- the best thing I could find at that age was mowing peoples lawns and watching peoples pets while on vacation, that kind of thing. I figure you've already thought of that, but when I was 14 that was the best I could could come up with. It sucks but you'll be 15 in less than a year at which point you can get a real job with a permit, I think (and that is easy to get).
- There's so much you can do. Carry groceries or bag groceries, mow lawns, cut bushes, wash cars/trucks, babysit, wash windows, painting, and shoveling snow (I'm from chicago so it's snows here).
- You can babysit if you are into that. I used to take a neighbors kids down to the park 2 times a week because they didn't have the time to go themselves. Or you can help people with small things, especially older people, or business type people. Older people may need help with yard work, or grocery shopping. If you live close to a store and can pick up groceries you could probably make some good money from people who are not able to get to the store, either because they are older and it is hard for them, or because they are just too busy and they are willing to pay someone else to run errands. I know I can always use help with laundry and yard work. I don't know how small your town is, but it might work. Also during Holidays you can offer decorating services. I read online about a company that makes really good money with yard and house decorations, especially during Christmas, but 4th of July should be good too. Of course they provided decorations also, but you should still be able to do this. Many people don't have the time to do that, but would like to. Mowing lawns, raking leaves, scrubbing driveways, sweeping sidewalks, etc. all old fashioned teen jobs in the neighborhood. Maybe there is a local business, such as an automotive shop, pet store, etc. where you can apprentice. I think you have to be 16 to get a real part time job, but there are many places you can help out at for some extra cash. We have an auto shop and a young kid used to come around and sweep, mop, put away oil, etc. The gas station next door has a guy that comes around a few times a week and sweeps by the pumps, empties the trash, cleans the bathrooms. It's little extra work that a business doesn't have enough of to hire someone, but could use a hand every now and then. You can learn alot of stuff and get some money too. You could wash dogs, walk dogs, clean up dog pooh lol. It depends on what you are interested in doing, but random stuff like that. Pass out some flyers, you can get a bunch of them for just a few bucks printed at a printshop after designing it on your computer. Put them around the neighboor hood and offer your services, whatever you are willing to do. Once you get a few customers they will probably mention you to other neighbors as well. As for price, I would just set it around 5 dollars an hour, after all you can't get min wage since you are not paying taxes and such, so 5 dollars is good for work like this. Or you can have people give you prices, like I'll pay you 30 dollars to decorate my yard and you can decide if you want to do it or not.
- Well there is a sure way to make money online and I do hope that you consider it: Well there are lots of scams there and I did try out many "paid programs" and ended up getting scammed. I got so angry that I left looking for any more opportunities. Then I came across people saying that they are getting paid for online programs and once again I started researching and I am happy to say that I have earned $19.09 from http://www.mylot.com/?ref=vampirestonez. It is a legit site and I can guarantee it because I have gotten paid from that and if you wish you can ask me for more details. It is very easy to use as it, it is a forum like Yahoo Answers but unlike Yahoo Answers you get paid for asking and answering questions! Yes, it may sound too good to be true but I can only say that try it, you have nothing to lose and I am sure you will thank me for this. But if you do register at that site then you will also need to have an E-gold account because all your payments will be transferred there and then there are number of option to get the payments like check, money order, bank wire, western union etc. To register for E-gold please visit http://www.e-gold.com/e-gold.asp?cid=3956994. I had been using Yahoo Answers for a long time as you can see my level but I now use it very rarely because as you may know that the more traffic to a site, the more the site earns. Yahoo Answers earns a lot but does not share anything with it's users as for myLot, they do! If you have any questions just leave me a message here or on myLot and I will personally try my level best to guide you to the way to getting some decent income. Wish you all the best to your success : ) Ps: The good thing about that program is that if you can get your friends to join it, you will definatley earn 25% of what they earn! mylot pays for this ofcourse and no money will be deducted from your friend(s) account as well.
