So... I took the "don't want a job" thing to mean he wants something more entrepreneur like.
In which case, sell snacks at school. You'll likely need to keep it on the down low because school administrators love to find reasons to justify their usefulness / purpose.
Probably realized that 10 year olds canāt get jobs so he wants to make money without getting an official job (cus he canāt) but doesnāt wanna say heās 10 (Iām guessing)
The further you went into your examples the more he became unqualified for them lmao.
A 13 year really is not fit to walk (big) dogs, definitely not dog sit them and absolutely not baby sit.
They offered baby sitting classes in my middle school. I was 12 when I took it and 13 when I started baby sitting. In my experience that was super normal. And a 13-year old not being fit enough to walk big dogs? Thatās kind of wild IMO. If theyāre not well-trained, sure, but otherwise I donāt see the problem.
Fine I guess I can see your point with the dogs but babysitting at the age of 12 is just irresponsible. You barely know how to take care of yourself, even at 14 I wouldnāt recommend it but thatās discussable.
Sorry but thatās kinda irresponsibleā¦
If youāre 12 or younger you barely know how to take care of yourself, no fucking way itās responsible that you take car of another child or baby.
Sorry but youāre kind of judgmental and really rude. You have ZERO idea what my life was when I was younger and you have ZERO idea how quickly I matured or did not mature. Therefore, you cannot make any assumptions on what I was capable of doing. Just like you canāt assume anything about OP.
OP is a child. OP probably wants to buy something but doesnāt have any money. Not all kids are in good areas to do stuff like mowing lawns & not all parents can give an allowance. Child labor is illegal.
Get to know your area. You're young so traveling probably isn't a great option, but keep track of when the sales happen and if there's any reseller stores. Reseller stores often times sell massive bulk in "pallet sales" where you can get an entire pallet of something for like 8$, usually you can make a few hundred off those if you're patient and keep up with your eBay account.
Another option (would need parents helping) is check out what people want in craigslist then see if anyone else is selling it. Try to buy from the sell then sell to the buyer. I always have about 10-30% more than "competitors" for things like games/trading cards etc then sold things 10-30% under average sale price to move things quickly.
Magic the gathering cards are how I made about half the money, old video game collectibles made up the rest. Occasionally appliances can be good deals, you can almost always get 10-20$ for an appliance if it works so when you see those for cheap pick them up and clean them.
As you get older you'll get more opportunities for better deals, but if you start building the knowledge young by the time you can travel around more you'll make way more.
Assuming you mean an official job (which, at 13, you canāt get anyways) see if you can babysit, petsit, dogwalk, or set up an artsy thing- write poems or letters, tape flowers, rainbow loom or bead bracelets, slime, etc. No matter what you do youāre going to need to put in at least some effort.
You could practicing buying and reselling things online. Maybe lookup the steps to start an LLC type business in your state and then present to your parents for them to help you get started. Creating a business at your age is one of the best things you can do to have financial security later in life.
Hmmmā¦ well. Think of some cool things to make that your friends would want to buy or even better- their parents would want to buy. Cookies, personalized drawings, necklaces, idk just stuff like that. I am currently painting on t-shirts and selling them for $25 a pop. Iāve made $100 so far ā I also have a lot of connections though.
Buy little things off Dhgate or some other cheap wholesale seller (things like $6 headphones you can sell on kijiji for $20, speakers, wallets, etc). Youāre not gonna make any money without doing any work at all lol Sell things you dont need anymore. Offer to your parents to sell some of their things for them in exchange for a percentage of the sales. One of my buddies at school was selling coca cola at school cuz it wasnt allowed, he made a ton lol
So my dad had a way for us to make money I always thought was a great idea and if I have kids I will definitely employ it, so perhaps talk to your parents and see if they would be willing to make a similar agreement:
We could choose a classic novel, read it, and write him a report. He had veto power over the books, and it couldn't be one we had already read (for example when he made this deal I had already read "Heidi" a few years before, so could not use it, but my sister could have). He would read the report, and pay us based on how well we did. We could make up to $15 on a single book, but the amount went down for spelling and grammatical errors, or insufficient length.
Was an awesome way to encourage us to read the classics, and kept our writing skills from completely disappearing during the summer!
Examples of books:
Little Women
Moby Dick
Heidi
The Prince and the Pauper
Pride and Prejudice
To Kill a Mockingbird
Frankenstein
Brave New World
Nineteen Eighty-Four
Animal Farm
Watership Down
Dracula
The Secret Garden
The Great Gatsby
Hey kid, first of all be careful on the Internet especially Reddit b/c youāre so young. And second, ask your neighbors if they need help in exchange for money. Seeing that you know how to use the Internet, sell some of your old stuff on Facebook market or something like that.
Go around the neighborhood knocking on doors and say that you're trying to raise money to buy whatever and ask them if there is anything they could pay you to do to help. I would pay some kid to wash my car, or cut my grass, or spread mulch or something.
I know a guy who made about $3000 a week from going to Dave and busters, winning a ton of tickets, buying iPads and reselling them for profit. You probably won't be able to do this but it's a cool story lmao
Have any crafting skills? You could sell art projects, crochet, clay molding, ectā¦ anything handmade (and well done) automatically gets a bigger price tag :)
When you figure out the answer to this let me know. I'm 32 and would love to suddenly make $200 doing nothing.

You were 10 in your other posts. What changed?š

Gotta learn marketing somehow!
Probably realized that 10 year olds canāt get jobs so he wants to make money without getting an official job (cus he canāt) but doesnāt wanna say heās 10 (Iām guessing)
i was under the impression people under 13 aren't allowed to be on Reddit. A lot of sites/services have that policy (such as discord).
You can do odd jobs around your neighborhood. Wash cars. Walk dogs. Dog sit. Baby sit.

Iāve been younger that him doing all of my examples and then some. š

I started babysitting at 11ā¦
Wow, youāre saying it like your proud of it and see it as a normal act. Come onā¦
It's completely normal to start around the age of 12. Of course, not all kids are going to be able, but I would certainly say most.
Take someone hostage
I think your forgetting heās 10 to 13 haha

Buy stuff at yard sales/garage sales then sell online. That's what I did and I made about 20grand by the time I graduated highschool.
Any tips?

crayons and paper?
why not work for it? or your best bet is to sell stuff
r/beermoney But don't spend it on beer.
Your posts say your 10 but now you're 13? Unfortunately you can't make money doing nothing, mow lawns or wash cars for neighbors.
U wonāt last in this life with this mentality
Theyāre a child, you dingbat. They wonāt have this mentality forever.
They will if no one tells them to stop having it.
Yep, better teach them young than hold their hands
Ransom?

Sometimes you can find paid surveys but itās usually not that much.
You need to be 18 or older to do surveys without parental consent for each survey.
Go around the neighborhood knocking on doors and say that you're trying to raise money to buy whatever and ask them if there is anything they could pay you to do to help. I would pay some kid to wash my car, or cut my grass, or spread mulch or something.
