How Kids Can Make Money Fast

If you are a kid and want to make money, you have one thing going for you that many adults do not.  It is called optimism.  Once you set out with a positive attitude and little negative work experience to reflect on, you will not inhibit yourself from taking action.
Planned action is the way you get things done. You plan out what you want to do, research it a bit and then when you have enough information, simply start by doing something to achieve your goal.  So you set a goal like, " I want to make $50 a week". Then you make a list of ways you can do that.  Here are some ideas to get you started.

• Lemonade Stand
• Baby Sitting
• House Cleaning
• Yard Work
• Washing neighbor's cars
• Taking care of neighbor's pets
• Housesitting for vacationing neighbors (watering plants, feeding pets...)

For teens, you may consider snow shovelling although you should never do a task that is beyond your physical ability because getting injured at a young age is not worth the couple bucks you make. Never attempt a job that you feel is either beyond your ability or unsafe.In any case, education and family come first, so if you find you have the time and the experience to carry out a particular task, then go for it.  Otherwise, start small say by helping your parents with certain tasks to get the experience so that someone else will pay you for your work.  Sometimes you will need to take a course or get experience to do certain types of work (like babysitting, lifeguard, sports referee...)
So part of the plan will be to get the experience, take the classes and then go after promoting your services.  You can also do internet based work if you are so inclined.  Many companies and individuals need odd writing jobs done for the internet, so pay attention in English class and get your reading and writing (and typing skills) up to snuff.
Sure it is a stretch to say that you are planning for your future by improving your typing skills while playing World of Warcraft, but that may not be such a bad idea!.....(and actually, it works - Wow players and other online communicators learn to type fast out of necessity, but typing is a very important skill to learn, so never too early to get started. If you are very young, check out a SpongeBob typing tutor or other typing software to help you get going.
In any case whether you want to make money "fast" or just start making money, your training, focus and action will help you get started. For a really fast money making tip, ask mom or dad if you can help them clean out the basement or garage (yech, why would you do that?), because then you can make a deal that says you get x% of any items you decide you no longer need and you can list on eBay. Just have your parents sign up for an eBay account and learn how to list your personal items for sale.  Now there is some quick cash! :)
