ask neighbors if they need any help, raking, bringing in groceries for older people, late I know but maybe a mow ( here in IL we still are mowing a bit) , walking dogs, paper route, gramparent are good to hit up too. collecting cans if that is an option, giving pets baths, just about anything if you tell neighbors what you are tring to do im sure they will help

Try finding items sitting around your house that you could sell, then auction them off on eBay! You'll need to create a Paypal account (about 95% of buyers use Paypal as their means of paying the seller. You won't get nearly as much business if you don't use it.), but don't worry - it's free and perfectly safe, as is creating an eBay account. I've been selling on eBay since I was about 14, and my dad was wary of me using his credit card, but it didn't take too long for him to see that it was safe.
You also will need a camera to take pictures with - hopefully, one of your parents will know how to transfer pictures into computer files if you don't have a digital camera. It seems like a lot of trouble to start out, but it's really not, and it's definitely worth it in the end.
It may be difficult to sell random things on ebay, like books or games, so try to find a few brand-name items, or recognizable names, such as video games, DVDs or familiar clothing brands. Also, old collectables and franchise toys seem to sell really well.

Start babysitting, mowing grass, washing cars, raking leaves, shoveling snow, walk your neighbors dogs, ask grandparents, panhandle, sell mistletoe & holy (Great job around this time of year) decorate the mistletoe & holy and go to a popular shopping center and sell it for a buck a bag.

Forget the online "makes gobs of money doing nothing" scam-spam sites. Babysit, if nothing else.

Baby sitting, chores for neighbors, lemonade stand, baking cookies for selling.
