It is hard work to earn 100 euros in one week, especially for children. You can't make it with just one thing - but with a lot of things every child can achieve his or her goal without any problem. So see how much free time you have and start brainstorming. Which of the following ideas seem fun and profitable to you?

To step

Method 1 of 8: Helping the neighbors

1. Ask your neighbors if they need help. There are a million things you can help your neighbors with, especially if they are older people. If your parents are okay with it, visit your neighbors and ask them, but make sure you have some ideas ahead of time. Sometimes people don't know what they need! Here are some ideas to get you started:
   • Washing cars
   • Mow the lawn
   • Weeding the garden
   • To recycle
   • Weekly things like taking out the trash.
2. Watch their house. Since you live next door, you can easily walk up to your neighbors' house and take care of it when they are away. They can conduct their business worry-free if they know their home is safe. Talk about easy work! (Just don't throw parties.)

Method 2 of 8: Seasonal Help

1. Take advantage of winter, spring, summer and fall. If you live somewhere with clear seasons, use them to make money.
   • In the summer you can mow the lawn and sell lemonade.
   • You can rake leaves in the fall.
   • In winter you can shovel snow or hang Christmas lights.
   • In the spring you can help prepare and plant the garden.
2. Take advantage of the holidays and holidays. Besides using the seasons, you should also take advantage of the holidays and holidays!
   • Hang or remove the Christmas lights.
   • Watch out for pets or babies when your neighbors have vacation plans or parties.
   • Craft fun things to celebrate the occasion. Grow your own pumpkin for Halloween in October, grow roses for Mother's Day or make homemade chocolates for Valentine's Day - what holiday is coming that will make you money and reach your $ 100 goal?

Method 3 of 8: Grooming your pets

1. Walk dogs. If you have neighbors who have dogs, ask them if you can walk their dogs. First ask the neighbors who are busiest, because they can use your offer the most. Make sure the dog you want to walk is good with children. Especially since you are still a child yourself.
2. Offer your services as a pet or child sitter. If you are old enough to handle a small pet or a child, become a sitter! If you have a little brother or sister, you probably already have the experience you need.
   • Let your neighbors know that you are almost always available and that you would like to look after their child / pet when they are away or on vacation. Do you have their phone number?

Method 4 of 8: Mini jobs or shifts

1. Take a newspaper job, but remember that you have to work every day of the week to earn that $ 100. If you have a bike and an arm, you can start. All you have to do is get up in the morning, pick up the newspapers that have been delivered to you, get on your bike and go with that banana!
   • Sometimes they already have enough newspaper deliverers in your area. Contact the local newspaper and ask them for information - they may have a different job for you or keep you in mind for when they do need someone.
2. Start tutoring. If you are good at math, Dutch, history or any other subject, why not start as a homework tutor? Almost everyone wants good grades. Tell people that you offer cheap tutoring - and that you have good grades to prove you can help. Talk to your parents, your teachers, or your local tutoring institution to get started.
   • This also makes you smarter! By teaching others things, your brain will remember it better. Starting this is something you can do for years to come.
3. Do what you do best. You can probably do something that others cannot do, or cannot do well. What is that? It may seem normal to you - but you may be able to make money from your skills! Here are some ideas for cracking your brain:
   • Can you sew? Consider making clothing (or accessories - think belts, pins, cords, hair ties, etc.) for children or adults. Don't forget that you may need to do some shopping to experience things. If you have to spend more than $ 10, you might as well give up and save your money for your $ 100 goal. Of course, you can also ask someone to give you money to buy craft supplies, but if they want to give you that, they might as well give it to you to collect that $ 100. It may also be difficult to sell your craft supplies to the same people who paid for your craft supplies. In fact, they pay twice!
   • Do you understand a lot about technology? Do something with your computer skills and offer your services to adults who are still struggling with computers in 2018.
   • What do you think about art? Think little things - Christmas or party decorations are a good place to start.
   • Do you play music or sing? You may be able to play at small parties, church gatherings, or social events in your ward. Especially when you have cheap prices!
   • Do you have things at home that you don't need? If so, you may be able to sell them at the flea market.

Method 5 of 8: Household chores

1. Do household chores at home. Does your mom have to vacuum the house? Does your dad have to water the lawn? Make a list of tasks you can do that week and give each task a price.
   • Tasks that take more time and effort come at a higher price. At the bottom of the list, write the date by which all these tasks should be completed and how much money you will earn if you finish them all on time.
   • Then have your parents sign the note. If they don't agree with your prices, negotiate with them. When you both sign it, you have to do all the tasks - there's no going back!
2. Recycle. This is good for the environment and good for your wallet! Find empty cans and bottles and turn them in for cash. It may not make you tons of money, but it slowly accumulates over time.
   • Ask the neighbors you know if you can have some of their empty cans and bottles. Explain that you are trying to make $ 100 in one week and that you need their help to reach your goal. Maybe they have even more ideas!
3. Make arrangements with your parents. Household chores don't have to be the only thing your parents can reward you for. They may want to give you money for good grades or other things you do well. Talk about it! Ask them what you can do for them and what they are willing to pay for.
   • Some parents give money for particularly good grades, some give money if you turn in your candy, some give money if you throw away your old stuffed toys - so ask them! They may have some ideas too.

Method 6 of 8: Flea markets

1. Organize a free market. If your parents, relatives or neighbors are running a flea market, get involved! Ask if you can use part of the market stall and keep the money from what you sell. Now comes the question: what are you willing to part with?
   • Don't sell your crafts, your dolls with one arm missing an eye, or your Lego that you put in the blender. Nobody wants to buy it. Just check to see if you have any items that are in good condition but that you no longer use. Someone else can happily use them!
2. Go to second-hand stores to sell your old stuff. There are several stores that take your stuff, put a price on it, and give you some of the money when they sell it to someone. So get the stuff you don't need anymore, ask your mom to bring you, and stop by the nearest secondhand store.
   • Consider selling some of your old stuff you don't want anymore on eBay or a similar website. Do you have something that you still have, or don't want anymore?
3. Bake, grow or make things. For this you need a little knowledge and creativity. But if you have both, why not give it a try? Consider these ideas:
   • Do you make great cinnamon buns? Ask your neighbors if they would like homemade cinnamon buns delivered on Sundays. Singles who love this treat probably never make it for themselves!
   • Do you have a garden? Consider growing fruits and vegetables.
   • Are you good at woodworking, sewing or crafting in general? Homemade things are very popular at the moment. If there's one thing you can make that makes a good gift for someone else, make it and sell it!

Method 7 of 8: Options for Teens

1. Find temporary work. Many local businesses hire workers by the day for simple tasks. While you are not eligible for many jobs under the age of 18, you may be able to find work in the hospitality industry as a promoter or glass collector, especially if you are already a teenager. Browse through the vacancies in the newspaper or on the internet. If you've seen a company that employed a teen to hold up a sign or something, give them a call and ask them if they have any vacancies.
2. Find a job that can earn you a tip when you're a teenager. Paid jobs give you a salary that usually isn't paid into your bank account until a few weeks later. However, you can solve this by finding a job that will earn you a cash tip. That way, in addition to receiving your salary, you immediately have money in your pocket.
   • Some examples of jobs that allow teens to tip include restaurant hosts, waiters, servers, hotel attendants, and glass collectors.
3. Find a part-time job. If you're struggling to find people to pay you for your services, get a part-time job now. It's better to make that $ 100 within the next 3 weeks than never. Plus, it takes time to get regular customers with a lawn mowing business as a teenager. While telling people about your shifts, get through the training phase of your side job as soon as possible.

Method 8 of 8: General advice

1. Determine why you need the money. When asking your family, friends, and neighbors to hire you for housework, remember it's more of a favor to you than to them. The reason why you want to earn € 100 quickly can make or break this for you. If you have a good reason, they may respect your ingenuity to make money responsibly. If your reason is crazy or illegal, or you don't have one, you will likely be told no.
   • Some examples of good reasons are: new strings for your guitar, music lessons at the community center, or registering you and your sister or brother to do a 3-mile benefit run.
   • Bad reasons are: wanting to buy a new smartphone because it was the fifth you broke this year, paying someone back at school for something you don't want to name, or buying fireworks.
2. Hang up flyers. It's easy to put a flyer in the letterbox or hang it in your front yard. This way, only reliable people in your neighborhood will contact you for your services - preferably people you already know. Make sure to include all your contact information so people know how to contact you. Check these guidelines for more information on promoting your services.
   • If you run a community center, put up flyers on the bulletin board with your phone number that people can rip off. That makes it easier for people to bring your contact information with them when they walk out the door.
3. Advertise. The easiest way to spread the word about your services is through advertisements on the Internet. Make sure not to include specific information about your identity or address in the ad. Only answer requests that sound genuine. You can also advertise offline or in the newspaper. Although these are less used than their Internet counterparts, many people still scan them for goods and services.
4. Ask your direct and indirect family members. Family members often like to hire each other to help with housework. Tell them what you specialize in, but be ready to do what they need to.Even if you prefer to babysit, don't miss out on that $ 40 for mowing the lawn, as it would earn you 40% of your $ 100. If they are sympathetic to your reason, they are more likely to hire you.

Tips

• Ask a fair price for your services. A price that is too high scares people, but a price that is too low does not earn you enough money.
• Make sure everyone agrees with how much money you receive. You never want to get too little!
• Ask your parents before doing this.
• Charge money for washing cars and increase the price for larger cars.
• Do not overdo it: you will not receive any appreciation or money for half-finished work.
• If you get pocket money, add that to the total.
• If you're making a flyer, make sure your parents don't mind you using the paper for free. If you have to pay for the paper yourself, don't make too many flyers or it will cut into the money you earn.
• Keep the change when you get money to buy things. Provided your parents don't mind, put the change in your pocket and then add it to your savings. Every little bit helps.
• Sometimes parents don't give you money for household chores. Accept this as a minor setback and keep trying.
• You can entertain children for money.

Warnings

• Don't do anything dangerous! Always be safe, especially with strangers.
• Don't talk to complete strangers without a parent around.
• Don't get exhausted by all those jobs. You are then unable to keep your word.
• When you work you shouldn't get your good clothes dirty, so wear clothes that can get dirty and wash afterwards.
