Right now I'm dead broke- 20 bucks is all i have... I'm only 14 Anyone know a small job or something that would make me decent money? Like at least 150 a month?
I don't think you can legally work yet.. but you could: 1. Wash cars/your parents cars 2. Mow lawns 3. Babysit. You won't get a steady income, but just get creative with the little things.
Parents are getting divorce so there both kind apoor, they cant pay me to do anything =/ any other ideas? I live in ohio if that helps.
DELIVERY NEWSPAPERS! Thats what I did like a year ago...got $100/month, not bad. The only problem is, its DEAD HARD. I mean, you have to INSERT and CREATE the newspapers, not just deliver them. Just think of one. First, you have the overall newspaper. Then, you have like 20 different flyers which you have to stuff into the newspaper, and then you have to use a rubber band and makesure it all sticks together. Now think of doing that like 100 times (you have to do 1 per house). 3 times a week. And plus, you'll get BACK PROBLEMS and you'll start SLOUCHING. Not the best job for a young teen, but still decent money . Other than that, go on eBay and start merchanting. Or buy a guide that tells you how to make a living off eBay/internet.
lol dont do babysit crap. i know all the job clues man. also i used to do newspapers 3yrs ago and its true it gives you back injuries and its a bitch for no cash. what you do is look around for telelmarketing jobs. especailly in ohio being a big state. the big bucks for teens come from telemarketing. firstly they accept 14+ so you are good for the job. also all you do all day is sit on your ass doing absolutely nothing but holding a phone (sometimes you even get headphones, even better) and talk. In canada i get payed min wage, $8/hr. In USA im assuming its prolly ur minimum wage aswell but here is the bonus. every sale or appoitment you book they raise your price by a bit just for the month being. For instance i telemarket energy efficient windows or doors. you dont need to know squat about what ur telemarketing, they give you a script and what to say to any question the guy might have. for my job they raise me by $1/hr every sale i get. So say i book 10 appoitments in a month. prolly atleast 2 of them would be sales. thats $8 + $2 = $10/hr. 3 days per week x 3hrs per night = 9hrs per week 9hrs per week x 4 = 36hrs per month. 36 x 10/hr = $360 a month. i dont normally do as good but you always get a good $300 or so with telemarketing and they will let anybody do it. it will take a while to find though. what you have to do is whenever a telemarketer calls your house ask them if they have positions available. yes you will feel a bit dumb asking them that but it works. also just google telemarketing jobs in ur area and shit. or just ask around companies. also check your local yellow pages there are many jobs there but most of them will require 1yr + telemarketing experiance. most small companies will higher any high school student to work. hope i helped man. if you got any questions post back.
I think the delivery idea was the best, still you could do other things ! What i did was selling flowers at the summer - . -, ( i know im idiotic ). A guy gaved them away and we made approx $130 on it ! Find a job like that or merchant on e-bay.
Sell you're old toys, or games if you have any like dvds and stuff. or just ask you're aunts and gramma if they have any work you can do out there for a few bucks
Yes, paper routes is an okay job, however, it ain't easy I tell ya. During summer & spring, go around asking people if they need their lawn mowed, for maybe about $10-$15. During winter, go around asking people if they need their driveway shoved, for maybe about $15-$20.
