...Not ToO money. Like, REAL money. You see, I'm going to the American Idol Live Tour this summer and I'm getting front row seats. But the tickets are like a LOT of money. But oh well, I'll pay just so I'll be inches away from *gasp* David Archuleta! *screams hysterically and than faints*

But anyways, I need $100 more dollars. I can't baby-sitt because I'm doing Youth Theater which is like everyday and all day long. So any ideas? Thank y'all!

Well, if you're doing something all day, every day it will be a little difficult to find time to earn money, I think.

Babysitting and LAWN MOWING! $\:D/$ were the two things that first popped in my mind but your schedule apparently doesn't allow for such things.

There are random places on the net that will pay you to take surveys, etc, but that is pretty tedius and takes a lot to really amount to any earned income.

A few years back I just mowed one lawn over the summer and basically at $20 a pop assuming you do it once a week, that's $240 in 3 months of summer alone, not including spring and fall mowings.

Sounds like you're only be available in the evening... perfect opportunity to offer your babysitting services to families in need.

Other possibilities you might want to consider include paper routes in the mornings or bake sales on the weekends (The Buck Stops Here).

With a bit of creativity, you can even raise a million dollars!

Pet-sitting would be another idea... depending on the animal, usually you only have to stop by the person's house once or twice a day.

(Though if it's a dog, you may need to stop by more often...)

Or you could always sell mud shooters or burry it some money so that no one would steal it from you.

Call me crazy but i wanna go!!! im going to look up ticket prices and stuff. If I even get to go, thatd be sweet. It'd be great to see Brooke and Jason again. *sighs* Oh the good ole days. (4 or 5 weeks ago but who's counting...) Tell me if you get them. And, of course give me the 411 when you get back.

Something that I've gotten money from before I got a job- was helping a few elderly ladies at my (former) church. I was raising money for a missions trip- and I did light chores for them. (like..easy weeding, painting a little fence, raking..stuff like that).

Now, a mission's trip is more sellable to Church ladies than an American Idol concert.

But, it's an idea.

Cliché, perhaps- but...a paper route. You could do it in the mornings, and then be free for the rest of the day!

Considering your packed schedule.....there really aren't many options. =/ Since...a job takes time!

ya ryan, real good advise for some of those younger kids who look up to you, and those people who expect you to be a fantastic chief of police.

Top would back me right?

I don't recommend stealing it...lol. I didn't know people looked up to me either. *Goes to write a book about it*

I was actually just coming into this thread to make the same suggestion! $\:D/$

Since it has been taken, though, I suggest selling fish sticks door-to-door.

Ryan won't answer that question, because ryan is busy being an upstanding Chief of Police and won't tell people how to steal.

Ok anyway, Yeah with a packed schedule liek that it WOULD be hard...I only babysit and board a horse...
Well first of all find something you like to do. I mean if you like little kids then babysitting would be best, or maybe you could do some yard work like Simblemyne said...and then put up some flyers promoting what you'll be doing.

Two syllables!

eBay.

Got a lot of junk laying around? Just sell it! It doesn't even have to be old junk! Got some books or video games or movies or household appliances you're not using? Trust me, you can sell anything on eBay.

Just in the last month and a half, my Dad and I made about $3,500 just selling junk on eBay. Fishing lures, blenders, vaccuums, video games, tools, computer programs, you name it. You just take some pictures, upload it to the server, and wait for a bidder. Then, all you need to do is mail it to the buyer once it sells. Perfectly simple for somebody with a simple mind like mine. :3

(Wow, I could make commercials for a living...)
