What can a 12 year old do to make some money?

Question

I'm saving up money to get more clothes, but there's nothing out there for me to do! I've tried lemonade selling, desperately, and made 5 dollars. I went to my aunts garrage sale and made another 5 dollars on old toys from when I was younger. I really can't find a job, since I'm too young, and for most things online, you have to be 13. My parents are only going to buy me things for my birthday and christmas, both in december, after I finish school shopping, but my parents disagree with the clothes I want to buy, and only take me to shops that are "cheap". Is there anything I can do, or should I just give up now? Is there really a possibility I can make money?

Answer 5

Have you tried babysitting or being a mothers helper, where you help a mother who is home by watching her children while she does stuff that needs to be done around the house. Offer to pull weeds or do yard work. Shock your parents by asking them what you could do for them to earn money around your own home. Do you know how to iron, if so offer to iron shirts.

Is there an elderly person in your neighborhood who might pay you for some house keeping or help with the laundry. Look on the bulletin boards of grocery stores, they sometimes have help wanted notices. Do you have friends going on vacation? Ask them if you could care for their pets, or water the plants etc. while they are gone. I was paid $10.00 a day to care for a friends pets so she didn't have to board them while she was gone.

Hope this gives you a few ideas of what you can do.
