stealing! Several things you can do;

Pet/Home sitting is a good business. Some people going on vacation or business trips need to have pets fed, walked and brushed daily. They want their home cared for too, plants watered, lights turned on at night, etc. Print up some great looking flyers for your business.

Elderly companion/helper is another useful business. You can run grocery errands, help with light housekeeping, read to them if their eyesight is gone, etc. Many of these folks are lonely and need some TLC from a nice person too. Just think of them as being your grandparents and take good care of them.

Answer 5

Sometimes I've made money by doing odd jobs around my neighborhood. They pay me $10 an hour to do things like painting, landscaping, etc. It's kind of freelance- I just work when I want to work, and get paid for the time work. See if your nighborhood will work something out with you.

Some other easy options are dog walking, babysitting, and pet sitting.

Answer 6

it depends on what you're intrested in, and how old you are. i, for instance, am intrested in working as an assistant for a book store owner, but as i am only 14, they won't let me, despite my known responsability. i also love children, and have never once been turned down in babysitting.

just go out and find a job that suits you.

when you can't find anything however, you could always try yard work, or yard sales.

good kuck!
