Try to sell unnecessary items, do some work for money, or find a job with casual employment. In this article, we'll show you how to do this.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: How to Sell Unwanted Items

1. 1 Sell ​​unnecessary items online. Surely you have things that you no longer use. To make money, you can sell anything you don't need. You can put things up for sale on Avito, on other similar sites or on social networks.
   • You can sell unnecessary toys, video games and consoles, books, DVDs, collectibles.
   • Be aware that you will not be able to sell these items at the price you bought them. Used items lose value. Expect to receive approximately 30-40% of what you paid for the item.
   • Try to put the item on avito.ru. Describe the thing in detail. Consider whether you are ready to mail the item. Shipping will cost money, and this amount must be factored into the price. Never leave your home address and home phone number to customers. Do not invite the buyer to pick up the item from your home. You do not know what kind of person will come to buy, and you need to think about your safety. If you are under 18, you may need to be an adult to create an account.
   • Try to register on other sites (for example, irr.ru) or display things in a special service Vkontakte. Make an appointment with a buyer in neutral territory and have a friend or family member come with you.
   • You may be able to find specialized sites that sell used books, video games, collectibles, and more. Search for all possible sites on the Internet.
2. 2 Sell ​​your stuff to shops. There are shops that buy used books and video games in good condition. Look for such stores in your city. There are also thrift stores that include unwanted clothing, toys, and consumer electronics. Remember that this will not make you a lot of money, but if you have a lot of things, a good amount will come up over time.
3. 3 Ask your parents to sell unnecessary items. If you are moving or just have a lot of unnecessary items in your home, invite your parents to list the items for sale and help them sell. You can collect separately your things for which you would like to receive money.
4. 4 Sell ​​things handmade.... If you know how to do beautiful things, try to make money with it. Knits, cookies, jewelry, gift baskets and many other things sell well during the holiday season when people are looking for interesting gifts.
   • You can sell items online or at local craft fairs. If you are under 18 years of age, an adult must create an Internet account.
   • If you choose to sell online, be careful. Do not leave your home address and only meet with the buyer accompanied by a friend and in a public place.
5. 5 Sell ​​things at school. Find out if the school will be against it. Pencils, erasers, other school supplies and food will sell well if the price is affordable. Sell ​​items you didn't use in the previous school year, or ask your parents to buy a batch of office supplies for you at a discount wholesale store. Make sure the school authorities approve this.

Method 2 of 3: How to Provide Services

1. 1 Sell ​​lemonade. If you know how to make delicious lemonade, try selling it to your neighbors in your yard. This way you can make some money during the summer months. If you don't want to be limited only in summer, you can sell tea or coffee during the colder season.
   • Ask for parental permission and make sure your age allows you to work.
   • Be careful when handling hot drinks.
2. 2 Ask your parents to pay you money. Make a list of chores to do each week. Then negotiate with your parents how much they can pay you for it.
   • Do not be discouraged if the amount is not as large as you would like. You can take on most of the work or negotiate a pay increase later.
   • You can clean up the bathroom, wash the dishes, make the bed, vacuum, dust, sweep and mop the floor, walk the dog.
3. 3 Do housework for your neighbors. If you have elderly neighbors in your home with a lot of housework, offer your help for money. Talk to neighbors and find out if anyone is interested in such cooperation.
   • If you live in a private house, help your neighbors with mowing the lawn in the summer. In winter, you can clear snow from the paths around the house.
   • Invite your neighbors to clean up their attic or garage. These places quickly become a mess.Find out if anyone needs your help.
4. 4 Sit with children. If you have a younger sister or brother and can already take care of the child on your own, ask your parents if they would agree to pay you to sit with your child while they are not at home. This will allow you to gain experience and over time you will be able to sit with the children of your neighbors. However, remember that people prefer older nannies. If you are only 13 or 14 years old, perhaps no one wants to hire you.
5. 5 Take care of animals for money. If your family or neighbors go on vacation, offer to look after the animals for a small fee. If you love animals, you will enjoy this activity. But remember that you will need to take your responsibilities very seriously. Follow the owner's directions, especially if the animal is on medication or does not eat all of its food.
6. 6 Organize your music group. If you have musical talent, start a group with friends or family members. If you can learn to play popular songs that are heard on TV and radio, you can perform for money. Include religious songs for church events, songs played on the radio for school prom, and old-fashioned songs for seniors events.

Method 3 of 3: How to get a job

1. 1 Work as a promoter or ad poster. Sometimes this kind of work is entrusted to teenagers.
   • You don't need experience to do this job. For many teens, this is a great way to learn performance and interact with others.
   • Remember that this is quite a demanding job. You will have to bypass all the specified addresses or hand out all the leaflets that you have.
2. 2 Write reviews or other texts. Contact the editorial office of a children's newspaper or magazine. You may be offered a freelance job.
   • You can even write reviews for your own website or blog. It will take some time for the site to become popular, but all your efforts will pay off, especially if you write about what is close to you.
3. 3 Work at a car wash. Some of the car washes are operated by teenagers who have reached the age of 16. Usually they are assigned the simplest tasks. If you live in a small town, ask if your help is needed at the car wash.
4. 4 Offer your computer skills. Many children and adolescents are better at computer skills than the older generation. Find out if adults need help with a computer. Perhaps your grandparents would be willing to pay you a small sum to teach them how to use the Internet, mail, text editors, and more.
5. 5 Upload videos to YouTube. If you want to make money, try recording useful videos. If you have a lot of views and subscribers, YouTube will pay you to advertise. Think about what topics will interest you and your peers. Record funny videos about movies and TV shows, give advice on style, on communication with friends, relatives and other close people. Remember YouTube will only pay 2 cents for 6,000 views.

Tips

• Try to attract your siblings. If you have a sister or brother your age, ask your parents to give them pocket money as well. Parents will know that you care about your loved ones.
• If you can't make money in any way, look for coins on the ground. You won't get rich that way, but it's better than nothing. You can also recycle paper and cans for money.

Warnings

• Do not sell things at the school if the administration is against it. Someone will call your parents and you will be punished. Do not sell anything during the lesson - this will displease the teacher.
