Question

I need some money to buy some stuff that i really, really want. Please gimme some ideas on how to earn 300 dollars!! PLEASE!!!!

Answer 1

My first thought is babysitting.

Babysitting is a great way to make money. If you have one year, that means you're looking to make about 6-ish dollars a week for a year. If you got one or two babysitting jobs a week, you could manage that much money.

Another great way is walking pets! Try asking your neighbours if they need their lawns mowed, or organize a bake sale with a few friends. I once made over $50 from a lemonade stand that I set up outside of a garage sale--so if you know anyone planning a garage sale, ask if they'd mind if you set one up!

Odd jobs around the house are a great way. Get your parents/guardians to teach you to clean the bathroom really, really well and make a deal with them to do that every few days for an allowance.

$300 is a lot of money that takes a lot of work, though, so I would look at my priorities if I was you. If you want to make that much money, you might regret spending it on something that you won't like in a year. Good luck!

Answer 2

I got some money pet sitting when I was younger. You can also babysit if you want. Also, try a garage sale. There maybe stuff that you wouldn't want and instead of getting rid of them you can sell them. A lemonade stand also wouldn't hurt. At the end of the day though, don't spend your hard earned cash on something less that you're not saving up! I had a bad experience once.

Answer 3

what do you need 300 dollars for ?Most kids your age get at least something for their bday so I would imagine you would ask for something like that then.You could ask family for some ideas they could pay you for like cleaning out the barn,garage,have a yard sale,sale some of your clothes in the paper you out grew.Pack your lunch and save 3 dollars a day.Thats 15 dollars a week right there.Good luck.

Answer 4

Paper route, baby sitting, lawn mowing (or other chores for neighbors -- old ladies especially), (begging parents for money for extra chores -- or just money), saving birthday/christmas money, trying to make and sell items (like charm bracelets or something), selling magazines or other goods door-to-door, host a garage sale (get your family's permission 1st), find something to buy ane resell on-line [when i was in college, a friend of mine was buying DVDs in bulk -- and selling them in packages of 5-20 on E-bay to get through school], lemonade/cookie stand, etc.

Answer 5

Come mow my lawn and rake my leaves. I paid more than that to a college boy last year and it's almost tome to start again. Lots of money to be made there. He only came every ten days so he has a lot of other customers.

Answer 6

Well im 13 and I babysat and got 150 bucks! But I dont think everybody is that generous. But babysitting is a good option. Also allowance.

Answer 7

You could babysit, mow lawns, rake leaves, shovel snow, just do yardwork in general for people in your neighborhood. Have your parents help you get the word out. Just tell people you can help them with any odd jobs around their house. Just make sure the people you work for are people you know and trust.

Answer 8

You can try these:
babysit (call your local hospitol and see if they offer classes
referee soccer games or help out other sport organizations
do some chores and try to get paid for tehm

Answer 9

If your smart you could always charge for tutoring.
Or sell on E-Bay your stuff u don't use have your mom set you up an account.
Have a yard sale.

Answer 10

Walking neighbors dogs. Clean your neighbors homes. I know I would be willing to pay anyone to help me with housework.
