How can a 15 year old make some money?

Question

I know I already asked want to award points because it did not show up on my profile.

Answer 1

-Snow/grass/leaves removal and other odd jobs
(painting, tree trimming, garbage removal, help people pack and move, etc.)
-pet sitting/walking (good luck if you try to wash!)
-car wash/vacuum/windows
-tutoring
-housecleaning
(dishes, dusting, vacuuming, washing floors/walls, organizing the kids rooms, etc.)
-flyer/newspaper delivery
-yard sale to get rid of stuff you don't use anymore
(ask friends and relatives for donations to the sale)

You could also try to become a PARTY PLANNER.
Organize and run kids birthday parties... lots of parents don't have time or energy to.

Be a POOPER-SCOOPER. Lots of people have dogs and don't enjoy cleaning up the yard after them! I know I don't.

PS. I'd stay away from the crafts/bake sale idea as it costs money to make it and takes a lot of time just to make a couple dollars. And the lemonade stand idea is more for kids.

Definitely market yourself with flyers on bulletin boards at local stores, schools, seniors buildings, etc. Make sure they have the little rip-off things with your name and number. And give your business a name to make it more professional.

Good luck!

Answer 2

There's lots of ways. For openers, there are more and more old people around every day, and a strong 15-year-old could be a life-saver. Cleaning up, mowing lawns, shoveling snow, taking out recycled bottles and cans, doing all sorts of minor repairs and maintenance. Put up the screens in the spring and take down the storm windows. Reverse the process in the fall. Work in the garden or change the oil in the car. Run errands to grocery store, drug store to pick up prescriptions, post office, all that sort of thing.

Then there are small businesses that need delivery people and errand runners, and much of that can be done on a bicycle or even on a skateboard. Again, cleaning up or anything else which is sufficiently informal they don't want to hire a full-time salaried person, but can contract for a few hours of a Saturday or after school.

Don't forget people who are moving and could use some help schlepping boxes and cleaning up the apartment to get their security deposit back. Are you good at packing?

Do you have any hobbies that might yield an income? Collectors sell as well as buy, crafters make things to sell at craft fairs and even art fairs. If you have artistic talent in music, theater, writing, painting, sculpture, electronic art, you can often work through an agent (adult; not necessarily your parents, but perhaps an aunt or uncle) to sell your work. But if you have that kind of talent, you probably already know it.

Think outside the box. Most "regular" jobs require you to be at least 17, probably 18. But there's just things you can do which people would be willing to pay you to do, that don't involve anyone having to fill out a bunch of paperwork.

What are you good at?
