Okay I was making £50 a week but that system has now failed and I am trying to find another way of how to make money online or maybe not online? I shall take any suggestions and please bare in mind I am 13 ( 14 in march) and if there is anything that I could do that is equal to or more than £50 a week :)
P.S. My parents do not believe in pocket money, however they do say they shall buy me what I want but the things I want are a bit much =p
(Btw I am saving for a Wii - I have enough for - a small HD tv and a PS3).
Thank for any help!
Also, I am not an average 13 year I am the top in my year and I am already doing 3 GCSE's early.

hehe, I am not going to say how I made £50 a week but I am focusing on my studies I am top in my year? Not boast just saying....
ALSO! My parents will not let me do a paper round because my mum will think I am getting ran over or something silly like that :'(

How was you making 50 quid?!
How about a paper-round?

Well done and good for you!
It sounds like you have a good career ahead of you in something.
There are lots of things you can do, such as dog walking and car washing, grass cutting in spring and things like that. But most people under 18 earn less than £5 an hour, so you have to do a lot of work to get there.
There are ways of auctioning stuff on Ebay to increase sales, offer 50% of your profits to a childrens charity, make and sell paintings, they don't have to be anything spectacular at all. Pictures or similar items that you have made yourself and can easily be posted and are not fragile.
People will buy things from children out of a 'charitable kindness', and I have seen paintings sell for £20-30, which are going to partly profit children in need, childline etc. You should tell the relevant charity your intentions and they will then permit you to do this.
Good luck. Always remember people like Richard Branson, started off selling bits and bobs, he left school with very little education and look at his acheievements! The world is your oyster, so go get it!

My neighbours kids only have to attend school for 2 half days per week and the government pays them £30 per week out of taxpayers money for their prescence obviously not the way your education should go!!
Failing that babysitting, dog-walking, sell some of your unwanted stuff or work in your local market/cafe for cash in hand weekends.That way you keep your dignity and maintain your education.
If your folks dont believe in pocket money but can afford to donate how about volunteering to do jobs you dont normally do to relieve the pressure from them and earn some cash at the same time?
Failing that ask for a Wii for your birthday and concentrate on your studies and you will have a better life when you are old enough to appreciate the true value of money and self.
Be a child while you can, being a grown-up sucks especially when you wasted your school years trying to earn pocket money x

You can get a work premit from your local council which enables you to apply for jobs usually restricted to over 16's. I'm not sure how effective they are as my 15 year old daughter didn't have much success but it's worth a go.
Other than that, what about e bay? Maybe your parents could set up an account for you and you could trade with their help and permission? There are plenty of niches that are crying out to be filled, you just need to work out what they are.
Good luck and well done for being so enterprising.

Go around your neighborhood. Offer to wash cars, do yard work or any other little tasks that they may need done. At 13 odd jobs are the best way to make money. I wouldn't exclude the babysitting, dog walking and pet sitting. Maybe make fliers up of ALL of the odd jobs you are willing to do and pass them around your neighborhood. Only do this if your parents approve!

get a paper round like most 13 year olds! You can make your millions when your older, for now concentrate on your studies.

With a friend you could go around in rich neighborhoods and ask the folks if they need their windows washed. It's easy and quick and the outlay for supplies is low. I did it when I was a kid and made 20-50 a day US

A common misconception is that you will have to be a financial and business expert in order to successfully trade binary options. However, this is not true at all. Learn here https://tr.im/gPLsB
Perhaps it’s true when it comes to traditional stocks trading but definitely not true in the case of binaries. You don’t have to be an expert to predict the movement of certain assets.

There is no legal way for you to earn the sort of money you are demanding.
Do your parents know you are touting for business like this online?
Please, learn not to be so acquisitive (look it up) and focus on where you're at right now.
PS Yeah woteva. My son is also 13 and doing 5 GCSEs a year early. That's standard at his (state) school.
