How To Make Money as a Pre-Teen
October 28, 2019
Option 1: You could babysit kids if you know how to take care of them and like spending time with them. If you have family or friends to use as references, ask them to put in a good word for you if they have friends looking for babysitters. This would be a great job for those of you with younger siblings because I’m sure you have plenty of experience.
Option 2: Organize a yard sale. You can sell your old and unnecessary items. Your parents may even be nice enough to add in a few items of their own to help you out. These days, you can even do online yard sales through social media. A lot of people sell items that way.
Option 3: Another way to earn money is to walk a dog. This helps you and the dog get some exercise. A lot of sweet animals are kept tied up or in pens, so I’m sure many owners would appreciate some extra time and attention for their fur babies.
Option 4: Try recycling things. Recycling is a good way to earn money, and it also helps clean the environment. You can recycle aluminum cans and scrap metal to earn some quick cash.
Option 5: You can mow lawns. If you have nothing to do in the summer, try cutting people’s grass. Many homeowners do not have the time to mow their lawns, so hiring someone like you is at the top of their summer to do list!
What other ideas do you have to share? How do you earn your extra cash? Comment below with your ideas!

If only I knew where to look for people who want their dogs walked, I would LOVE to walk some precious doggos and cattos.
Then there’s the problem of if my mom would let me.. But still, great How To!
hmm… I wish I could get my mom to let me yard sale.
i would do all that but id have to find alot of people lol
Hmm. I have a lot of different kids I can babysit. Alaya, Skylar, Blaize, Lulu, Abby, Weston, Jacob, Natalie, or Peyton. Just depends on the hours, days, and money. Lol
I love to babysit because when I was in 5th grade I helped my sister watch a little baby.
My mom used to babysit my cousins, then one day we babysat somebody’s kids who weren’t related to us, I mean it helped be a little patient since I was the oldest. I would teach them what I was learning in school and I guess it confused them because they never understood what in the ding dang darn diddly Earth I was talking about until they got in my grade. Personally, have yard sales every few years. I have been thinking about selling my paintings or maybe lemonade. Probably a few paintings. Maybe both. Not sure but anyway, I’m sure I could get a few dollars.
Great job Deysy oink these are really good ideas.
I babysit my sister every morning and my grandma pays me.
