How Can A 13 Year Old Up Their Income ??????

I was just wondering how an 13 year can up their income other than the pocket money. Now that there is all this insurance policies scattered everywhere it is virtually impossible for a young person to up the income.

    You could start by writing in plain text, red letters that are underlined are hard to read.

    If you want to post in forums a good tip is to make your posts as easy to read as possible.

    Paper rounds and jobs for your family but make sure you do a good job. Perhaps you know elderly people who would like their garden kept neat and tidy. Dogs can be walked for payment too.

    My neighbours daughter and her friend cleaned peoples cars when they were 13, did a brilliant job. Now they are both 17 and have their own car cleaning business.

    I had a paper round, loved it, £7.50 a week lol. When my eldest was 13 he had a dog walking round each evening and a paper round before school.

    My 15yo started doing a paper round when he was 13. He makes £23 a week.

    How much money are you looking to make?

    When I was 15 and had my paper round (9 years ago) I made £11.

    I think paper round is your best chance.

    Do fruit stalls on markets employ 13 year olds? I know the one near me used to, but i dont know anymore.

    For confirmation: No, I'm not a 40 year old woman, I'm a 26 year old bloke!

    I used to have a work colleague who brought in Avon catalogues to help her 13 year old neighbour get some extra cash.
