Step 1
Start saving your loose change, it adds up. Say every day you buy lunch and get 50 cents back, throw that 50 cents in a jar and by the end of the year you are guaranteed to have upwards of 50 dollars.
-
Step 2
Offer to do things for your friends. Friends will often pay you to do things like cut their hair, help their families move, help them with yardwork etc. Pretty much, they will pay you to avoid doing anything that seems like work to them.
-
Step 3
Get a part-time job or non-contracted job. Pick a skill you have and do it for people for a set amount of money. You can get paid doing anything from mowing lawns to helping out with the theatre department at your high school. Find a niche that you can fill doing what you know how to do.
-
Step 4
If your grades are high enough or you are particularly good at a certain subject (say your second language is Spanish) hire yourself out as a private tutor. Parents will pay good money to see their children well educated.
-
Step 5
Make money by working for a media based company such as CHA CHA. You might already be good at seemingly useless things like texting and writing papers, but you can be putting these skills to use online.
