I'm looking for a way to make money...

Okay, I know this has been asked before, but search comes up with 150 pages. o_O
Anyway, if you go on Phoenix Survival you'll probably have heard that I want an AlienWare laptop. There's one big problem though: I'm 13, unemployed, and have less than 100 bucks to start with.
I'm looking for some way to make money. Keep in mind that I'm only 13 ATM, so nothing TOO hard.
Something online or with computers is preferred, I prefer to work at my own pace. any ideas?

I'm looking for something that can eventually, in a reasonable amount of time make a few hundred, although I'm probably being somewhat overoptimistic unless I create a game.

Edit: Here is an idea for a game, tell me if you'd pay for it and how much.

You are the leader of a nation, starting in very primitive technology. In order to create new buildings, you must create all of the resources, have them made into parts, and then built, all by your little NPC minions. By climbing the technology ladder, you can begin to develop new things such as metalworking or gunpowder. You can get more resources by trading, or you can conquer enemy (other players, I came up with a neat idea to use dropbox as a server host) cities to become the top ranking player.

Re: I'm looking for a way to make money...

The way I make money is by making accounts on online games, leveling the player up to the max level, making he/she look cool and then selling the account for $10 at my school.

If your a gamer this might be the job for you. If you want to be a programer you can get started with flash and make a website with your HTML skills and stuff. Perhaps create an online game and charge a cheep price for memberships and stuff.

Re: I'm looking for a way to make money...

I have an alienware. I am posting from it. My J key's J symbol came off. I honestly think alienware can be annoying at times; it lags more than normal, random alien FX pop-up in japanese sometimes appears, it is also very heavy for a laptop. I don't know if you should get it. Normally, I use my dell since it is faster, lighter and has pop-up block auto-installed. I recommend dell over alienware.

Dell is Alienware, but alienware is the gaming computer branch of it. still, I'm willing to put up with that for extra performance during games.

I'd pay for it, $20-30.

Try searching up "paying jobs for 13 year olds" on a search engine like Google. You'll get a bunch of websites that offer many good suggestions on how to make money regardless of your age.  smile

Article writing doesn't look too bad. I'm trying to raise money to hire a programmer to design an app, so this is an idea.
