I think fish would be difficult to sell unless they are quite exotic, and here is a website which you may find useful http://poorerthanyou.com/2007/08/09/kid-business-making-money-at-a-young-age/

Nagesh answers:

There’s no such thing as fast money…seriously you’re just a kid you’ll be making minimum wage at any job you apply for. Apply at every store you can, not just McDonald’s.
Otherwise try babysitting, pet sitting, dog walking, yard work, etc.

You seem pretty picky. And when trying to make money you can’t be picky. There are adults that are struggling and would be GLAD to mow someones lawn for a few extra bucks. There’s no such thing as “too short to handle a lawn mower”. I’ve mowed my lawn since I was like 7 or 8. Seems like excuses because you don’t want to do the dirty work. Money is money, take what you can get.

Nagesh answers:

Ooh, paper flowers, name bracelets, or you can sell candy like buy a whole pack and then sell each candy a dollar each.

Nagesh answers:

If you don’t have time then you can’t do commission jobs because that requires time.
You also can’t do part time job because of time.
There are other things but it will take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years to get to the level of $1000 per month.
At start you may get $100 per month.
Things you can do are:
1. Buy rental properties with nothing down (if you have good credit) and see to it that you get positive cash flow. An average size property will give $100 cash flow after paying all bills.
2. Create niche based websites in your free time or when kids go to sleep. Read about adsenses and affiliate marketing. Each website will give about $100 per month.
3. Get knowledge for options in stock market and buy and sell options for money. (caution: get knowledge first)
4. Buy things on liquidation sale and sell it on ebay.
5. Write a book in next one year and then sell it.

One of the most common questions on “Yahoo Answers” comes from young people looking for ways to make money. I totally understand the question and the various responses with the traditional answers of babysitting, online surveys, lemonade stands, paper routes, etc. While the traditional ways of making money may work for some people, they certainly won’t work for everyone so it’s time to think outside the box and dare to be different.

In most states it’s illegal to hire minors (under a certain age) for employment. For some states that is somewhere between 14 and 18 depending on the job, the duties and the products or services being sold. The best resource for your situation is a chat with your local school’s guidance officer or Board of Education. These resources will be able to help you get a work permit, explain the laws and rules, and sometimes help you find employers that are seeking part-time student help. Let’s face it… it won’t hurt to ask.

Now for those who aren’t able to legally work for an employer, don’t give up! You can, at any age, work for yourself and/or your parents. There are limitations such as selling drugs, alcohol, body parts and other products but that leaves a lot of things that you CAN sell and/or services that you can provide.

Your local library is a great resource. Check out books like “Fast Cash for Kids” by Bonnie & Noel Drew. Talk to the Librarian for other referrals. You might like “The Richest Kids in America” by Mark Vincent Hansen… what a great book!!!

Check out the services of Junior Achievements at http://www.ja.org. Junior Achievements is a legitimate organization that works with teen entrepreneurs. You just might “click” with their website.

You will need to do a little homework before just dashing into a business of your own. You will want to find out about local laws and licensing. You might want to learn a little about marketing, accounting, selling techniques, advertising, taxes, etc.

Here are some ideas for money making that you may or may not have thought about for yourself… washing windows, recycling, teaching, tutoring, writing, crafts, selling online, fixing and selling skateboards or bicycles, refinishing furniture, cooking or baking, washing cars, growing and selling flowers or spices or even goldfish, printing tshirts or calendars, selling bumper stickers, energy efficient lightbulbs or programmable thermostats, shampooing carpeting, making and selling non toxic cleaning products, selling books or music or video games, or performing as a clown or other character or … as you can see the list goes on and on.

It’s really important to DO something to get your business started. It’s great to think about things and plan how you’ll spend your money once you earn it but you’ve got to start doing something in order to take action. Learn how to write a business plan and then concentrate on writing it. You can’t reach success if you can’t describe it.

I started working at 12 selling calendars door to door from fall to winter every year and I raked in a lot of money just fifty cents at a time. But I didn’t sit back waiting for the money to find me and you shouldn’t either. It’s time to learn about yourself, your industry, your customers, your suppliers and your business.

Every journey begins with a single step.

A few – http://www.strange-frontier.com/money.html – but I strongly suggest that you don’t rush into anything, as legimit online jobs will take time to get sorted out and up and running… And they tend to take a while to pay out 😛 For example Amazon takes about 4 months to pay me my money, while google adsense takes about 1 month. But both of them *do* pay out which is very important of course! 🙂

For google adsense and the Amazon programs, you’ll need a website or blogger – http://www.blooger.com/ is free and they let you add your own google adsense ads to your blog. Sell things via ebay? Though you’ll proberly need to have a good at ebay to see what you’d be able to sell and have a good look at what sells well too of course.

Nagesh answers:

Well, you could do any of those self employed businesses like Mary Kay, Avon, Creative Memories, Pampered Chef, Home Interiors. Or you can do those mail monitor ones where you get mail from the post office and mark the condition it is in. But you don’t make a whole lot of money doing that. You could do those surveys online or the companies that you make phone calls for from your home. Or the secret shoppers jobs if you like to shop. That’s all I can think of at the moment…..

Nagesh answers:

Your only legit option is to run a business selling real products or services.period.

Nagesh answers:

Http://cashcratereview.com Its what I do and it’s worked out pretty well. What you have to do is complete surveys and offers for companies that want the public’s opinion. No payment from you is ever required, not to sign up, not EVER.

The sites don’t get paid directly from you, but when you complete an offer or survey, they also get paid a small portion of what you earned yourself. For example, if you complete a survey about computers let’s say, you would earn maybe $2 and the web site itself would recieve $0.50 from the company also for getting you to complete the survey. These surveys take little time at all, most taking up less than even 1 or 2 minutes of your time.

They don’t need any information other than your name, email address and your home address. Yup, that is all. No credit card information, no banking information, nothing like that. All they require is your name and address so that your cheque can be sent to your home every month.

Personally I have been a member of these websites, along with thousands of other satisfied users, for approximately 1.5 years now and have earned well over $8600 by working in my spare time. This web site has been great to me, also the members and administrator are very friendly, and are always there to help you with a question or problem you may be having. I give you my word that they pay.

Nagesh answers:

I was looking for the same thing and I found a job. Its at a place called Alpine Access. It is a Colorado based company, so what you do is you take customer service calls from home. I work from 6AM to 11AM only mon-fri and its great 🙂 A lot eadier with a new baby at home. I suggest you go to alpineaccess.com and fill out an application. Good Luck and I hope that I helped 🙂 I make 8 dollars per hour but it really depends on which position you get. The advertisement in the newspaper here said that you can make anywhere between 8 and 12 dollars an hour.

Nagesh answers:

If you have a pay pal account you already know that when you set it up you had to connect it to your bank account. If you are only 16 how do you have a bank account? Ask your parents if this is OK for you to be doing… Let them help you with all your financial needs until you are mature enough to make those decisions for your self…Time goes by fast… Before you know it you will be 30 wondering what happened to being 16. : )

Nagesh answers:

Paypal can setup straight from your savings or checking. From “profile”, there is add or edit bank account, then just enter the routing number and account. This usually is even faster. You shouldn’t need to add a credit card, you can use your debt card in place of it, under credit card number.

May I suggest my site? Http://www.freemoneyonpaypal.webs.com It has some great GPT sites there in which you can earn fast money. My site includes payment proofs of all the sites that have been reviewed by myself so you know that they do really pay you. Just take a look http://www.freemoneyonpaypal.webs.com

Nagesh answers:

If you have a paypal account, you can buy things in three ways –
1. Use your paypal balance that is sitting in the online account.
2. Use your credit card that is linked to your PP account.
3. Pay with an echeck, which will debit the money out of your checking account associated with the PP account.

You specifically do not have to put money in the PP online account, however, if you do, it does make the payment process faster.

Thanks for reading!

Nagesh answers:

PayPal doesn’t work with Western Union, so forget that idea. You can see if you are eligible for a PayPal Debit Card. If you can get that then you can get the money out via an ATM machine or you can use the card to make purchases in stores. OR you can request to have a check mailed to you.

FYI-both of these options will take you several days, even a couple weeks. I don’t know what you mean by your bank account is “down”, but if you have a decent banking history, it would be a lot faster for you to open a 2nd bank account and then transfer the money into it. You can usually open a bank account online and it would only take a couple days.

Nagesh answers:

Hmm got any items that you will no longer miss or want any more? Maybe sort them out and do a yard sale for all the items that you don’t want and sell them off to people who will then give you money in hand 🙂
Got any games that you no longer play on any more? Got any games that you have finished from start to end? You could sell them off and get money in for your self cash in hand.
You will then have more space in your bedroom to put new items in if you are thinking of buying something else that is worth having.

Look at my profile, and visit the site under “about me”…sign up there….here is some information about the site:

This is a site from which you are given the chance to earn money. What you have to do is complete surveys and offers for companies that want the public’s opinion. By doing this, you are able to earn money very easily for simply giving your opinion or trying out sample products. This is a great service that allows one to work from home, on their spare time, at their leisure, and still bring in a nice sum of money every month. People have made up to $800 easily on this site by just working on it in their spare time. It is not going to replace a real job’s salary, but it is a very nice bonus. There are also many features on this web site, such as contests and special surveys, from which you can redeem extra prizes that would be sent to you with your monthly cheque, such as iPods, Xbox 360s, gift certificates, and much more.

Cheques are sent monthly, and usually arrive about a week or a week and a half into the next month. No payment from you is ever required, not to sign up, not EVER. Unlike other sites that try to scam people out of their money, this site never requires you to pay them.

“If the site doesn’t get paid from me, then why would they have this service going?” – The site doesn’t get paid directly from you, but when you complete an offer or survey, they also get paid a small portion of what you earned yourself. For example, if you complete a survey about computers let’s say, you would earn maybe $2 and the web site itself would recieve $0.50 from the company also for getting you to complete the survey. These surveys take little time at all, most taking up less than even 2 or 3 minutes of your time.

Fraud is also a big deal on the Internet these days, and this site recognizes that. That is why they ask for ONLY three bits of information: Your name, email address and your home address. Yup, that is all. No credit card information, no banking information, nothing like that. All they require is your name and address so that your cheque can be sent to your home every month. Your email address is only required to confirm that you have done the offers and surveys. Fortunately, no spam mail or junk mail is ever sent out by this site and your information is never shared with any other company.

Personally I have been a member of this website, along with thousands of others, for approximately 1 year now and have earned well over $2500 by working in my spare time. This web site has been great to me, also the members and administrator are very friendly, and are always there to help you with a question or problem you may be having. So far, I’ve listed only positives about this site, because I can’t think of a single negative thing about it. Earn money in your spare time, at no cost to you…Simple!

Nagesh answers:

Yes, you can earn money online but it is not quick or easy. Ad posting only pays if someone follows your ad, makes a purchase and you receive the commission. Data entry is pretty much non-existent due to better computers these days, companies just have the applicant fill out the online form instead of a paper one, so there is no need to pay anyone to transfer data from paper to computer. There are a few legit survey companies on the internet.

Of course, the legit ones receive hundreds of applicants each week, so you need to prove to them that you are committed. You need to take the time to fill out each and every one of the non-paying surveys you are sent, then you are entered into a sweepstakes drawing. Once you have filled out enough of those non-paying ones and the survey site owner has decided you are going to stick around, you will be sent the surveys that pay cash. This isn’t a get-rich-quick option. It will take time and energy to build your reputation with the survey site. Here are two of my favorites.

Good luck.

Completely ignore the first idiot poster, I Chew My Food. DO NOT reply to his email otherwise you may end up with loads of spam later!
As you are only 13 you are really limited to what kind of work you can do unfortunately. The only options opened to your age group are paper rounds, dog walking or caring for animals throughout the day times or weekend, car washing, doing shopping for elderly neighbours, chores and house work for your parents or family, baby sitting. You could ask an adult if they are having a car boot and ask to tag along and sell things you don’t need anymore as this is far quicker to sell than ebay! That would bring in extra money as my son did this and raised extra money from things he would of just given away to charity shops.
I hope you do really well. £400 is a lot of money, even some adults would find that sum hard to find in a short period of time. Good for you for wanting to earn it for yourself though.

Make babysitting flyers using the computer and put them in the library, people’s mailboxes, and grocery stores.

Drum up more business and keep a notebook to schedule when you do get a customer.

Culver’s minimum hiring age is 14 with a workers permit.

I called many stores because I am 14 looking for a job. This was the response they gave which makes me happy after looking for so long.

Find a local one go online and apply and go in store to apply or call and ask if they are hiring.

What I did was Google a bunch of business near my home and found their numbers using Google maps or their sites and I called and directly asked if they are hiring and what age do they hire at.

Try local grocery stores, pizza parlors, retail stores, fast food restaurants.

Fastest answer is often having a garage sale. Most people have plenty of junk around the house that will sell pretty well, especially if you have old kids clothes and toys you don’t need anymore.

Most legitimate work at home jobs don’t have immediate pay. They’re rather like outside the home jobs in that respect. That’s why so many people are suggesting eBay. There you get your money pretty quickly, especially if you have your PayPal account set up so that you can withdraw the money into your own account. Takes perhaps 3 days for the withdrawal, but that’s pretty quick.

Home businesses can be good, but there is obviously risk involved, in even the cheapest of businesses. It can also take time to get things going.

Honestly, I can’t think offhand of a work at home JOB that pays immediately. There are probably some that pay weekly, but I believe that most are every two weeks or monthly. Some businesses, certainly pay more quickly, such as anything online where you get paid into PayPal. But you do have to watch out for scams and really know what you’re doing to earn a decent amount of money at it.

If you’re into writing, for example, you could create your own ebook, sell it on eBay or just through PayPal, and try to make money that way. EBooks are sold daily on all kinds of topics. Just make sure there’s good value included.

Sometimes you do have to take the hard step of a night job so that you can work when your husband is at home with the kids. It’s not fun, and it’s hard on a relationship, but if the money is needed you do what you have to do.

Nagesh answers:

There is no any easy way to make money fast on internet. You need hard work to earn.Make money take hard works and times.

Nagesh answers:

Those online things are all scams.

When I was your age I tried finding money quickly too, but there’s nothing “faster” then hard work.

The first place I would try is going to local pizza shops and seeing if they need door hanger positions. It’s an easy job, they give you a huge stack of fliers and you go around putting it under people’s doors, and they’ll pay you in cash. I did that when I was your age. Just try a whole bunch of different ones (including the big name chains). Good luck. =)
