Lemonade stand a good idea for a summer job?

Question

I am 13 years old and looking for a way to make $$ over the summer. I know car washes and lemonade stands, but I want something different.

Answer 1

Maybe you could babysit a neighbor's child or mow lawns. You could also do housework, and charge about $10 an hour.

Answer 2

well first of all you cant work like in a cafe or something like that, but you can work private. Ideas: 1) Sell lemonade 2) babysit a small child like a 4 year old or 6 year old, they will pay you more cause the more small the child is , the more pay. 3) Wash dogs ( big ones) , because people dont like to spend like $10 to $20 to get their dogs clean, so make a dog washing buisness, $6 per a dog is good 4) Walk dogs 5) babysit pets 6) deliver newspapers 7) car wash( wash it real good, you never know when there is tips)!! 8) sell stuff that you can make like cake, brownies, cookies, etc. 9) Yard Sale!! Yard Sale!! Sell stuff that you dont want or stuff that you hardly touch!! also be a good sport around the house, i think your parents will raise your allowance or do more chores around the house. all these helped me get money real easily!! Hope this helps!!

Answer 3

Kind of depends on where you live. Here in Phoenix, nobody is out walking around in the heat and no one is going to pull over to get into the heat to buy lemonade. May be a better idea where you live.

I like the cleaning houses and yard work idea. Also dog walking and washing, pool cleaning, house painting, errands for the elderly.

Answer 4

The lemonade sounds like a good idea but if you want to make big $$$ try a car wash I know some one who did that and got $450!

Answer 5

I think Lemonade or a bake sale would bring in some money. Maybe yard work, housework and babysitting. Also, dog walking, pet sitting and house sitting would also help you make money :o)

Answer 6

For maybe a week out of 2 months of summer? Lol... Ask your parents for money or check into soccer refereeing, its not during the summer but I did it when I was that age and made $180.00/weekend.

Answer 7

Try selling baked goods with your lemonade, it worked wonders for me!

Answer 8

you could make a yard sale and sell bunch of stuff

u could do odd obs like lawns, and other stuff

but babysitting is the easiest way

Answer 9

For a summer job you should work at the Y.M.C.A. and ask if they can take you for the summer.

Answer 10

Why not cleaning houses? Ask your neighbors, family, etc.
