Answer 1

you could create things if you are craft and sell them in your neighborhood

or you could do the classic sell lemonade thing...lol

or you could offer your services, like raking, mowing, ect.

Answer 2

When I was 12-13 I started a pet sitting and walking business.  Many people had dogs they just didn't have the time to play with.  I also would offer to babysit people's kids while they were home - so they could get house or yard work done - you just have to play ball in the yard with them, ride bikes, teach them sports, run throught the sprinkler etc, keep them busy for a few hours.  this is fall - offer to clean neighbor's gutters, mow lawns, clean out garages,  be sure to leave tools etc neat and clean, people will refer you to other friends

Answer 3

babysitting

mowing the neighbour's lawn

cleaning out someone's garage/basement/attic

cleaning someone's car (inside and out)

delivering newspapers/flyers

If your parents don't give you money, maybe try to sit down and have a compromise with them. Come up with a chore schedule and say you are willing to do it once a week (every Saturday, for example) if they give you $10. They probably just don't want to hand you money for "free." But if you show you are willing to work for it, they might see you are trying to be responsible and reward you for your actions.

Answer 5

paper run, wash cars, mow lawns

Answer 6

You shouldn't be too young for a paper round, no?

Under a parents' name or credit card details, try selling items on ebay etc

Answer 7

do you have youth employment service at your school or at your local high school ? you can try getting a job throught them since they would have a list of odd jobs you can apply for.  

Answer 8

Lol. . . . make a lemonade stand but you might not get alot of business.  Or work for someone in your family. I thought I had a clue but right now I dont.

Answer 9

I have a paper round and I babysit my little cousin. Ask your family and friends if they need you to look after any cousins, brothers, sisters etc. That is, if you dont mind kids.

If you want a paper round contact your local news agents or local newspaper company. Theres usually jobs going. and if you dont have a bank account then get your parents to register in there name, you do the job then get them to get the money out of their accounts and give it to you.

Also you could put out flyers around your neighbourhood or letters through mailboxes etc stating what jobs your willing to do.

Answer 10

You can post an ad on Craigslist for an evening or weekend babysitter available. That's where I found my last sitter.

Or you can make jewelry out of some beads, christmas ornaments, etc. and sell those online (many auction sites).

Have a garage sale and get rid of some junk that is in your closet or under your bed?

Instead of a car wash, try a dog wash?!?! I know I would pay someone to wash my mutt! That is a job that no one really wants to do. You could take it another step further and offer p**p Scoop services for dog owners in your neighborhood. We used to pay $15/week for a guy to come scoop the dog p**p out of our yard every Saturday.
