What can a 13 year old do for a home based business? -

My babysitting practice recently collapsed and now i am looking for another home business/way to make money that I can do from home or with limited to full work in the community. My options are open other than mowing lawns, housework, etc. I will be 14 in february and I am currently in 8th grade. Any suggestions???

I know this girl Nori who started her own web business at 14. She is 17 now and will never have to work a real 9-5 job in her life. Read her case study. It s listed below under Nori Evoy - Anguilla Beaches.com If anything, reading it will open some ideas for you.Good luck!

You have alot of options. What are your skills? hobbies? interests? You should focus on finding and filling the needs of your potential customers, not on your needs for money. Trust me, do what you love and the money will follow. Do you have a library near you? Check out the following two books... Fast Cash for Kids by Bonnie Noel Drew and The Richest Kids in America by Mark Vincent Hansen. You will be amazed!!! You can do so much besides outside and inside chores if you put your mind (and energy) into it. Don t let your age be a handicap... be the best at what you do. What about teaching computers? writing about personal interests? making crafts? cooking or baking??? What s wrong with washing windows or laundry/ironing? recycling or selling thermostats/energy light bulbs??? Oh, the list goes on and on but the more you say no to an idea, the more you are limiting yourself... and your income. What do your customers want/need??? That s the answer for you!!!

i agree, i hate spam they are so annoying!!well i am trying babysitting now but other ways i have found money is a ask my parents for an increase allowance if i do more chores, which has worked i now get $5 extra every week! which adds up to alot at the end of the month :)another way i tried once was selling cupcakes in a friendly community, but they was overseas so there were so health laws and conditions. but i made about $35 from thatlasty i sold my creations and a sunday market. i make earrings and although i only sold 1 ($5) i took on the advice that was given to me and now i am trying to improve on them and sell more maybe some other time :)
