im 14 and i've been wanting a laptop forever. i have only 100 dollars and the macbooks [cheapest one] is $1,099.
i don't know what to do to earn the money.
personally, my mom is kinda in debt right now so i can't really ask her for a lot of money and my dad isn't rich either, so i have to raise it on my own.
i don't really like to babysit so idk what else to do. im going to set out some flyers for dog walking but i think that i should do some more things. ohh, and im homeschooled so i can do stuff during the day, too. if you have any ideas for me...please share!!! im very desperite.
thanks so much.

You're in luck. Being that its autumn, you can offer to rake your neighbors' yards, and come December/January you can offer to shovel their sidewalks/driveways/steps. This is especially lucritive if the majority of your neighbors are older, or have little to no time to do it themselves. Companies that are contracted to do both of these things charge people an arm and a leg, usually..and I'm sure your neighbors will be happy to hire you instead Even if they pay you $20 for each job, its still WAAAAAAAAY cheaper than hiring a pro, and I'm sure you'd do an extra nice job, too. (you wouldn't want them to yell about you to your mom, would you?) I did these things as a kid, and could really clean up! Good luck!

Some ideas to earn extra money:
1. Tutoring students
2. Using skills you have
3. MLM businesses
Personally, an internet business is an easy way to create a passive income because:
1. Require small to zero capital
2. Get started right away and easily
3. Work from home or anywhere in the world as long as there is an internet connection
4. Has unlimited potential to earn money
5. No age or education requirements
6. Doesn't have to have a company
What you need to do is to learn about the internet business as much as possible to discover whether it is for you and what your strategy is. There is free information around.
Good luck.

I've tried this site out and it's really good. I looked for others but this is the best one. I suggest trying it out. I'm 13 and this has been getting me so much money, like 300
$ a month by doing nothing. I also babysit and that gets me money to and I almost have enough to get the laptop I need and it's only been a month :) So I suggest trying it out :)

$1100 is a lot of money, especially for a 14 year old. You're going to have to work hard to get that much money.
On that flyer for dog walking, you might think of adding other odd jobs like raking leaves, shoveling snow, mowing grass, cleaning out garages, washing cars ...

Wash dishes at any restaurant for $3.00 USD per hour and take only cash at the end of the day.
