hi, i'm 14 years old (yup, only 14 :() and i was wondering if there was any kind of selling i could do online that i can make money off (if i do start an online business i would probably have at least $500 to start with, although i don't think that's a lot)

does anyone have an idea of an opportunity for me, such as ebay?

or maybe an online job where i can advise people on computer hardware related issues?

or maybe even something related to writing; i'm pretty sure i can write some formal stuff

thx

see what you need to do is go mow some lawns for people....yes youll have to go outside to do it, so get some sunscreen or a spotlight and do it at night ;)

otherwise you can buy stuff in hot deals and sell it on ebay for profit

well i've thought about mowing lawns, but there's no potential in it, it's always gonna be the same low pay for my hard work

You can make a sh1tload of money mowing lawns if you're dedicated and in a good market. People will drop $25-50 per lawn easily.

well in the area i live in basically everyone has someone to mow their lawn (i live in california - try to figure out why ;))

and i don't have a lot of time to drop on lawn mowing/newspaper delivering etc., since i have all AP/honor classes it's pretty hard to squeeze in time

Why sacrifice a great future in academia for a time consuming job that does nothing but fund petty purchases like video games?
If you don't have the time to do odd jobs, then stick with your studies. The fact is that minimum wage jobs are not going to be the jobs that secure your financial future, only give you working experience and appreciation for labor. This is what summers are for.
Honestly, be glad you are still 14 and can avoid having living expenses. Have some fun, and learn.
