Re: Ways A 10 Year Old Could Earn Money

if you have a blogger blog, google adsense might work, but you may need to use your parent's paypal for this to work. then Ebay is your friend. try to wait to the end to bid, but this should be common sense.  wink

Re: Ways A 10 Year Old Could Earn Money

If you're good enough with computers, try establishing yourself as the neighborhood techie. You may not make thousands, but you'd be surprised how much people will pay to have something relatively simple fixed on their computer. Don't overcharge people, be friendly, and eventually people will come to you with their tech problems. Then you can take their stuff! No, hear me out. Many people will end up giving you their old pieces of technology because they figure you can work magic with them. I've gotten three laptops this way.

I won't steal.

But this is a pretty good idea. Although, I'm a semi-geek, and I don't want to get into true geek territory.

Haha, I don't mean literally stealing things! From my experience, people will give you lots of things they can't use but you can. One man's trash is another's treasure.

There's something called "doing it to be nice." I shovel and rake leaves and don't get any money. That's just stuff that's expected of you.

I can fix computers easily, simple things like registry, lost files, the whole shebang

Meh, my dad pays me a little bit. Perhaps I'll convince my dad to pay me for shoveling too  big_smile

For example, for this pile:

So, where you live, you're expected to go over to someones house, grab a rake, and rake their lawn?

Raking leaves is worth more than some cat doodles.

Hey, just because no one wants to buy your drawings, doesn't mean you can mock the fine business of art commissions. Wealthy suckers would be willing to pay a lot for anything as long as it's in their interests

You could blast Gorillaz music down the street. Someone would appreciate it right?

Oh wait, no, you'd be fined for disturbing the peace. or for horrible music
