Im a teenager, yet to get her license but I lost my babysitting job because the family moved. Now I have no way of making any money either to save or to spend. Usually when I make money (say the babysitting job when I made $40 a night) I save it. I only spend it when I absolutely want something. Is there any tricks or things I could do to earn money. Im not old enough for a job yet and even if I was I dont have time to work. Help!?
Get another babysitting job near home or sell some unwanted stuff on eBay, becareful responding to ads! and make sure your parents approve before you get into anything.
Try to think what the things that u good at and maybe u can offer some services. I'm doing some girls nails I'm no a pro and I'm a teen to:) it's a good money. It's something that u can do even at your home😊
If you wanna do something like nails to earn money though, please be careful. It's definitely illegal to get paid to do so without proper licensing for a variety of reasons, so make sure you don't actually advertise yourself as a paid nail tech anywhere publicly. Same goes for hair.
If your grades are good, then maybe you should consider tutoring kids who need help with exam strategy or just generally need a way to raise their GPA. I hate to say this, but you can usually sell off some of the pricier bits of your makeup collection at a pretty good price at ebay, especially if you have some limited edition items that are in high demand, like MAC's Candy Yum Yum. Good luck!!
If your crafty, you can make jewelry and sell it, I made little rings ad sold them at school (but careful you could get suspended) and made a huge profit!
