What can we do (my brother and I) to make money?

Question

We'd like to make money, not for us but for our parents, we already get an allowance. I'm a young teen and have a preteen brother.

We've already had a paper route when we were younger and that didn't work out well. I've always wanted a babysitting job but can't get one due to the pact that there is already a girl on my street who does all the babysitting near us.

So any suggestions are welcome as long as we can do the close to home, like racking leaves was one of our ideas.

But if you have suggestions and a price to charge for it, ti would be really helpful if you could tell us them. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

If you like to make money for your parents,but you get an allowance from them. Just save your money you get from them and buy them something real nice for them. You don't have to work for it unless you have to work for your allowance.If you like to make extra money,you can mow yards or work for the elderly to clean their homes like the dishes,dusting,and vacuum the floor for them something they can't do for them selves. You can charge $15 to $20 something like that. Hope this helps you out.

Answer 2

Our neighbor boys printed up a one page flyer offering to do odd jobs around the house, mow, rake, weed, spade garden, move furniture, pet sit, clean garage, clean gutters, run errands, etc. They included their names, ages, address, and phone number. We have used them a LOT and several other neighbors also have. Good luck.

Answer 3

if your trying to save money for your parents...start by not having an allowance....but if that's not what your talking about try dog walking or pet sitting...one of my little cousins does that....she does pretty good...of course my sister-in-law screens every person who inquires about her walking their dog.....but most of the things she has she has paid for herself...
