Back when I was a kid, between 7 and 17 years old, it felt like there were a bunch of ways you could make money. Not all of them are perfect, but here are a few ideas that might help, depending on what your parents allow.
1. Online surveys: Some websites will pay people to answer little questionnaires, and sure, some of them are aimed at kids as well. Just keep in mind to check with your parents first, before you even try to sign up, because the rules can be different in a lot of places.
2. Babysitting: If you’re dependable and you can calmly deal with children, then babysitting can be a pretty solid option. You could start by asking relatives, cousins, or close friends, and then later you can expand your network little by little from there.
3. Dog walking: A lot of people are kind of tied up during the day and don’t really have the time to walk their dogs. You could offer to walk their dogs for them and, in the process, make some extra money too.
4. Pet sitting: If you really like animals, you can suggest pet sitting to your neighbours or to family friends who are travelling and out of town.
5. Yard work: You can offer to help with yard work for your neighbours, like mowing lawns, raking leaves, or even shovelling snow in the winter.
6. Lemonade stand: Putting up a lemonade stand in your neighbourhood can be a fun and also pretty profitable way to earn money during the summer months.
7. Selling crafts: If you’re creative or hands-on, you can sell your crafts online or at local markets and fairs.
8. Car washing: You can offer to wash your neighbour's car for a small fee.
9. Tutoring: If you’re good at a certain subject, you might offer tutoring to younger kids in your area.
10. House cleaning: Offer to clean your neighbour's home for pay, and keep it simple and neat.
Just remember, always ask your parents for permission and guidance before you start any money-making thing. And also, stay responsible and professional in whatever you do.
