Dark Shikari	Posted - 2006.06.17 21:59:00 - [5] Edited by: Dark Shikari on 17/06/2006 21:59:44 Fix computers. Make a flyer, pass it out to a few hundred houses, offer low rates (25-30 dollars an hour), and offer to not charge a cent for any time spent on any solution that didn't work. You'll get loads of customers. That is, if you're really good with computers. --Proud member of the [23]-- -WTB Platinum Technite, WTS Nanotransistors, Heavy Electron II, 100mn AB II-

It depends on how good your skills are...you'ed be surprised how many senior folk can't do a lot of simply things on their pc and they need people to help them.

Well apparently they have. Because I know someone who did this and earned thousands of dollars. He does the work far faster and cheaper than anyone else in the neighborhood: the cheapest other local service is 100 dollars an hour. And its not the seniors that he gets the business from either. Its everyday, normal people who aren't computer geeks. If you're good enough that you can trust yourself to work on someone else's computer, and you're professional enough that you can trust yourself to run a small business, you can do it. --Proud member of the [23]-- -WTB Platinum Technite, WTS Nanotransistors, Heavy Electron II, 100mn AB II-

Roxanna Kell	Posted - 2006.06.17 23:02:00 - [15] play lottery
Travis050	Posted - 2006.06.17 23:11:00 - [16] I cant play lottery since I have no money to begin with :X...
Nee'kita Frist	Posted - 2006.06.17 23:22:00 - [17] Be a slave to some commerical enterprise. The computer fixing thing isn't your thing, how about gardening? Much simpler, infact all you need is a book and a mower and you're pretty much sorted for gardening. All these people out there think you need shovels and stuff but for really simple gardening, replanting, mowing lawns and what not requires very little in "equipement". Plus its really nice to get out in the air and do some work and if its real sunny you get a nice tan. -------------- I'm just bitter
Travis050	Posted - 2006.06.17 23:26:00 - [18] How do I get a job for gardening though? sorry that im so clueless
Leno	Posted - 2006.06.17 23:26:00 - [19] Edited by: Leno on 17/06/2006 23:26:55 Do it old school, mow lawns This summer mow lawns and try and get as much of the business in your neighborhood by using flyers and such in all the mailboxes. Then next summer make sure to keep their business and try to gain more. Also after a year or 2 you can actually have other kids work for you. My friend did this and by his 15th birthday he had 150 houses being mowed once every 2 weeks. He charged a flat $25 a yard, kept 15 and gave the kids who worked for him 10 a yard. They did it b/c he had the monopoly on the business. As you can see 150*15=2250 every 2 weeks or over 5 grand a month for what is now nearly year round. He is now a sophomore in college and this business is paying his way thru college and then some and at this point the only work he does is keep the spreadsheet and now even has people to make the calls for him. --------------- RIP - Smoske, My Friend
Leno	Posted - 2006.06.17 23:28:00 - [20] Originally by: Travis050 How do I get a job for gardening though? sorry that im so clueless flyiers, the goofier and dumber the better. Grown ups like that and expect it from kids --------------- RIP - Smoske, My Friend
Gaiam	Posted - 2006.06.18 00:17:00 - [21] join the circus!
Kata Dakini	Posted - 2006.06.18 00:26:00 - [22] Man I used to mow lawns for $5 a yard when I was a kid. Maybe I was too affordable. Depending on where you live, you might be able to recycle cans for some cash too. I used to give trash cans with bags to people I knew to have them save their cans for me. I'd go around every month or so and collect them all and take them to the recycling center. It was $.025 a container back then.
Istvaan Shogaatsu	Posted - 2006.06.18 00:43:00 - [23] Sell weapons to rogue states.
Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.06.18 02:37:00 - [24] Originally by: Istvaan Shogaatsu Sell weapons to rogue states. Marry me, Istvaan Anyway, starting a business is a lot of work of you're going to do it legitimately, although at 13 it should be easy to do everything in cash and not bother setting up a real business. Also keep in mind that US federal law prohibits putting anything but US mail in US mailboxes, and I suspect other countries have similar laws...doesn't mean you can't get away with it though. -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!
Hoshi Mandella	Posted - 2006.06.18 02:38:00 - [25] shine shoes, wash cars, mow lawns, get older
Firequill	Posted - 2006.06.18 02:40:00 - [26] Edited by: Firequill on 18/06/2006 02:42:25 well, ya could always try to extort your parents Say you go on a chore strike , unless they pay you for it.. And since they are paying you for it, they will want to keep you busy more = more cash. Worked for my folks.. The more they pay, the more work you get to extort them for heh, they do have a soft spot for you, ya know! Example: i started with mowing and managing the kennel (over 40 cats & 12 dogs) training and stuff, later dad wanted me to paint the house, so i did it whenever needed(and charged for it). In the end (a couple of years), they didnt want me to do chores, since they couldnt afford it, and i was doing them all By the age of 15 i had gained skills in : mowing, pet-genetics, obedience-training & care, painting houses, furniture, tuning the family car, pruning (sp?) hedges and planned the garden layout (nice japanese style), have good skills with computers and often get calls from neighbours to do any of these things for a fee. Frankly ive had 1000% more use out of those skills than what i learned in school heh.(Stay in school though!!!)
Dark Shikari	Posted - 2006.06.18 02:49:00 - [27] Originally by: Istvaan Shogaatsu Sell weapons to rogue states. OMG Istvaan is back --Proud member of the [23]-- -WTB Platinum Technite, WTS Nanotransistors, Heavy Electron II, 100mn AB II-
Viktor Fyretracker	Posted - 2006.06.18 05:04:00 - [28] great thing about being 13, all your income is untaxable. AFAIK at 13 i dont think you have to file any income like lawn mowing and lemonade stands(not that one would make enough mowing lawns to perk interest from the IRS).
Negative Nancy	Posted - 2006.06.18 05:21:00 - [29] Steal stuff and pawn it or sell dope. Seriously though, I used to cut my neighbor's lawn. Steal your old man's lawnmower and use that, otherwise just use the lawnmower that belongs to the people you cut for. I was lucky too, my neighbor was the news anchor for one of the Milwaukee news channels, and she was smokin' hot. Used to lay around in her bikini so while I mowed the lawn I listened to my CD player and thought about her.
Baldour Ngarr	Posted - 2006.06.18 06:10:00 - [30] Originally by: Dark Shikari Originally by: Istvaan Shogaatsu Sell weapons to rogue states. OMG Istvaan is back Not for long, if he makes posts like that in flagrant breach of damn near every forum rule there ever was. ________________________________________________ "I tried strip mining, but I lost, and it's cold flying around in space naked."
