My kids have been doing work for people in the neighborhood since they were 10 year round.  Spring--they clean gardens, help plant new items, etc.  Summer--they mow lawns, pull weeds, water entire yards, etc.  Fall--it's raking leaves and harvesting the crops from the gardens.  Winter--shoveling snow and keeping the yards free of trash.\nThey also walked dogs, cared for other pets while people were on vacations, delivered newspapers, hauled groceries from the car to the house & helped put them away, ran errands to the post office, library and grocery store.  Pick something that is needed and that you and your parents can agree on, then ask your neighbors if they need your assistance.  AS for how much to charge for these services--my rule was simple--only take what the person is willing to give, unless it's a huge job--then ask your parents how much to charge for it, always do your best and always be on your best behavior!  By the time my oldest was 13 he had saved just about $1,000 from working a 3 block area.  Good luck!

When I was a kid I used to make money by providing services that other people didn't want to do themselves.  I would mow lawns, rake leaves, shovel snow, etc.  Although it isn't the best money in the world it's a pretty good way to start saving up at an early age.  I believe this is one of the few ways kids can make some good money these days.  It's not really safe to go door to door selling things like you could years back.

Advertise at the college. Most colleges have boards to post things on. Put on the sign that you want to sell it and how much you want. Best way to do it quick is to put O.B.O.(or best offer. I am sure there are some freshmen kids wanting to get out of the dorm. You might get a bite quick seeing as how summer is coming up!

Your school guidance counselor's office may just have the answer for you. When I was in school, I was in a program called Distributive Education. The school actually found jobs for the students in the program and even arranged transportation to and from work... how cool is that? We made money for our time worked, school credits, and received valuable business experience. Check it out!!!

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".

Selling stuff on Ebay. It's hard to find product (and nobody is willing to say what they sell). But, once you find it, it's a great full or part time job. Start by selling your kids old clothes. Take great pictures, ship fast, and you shouldn't have any problems.\n\nJust don't go through a drop shipper! Never, ever sell anything you don't have in your possession!\n\nGood luck!

You could put flyers on windsheilds for big businesses. You can bag groceries, right? You could sell your junk. You could sell stuff on EBay with a parent's help. Like baseball cards and stuff. You can ask your neighbors if they have chores for you. You could ask for an allowance. You can have a paper route. You can babysit.  I think they let kids be janitors at elementary schools, but i could be dead wrong. Also, if you like the outdoors, check with the forest service. If you like sports, go to a stadium and ask for a job. Good luck! Way to be industrious!

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!

Organize a bus tour to some place fun.  Charge more than the bus company charges.  Play games on the bus ride(bingo, raffle, etc.) to make more money.\n\nDestinations might include gambling casinos, wineries.

Babysitting \nThe American Red Cross, and some local colleges offer a babysitting course for kids to help train them to be a good babysitter. Babysitting is an excellent way for kids to earn extra spending money. \n\nDog walking \nThere are usually many dogs in any given neighborhood. Often times, their owners are not able to take them for a walk every day. This is an excellent opportunity for a child to earn some extra spending money. By offering to walk a neighbor’s dog, you can get exercise yourself and earn some money at the same time. You could even team up with a friend and walk several dogs at once. \n\nYard work \nMost adults can perform yard work but some are not able to because of physical difficulties, or because their schedules may not allow for time to do it. Pulling weeds, or mowing grass is a good way to earn some extra cash. \n\nCar wash \nMost people like to have a clean car, but do not necessarily like to wash it themselves! This is a good opportunity to make money. Make sure to get some pointers on car washing from your parents before you start. Pairing up with a friend and working as a team might be a good approach as well. \n\nGood luck!

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.

Summer camps are the best work for minors.  Otherwise you could try an ice cream shop or babysitting.
