How do i make some summer cash?

[quote name='tagzard' post='3708540' date='Jun 11 2011, 08:03 PM']So it's summer. And I just got a debit card so i can buy stuff of ebay and here at gbatemp (i already have a paypal). I bought like a bunch of stuff already. But I want to make some money over the summer. Can you guys hold the Lawn Mowing idea cause I broke my lawn mower and it won't be fixed for 3 months do ya. What can a 14 year old do to make some cash?[/quote]
coding maybe? lol its what i do im 11 but i can learn young and rake it in later

Your 11? Wow. Isn't there a age limit to gbatemp?

? Was there? o.o i didnt even have to activate my email lol

Go around to some oldish people you may know and ask them if they want help with anything, maybe.

Well, Im 16 and I deliver newspapers.

I wouldnt recommed it tough, it such a tough job for about ~130$ a month.
Unfortunately, this is the only job I can get because I only have a study visa here. >.<

You're 14, don't worry about money yet. Unless mommy and daddy are strict parents, there isn't much you need to do. Do chores for your parents: it's summer, they like having you doing things for fun (or maybe not, who knows...), and they certainly don't want to clean/cut grass/scrub toilets/make dinner table all of the time.
If you want a job, get yourself one, but don't just do it for money. Do it to build some character and inner strengths within: they're countless times more valueable than anything money can buy you.

Or, Like TheDreamLord said, do something creative that can pay off! Doesn't even have to be programming, really. Good at painting? Draw portraits of others! Got some musical talent? Make some music! EVERYONE has a talent, even if you don't know or think so. You just have to be fearless of your mistakes, and stare down the demons that give you fear.

Now I'm freaking motivated to do stuff

Well, there's various things you can do online. I personally do freelancing web and graphic design and I'm 17 years old, but I started doing when I was around 13 or 14.

You could sell flashcarts. That's what I do. An R4 1:1 clone and a 2gb MicroSD, all setup and ready for use for 40$. They sell like hot cake.

nice idea lmao U buy both and set them up then sell for 40$? Niiiice

As selling flashcarts are legally questionable, I suggest you go against that.

Costs me 10$ in all. It's a really lucrative business. With all the money I was able to buy a TV, an Xbox 360, a 400$ car(I still don't have a permit, but I got a car) and a bunch of other stuff like a soldering iron or a case for my iPhone.

I sell mostly to friends or friends of friends. No risk of being ratted out.

You're a healthy kid in the US.
You can easily make ~$200 a week by donating your blood plasma.
Three hours per week with a needle in your vein,
While you're watching TV or playing your handheld game console.
(I personally watched porn .DPGs on my DS lite)
((And a lot of the nurses are cute as hell. ))

At your age you'll probably need parental approval.
But you could be paid for doing something good for your fellow man.

It's something to consider.

How do you find projects to work on?

I lol'd so hard.
Pretty much every job exists to make money. That's all there is to it.
There are obvious exceptions, but for the most part having a job is for money. Unless he volunteers at a place for free.

Of course they all exist to trade time and service for money (stupidly). But you WILL need to learn something along the way. Many jobs needs the ability to work together with the worst of people to do something, and so you build a team of trust and workforce to do so. Unless you're self-employed, a very small workforce, or just a recluse, you won't get far without some people skills.

get a job. places are hiring. (for the most part)

<= (is unemployed)

You really don't need work to build those qualities.
