Some ideas:\n\nYou and a couple of other guys can start a sort of babysitting/big brothers business.  If you have a lot of younger boys in your area that are latch key kids or live in a single parent home or simply have 2 parents that both work you can charge per hour or day, pick them up at school, help them or monitor them with homework then "hang out" play ball, hit the park, ride bikes or play video games. \n\nIf your school doesnt have vending machines or the vending machines offer limited choices you can buy candy in bulk (for a discount price) at Sams Club or Costcos or BJ's (depending on what part of the country you live in) and resell them to kids at school (of course for a profit).\n\nYou can create "business cards" on your computer (go to staples or Office Max and buy a pack, visit the website www.avery.com or www.staples.com and use their free business card software to create them.  You can bike or walk around your area and hand these out...simple is good. Your name and number (only people you know and ask your parents permission FIRST) offer yard work, car washing, help with homework, that sort of thing)\n\nAsk you parents if they have or can create an ebay account so that you can sell things, then go through all of your old stuff and ask your friends to go through all of their stuff as well.  You can sell old video games, videos, cd's, sports equipment and clothing.   If you do sell something of a friends deduct the listing price (unless they paid that upfront) and deduct 5-15% of the final profit for yourself.\n\nYou can use the same idea above and have a yard sale and let all of your friends know, especially if they have complimented stuff you own.\n\nThe links below are some other ideas for teens in business for themselves.\n\nBest of Luck.

My son is thirteen. He mows lawns to make money, and he can make alot of it in a pretty short amount of time. Definately get permission from a parent or guardian first though.

I'm sure a 13 year old can find many jobs in Alabama. I doubt any of them would be legal.

Define "alot."\n\nAnd, sorry to say, at 14, it is unlikely you will make a lot of money really quickly. \n\nMow lawns. Walk dogs. Wash cars. Babysit. Run errands for elderly people. And next time... think ahead and save before the need is desperate.

Plenty.  You could babysit schoolchildren afterschool "under the table".  Make crafts and sell them, offer to housesit for people, sit with sick or elderly people so their families can get out once in a while, do some laundry or housecleaning on the side, offer to garden for $, yard sales, flea markets . . . my aunt buys old jewellry dirt cheap, cleans it and resells at the flea market for 3 times what she paid.  My husband grew and sold flowers one summer . . . my sister babysits on the side.  Good luck!!

You can draw up a flyer and take it to the copy shop and make a few copies for all the houses on your street.  Do not place the flyers in the mail box as it is illegal to use the mail box for anything but US mail.  On the flyer introduce yourself, name and phone number and list the services you are available to perform.  Babysitting, cleaning baseboards and windows and mini blinds.  Sweeping washing and waxing floors and polishing, if necessary, mowing the lawn, weeding, general cleaning vacuuming, dusting, scrubbing (yes) the bathtub.  Washing the cars, walking the dog, caring for the pets while people are out of town.  Cleaning and organizing the tools and items in the garage (with the assistance of the owner).  Shoveling snow.  You name it, you might be surprised just how many people need and want some extra, affordable help.  Check with your parents about the area in which you offer your services, what you offer to do, and how much you charge.  You can also visit each neighbor and talk to them about your services.  Above all, always let your parents know where you are (phone number also) and just what task you will be performing.  Remember you are 13 years old and some tasks may not be appropriate for your age and stamina, such as moving around really heavy furniture.  Good luck in your endeavors!\nRemember to keep your prices very reasonable, i. e. $5.00 for cleaning bathtub.  I mention this task because for many older peope it is hard to do this task.  A SOS soap pad makes fast and easy work of cleaning the tub with a little dishwashing soap.  Don't use any dangerous chemicals.  And remember to always wear goggles for your eyes when mowing the lawn.  Keep safe and be happy!  And, oh, believe it or not, if you save the money, it'll end up being much more exciting than if you spend it.

The easiest way for you to make money is to work odd-jobs around your neighborhood. You and your parents already know many of these people and you can get the neighbors you know to introduce you to more.\n\nWhat are you good at? Yard-work is the most popular and probably the most profitable. Simple painting jobs can get good money, too. The best thing to do is to work really hard this first summer to learn a skill....then by next summer you'll have some good customers and be bigger and stronger, more experienced and you can make more money. Build a clientele over the next few years and work through high-school.\n\nWhen you get a customer be sure to be on-time, dressed appropriately, use your BEST manners and work hard and at a nice pace.....no slacking.\n\nAlways ask if there is anything else you can help them with and ask if there is anyone they know that needs help. Do a few extra little things for free, sometimes......people like that.\n\nYour reputation around the neighborhood will be your livelihood....so be a perfect citizen and don't mess up a good thing by getting in trouble. People don't want trouble-makers on their property and in their houses.\n\nWhen school starts find a Junior Achievement center and enroll into a group or some classes/projects.\n\nWashing dogs is good money. Washing cars is good money. Use good and PROPER soap and equipment!!!!!!!!!!\n\nIf you are VERY mature for your age you could start a small business child-sitting (no babies) or pet/house-sitting (while people are on vacation). You'll need a lot of adult supervision and guidance for these jobs but you'll grow into a steady "career".\n\nLearn to do what others don't want to do for themselves.....or can't do because of inconvenience or older age.\n\n\nBe VERY trustworthy and keep your parents informed of all of the progress you make as well as ANY PROBLEMS you have with your customers......VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!\n\n\nGood luck!!!!\n\n\nOH...........by the way. SAVE 50% of all the money you make this and EVERY SUMMER (all year for that matter)!!!!!!!\n\nPut it in the bank and do NOT spend it on games, cars, girls, vacations...........NOTHING!!!!\n\nPut it in the bank and let it grow until you can use it for a down-payment on a house.\n\nListen...........you WILL regret the day you spend that saved money......you'll remember that TeaSwami told you to save it.\n\nDo the right thing..........

i don't know about in utah, but at 14 i worked at a daycare.  It usually has to be a place where you know the owner at that age and you will be paid under the counter in cash due to child-labor laws.  I would say try talking to friends' parents about different things they could have you do at places they work.

You'll probably need a work permit, and you can get one from your school...see the counselor for one; and your parents or guardians will need to sign it.  Try the refreshment stand at your local park or swimming pool.  Or try the local newspaper for an available paper route.  \n\nOr you can do what I did when I was 14...I loaded up car washing supplies onto my brother's wagon, and travelled all over the neighborhood and washed cars (I just used their garden hoses).  I made a lot of dough, and it was all tax free!  I even made flyers and homemade business cards to hand out.  Good luck, I hope you have a profitable summer.

You don't need a job at 14. What in the hell do you need money for at that age?

There are a lot of opportunities for preteens to get work.\n\nWhat do you like to do? Base your choice on that.\n\nYou can wash cars. How about cleaning your neighbors homes? You could water and mow the lawns and feed the pets when people are gone on vacation.\n\nDo you like bikes? Make a sign to put in your neighborhood that you can clean or repair bikes. \n\nAre you creative? Make note cards and sell them to your neighbors.\n\nThink about what you enjoy and find out what you can do that fits well with what you like.

This won't be the answer you want but it's my best advice to you.  Wait until summer or until you're closer to 16.  The labor laws in most states are so restrictive on what hours you can work and what you're allowed to do that very few places will even look at your application.  Fast food isn't even the answer anymore.  My suggestion to earn money for now would be small jobs for neighbors (yard work, babysitting, etc.) or possibly tutoring if school is something you're good at.  Good luck!

At 15, fast food places are a good start. Here in northeast FL, Micky D's starts them out at about $8 an hour. (I make that much as a CSR for a Valet Garage and I am 41!) Dishwashing, grocery bagger and stable hand (if you live near any farms)is also good. There isn't a whole lot a 15yo can do, really. Most places want a valid DL or have age limitations. Hope I helped SOME.

By getting a job. That's the only way you can earn money. Now there are other ways to get money. You can win the lottery, sponge off of you parents (which is not a good idea), or do something illegal which is also not a good idea.

I started working when I was fourteen. A lot of places will not hire  you when you are thirteen, and if you have to buy a car because your  parent s won't buy you one, then you need to start saving at 14
