I have an 11 year old son who wanted to earn  money over the summer, he got a paper route, put up fliers advertising he would help with yard work and general clean up.  He also went to his relatives and let them know he was available for any odd jobs they might have for him.  Good luck.

Well, you can certainly begin working at age 14 to make cash. My advice is twofold. First, all the time you spend "making cash" now may have a detrminetal effect on your future. You should be studying, thinking, learning at your age. Doing this instead of some pointless fast food job will ensure that you make real money in the future, when you're older. Second, if you do want to make money now, don't look for a job. Figure out how you can start your own business. Become an entreprenuer. This is where the real money is, and being able to say you were a teen CEO always looks good on the resume.

Babysitting, paper route, lawn mowing, teaching little kids how to use the computer, house or apartment cleaning, camp counselor and maybe tutor. Good luck. Hope you make a ton of money.

If your in school, I'd suggest car washes, or allowances, or a job. A summer job could get you some quick money working $5 an hour just lawn mowing or something. Do something old school and simple. Just don't do a lemonade stand. It's a waste of time.

It takes a lot of work and persistence to make money on the internet.  I have been investigating and working on various online business ideas for several years. I have learned a lot and am getting much closer to making a living online, but have not reached my goals yet. \n\nMy advice is to start reading as much free information you can on starting an online business. Then find something you have passion for and go for it. You might fail the first time, but if you have persistence you might one day make something of it. You can read more about my business experiences in the source site. \n\nAlso, I will give you this quick plan to get you headed in the right direction:\n\n1. Write down all the things you enjoy doing (try to make it least 10-20 things)\n2. Write down all the things you think you are good at.\n3. Have your close friends and family write down all the things they think you are good at. \n4. Take these lists and find the top 2-5 things that you enjoy doing and that you and your friends think you are good at.\n5. Decide which one of these 5 things you can make the most money from and/or which one of these things you can make money the fastest from and see if there is a market for it. \n\nStart a website or blog in that general area. \n\nIt's a good technique to find a niche to start your online business in. Just remember there are few overnight sensations. It takes hard work and persistence to make money.\n\nAll the best,\nGeorge

hustle...... and i dont mean drugs.  Gotta be smart about yourself and stay on your feet, get knocked down get right back up.\n\nThere's a million things you can do, just put your mind to it.\n\nStart your own buisness.  You can sell just about anything.\n\nJust remember everyone has to start somewhere, so its ok at your age to work at the grocery store, or in fast food.  Save your money and find a niche in something where you can buy or obtain lots of a certain product at a cheap cost and sell it at a price of 4 or more times what you own it for. Thats called self employment, be your own boss. Just remember, if you get lazy.... youre gonna lose money. And no matter how much you make.... stay in school.\n\nIf you want a good life. learn how to talk to and treat people. Sell yourself (not for sex), but who you are.  If you earn a good reputation people will trust you and buy anything from you.\n\nHints for things to look into:\n\nLearn how to detail cars.  Detailing materials (professional ones) when you buy them in wholesale quantities can be a little expensive at first.  Say you invest 300 dollars in materials but are able to do ten cars with that.  Labor is what you mostly put into it and if you figure you can charge anywhere from $60 to $180 a car (depending on quality) for a job that takes you one to two hours to do.\n\nCleaning buisness: I had a friend who just registered himself (tax id # and everything is not much) as a Cleaning buisness and went out and got contracts for cleaning.  He would go into office buildings and dump out all the office trash cans in a building and do spot vacuums in some offices.  One of these was a $24,000/yr contract for a three story building that only took him about 3-4 hours in a day to do, naturally it was all done after 5pm when everyone left the building. all he bought was trash bags, a water spray bottle and a vacuum cleaner.\n\nTurning wrenches: Ok, this gets a little messy and a bit technical but nowadays you can find most stuff and schematics that you need online, and you can ask any mechanic buddies and theyll tell you what to charge. labor fees normally go $55 to $75 an hour depending on what you do.  Learn how to fix your friends cars. and you wont have to worry about yours that much.\n\nSell stuff on E-Bay or from: You can buy stuff cheap on ebay and sell it back to people you know or general public in your area.  Take computers and laptops for instance.  that stuff goes for dirt cheap on there, buy good used or even fix it up yourself.  Then sell it to people in your area good used condition no warranty no take backs, tell them up front, theyll understand.  Really, think of how many people you know that say i would like this or that but dont want to buy it new. You can turn a small profit from home.\n\nwell, get out there an work!\n\np.s. gimme my ten points, i didnt do all this typing for nothing. I WORKED FOR IT!

There are a lot of ways to make money, with little to no skill requirements.\n\nPick flax.  At level 10 Crafting you can spin it into Bowstrings, which sell for 150-170gp each.

Unfortunately fast and money making online are two seperate entities.\n\nThis has been the focus of my research for the last year. In the process I have picked up many good resources. You can view these to learn about how it is possible to make a living online. It can be very rewarding, but be aware that it is definately not easy, and usually not fast.\n\nHere are what I have found to be some of the most helpful learning resources:\n\nhttp://www.associateprograms.com - affiliate specifically \nhttp://www.mikes-marketing-tools.com/marketing-forum/\nhttp://www.warriorforum.com\nhttp://www.selfstartersweeklytips.com\nhttp://www.instantgurublog.com\nhttp://www.freesohojobs.com\nhttp://www.wahm.com\nhttp://www.webmasterworld.com\nhttp://www.im4newbies.com/\nhttp://www.jensense.com/\n\nHere are links to some tutorials and misc free info:\nAffiliate masters course - http://www.selfstartersweeklytips.com/affiliatesuccess.htm\nhttp://www.searchengineworld.com/misc/guide.htm\nhttp://www.thegaryhalbertletter.com\nhttp://www.selfstartersweeklytips.com/free/ebooks.htm\nhttps://www.google.com/support/adsense?gsessionid=-AkFY9GGZJo\n\nThat should be more than enough to get you started, if you're interested. I can tell you from my experience, it is worth the effort it requires.\n\nGoodluck, and may you find success in whatever you pursue!

depends on your talents.  \n\nBaybsitting, fast-food, retail store.  \n\nOr maybe you could try to find something a bit more unique that you and you alone are good at and try to self-promote that as a small summer business.\n\nThere is a high school kid in my neighborhood that is teaching the little kids in the neighborhood how to play bass guitar for a hour/day 3 days/week.  He talked to all the parents and they are paying him for it.  Pretty good $$$ from what he tells me.\n\nTry to find something like that.

If you are in the USA you have to be 14 (and even then you need a parent's / guardian's permition ... a work per-mit)\n\nAlthough, I have heard that a 2nd grader started their own biz by selling science kits over the internet. That got all over the news, it was the little boy's idea and is his own biz, and that is legal in the USA. So if you want to do that, just be creative... and don't be afraid to ask for help. And don't buy into the nonsense that ALL businesses need tons of $$$ to start. Come on it was a 2nd grader, what money did he have to start with?!? A child's allowence that's what LOL. So anyone can do it.\n\nOk yeah, you could do a paper rout...\nmy BF sold candy at his school when he was little, he said he made a killin' (wish he would of kept that money all these years LOL)\n\n(P.S. ignore the illigal worker comment made by a previous person, it's bad not only that it may hurt you... getting paid under the table means you are more easyly exploitable. So be forwarnd)\n\nGood luck.\n::: Peace :::

There are many businesses who started with so little yet grew to become good income vehicles down the road. From the article "How to Start a Business with Little Cash" here are some tips on how you can start a business and earn more money even if you are short of cash today:\n\n1. Find a business that you can start for little money (e.g. an errand business where your main cost is telephone and gasoline is easier to start than starting a Subway franchise)\n\n2. Consider your time and effort - if you have little cash, you may have to work harder for the money because you will have no resource to outsource or employ others to do certain tasks for you; or you have no money to buy equipment so you can only do certain things the long way\n\n3. Get your creative juices flowing. With no money, the only thing you have is your imagination. Be creative and find ways to get things done \n\n4. Be prepared to do all the work yourself - from doing your business plan, finding financing, writing emails, shipping and handling, marketing or whatever processes your business requires. \n\n5. Be prepared to invite investors - you may need financing help from someone down the road so be prepared to share some of the pie.

There are many different ways. Playing the lottery, reading self help books, applying for financial aid and going to college. It just depends on what he wants to do to get it done. There are really no quick ways to do this it takes time and patience so he shouldn't waste his money on those get rich quick schemes because they dont really work.  Or he could go into the real estate business buying cheap houses and cars that have been seized and foreclosed and fix them up and sell them for more so he can make a profit off of it.

for eleven years old you cannot work to earn, like raking leaves pet sitting or cleaning for it will be illegal for a minor to work, all i can suggest is that you can make or buy pretty things and re sale to your classmate or friends,  and that is trading business. you can start to find sale pencil, accessories, stationary etc. then add then sell to regular price. but make sure to know the taste of your friends.......\n\nGood luck!
