Everyone would like to have that. I know it's hard when you want something and can't have it but there are two things you have to learn as you grow up
1) You can't get everything you want, you have to prioritize your spending.
2) It's impossible to get money without working. Work is good for you. I'm retired and would give anything to go back to my old job. I'm glad there is work in the world, because it can be fun and it makes you independent.
When God threw Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden, He told them they would have to work now to get something to eat. But God never said that work can not be fun and fulfilling.

First, be careful. There are a lot of scams out there. I think it's great that you want to become an entrepreneur! What can you start when you're 13? Good question. If you're artistic or can write, do that. Expand on a hobby and turn it into a business. Brainstorm on services needed by your classmates and your neighborhood. Ebay, blog. Teach computers and internet to seniors. I read about one boy who started dog-sitting in his house (with Mom's permission) and turned it into a profitable kennel. My friend's husband started by selling minnows (fish bait) that he caught. He started sometime in his teen's setting up in front of the local gas station. Eventually he expanded into a popular Bait & Tackle shop. www.scottsbt.com
Read business books from the library. They'll give you some ideas and inspiration.
Good Luck!!!!!!!

At 13, it is better for you to concentrate on your studies and not thinking of earning money as i don't think your parents like the idea too. Do what a 13 years old should do and forget about earning money. The reason i am saying this is because once you make your 1st dollar, you'll want to make your 2nd dollar and this continues till the point you are totally immerse in you quest to earn money and neglect your studies. You may think you are able to control this situation but when the time comes, you won't be able to do so, you just can't resist the tempation of making extra dollar.

At 13 there really isn't much to offer except the "crap" jobs. Working from home, being on the computer without start up fees, that's legit. Forget about it! Sorry, being honest, take a crap job at least it's money. Good luck!

Baby sit. Take refree exams and refree soccer games or any other games. If you know to swim, take cpr and first aid classes and become a lifeguard. The possibilities are endless. Look at what you enjoy doing and see if you can turn it into a trade. For eg if you like music and you know how to play an instrument teach it to younger kids and you will enjoy what you do and get paid for it.
Good Luck!!

well thats a tough one at 13. Here is what I suggest. See if you can get someone to lend you some start up money. Then buy a bubble gum machine. Once you get it, ask a local restaurant/store it you can keep it in there store and they will get a cut of the money that is collected in the bubble gum machine. I know it sounds silly but it really works! Then you buy more machines....and soon it will grow! Good Luck! I admire you gumption!

thats not gonna work, if you want to get paid at 13, you're gonna have to do some physical things. When I was 13, I was helping out my dad in construction and all I got payed was 50 bucks, but you know what??? I was ok with it

Not sure about working from home. But my daughter is 13 and she gets paid for keeping score at the little league basketball tournaments.

if you really WANTED money,
you would do the things offered to you.
Like mowing lawns, babysitting, and all that "crap".
If you are 13, it's not going to get any better than that.
So apparently, you don't NEED, OR WANT, the money that badly, because you aren't willing to work for it.
