How can i make money fast?
Im trying to raise money to go to Japan... I know IT'S A LOT OF MONEY!!! But im only 13 and i really want to try to go. I have a pet sitting job, and i only work for two people. and one of them has stopped going to their location for a while, so im not working for them right now, and the other person barely goes on vacation. Are there any good ideas on how i can raise money for this? Btw, I live in Arizona. So please give me USEFUL information, and not just "oh thats nearly impossible, its to much work, your too young" blah blah blah. haha.. Thank You!!! P.S. Im trying to go next year, if that cant work for me then two years (2011) and i need around 5,000 dollars. Not really that much but NO MORE THAN THAT, im just aiming high. im not trying to raise that much, just roughly. THANK YOU!! (arigato) ~Stephanie

Konichiwa, Maybe you could make something and sell it? Where do you want to stay in Japan? Maybe you could find a Japanese family to live with through a reputable organization or a church. Ask you Japanese teacher, he/she may have some ideas. Don't listen to people who tell you that's nearly impossible.

Make babysitting flyers using the computer and put them in the library, people's mailboxes, and grocery stores. Drum up more business and keep a notebook to schedule when you do get a customer. Culver's minimum hiring age is 14 with a workers permit. I called many stores because I am 14 looking for a job. This was the response they gave which makes me happy after looking for so long. Find a local one go online and apply and go in store to apply or call and ask if they are hiring. What I did was Google a bunch of business near my home and found their numbers using Google maps or their sites and I called and directly asked if they are hiring and what age do they hire at. Try local grocery stores, pizza parlors, retail stores, fast food restaurants.

Fill out surveys online. Companies who want to know what’s on the minds of their customers are willing to pay for your opinion. Online surveys won’t make you rich, and won’t allow you to quit your day job, but you can make a little extra cash. When choosing between surveys, read the fine print. There is usually an asterisk near the "you won" part. This means you have to do something like buying stuff before you even get to talk about your prize. Don't fall into these sorts of traps, they're ridiculously difficult and not worth it. In general, the more companies you sign up with, the more survey requests you’ll receive in your email and more opportunity you’ll have to make money.
