I'm wondering what a 14-year-old can sell because there aren't a lot of jobs available for kids this age.

lemonade stands(kinda kiddish), babysit, mow lawns, or you can get a workers permit in your town to work at certain local businesses.  Good Luck!

You might be able to earn a bit with some type of sales job if you can sell well since they're commission based.  Companies typically want either work experience or a good college degree.  So, you might have to take a low-paying job to get some experience and then apply to others after a year or more.

You can help out your neighbors.  And maybe make a few bucks at the same time.  Mow the lawn, pull weeds, walk someone's dog, clean up the dog poop in back yard, babysit, wash cars....  The last two years I wish I could find a teenager to help me out when I needed it.  And I would've gladly paid for the help.  \n\nMake some sort of flyer to pass out to the neighbors to "advertise".

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.

being 13 is a tough age... I had my first job when I was about 14 and I had to have my parent sig on a card saying I had their permission to work at that age.  I got a job as a cashier in the local market and it was really good for me.  Now since you said you didn't want to work in a "place" I would say that there isn't too much options for you... \n\nYou could be a baby sitter,  that pays pretty good for a 13 yr old and it is sometimes fun (depending on the kind of kid/s you are watching)  and then there is dog walking  - or dog grooming/bathing.  Some people would be willing to have you do it for them - especially elderly people.  \n\nYou would have to pound the pavement a little to get the word out though.  Make up flyers saying what you are offering and start posting them on the light posts all around your community.  I would laminate them so that the rain won't ruin them a week after you post them.  Then as time goes on you will get calls and if you are good at what you are offering - your customers will refer you to others and you will get more business that way.  \n\nGood luck.  \n\nBTW - not all home based businesses are a scam... if you start one yourself you can work from home - I do.  I have my own website and sell from it all over the world.  So if you are fired up to make it happen - you can!!  \n\n:)

How about holding a garage sale or selling items on eBay?  Why can't you mow lawns or do landscaping for neighbors?  Do you have any neighbors that need errands run for them?  Can you babysit?  Why not get a part-time job?  Some states will allow you to get a work permit under 16 and as long as you abide by the number of hours to which you are restricted, there shouldn't be a problem.

You could try the local newspaper office. They are always looking for kids to sell subscriptions, deliver newspapers, or other things. Also, you might want to try a workforce center in your town - they might not be able to help you given your age, but they can point you in the right direction. As for the babysitting thing, why don't you get your mom's permission and hang up flyers at your church (if you go) or at mom/dad's work (if they will allow you to do so)? It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders. Keep your head up, you'll get it. Good luck!

First make sure it's legal.\nThe labour laws vary from place to place. It's common for the minimum age of employment to be 14, and in other areas as old as 16.\n\nThis is why youth often work cutting grass, shovelling snow, delivering newspapers and babysitting... those jobs are cash jobs and no income tax is collected.\n\nOnce you verify that you are employable, decide what skills you have to offer and approach target employers directly. Chances are you are not highly trained or employable at such a young age (nor should you be!...other things are more important at this point in your life), so you may be looking at jobs such as motel housekeeping, fast food service, reception work, cashier, stock clerk, etc.\n\nOnly YOU know what skills you have to offer.\n\nGood luck.

There are several people in my organization who are only 17, and are making more than $100 a day.  Everything is done on the internet, and no-one asks your age.\n\nThis is something you could get started now, and would continue to be a suppliment to your main career indefinitely.  It could even replace your day job in the future and help you to retire really really early!\n\nEmail me if you are interested in my specific organization, or find reliable sources for several of those types of jobs at this site.

Depends what you are into. I know I wish my kids 17 & 18 yrs old would got to www.careerbuilder.com and get a job!

Try www.craigslist.com.  They let you sell almost anything.  The last I looked they don't charge to advertise either.

selling kids is illegal hehe\n\nSeriously it sounds like the eBay trading assistant program might work for you.  You could look up trading assistants in your area and ask them if they are looking for employees.  These generally will be small operations, but they will have a lot of room to expand.

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.

Well some businesses (I think Kroger) will hire fourteen year olds as the minimum hiring age.
