Ways A 10 Year Old Could Earn Money
I'm saving up for a MacBook.
Do you have any good ideas to get the money within a year from now? I'm too weak to mow lawns, to young to babysit, and I'm not good enough at my guitar.
So, do you have any good ways to make money fast, with those boundaries? While your at it, could you hunt down some good deals on non-used MacBooks?
Thank you.

...eBay. Sell your junk there and buy a macbook cheap off there. 
Get your parents to help!

Re: Ways A 10 Year Old Could Earn Money
I can't think of any ideas for getting money, but I do know how to pay less on a comp:
Buy a PC.
I know I will get criticism for saying that, but it has been proven that PCs are cheaper at each performance level than Macs. I am not saying Macs are bad, it is just that PCs are just cheaper and just as good. I am typing on a nearly 2 year old HP laptop, and it is as good as new, other than it is a little slow booting up because it is loaded down with old programs I don't use anymore.
You can get a $800 PC that is as powerful as a $1000-1200 Mac.
Just think about this advice.

1. Win pokemon tcg competitions and sell prizes
2. Mochiads in flash games you make (or make a stencyl one using a flash pre-loader, but this requires a $700 investment...)
3. Sell candy to your school (woo, I got £25 a day)
4. Go on funorb, they have freaking giveaway competitions for everything apart from sentinels...
5. Make something like minecraft.

Does it snow where you live? You could shovel peoples driveways for people over the winter.

Nah. I live in the south, so we barely ever get snow.
But great suggestion!

And it won't be of much cost for me, since I can't eat most candy. Thank you so much!

You could try selling stuff you don't want/need any more in a garage sale or car-boot sale - I currently have a box of art sets, duplicate books, books/toys I'm too old for, etc, so that, come the next time my parents go to a car-boot sale, I can sell a few things.

Its too bad about the candy. If you get good candy (Big hersheys bars and skittles and the like), you can sell them for a dollar each and make quite alot of money that way.
