This post on "How to Make Money", is written to help teens or tweens make money at a young age. This is how I earn my money. Well a lot of kids get paid allowance, my allowance is optional in a way. We have a chart that lists things like this: "Load of laundry- $1, Sweep house- $1, Clean bathroom- $1". So if I want to make a dollar, I have to complete one of the tasks on that list, mark it on a sheet of paper, and get paid that dollar. If you don't get paid in any allowance type way like that, here are some easy ideas to help you gain some money.
1. Bake sale
Get together some friends to help you bake some cookies, cupcakes, lemonade, etc. Put up some signs around you neighborhood, school, and hand out flyers at your church.
2. Babysit
Take a babysitting course (optional), then get the word out that you are available for babysitting.
3. Sell crafts
Make some neat bracelets, cards, notebooks, and sell them at you social events.
4. Car wash
Put car washing posters up around your neighborhood and offer to wash neighbors car.
5. Tutor
If you have good grades and do very well in school, offer to tutor students younger then you.
6. Yard Sale
Put together all your old things and sell them in a yard sale, garage sale, flee market.
7. Braid Hair
If you do really well with fixing hair, offer to do your friends and other's hair for homecoming, dances, events, or just for fun.
8. Photography
Take peoples photos, create mini photo shoots for your friends and others to sell the photos you take.
9. Do a Task
Ask your family members (parents, grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, etc.), if there are any cleaning jobs you can do around their house or your house for money.
10. Create a Business
Decorate t-shirts with your friends and sell those as a business, create a "Party Planner" business with your friends, a "Painting" business and draw pictures of people for them. Be creative.
Some of these ideas have come from a very helpful book called "A Girl's Guide to Money", it's an American Girl book my sisters and I have.
