How can a 13 year old make $5,000 in 5 months?

Question

I need to make $5,000 by june. How exactly can I do this????? And don't just say get a job. Be specific.

Answer 1

That's a lot of scratch, kid. I can't think of a legal way for a 13 year old to pull in that kind of cash part time.

Answer 2

I used to do this when I was 12-13 years old. I did it with baseball cards but whatever is hot now will work the same. Go to a local hotel, book a saturday or sunday for a banquet hall. Normally they run 600$ for the day. Then you rent out exhibitor booths to people that sell the items... the way we used to do it was, we would look in the phone book for baseball card dealers, and we would go to a local flea market. We would get 60 dealers and rent them a table for 100$ each. We would make 6000$ for 600$ investment, and usually the hotel lets you pay after the event. Works, just find your way.

Answer 3

That's $25 a week. Try selling things on e-bay. Get an adult to help you. Go out on garbage night and see what you can find.
Recycle metal, copper, and aluminum. Copper pays high. Stripping things is a good way for side money. Then make up the difference by doing chores for people.

Answer 4

I did it selling Regal Stationery & Gifts, (go to about 200 places showing items each night if your lucky at least 50 will buy from you! The others are Door slammed in face) unfortunately I lost most of my money to Bullies that asked for lunch money! I didn't get Lunch money. I earned the money thru' Regal. One Bully pretended to be the victim claiming me to be the Bully.. that's when I refused to give the lunch money. They believed the Bully over me.
I had to hand over the money I had that they thought was collected from kids lunch money. No one believed me that my money came from Regal Stationery & Gifts until someone that I sold to showed up at the School. The teachers made an apology but I didn't get my money back! It's best to play the poor kid and not let anyone know U have money when U do! Sure U
don't get many friends that way but U get to keep your money. I learned that too late!.
Sorry selling only way I know how to make money but you could save money by being a mystery shopper!

Answer 5

My friend makes money by sticking little sticky strips of padding to boards, then returning them to the factory or manufacturer. This makes him $20 a board. Another friend counts out twenty plastic pieces, staples them in a bag, and fills a giant box with the bags, returning it to a factory which gives him $20/box. Any relatives that work in factories or friends with relatives that do could help you. This is the easiest way to make some quick cash that I know of.

Answer 6

I really don't know of any way unless you are discovered by a talent scout and become a television or movie star in the next couple of weeks. I am not trying to be sarcastic. This would be difficult for adults to do, much less for a 13 year old.

Answer 7

You will have to make about:

$1000 a month
$250 a week
$36 a day

dont believe any one who tells you you cant do it.. YOU CAN DO IT.

The key to making money is having many different streams of income. That means to have more than one way of making money.

Here are some of my suggestions.

Like others i would suggest that you sell things on ebay. There is probably tons of stuff in your room that you could part with and sell on ebay. if you see things at the shop that are super cheap buy alot of them and list them on ebay. Ebay can be confusing at first but there are alot of online reasources and cheap books you can but that will tell you how to list items to sell.

If youre good at drawing you could draw your friends portraits. write a comic strip.

You could write up your flyers on your computer to do yard jobs for people in your neighborhood..

you could offer to walk peoples dogs for them. You could do it for $3 per dog and the good thing with that is that you can take many dogs for the one walk. if you could take 8 at a time you could make $18 for a half hour walk. if you did 5 half hour walks a week you could make $90 just from that. Also with the smaller dogs you could offer to bath them for $8 per dog.

If you know how to play an instrument really well you could offer to teach your friends how to play if they pay you for lessons. Or you could tutor the younger kids at your school if you are good at a particular subject. Or sports training.

You could also offer to clean your friends and families houses and or bedrooms for a price.

Think about what you are good at and what you can offer people. Tell alot of people what you are doing and offer your services to them.

Remember to save your money also. Only spend money if its going to help you make more money..

Going for your dreams + believing you can do it + hard work = SUCSESS!!

Good Luck

Answer 8

Collect cans
Babysitting
Do chores for your parents/relatives/neighbors
Paper route

I was a soccer referee when I was that age, and I made almost $100 a game. It was fun and easy!

Good luck!

Answer 9

Just take your goal and divide it by the number of days or weeks you have remaining. That's how much you need.

Now, sell as much and work as much as you can. Sell gum & candy at school and mow, weed, etc.. as much as you can.

During April and May, you should be able to make TONS of money. People would be willing to pay good money for somebody to pull all their dead plans and weeds so they can begin planting.

Answer 10

well besides getting a job and would have to be a real good job to make that kind of money at 13 that is hard to say.. Might try sitting on the corner with a cup and acting homeless...lol...
