Your a teen, so generally speaking this isnt a good idea. Errands for strangers. Just not good. BUT, there is a way. Start with family. Let your clients begin with family and their close friends. Like coworkers of like 10 or more years. Mothers and Grand Mothers of close friends. Even choose your local senior citizen center. You can charge $3 for seniors for up to 3 or 5 tasks. If you get 10 Seniors thats $30 and gas is like $3 for 20miles of driving. Thats your best bet. Low on cancellations, good client base. Get an accordion file so you can put envelopes of money and instructions in each area. Clients that come back get their name out on a file area in the accordion file. Get a toll free number from www.onebox.com for like $12 a month an forward that to your cell. Get free business cards at www.vistaprint.com and get a professional brochure for your business at www.stocklayouts.com. You would charge for daily or single errand. Make a list of what you think people need. Get medicine, grocery shopping, personal shopper, laundry drop off and pick up, dry laundry drop off and pick up, babysitting, etc etc Make some things by hour and some by errand. Consider $2.50 for gas and $2.50 for yourself. Then the errand charge. So if Laundry drop off and pick up is $5 then add $5 and the fee is $10. Or make it 8 or 9 and they will give you a 10 dollar bill and you keep the tip. Minimum $5 charge. Daily Errands or DE s (created your lingo already lol) are your bread and butter. If you can get a routine going its gaurenteed income. Lets say 5 clients @ $10 a day thats $50 a week. Or 10 clients or 2 a day for the week @ $10 each is $100 a week. Not bad for a teen. Just make sure to open a bank account and always put 20-30% of what you make in the bank and dont touch it. Save until your 21-22 and you will be amazed. Be your first car money =) Save $25 a week = $1200 a year $30 a week = $1440 a yearAsk your parents about what I said and show them the websites. They might have something to add to what I said. Dont think immediately that you wont ask them. Usually if you have a good plan they will back you up and help.Good luck and be safe. Make sure you have them fill out a application. Includes their name, address, home number, cell number, job number, and on the back of this application without them knowing it put their license plate number get a birth month and day to send them birthday cards. But your getting the information for your safety =) $5 minimum covers your gas and alittle something for yourself. Thats 10miles of driving and $2.50. The rest is profit. So always start you prices at $5 plus whatever your going to charge for the fee. If the errand is $0 add $5 for a total fee of $15. But your clients should NEVER know this. This is a business owners eyes only. When you charge $15 they shouldnt know how your money breaks down. Maybe you can give birthday errands for free IF they are a regular client and you have used them alot before.
